The evil economics this spring:

— Trump starts a war with Iran
— The oil price doubles
— Trump uses the oil price as an excuse for lifting Russian oil sanctions
— This helps Putin's economy
— Putin fires more Iskander ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Ukraine (~$3 million per missile)
— Ukraine spends more American patriot interceptor missiles (~$6 million per missile, typically two missiles per interception)
— Europe buys more Patriot missiles for Ukraine
— The US makes more money.

I like presidents who do not surrender to Iran.

Ukraine puts the Crimea invaders on notice:

“I want to address those who settled on the peninsula after February 27, 2014. Your presence in the territories of Crimea with forged Russian property ownership documents is illegal in all respects according to Ukrainian national legislation and international law.

As long as the Kerch Bridge is still operational, you have a chance to leave Crimea. Soon, this opportunity will no longer exist.”

— Crimean Tatar politician Refat Chubarov

Putin's Kapotnya refinery in Moscow is wondering if war with Ukraine was such a good idea.

Have a splendid day everyone. 🙌🏻

When allied countries fought Saddam Hussein, our "peace deal" involved his body dangling from the end of a rope, and the Iraqi people gaining the right to elect their own representatives democratically.

Under Trump, the Iran "peace deal" involves American tax payers giving 300 billion dollars to the evil regime while it continues to kill its own people.

Trump said the war would end with "total surrender". He just forgot to mention the US would do the surrendering.

With the reflecting pool now looking like this, I recommend Democratic midterm candidates run on the slogan, "Drain the swamp!"

Trump on March 6: “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

Trump now: Gives Iran $300 billion to end the war.

Trump pretending to be capable of beating Iran only to be beaten himself by the algae in the reflecting pool, is the comedy gold of 2026.

"We, the Leaders of the G7, stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine"

Surprisingly, the US backs a G7 statement which promises more Ukraine support and more Russia sanctions.

The guy who claimed to be a construction expert could not even renovate a square reflecting pool on an infinite budget.

While Trump celebrates that the Hormuz strait is now “fully open” for ships to sail freely without paying any tolls, Iran is cebrating that they have made a deal with Trump that allows them to charge “fees” for safe passage through the strait, which is totally not a toll because it is called a “fee”.

In short: There is no deal. The US is lead by a fool.

Now that they have taken Trump's name down from The Kennedy Center, I cannot wait to see where they will use the letters next.

Will they be driven north to be installed on "The Donald J. Trump and The United States Embassy To Canada", or will they be reused in Washington on "The Donald J. Trump Supreme Court"?
