Donald Trump entered his war of choice against Iran without consulting global allies, but as he weighs an exit from the conflict, he is making it clear that he is expecting the world to help him fix the unintended damage that it has caused.

Trump is taking an increasingly annoyed tone toward Europe’s lack of support for the U.S.-Israeli war effort. He also is giving short shrift to the fact that his decision contributed to disrupting the flow of oil to global markets through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has managed to largely choke off even as Trump insists that Iran has been “decimated.”

    Yes, (if I’m following you) if you decimate what’s left each time. But if you decimate one part of the original each time, you only got ten times until there’s nothing left to decimate.

      I’m just joking, but yes.

      There’s an old riddle that asks “if there is a door 8 feet away and you step half way towards the door each time, how many steps does it take to reach the door?” Same idea 🙂.

      Tap for spoiler

      You never reach the door.
