Updates: Trump and Bibi’s deadly, costly, and stupid war with Iran

After reaching a very unclear, ambiguous ceasefire agreement with Iran, Trump has threatened the nation that U.S. military forces will remain deployed in and around Iran until Tehran fully complies with the “real agreement.” Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “launched powerful attacks on Lebanon yesterday, killing at least 250 people, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.”

Mounting global condemnation of Israel was matched by confusion over whether Lebanon was part of the truce deal agreed to by President Donald Trump

Trump spoke with his partner in war crimes on Wednesday and asked Bibi to “scale back Israel’s strikes in Lebanon to help ensure the success of the Iran negotiations…” Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the country’s Cabinet has decided to file an urgent complaint with the United Nations Security Council regarding the escalation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon and instruct the country’s security forces to immediately reinforce the state’s full control over the Beirut governorate.

And…as of today, no ships have moved through the Strait of Hormuz. WINNING!

Trump blasts NATO after closed-door Rutte meeting

Trump bashed NATO and appeared to renew his threats over Greenland after a closed-door meeting with alliance chief Mark Rutte, during which he was expected to discuss possibly leaving the pivotal security bloc.

The Iran war has brought fresh tensions in the diplomatic ties, as several NATO members have resisted supporting the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, denying American military aircraft use of their airspace and declining to contribute naval forces to efforts aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz to energy shipping.

Trump’s comments Wednesday followed a meeting with Rutte at the White House earlier in the day, with spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reportedly saying that NATO had “turned their backs on the American people.”

Oil Prices Rise Again:

U.S. crude oil rose more than 7.5% to over $101 per barrel early Thursday. International Brent crude rose 4% to about $99 per barrel as of 10:30 a.m. ET. Gas prices continued their monthlong climb, with the national average price per gallon hitting $4.17 Thursday, according to data from the motor club AAA.

What the president is doing is batshit crazy.
