No, because Iran will not be the last.

First it was Iran, yesterday Turkey.... Trump will continue to throw his weight around and threaten those needy friends that don't join his cause. Basic playground tactics.

Don't join an idiot by thinking like him. Bullies are forgotten through isolation. Through protectionism he'll do the job for us.

I can read the telegraph article, it’s behind a paywall. Anyone got a link to the original interview that’s free.

Bullies only understand bullying. In many ways it could be a silver bullet for the UK. Strengthen the relationship with our EU allies that the tories habe managed to sour of recent and stand together. The US would not be expecting that. Indeed, when the market realise the EU does not standby the US, turmoil in the USA will ensue.
