friday firesmith – the end of trump

Trump’s demand of “unconditional surrender” will bury him. The Iranians were negotiating in good faith up until the day Trump declared war. No one in Tehran thought it would come to war, because they agreed to stop enriching uranium, and agreed to oversight. Trump attacked them the next day.

What Trump doesn’t realize is that by blindsiding the Iranians he precludes the possibility of surrender. He’s eliminated any goodwill from allies in Europe. Trump has set the clocking ticking as to how long he can sit in the water and throw rocks at Iran while declaring the war being won.

Today is the 8th of March, 2026. In eight months the Republicans must have something to show for this war or they are going to take a beating in the midterm elections. Trump has already hinted the next war will be against Cuba, and he doesn’t have so much as a thin excuse to attack. But Trump knows if the public focuses on the Epstein files he’s going to spend some time, maybe a lot of time, in prison when the Republicans finally lose power in Congress.

None of this helps Trump in Iran.

Unlike any other opponent he might face, Iran is in it for the long haul. The Persians have fought wars for thousands of years and Trump isn’t the worst they’ve seen. He’s an American colonist as far as most Iranians are concerned and they rather die than surrender to him. At a minimum, at the very least, these are people who are not going to be bombed into submission.

The moment, the very second Trump orders ground troops into Iran, he’s screwed. He’ll have to crank up the draft in order to get enough bodies on the ground in the Middle East. The American people will fill the streets and the Republicans will face extinction.

Yet by declaring he will accept nothing but “unconditional surrender” Trump must also commit to total war. It is a war he cannot win, or even extract himself from. In the meantime, the United States is bleeding money out in billions. Israel, who has a leader who also must distract with a war, has to hope they can continue to bleed American taxpayers dry.

Yet this is some sort of end game for Trump unless he can pull off a coup. He’s already the most hated President ever. He’s already destroyed all credibility on the international level. He’s abandoned domestic policy for endless wars that will not force anyone to forget he raped children.

My deepest regret is he will likely defect to Russia, screwing America over one last time.

friday firesmith – the pedophile war

Whatever you’ve been told you’re going to get from the war with Iran, what you are actually getting is abundantly clear by this point. Gasoline prices have soared up to over three dollars a gallon and getting higher. Four bucks a gallon, or even more, is a given by the end of March.

At the end of March, we’ll see April roll around, then May, and finally Hurricane season in June.

Imagine a hurricane barreling down on New Orleans with gas already at four bucks a gallon.

With the Gulf of Mexico rigs out of production, even for a short while, we’re looking at gasoline prices somewhere around five bucks a gallon. If the war is still raging at that point, it might be considerably worse.

Higher gas prices during the spring means farmers, those who are left by this time, will pay much higher prices to plant, and to harvest, which means we’ll be paying even more for food by the middle of the summer.

By the teeth of hurricane season in September, we could be at the point farmers, those who could afford to plants, are unable to harvest. The states pounded by hurricanes could be looking at limited help from the government, and unable to pay for fuel to do search and rescue.

Hopefully, the Pedophile War, that war of distraction from a sitting president doing anything possible to distract from his crimes, will be over, but I doubt it. Trump knows he had to remain a moving target, creating one distraction after the next, regardless of what it costs the average American, or America herself.

Sadly, even if after midterm elections, even if Trump is impeached and removed from office, the forces that allowed something like this to happen are still in place. We still have a population of voters who believed everything Trump said and willingly followed him down his path of destruction and supported him at every turn.

We still have a government that doesn’t function well at all, and the two sides of the aisle in Washington are little more than bought and sold lackeys of corporate America.

We still lack the will to put a leash on campaign funds, or prosecute elected officials who are on someone else’s payroll other than the taxpayers.

House prices, food prices, fuel prices, medical care and transportation are all priced out of range for the average American, whose paychecks are getting smaller as government gets bigger, yet not better at all.

Trump is a cancer, that needs to be removed, and everyone paying attention knows this to be true. But the causes of this disease are still in place, and recurrence is 100% unless we change the way we run elections, and our schools.

The stench of Trump’s diapers might be gone when he goes, but we’ll be dealing with the same sh!t until we come together for real change.

Take Care,

Mike

Friday Firesmith – the invasion of greenland

(trigger warning for those overly sensitive readers ~ admin)

If you aren’t paying attention to why Greenland is suddenly becoming a hot topic, let me remind you of a few things.

First, reading is a habit I picked up about age four. It was, and still is, the most important method of retaining information the human brain that has ever been created. Video information doesn’t have the impact of reading as far as information retention is concerned, and if you have a camera and half a brain you can make a video.

Second, Greenland is the cork in the bottle, the stopper that seals Europe’s northwestern borders from Russian aggression. We, the Unites States, help operate, maintain, and use extensively, the passive sonar systems that cover vast stretches of icy ocean waters in that part of the world. We, the United States and NATO, keep the Russian submarine fleet under near constant surveillance and we know where nearly every Russian missile submarine is at all times.

Russian missile submarines carry nuclear warheads that target American cities and military installations.

We, the Unites States of America, are one stupid decision by an aging and slightly coherent orange painted elderly narcissistic felon away from losing this protection from the Russians, forever.

If you are stupid enough to think we shouldn’t try to defend against nuclear weapons that are targeting our nation simply stop reading this right now, because you are not intelligent enough to understand the threat. If your loyalty to a president is greater than your love of America, and you are fine with a nuclear arsenal aimed at your children, then leave now.

We can’t get that system of protection back once we lose it. The moment we declare war on Greenland we lose the faith and trust of our NATO allies. We can’t elect anyone who will be able to go to Europe and tell them it was all a mistake, and the Good America is back.

Europe will respond to all things American as an existential threat, as well they should. All trade treaties and immigration will halt.

Every military installation in Europe will be seized, or worse, will surrender to European forces.

If you think the American military will blindly allow American security in the northern Atlantic to be totally destroyed by the whims of a man who wears a diaper and cannot speak coherently on his best days, you are deluded.

We, the United States of America, have voted into office the one person on this planet that could create the conditions for a military coup.

Men who have spent their entire lives hand in hand with our European Allies to protect this nation are not going to sit idle while the best military alliance in human history is destroyed. They shouldn’t. They should do what they have to do to keep this nation safe, as our military has always done.

You want to know who I trust? I trust the collective of humanity who believes that the unity of free nations is more important than the personal ambitions of two elderly white men who are going to be tried for crimes as soon as they leave office.

If you do not believe this, if the wall falls down, and we discover that isolationism is suicide, I hope your bunker is deep enough to stop a nuke. I hope it’s deep enough to be the final resting place for Democracy, and the dream that the Constitution offered humankind as a guide of governance.  Across the world, people are holding their breath, waiting, wondering, and asking, “Where are the Americans?”

Where are we?

Take Care,

Mike
