    So now we’re complaining about the enshittification of everything driven by the need to maximize profit in a capitalist system and blaming it on our grandparents? More divisive intergenerational warfare bullshit. If you want to find who to blame for this shit look at the capitalists demanding more and more profit from airlines, manufacturers, literally every part of the economy. It always comes down to class war.

    Of course it’s a lie. Everything he says is a lie. But this wasn’t because he couldn’t find help. This was because the credible Iranian threat of bombing every oil field in the middle east was enough to get someone (the US oligarchs?) to tell him to back off. They know that if the oil stops flowing everything will collapse and they will loose billions. It’s always about money in the US. The reaction of the stock markets is what seems to matter most. And honestly I don’t care why he’s turning around. If he pulled out entirely and said it’s because God told him to I’d be delighted. Just stop the madness, please.

    Then again, it is also possible this is just the well-worn US/Israeli tactic of “can we have a cease fire to restock our weapon supplies?”

    And to my original point, there are countless reasons he’s unfit for the job, and a sickening waste of a human being, but any sign of backing away from this disaster is a good thing, not something to criticize.

    Really? Chickened out? Are you hoping for the collapse of the entire global economy? Food shortages? Is that what having conviction looks like? This is the first even slightly hopeful sign I’ve seen in this whole shit show. A better title would be ‘Trump finally tries to pull back from armageddon’
