Remaining sane in an increasingly insane world, By Owei Lakemfa

So, ordinarily, the US should have been elated that a breakthrough was being reached to re-open Hormuz, reduce oil prices and wars. But President Donald Trump was furious at the Oman–Iran breakthrough. He threatened to annihilate its ally. He declared: “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them.” Beyond being angry at the breakthrough where the US has failed in the last six months to reopen Hormuz, I can only attribute the threat to a streak of insanity that has been visible since the return of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) regime in Washington.
