China and Russia will not let this demented plan work.

In Iran, the US-Israeli axis is seeking to replicate the campaign of protracted state destruction it initiated in Syria in 2012, but in accelerated fashion.Israel recognizes regime change is impossible at this juncture, so it's working to obliterate the industrial and knowledge base that enabled Iran to survive under sanctions.Its military-intelligence apparatus hopes that in a year or so, Iran will have become so impoverished, and so unable to provide for its growing population, that masses of Iranians will riot, or an armed insurgency will erupt inside the country which it can exploit, as the West did in Syria.Because Trump has no strategy, the US military now functions as Israel's proxy, bombing medical institutes, desalination plants, infrastructure, oil depots, steel factories, and entire city blocks "back to the stone age."The US campaign in Iran is a frightening realization of the longstanding, bipartisan policy of financial terrorism that has seen Washington place over 1/3 of the world's population under sanctions, forcing hundreds of millions of people from middle class status into poverty, hollowing out once vibrant communities, shattering families and producing endless waves of migration.The plague the US-Israeli axis is attempting to impose on Iran, and the attendant global economic collapse that follows, will be the defining chapter in the history of post-war American power. If Iran retains its sovereignty, that chapter will be a final one – and a relief for the global majority.

So, let me get this straight.Trump is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and doesn't need help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims he already destroyed last year.And he is trying to liberate the Iranian people while at the same time send them back to the stone age And he regime change was necessary to save the Iranians. But he's not after regime change. Not to mention, all the Strait of Hormuz...And even though he says the current President is 'less radical'And he destroyed the nuclear program that was were never there according to 18 US intelligence agencies.And all meanwhile he is master of negotiation and it is all Obama's fault.

If Trump cannot exorcise the Zionist demons out of the White House and his cabinet, then he is forever compromised and lost. You can't make America great again if you're 100% controlled by a foreign entity that literally wants to burn down the entire world to unleash a satanic End Times apocalypse. So far, Trump has been an obedient puppet of Netanyahu. There is zero evidence this is going to change, unfortunate

After the failure of decapitation, there has been one theory of victory: if you win the interdiction war, you disarm Iran and dictate the political outcome. Once it became clear that even a successful interdiction campaign would be prohibitively costly, they started looking to wrap this up. But walking away and leaving Iran in control of Hormuz and therefore the Gulf is not just an obvious and humiliating retreat. It means that Iran would be the world’s oil hegemon — a power with a veto over access to gulf energy, ‘a stupendous source of strategic power’, as Acheson accurately described it. And soon this power will have nuclear-armed ICBMs. So the pressure is on to pull a rabbit out of the hat and ‘finish the job.’ But there are no rabbits in the hat. The diplomatic alternative — of a rapprochement with Iran — is difficult for the Western mind to accept, having not lost a war against an Oriental power in generations. And so we wait until the economic and political costs exceed his tolerance for the final capitulation where the US surrenders the Gulf to its three great power rivals.

Trump’s war on Iran is like when Wile E. Coyote has run off a ledge but hasn’t looked down yet.The Iran war is a strategic failure — it cannot accomplish its objectives at acceptable cost.The U.S. theory of victory was based on the faulty premise that leadership decapitation would compel Iran to surrender within days — perhaps before U.S. markets opened that Monday and before oil traders noticed.When the Supreme Leader’s death didn’t compel Iran to surrender is the moment that Trump like Wile E. Coyote went off the cliff. But he’s still running — the war is still ongoing — because Trump refuses to look down.Trump now has the choice: accept reality by ending the war (looking down), or keep running midair past the cliff, ensuring that the inevitable fall will be farther and thus harder.It’s very unlikely Trump can escalate the U.S. out of this disaster, because there’s no silver bullet military objective that will compel Iran to stop fighting — not Kharg, not Larak, not a Mission Impossible-style raid to grab Iran’s HEU. Those would be costly to the U.S. in terms of casualties but not change the overarching strategic situation.Iran is fighting an existential conflict, which means it’s highly resolved despite suffering costs, whereas the U.S. isn’t. Iran can hold oil hostage to hurt the U.S. economy and use guerrilla tactics like cheap drones to impose continuous pain on U.S. forces. The U.S. can’t militarily hunt down and destroy every drone in Iran — it’s impossible.Whenever Trump looks down, it’s going to hurt. But far better he do it sooner than later — and thus mitigate the losses in blood and treasure this foolish war has wrought.
 
Hezbollah is back with a vengeance blowing up IGF tanks and tank operators. The IGF is good at dropping bomb on women and children but don't fare too well when going up against men with guns.
