Trump either surrenders or nukes entire coastline of Iran
Look.
Here are Trump’s options.
There are only 2.
OPTION 1: He gets down on his knees and begs to a Theocracy for surrender. He agrees to whatever compensation program they want for all the damage he and Israel have caused them in this illegal war. He agrees to lifting all economic sanctions and he has to agree to Iranian control over the Strait.
OPTION 2: He nukes the entire Iranian Coastline.
So how crazy is Trump?
For the Iranian regime, Trump’s insane blunder into the worst geopolitical mistake since Vietnam has handed them a once in a generation lifeline. If they can force Trump to repay compensation, release all their with held funds, lift economic sanctions AND hold onto the Strait, they can rebuild legitimacy in the eyes of their own people and actually end up stringer AND legitimate!
Hell, the weaponisation of the Strait is such an enormous win for them, they might actually agree to hand over all their Uranium to the Americans, because as a deterrent it’s meaningless in comparison to the reality of holding the Strait!
Trump has fucked up so majorly because he’s listening to morons like Pete Hegseth over actual Military strategic advisors.
The same Pete Hegseth who recently quoted the fake biblical verse from Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer meeting this month!
The reason no American Administration has been dumb enough to get conned into Netanyahu’s disastrous Iran adventure is because every time the CIA Geeks and Military Goons war-game an Iranian invasion out, it’s a lose-lose-lose situation.
There is no military solution to this cluster fuck, only diplomacy.
Our Government run NZ still hasn’t criticised America or Israel for this madness yet.
Remember that as you fill up at the pump this ANZAC Weekend.
We have to also calculate what will israel do. I think they will do what they do best, destroy vital infrastructure and kill women and children. At some time they will resume their missile attacks and cause damage that will take generations to repair.
Trump lives in his own reality. At any time he can declare final and absolute victory (again). He has plenty of ass lickers who will support him. He can even walk away from the open/closed Strait of Hormuz, saying America doesnt use it, let Europe fix it.
However I think you are right and he is itching to use a nuke, but might settle for carpet bombing Irans oil industry
Trump is as mad as a hatter – we all recognise that now and those who don’t are likely to stay down their rabbit holes. He simply can’t shut his mouth so has backed himself into a corner he can’t get out of. HE HAS TO GO and the sooner the better! Come on USA you must have a plan or are you going to continue to watch him wreak havoc on our already troubled world as Hitler did? And NZ PM/govt, grow some B&lls, stand up for NZ and condemn the USA for lighting the fuse on this powder keg. Time Trump acted like a real man and stopped his pathetic “clown show”. At present most of us despise him – he’s like a runaway train!
