What are you going to do??
Trump Admin:
We took out the Iranian top govt people.
We took out the Iranian navy.
We took out the Iranian air force.
And we can do some deep missile strikes.
Umm yeah, but so what?
There’s still going to be a global energy crisis about to hit in a matter of weeks that’s going to very seriously adversely affect all the world's economies.
Trump Admin:
Well, we can sustain this fight for as long as needed and will bomb the Iranian people into submission.
But history shows that that tactic has never worked to cause regime change and only brings people closer together.
All Iran needs is a good supply of missiles to stop any traffic going through the straits and it would seem most likely that Iran has plenty enough to last for years.
Reminder that Ukraine lost its navy and air force and has been under constant missile attacks for 4 years and is still capable of launching missiles back at Russia.
The US is trying to do to Iran what the Russians are trying to do to Ukraine but without the 600,000 troops on the ground, and be all done and dusted within just a couple of weeks.
It really is just not going to happen.
How long will the US want to continue with oil at $200 a barrel?
$200 a barrel oil will destroy India and most of the 2nd and 3rd world as well as the western world.
Russia and China will ride it out, Russia for obvious reasons and China which has nuclear and coal power stations as well as Russian oil and gas via pipelines and the northern/west Pacific sea route.
Surely it must only be a matter of time before Trump does what he did against the Houthies, pack up and run away. What else can he do? Send 600,000 troops and spend 4 years trying to achieve regime change?
But there is still going to be a global energy crisis about to hit in a matter of weeks that’s going to very seriously adversely affect all the world’s economies.
Meanwhile, the EU has decided that in light of the coming oil and gas global crisis buying oil and gas from Russia is not such a bad idea after all and are looking to apply pressure on Zelensky to reopen the pipelines as Hungary and Slovakia have been demanding.
And the US is now talking of withdrawing sanctions from Russian oil companies in view of the coming crisis (that they caused).
The Trump admin is still all gung-ho but Trump is in real trouble here, having declared himself above international law and above US congressional law he has taken the country into a war that, unlike Venezuela, is not going to end quickly or well, and is going to be very, very expensive if he doesn’t back out now.
Trump’s first step as a dictator has been to walk straight into a trap that could see him impeached and out of office long before his 4 year term ends.
How was he led into this trap?
Because as Rubio said, the US had to defend itself by attacking Iran first, because err, Israel was going to attack Iran before … err, the US did.
So you see it all makes perfect sense.
