Yesterday I said the port facilities would go up in flames. Trump pushed, messed with Kharg Island and Trump was sent a message for it.

Iran hits key UAE oil port and Dubai airport

The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) biggest port and oil storage facility, Fujairah, and Dubai's international airport have come under further drone attacks as Iran continues to target Gulf transport and oil infrastructure.

Total failure. Iran can hold the whole world hostage and there is nothing Trump can do about it except take his lumps.

The honorable thing to do would be for Trump to go Japanese.

The Islamic Republic has targeted vital US military infrastructure bases in Persian Gulf nations, the worst hit being Bahrain. Simultaneously, the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has revived the predominantly Shia island’s 2011 revolutionary fervor.

Everybody is lining up to make a deal with Trump.

Chris Hedges: Israel’s Assassination of Memory

As Israel ticks off its list of Nazi-like atrocities against the Palestinians, including mass starvation, it prepares for yet another – the demolition of Gaza City, one of the oldest cities on Earth. Heavy engineering equipment and gigantic armored bulldozers are tearing down hundreds of heavily damaged buildings. Cement trucks are churning out concrete to fill tunnels. Israeli tanks and fighter jets pummel neighborhoods to drive Palestinians who remain in the ruins of the city to the south.

OK, how about "Military Clusterfuck"?

What we have is a modern siege. Once upon a time when a warlike state invaded another nation for plunder and raw materials they could only stay for a period of time dictated by the agricultural cycle. In ancient times the majority of soldiers were peasant farmers. An army that stayed afield too long risked total collapse of the food supply at home. The harvest and sowing seasons could not be ignored.

This relates, if the shutdown lasts into April the economic hit will shift from short term shock to systemic collapse. Oil is the lifeblood of modernity.

It is a war for sure. All Iran has to do is wait for Trump to be ripped apart by his own people since Trump is not man enough to go Japanese. There is no way Trump can spin his murderous blunder into a win. This is Trump's Waterloo.
