Iran has been chanting “Death to America!,” since 1979, when the people of Iran deposed the dictator we installed back in 1953.

Our illicit and sometimes outright illegal activities, not to mention the bombings and economic sanctions, have not led to peace. Now we’re in a full fledged war with a country incapable of doing much stronger than chanting at us.

Until now.

Trump had blustered and blundered his way into a war he cannot extract himself from and cannot claim victory and walk away. A man who bone spurred Vietnam five times has created a new endless war he cannot get out of, and each day he stays in things get much worse for both Trump and America.

Iran has a legitimate opportunity of doing real damage to the Unites States of America, and they’re getting plenty of help. By lifting sanctions on Iran, while he’s bombing the same country, Trump has assured the world Iran’s economy is booming. Whatever damage we can inflict, Iran will have the money to pay for.

Infinitely worse, Russia’s futures have likewise brightened. Russian oil is flowing again, with buyers in the Pacific ignoring Trump’s admonishments not to buy. Russia can now fully fund their destruction of Ukraine thanks to Trump.

China and Russia can now both send intel to Iran as to where to hit the Americans, how to hit them, and maybe even pay them to strike American positions throughout the Middle East.

Suddenly, Trump decided to call up the Marines.

If there is anything more asinine than a war in the Middle East, it’s a ground war in the Middle East. Recruitment numbers were already crashing and now very real possibility of a bloodbath, with American blood flowing, looms large.

Once we establish any sort of infrastructure anywhere close to Iran, it’s going to make the previous Gulf Wars look like Disney. Bereft of allies willing to join in the stupidity, Marines and the American Army will be sitting ducks for any armed group in the Middle East who has a grievance against America, or Israel.

In the meantime, Israel is burning through billions of American dollars bombing people anywhere they think someone might die. By targeting oil fields and energy infrastructure, it’s only a matter of time before oil prices reach a point Americans are walking to work, if they can find a job.

How will this affect Trump and his family? Not at all. They’ve grifted their way through this war as if it were money for the taking. Qatar gave Trump a billion dollar plane and in return he allowed them a base in America. We have no idea what’s other deals he’s making or with who or for how much, but we do know Congress doesn’t have the balls to do anything about it.

As long as the Epstein files keep pinging the headlines, Trump will cause wars. It’s his way of distracting the county from the idea he ought to be serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Are we great again yet?

Take Care,
Mike
