So, top of Google News today is that Donald Trump and crew are bombing Iran again. Then there’s the whole idea of the US controlling the Strait of Hormuz and charging a 20% toll. There’s a lot to unpack, including what this means for the electric vehicle market.
First of all, I will just raise the question again: why did the US need to start bombing Iran in the first place? Funny enough, while Google AI wants to give me an answer for pretty much everything these days, even using a few different searches, it didn’t give me an answer. That struck me as funny/odd. The top result Google is giving me is actually from the American Jewish Committee (AJC), an atypical result for such a big-news matter. Funny. Well, anyway, I wrote about this in April and not much has changed since then. The excuses for why we are doing it are highly suspect, just as “weapons of mass destruction” were, and there are certainly some ulterior motives with Trump that could be a big part of the motivation. The US military did assassinate the head of the Iranian state, though, so there are various options on the table for the US to end it there, but the assassination and bombing surely have made Iranians hate the US more than ever and desire retaliation. So, where does this end? How would Americans respond if Iran assassinated Trump and bombed the country repeatedly?
