Just look at the people that were lying about the whole world rushing to kiss Trump's arsehole when he first trotted out his tariffs. That lunatic and psychotic Commerce Secretary had been spinning lies, in an echo-chamber, about the boast by Trump that 200 countries were lining up to kiss his boss' arsehole. Did that happen? Not by a long shot.
Then we have that supposedly great successful former hedge fund operator, who lost almost all his US$5 billion hedge fund startup money, Scott Bessent, lying about how China will be forced to go to Washington to kiss Trump's arsehole just because China sells more to the USA instead of the other way round.
Now, let us replay the tape and find out who is asking to kiss whose arsehole when Xi does not even relish meeting Trump and only met him on the sidelines of the G20 in Busan, nothing even intentional by Xi to see his face. Was there even an attempt to kiss Trump's arsehole? Was there even a fictitious deal conjured up by Trump? Nothing, just speculation and showboating.
The USA is not called the 'Empire of Lies' for nothing. USA leaders do not understand the meaning of fantasy versus reality. They only live in a fantasy world, thinking that other countries must obey its demands to do what it wants them to do. Big guns do not make countries bend over backwards today, after they saw how the USA met failures in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Big guns no longer dictate to the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah, entities which are not even representing countries but just representing ideologies. Even those ideologies are a handful for the USA to deal with and are no pushover using top end fighter jets and bombs.

Trump and Netanyahu have to find a way to get rid of weapons support for the Houthis by Iran in order to clear the way for navigation around the Red Sea and Persian Gulf to normalize. Hyping up the nuclear threat should Iran be allowed to get the bomb is just killing two birds with one stone.
Netanyahu will have to attack Iran in tandem with the USA, now buying more jets from the USA to do the job, whether deliverable now or not. The recent visit indicates an attack on Iran is imminent. How many Israeli jets have been destroyed during the last attack by Iran is kept very secretive, but the recent weapons shopping spree indicates the need to beef up Israel's air power.
In the face of Iran acquiring Chinese weapons, the next attack is pivotal. Iran is capable to retaliate and the much hyped-up 'Iron Dome' is no more invincible.
Regarding the Houthis issue, bombing does not help, just like carpet bombing in most scenarios, while boots on the ground in Yemen is suicidal. The USA is terrified of guerilla warfare after Vietnam. The USA can broadcast which Houthi or Hamas leader they killed, but others keep rising from the ranks. So, Iran must be stopped from supplying weapons to the Houthis. In the past, Iran was supplying weapons to the Houthis to fight the Saudis, but since the peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia, somehow the Middle East cannot be allowed to be at peace.
Again, Trump is gloating about the peace deal in Ukraine being so close that he probably does not need 24 hours anymore. Just listen to the echo inside the echo chamber bouncing back and forth since day one.
The fictitious Iron Dome is now like Iron Doom. It is no better than a spider web with holes everywhere.
Wait for the Iranians to shoot down a few F35s or B2s. And wait for the Iranian missile rain into Israel, this time with more power and force. Blow up the American bases in Qatar and other Arab states. Iran can hit back, not sitting there to be hit.
What is even more problematic for Israel is the lack of defensive patriot missiles, indicated by the diversion or transfer of 20,000 of such missiles to Israel during the conflict with Iran in June 2025. Ukraine needed them as much as Israel, so why the transfer and not just producing more for both.
Now the production of those missiles also needed rare earth magnets and China was supplying them before. What is the situation now, with China strangling the USA military establishment with rare earth sanctions? Can they make more missiles now than before to support two wars, with more to be added.
