And the strait is open.

And escorts are beginning imminently.

And our allies are cowards.

And the president doesn't think about this very much.

And Marco and Pete got us into this.

I mean technically it would be correct with Macron as he wrote (and Trump then leaked on his profile) “We can do great things on Iran” [1] And Trump move his view to Iran. The fact that Trump will start whole war with Iran probably was not what Macron expected with doing great things on Iran.

Wait, you're claiming that text message from Macron is what convinced Trump to bomb Iran?
