I'm guessing that Unca Donald, his family and minions have progressed their personal wealth considerably on some of the flip flop policy decisions...not just on the 'war'.
The people of France have a solution for abusers like that, and they have enacted it more than once! :o
I believe that was Madam la Guillotine. Somehow it didn't have quite the effect they were looking for.
Live Long and Prosper!

You have to have a neck to be guillotined. :D

The Saint Pierre series on the ABC features a guillotine.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a French collectivity off the coast of Newfoundland and the final remnant of New France under French rule.

Let’s hope Taco doesn’t learn of it or he may add it to his territorial expansion plans.  Although taking on France would be a different kettle of worms to Denmark.

Of course, Taco has his hands full after going to war with Iran - without an exit strategy, clear objectives or appreciation of the consequences. Perhaps he was sound asleep during that part of the briefing, as he was during the NATO meeting 🙄

Not just Trump, seems his staff dont want to miss out either, must be handy knowing he is going to make announcements that will swing markets a certain way and you cant lose...

Ironically, a lot(most probably) of this comes at the expense of the US tax payer, they seem to be missing the fact the USA is going to pay for this war eventually, at least in the short term. If the Maga Nutters read this statement they probably think my use of the term pay refers to paying for the military, that's how stupid they are! They are going to pay for the rebuild, not Iran, not Israel, certainly not NATO!

As I wrote earlier, they all have to pay Iran to rebuild, and I bet a bunch of Trump, Bibi or stooge connected companies get the contracts! ;) The bill was estimated at US$1000 per US man, woman or child, that was weeks ago and it goes up by the day!

There's also the astronomical cost of sophisticated munitions - US PAC-3 interceptors cost USD3.7M each and they're being used to counter Shahed drones that cost Iran around USD50K.

It's estimated that it will take until 2030 before the US has replenished its pre-war munitions inventory ... and that affects all nations that rely on the US for sophisticated weaponry.  At least our government is progressing local manufacture of high tech missiles and cheaper anti-drone systems but we're still too reliant on the US.

Ukraine who are the drone experts offered Trump cheap drones as well as trained operators to teach how to use them effectively but Trump refused because he said the mighty USA were the leaders in Drone technology and didnt want to feel obligated to help Zelensky back and its costing the US every day and well into the future....

Wasn't it the case that it later surfaced the mighty USA was already buying some of it's kit off the Ukraine anyway?

PS; The Ukraine are now considered global leaders in drone technology, much of it was originally donated to them by Australia! ;)

The cardboard drones that Ukraine is using to great effect are made by SYPAQ in Melbourne.  I don't know who supplies the cardboard but it could well be Visy.

SYPAQ originally designed the cardboard drones as logistics carriers for the ADF but their offensive capabilities became obvious with the drone impact in the Ukraine war.
