    Every day I wake up, open the news, and let out a slightly louder breath out of my nostrils at the latest boutade from Trump. Then I go out with my day because nothing he says is relevant in any way.

      Agreed with you there, and it leaves me ever more exhausted.

      Unfortunately, when the US sneezes, Europe gets hit by a tornado. Ever since this godforsaken war against Iran, gas prices were unpredictable and unsustainably high.

      It would have been one thing, had the US properly conducted the war - aka, had they prepared their allies in the region, had they asked us to join the fun, and committed ground troops. But they didn't, they caught all of us off guard, completely botched the execution, and we had to deal with the fallout.

        Sorry but the US already lost all the very thin credibility it had.
