Being a mad man is a lucrative venture these days. Trump has definitely benefited from it, with everyone walking on eggshells around him hoping not to trigger him into punching some nuclear codes into some briefcase.
But before he was mad man numero uno,the Ayatollahs owned that patch of real estate. So what happens when two mad men meet? They will either compete to find out who is madder (sp) or hopefully,who is more sane.
It started last week, Trump threatened to drive Iran oil exports to zero, Iranians said fine! we will shut down the strait of Hormuz, nobody will ship oil through it then. Trump sent the 21st century equivalent of target practice aka aircraft carrier. Now we hear this;
Two Saudi oil tankers, Norwegian ship apparently attacked near the Persian Gulf amid rising Iran tensions

My take:
1)The Iranians called Trump’s bluff, made moves to show they mean business,they can shut down trade in the gulf, hoping Trump will back down. Of course it helps that they have plausible deniability.
2) This is the work of evil neocon Bolton, trying to push Trump into war
Either way,it is a catch 22 situation with no winner. Just watch how Putin will come to the rescue last minute with a deal that allows everyone to save face.
We mad men will conquer the world soon.
weren’t you having second thoughts on being mad? and asking to be known as Le Philosopher?
