Trump has gifted Iranian Theocracy legitimacy! He has no option other than to surrender
Donald Trump’s war with Iran is spiralling in cost and consequence, with estimates hitting $25 billion and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatening the global economy — raising serious questions about how this conflict ends, and who it ultimately empowers.
Pete Hegseth denies Iran war is a ‘quagmire’ as cost to US hits estimated $25 billion
As his defence secretary testified before House committee, Trump posted AI-generated image of himself with a weapon and a caption saying ‘NO MORE MR. NICE GUY’
The real cost of Trump’s Iran war
$25 BILLION!!!!
That’s how much this insane illegal war has cost so far?!?
He wants to lift total military spending to $1.5 trillion per year and Trump is asking the intelligence community what would Iran do if he just declares victory and leaves, that’s how desperate he now is to get out of an illegal war he started!
US intelligence is reportedly feeling out an exit from war

Benjamin Netanyahu has been screaming Iran was about to build a nuclear bomb and that we all needed to attack Iran since 1992!!!!!
In those 40 years, no American administration was fucking dumb enough to get conned into a war with Iran because every time the US military goons and CIA geeks war game an attack on Iran out, it ends up being a lose, lose, lose situation.
Then along came Trump.
He was so falsely pumped up by his illegal kidnapping of Maduro and seizing of their oil, that he thought he could pull the same stunt on Iran.
Iran is not a corrupt front revolutionary mafia. They are a theocracy who welcome death.
Iran’s only red line was ‘don’t kill our holy man’.
On the opening moves of the war, right after they bombed that Iranian school and killed 165 school girls, right after that, they killed the Ayatollah and his negotiating team who were meeting to discuss the last round of talks with America.
We killed the new Ayatollah’s wife, son, dad, brother and we maimed him horribly, but what the Iranians learned was that shutting down the Strait was a greater weapon than a nuclear bomb and all their army and navy put together because the only way to force war criminals like Netanyahu and Trump to back down is by damaging the one thing they are both servants to, rich people.
How war with Iran could strengthen the regime
The global shock to the economy this illegal war has created allows the Iranian regime a once in a lifetime opportunity for legitimacy in the eyes of the Iranian people.
If Iran can negotiate reparations to rebuild all that America and Israel have damaged alongside the lifting of the crippling economic sanctions, then the regime will gain legitimacy in the eyes of the Iranian people they repress!
Let that sink in.
Trump has fucked up so enormously that he has gifted the Theocracy legitimacy in the eyes of the people they repress!!!!
That is a staggering clusterf**k.
Trump’s options are narrowing fast: back down, or escalate this into something far more dangerous than he can manage.
How crazy is he?
Remember, the New Zealand Government have refused point blank to criticise Trump or Israel, indeed we find out today that our gutless coward of a Prime Minister actually wanted to side with Trump and Israel!

Whoops apologies s/be braggart!
Trump, the gift that keeps on giving! This lying, narcissistic, bullying bragged deserves all that is coming to him. How many homeless, starving Americans could his $25bn have helped? Trump also needs to choose his ‘friends’ and ‘enemies’ more carefully, but I doubt he is capable of that. He’s past redemption. He has more than met his match this time! Our struggling Luxon could also learn from this fiasco. He simple-mindedly played ‘follow the leader’. He keeps dropping down self made holes but never seems to learn. He can’t comprehend he is PM of a small, insignificant country, not a main world player. Of course the morons out there will continue to vote for him because they are of a similar ilk!
