And now it has. Dean Blundell wrote an excellent piece from the perspective of a Canadian on the brief appearance of DJT at the G7 — and his obvious incapacity. It is time to start asking how well soon-to-be President Vance will govern under the tutelage of his patron Peter Theil.

This is essential reading.

Unfortunately the crisis has already started. With Trump’s green light Israel started a war with Iran that they can’t finish. They need the US to do more. But even if we do more, without boots on the ground nothing will really be accomplished. The nation of Iran will remain. Some think the son of the Shah will be beneficial to us if placed there by us and Israel. Maybe; unless Israel is made into a place where it’s unsafe to live because of continual shelling from Iran. Remember, Iran lost millions to Iraq. And we backed Iraq with chemical weapons. Iran has every reason, apart from religion, to hate the US. Israel is only an agent of western culture, enforced at the point of a gun. Relying on Trump to navigate a war with Iran is a sure way to a defeat.
