Trump’s unhinged Epic Tantrum announcement – we are in terrible danger
We are so screwed.
Thatβs the blunt reality behind the latest escalation in Trumpβs war with Iran. Weβre already seeing the early signs of what that means economically β as outlined in our breakdown of Week 5 of Trumpβs illegal war and the looming fuel crisis. This isnβt just another geopolitical flare-up β itβs the kind of miscalculation that sends oil prices soaring, supply chains breaking, and conflicts spiralling beyond anyoneβs control.
A war built on delusion
For a man standing on the chasm of defeat, his bizarre confidence that he’s somehow winning this illegal war with Iran is as concerning as it is delusional.
He killed an aging Ayatollah and replaced him with a much young far more radical one and they have shut down a choke point that is crippling the global economy.
And he thinks he’s winning?!?
The gap between his fantasy and the hit to your wallet couldnβt be wider. And that economic pain is already starting to show up politically, with National plunging in the latest Roy Morgan poll.
Netanyahu has been selling the invasion of Iran for building a nuclear weapons since 1992!
Trump has blundered into a war that no American Administration was stupid enough to embark upon and by all tellings Trump did so without understanding what Iran would do.
Their only red line was ‘don’t kill our holy man’ and America and Israel’s opening move (after blowing up all those school girls) was to assassinate their holy man.
There’s a reason no American Administration was dumb enough to attack Iran because everytime they war game it out, it becomes an un-winnable quagmire.
The very un-winnable quagmire we have now.
What happens when the oil stops flowing
Iran will not open the Strait, the Houthis will limit the Bab al-Mandab Strait and energy supply shut down will see a Barrel of oil hit $200+. And as always, crises like this donβt just create shortages β they create opportunities for policy shifts, as seen in ACTβs push to strip back regulation during the fuel crisis.
Trump knows that if he doesn’t make some major symbolic move now and attempt to overwhelm Iran into some agreement, then he risks that point when America and Israel run out of Interceptor Missiles while Iran still has 30,000 drones.
This is the greatest geopolitical blunder since Vietnam. And like Vietnam, itβs the exit that will define it.
How did it end?
Like this…
…if you are not deeply concerned by all of this, you are not paying attention.
So America saved the Rest of the World in WW1 and 2.
Will the Rest of the World now be required to save America from WW3?
A number of US Presidents have had Israel pushing the US to have a go at Iran. Why would someone who campaigned on no wars, pick the worst possible endeavour to break that promise? Is Trump really that stupid or is there something motivating his decision? He was happily making loads through his corruption without all this aggravation. Heβs Munsoned himself.
About 3500 Marines and sailors reached the region over the weekend, defence officials said, and another 3500 are expected in the coming weeks. Hundreds of Special Operations Forces are already in the region.
So much for an offramp. This is going to be a clusterfck shitshow
We all agree, and for months I have been saying Trump is ‘certifiably insane’. Every day he posts more mixed and confusing rants that prove this. He needs to be put down like a rabid dog while our world still has a chance to recover. He is totally putting the West in an impossible situation so our allies need to leave him to clean up the mess he has made. Seems like he is completely STUCK right now – his problem! His ego is enormous, even bigger than our Luxon, and both can’t find an honorable way out! So his USA voters are either thick as two short planks or totally gutless! Probably both.
Hey Martin! What about that Tiger Woods story? There’s news for you!
Hey Steve β good shout! π
Pop that into Open Mic as well if you can β Martyn keeps a close eye on that thread and itβs the best place for stories like this to get picked up.
