Trump: "Open the Strait yourselves!"

Europe: "k"

Trump: "No, not like that"

Exactly, the Hormuz Strait is already open... to people who aren't beligerants like the US.

Good, all of Europe needs to tell Trump and the US to fuck off.

Ugh I predict another wave of idiots yelling "Freedom Fries"

but then again, it was fun back then triggering the conservatives by merely calling them french fries. lol

sometimes you got to look at life's silver linings to keep your sanity going. lol

Never thought of it that way!

Can "Iran fries" be a thing?

Or maybe since fries is already taken, we can rename "chili" to "Irani stew"?

First off, that would be awesome. I stupidly never saved any of my old freedom fries receipts, and I've always regretted that.

Unfortunately for me, our societies relationship with our political system is so radically different from the early 2000s, that I don't think that specific type of cultural short circuit is possible.

No one can wrap (late but somehow still early) opportunism in a rousing speech like macron
