On the other hand, he is aware that Iran may already have the ultimate deterrence. The good part is that the USA has no means to know, only from speculation by outside sources. The same speculation that Iran will collapse by assassinating its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It was not to be. It was in fact a miscalculation that resulted in having the Iranians becoming more patriotic and determined. A regime change attempt is becoming a mirage.
Trump is now unable to extricate his position regarding Iran. A withdrawal is a victory for Iran. Not withdrawing is going to be an untenable situation for Trump as well. The battleground is the front yard of the Iranians. They can wait for any length of time, just like the Soviet Union decimating Hitler with exhaustion in supplies and moral decay. The longer the wait, the worse it becomes for USA boys and girls baking in the heat of their steel plated warships. Supplies have to come to them via a long way off. Even shitting on board their warships while waiting is a problem that could clog up the sewage system on board. Not a joke but a reality.
On the other hand, Iran is still manufacturing missiles deep underground. They know that the war is not over yet and are preparing for all eventualities.

I think Trump may say that the hottest weather in 132 years in USA is another hoax. The man does not believe in climate change. He can even say that hurricanes are very wet, thinking that no one else has discovered that, lol. His mind is all fixated on 'drill baby drill' and trying to control global oil and brushing aside climate change as a hoax. All the moves to control oil is to counter and cripple China's global manufacturing hub, clear and simple.
ReplyDeleteMy take, lol, is that the hot weather in USA is all because of Trump farting upstairs and downstairs with all the hot airs all the time. Add the farting of Marco Rubio, Howard Lutnik and painfully looking Scott Bessant almost in crying mode, and the hot weather condition gets even hotter.
Now Trump is boasting about having cleared the mines around the entire Strait of Hormuz. Taken in context, he is telling shipowners that all is now safe to enter the Strait. How about the mines sitting silently under the waters in the Persian Gulf itself, where the loading of oil is carried out and where all the oil tankers have to wait? Does that matter? Even if the Strait of Hormuz is cleared of mines, what about Iranian missiles also posing a threat? Would shipowners want to take the risk? Would insurers want to take the risk? So may issues to unravel, not just the mines. Again, it is to harbor the intention to lower oil prices and manipulating the stock market. It seems oil prices are rising instead of falling.
Trump now wants Iran to pay compensation for all the lives lost over many years of war. I understand that casualties of war cannot be avoided and are collateral damage, at least from the USA's point of view, unless civilians are targeted purposefully. How about Iraq asking for compensation from the USA over the millions of live lost in the illegal war based on fabricated evidence. It was an Illegal war, mind you. How about the Japanese asking for compensation for the millions killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Oh, they will not be able to do that being now a colony of the USA.
And so, good luck to all the farting.
Trump is now drilling Greenland for oil without permission. Interesting to see what Denmark, the Kingdom of the Vikings, has to say. I guess, nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhites drilling whites does not matter. Non-Whites, like China, even not involved in Greenland affairs had been accused of trying to do Greenland in and needed Trump to intervene to prevent that happening.
ReplyDeleteTrump is after the oil, not Greenland's security issue, the same modus operandi as with Venezuela and now also Iran.
