Hillbilly wisdom: The nations of the world do not exist in isolation. The problem between nations arise in areas of competition. Each nation looks to better their position. Unfortunately, competition limits cooperation and leads to distrust and dishonesty in dealing with one another. National interest are sometimes set aside for personal advancement. National interest in the United States has been redefined as the stock market is up.

The Iran war was not an accident but it was avoidable. How many Iran conflicts do you think the United States will have this year? The war is over. Is over. Is over. If the president keeps the encounters under 60 days, congress is avoidable. A week long or even a three day war and then a couple of days off. Repeat this on-off cycle throughout the year and the president could stop over twenty wars before election day. A feather in anybody’s hat. Looking for that Noble Peace Prize. Nobody can do it like the United States under President Trump. Tax and Spend has become tariffs and war. War benefits a select few.

In the United States less than 10% of the population has a net worth in excess of a million dollars. Compare this to a cross section of the members of the house and senate. Members are required to file annual financial disclosure statements which show around 45% for the house and about 73% for the senate. This is outstanding. As Americans we have some every smart people presenting our interest. And America has an national debt in excess of 39 trillion. OOPS.
