Your share of the Iran war cost is $3,350. Do you want to take care of that now, or add it to the national debt and pay revolving interest on it?

Despite Trump's claim that the $300 Billion settlement with Iran is fake news, everyone else says it’s real. Since Trump also claimed - at least 38 times - that America was winning, I’m going with “everyone else” on the $300 billion. (see link below).

My share (as one of America’s 100 million households) of this debacle comes to $3,350. That includes direct war costs on top of the $300 Billon to rebuild the mullahs’ arsenal. It does not include higher gasoline prices or replenishing our depleted military stockpiles

Evidently Trump is paying $300 Billion to Iran in order to reopen the strait of Hormuz. Because the USA – with a navy and air force twice as powerful as anyone else on earth – could not achieve this goal militarily. Reopening Hormuz will ensure that all the sketchy nations in the middle east can resume shipping and profiteering from oil. It means that China and India have uninterrupted oil access. And for all the NATO member nations which illegally closed their air bases to the US during the conflict. Whew - disaster averted! Our adversaries can sell and buy as much oil as they ever dreamed of. (insert irony sarcasta-bang punctuation mark here)

Elsewhere, the Iran debacle is being described as“America’s worst foreign policy blunder in decades” (see link below). Which is probably a clever way to avoid comparing Iran to the JFK/LBJ invasion of Vietnam, which lasted WAAAY longer. If there’s any silver lining to the Iran war, it’s that Trump pulled the plug after 90 days and only a dozen US lives were lost, not 50,000.

So we will be having impeachment hearings, right? If not for Trump, at least for Pete Hegseth, with his scary white supremacist tats. How about a recall vote or confirmation suspension? Wait, we’re WON'T? Actually democrats HAVE promised impeachment hearings – but only after the midterms, and only if they win. The impeachment topic of course will be “Epstein”, not war and corruption. Because democrats are every bit as demented as republicans.

America has a problem holding politicians accountable. Google “impeachment hearings after _______”, and fill in the blank with Vietnam, Korea, Invasion of Iraq, etc. If we start holding presidents accountable in 2026, it could set a bad precedent the next time someone else is in the White House, no?

Since no AMERICAN politician will ever be held accountable for Iran, can we consider this: revoke the entry visa for Israel's prime minister. To keep him from coming to America and whispering nonsense in the ear of our presidents. Expel their ambassador too? Not forever, of course. But at least long enough to let Israel know that we realize we were duped, lied to, spied on, and maneuvered into the debacle of the decade. There should be some consequences for that sort of BS among allies.

I’m just sayin’ . . .
