As long as Iran keeps control of Hormuz, the US Empire’s
Last War will go from “shock and awe” to “shocking and awful.”
It is a spectacle to witness the complete mental meltdown of the “leader” of the “free world” and the world’s “sole” superpower.
Barely three weeks after his breathless claim of victory, Trump has gone total bananas beyond his usual incoherent self.
One wonders whether it is the fog of war that’s corroding his brain or Trump simply never has any idea what he is talking about –
- A week ago, Trump claimed the war is “very complete, pretty much”. At the same time, he is sending Marine expeditionary forces from Japan and California to the Gulf, ostensibly for ground invasion.
- On Friday he said that he wasn’t sending ground troops to Iran, but added: “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you”.
- Trump announced Iranian air defense is “100% obliterated” in the first week of the war, but a F-35 – the crown jewel of US air power – was shot down 2 days ago.
- He claimed repeatedly the Iranian military is “gone” and “completely wiped out”, but drones and missiles are still striking targets in Israel and the Gulf region.
As of yesterday, targets have extended as far as the joint US-UK base in Diego Garcia in the Indian ocean. - Trump also said opening the Strait of Hormuz is a “simple manoeuvre”, but refuses to send US warships to ensure safe passage.
He asked for others to help but vassals such as UK, France, Germany, Australia, and Japan all said no. Interestingly, Trump never asked Israel to send ships to open Hormuz. I guess he knows who is boss in that relationship.
