French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.

    Trump is trying to bait them in for ww3. He doesn’t benefit in any way from being humiliated. He needs WW3 so he can try to remain in power. Without power, hell spend the rest of his days in a cell.

      Honestly I doubt that Democrats would move for prosecution. This is the party of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. There’s no way they want consequences for a member of their own class.

      Now, if Trump were a leftist and breaking norms to the benefit of the working class, he’d already be executed.

      What are basing that on, if Trump were removed tomorrow, who would be president, how do you see that playing out in your head? We’ll put in the side that refused to punish him and he is wealthy now due to raiding documents, he’ll unfortunately be fine at best he’ll been in cushy rich person jail, worst he’ll become a dictator.
