General Discussion

As you mentioned, we will leave Iran as a bigger problem than it was 45 days ago. But beyond that, we have completely flipped off all of our European allies. The relations were already stretched paper thin after the tariffs and Greenland. This war put every one of our European (former) allies into "good riddance" mode.

If we can ever get rid of this evil Republican presence, it will take us a generation to regain the trust of the other western democracies. And by that time, they will have developed work-arounds that leave us out of much of their trade. In one year, Trump has done a whole generation's worth of damage. And even Canada and Mexico are now aggressively pursuing trade strategies that largely leave the US out of it.
