The question isn’t whether Trump is clueless about the war in Iran, it’s why

The most obvious explanation for Trump’s rampant falsehoods is that he’s the most prolific liar in modern American history, one who wants the public to believe his war/excursion is a great success. But as the crisis continues, it’ll be worth watching to see how many facts are kept from Trump by aides and officials who are afraid to tell their boss what he doesn’t want to hear.

40 years after 1984, George Orwell's Newspeak is in full bloom: Truth is Lies & War is Peace.

Does Pinochio Trump even know what the truth is?  Probably not, I doubt he reads the classified daily updates even if his staff drops them on his desk.  At 2AM when he  drops a Tweet down on Social Media, it's not coming from any report or meeting.  It's just what wants to be true as he squeezes another Turd out his fat ass and into the toilet to match the shit coming off his keyboard and into cyberspace.  The rest of us are swimming in a world awash with Trumpian fecal matter.  It surrounds us all in a fetid, stinking shitpile from which there is no escape.

Given this reality, what would you suggest to remedy the situation?  You have an alternative I haven't thought of?

Replace every Republicrat with a Democan at mid-terms? That would certainly allow impeachment, but more importantly enough of a swing in the Senate to convict this time.

We could be zombies by then.  And there will be thousands, perhaps millions that will certainly be turning to dust.

Clueless is as clueless does.  If Trump moves against the Kharg Island Iranian oil terminal, then all the terminals in the gulf will burn and nobody gets any oil.  For Iran it will be a smart move because there will be no occupying of Iran by American troops with the world in a global depression.

Anyone who does not know the reason for this warr was to raise oil prices is an idiot.

I had to post this article because as soon as I saw Wright's hands up.  The meme flashed in front of my eyes.

Oil companies did not start this war, but now that they have one they will raise prices.  And for them the law of gravity may not apply.  What goes up may not come down. 

Higher prices can stimulate oil business activities in Venezuela.  This is classic Trump.  When Trump fucks up he first blames other people and then repackages his defeat so that he can call it a win.  Failure rebranded.  Operation Epstein Fury mayhem solves many of Trump's troubles.  He can repackage himself.  No longer the convicted felon compulsive lying pedophile; Trump becomes the new Andrew Jackson.


Bringing with him a brand new trail of tears.

You sure about that?  Remember, right after Vz Trumpolini met with Oil CEOs and they told him they were not interested in developing it.  I could easily see one of them saying "It would be a different story of course if Iranian or Saudi Oil flow was interrupted by a war with Israel."  Then HRH Trump calls up Bibi on the hot line and suggests he deep six the Ayatollah.

You don't think that they would know all the port facilities on the south side of the gulf will go up in flames?  People with any brains have been able to figure out that hitting tankers is unnecessary if you hit Ras Tanura with a few missiles.  I can't believe I am the only one who has figured this out.  The oil execs would know the risks.  But you may have a point.  Trump's ears hear the words he wants to hear, and sometimes that does not match what was said.

[RE]

 

Yea, right.  The FSoA Navy won't go in there because it's too risky, & Trumpolini expects the Eurotrash to do it?  For a war he started and didn't so much as give them a heads-up on?  The same folks he has been dropping punitive tariffs on?

I'm getting a little tired of these military adventures being called "wars".  Wars are where people fight each other.  These things are just Bombing Campaigns.  Trumpolini wants to win a war with no casualties,  where only the other guys get killed.  Problem is, simply destroying property and killing mostly civilians doesn't win anything.  You have to actually take over the machinery of state and run the place, and that takes people.  No matter how long they bomb they can't win.  They'll flatten Tehran, but that just makes it harder for anyone to govern the country.  For the place to become a going concern again, the destroyed infrastructure will need to be rebuilt, and that will be even more expensive and time consuming than the bombing campaign.  It's ridiculous.

Pussy war?  An ethnic cleansing?  It is anything but an 'adventure', and I particularly loath 'Kinetic Response'.


A pussy started it, that is for fucking sure.

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.

 
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.









 

Everybody is lining up to make a deal with Trump.

RE

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.
