Trump Changes Foreign Policy Like Buses at Tosele Stop — Every Five Minutes and Pointlessly

Donald Trump has once again proven he can change his mind faster than Liepāja residents change buses at the Tosele stop — one day demanding NATO help, the next calling them idiots. This time the American president has gotten so deeply entangled in the Middle East conflict that even navigating a Kurzeme swamp would be easier.

Iranian missiles have been flying through the Strait of Hormuz like New Year's fireworks through downtown Liepāja, only with less joy and more explosions. Trump is now demanding NATO help escort tankers, as it turns out the mighty US can't protect ships from a few Iranian rockets on its own. "We can send people to the Moon, but we can't protect a ship from the Iranians," comments local analyst Gunārs from Grobiņa.

Meanwhile, Putin sits in Moscow counting money like Scrooge McDuck — oil prices rising, rubles flowing, and he doesn't even send a single tank. "The best war strategy is to let enemies fight among themselves," he thinks while clinking his whiskey and watching the West dig its own holes.

Europe, meanwhile, continues demonstrating unity like Liepāja's city council trying to agree on a snow removal budget — Orbán blocks sanctions, everyone grumbles, but nobody can do anything. Hungary's prime minister behaves like that one bus driver who stops at every sign to check his phone while passengers are late for work.
