| But wait, it gets even worse than that. Iran is reportedly
| considering re-opening the Strait to non-Iranian ships, but
| only for trades conducted in Chinese yuan. That would be
| fine and dandy for oh, say... China. And, of course, while
| the U.S. is unlikely to fire on an Iranian oil tanker, it
| would never fire on a Chinese tanker. Talk about World War
| III--that would probably do it.
|
| In short, despite having declared victory on Day 1 (raising
| the obvious question: Why is there still fighting going
| on?), the Trump administration has utterly botched this
| thing, and at the same time is being completely
| outmaneuvered by the Iranian government. Undoubtedly, Henry
| Kissinger and Richard Nixon are rolling in their graves.
|
| And it is abundantly clear that Trump knows he's dug
| himself a hole, and that he's starting to feel the heat.
| The best way to take the President's temperature, of
| course, is to take a look at his
| shoot-first-ask-questions-never social media platform. And
| if you happened to take a look on Sunday night, you saw
| that he fired off an absolutely unhinged rant about Jerome
| Powell, and tariffs, and Joe Biden and a whole bunch of
| other things that ran to nearly 1,000 words. You simply
| cannot read it and say it's the work of a healthy mind.
| It's like reading Ulysses or Infinite Jest, except that
| once you do the hard work of parsing it, there's actually
| nothing there.
