Trump pivots from "destroying Iranian civilization" to complete surrender in one day

 Trump pivots from "destroying Iranian civilization" to complete surrender in one day

 

Even a mentally degraded Donald Trump had to face reality. The US lost the war intended to destroy Iran as a hegemonic rival to Israel in the region.

 

He cancelled his announced war crimes to “destroy Iranian civilization” and agreed to a two week ceasefire as a prelude for negotiating permanent peace based on Iran’s 10 point peace plan. Note that is not Trump’s 15 point peace plan which would have given Trump complete victory.

 

Here’s some of what Trump’s ceasefire acknowledges.

 

A guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again.

 

A permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire.

 

An end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon and against Iranian allies.

 

The lifting of all US sanctions on Iran.

 

Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

 

US to leave the Middle East

 

End to US sanctions on Iran and release of frozen Iranian assets

 

In his delusional state, Trump announced the cease fire due to his astonishing claim his “war has already met and all Military objectives, and we are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning long term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

 

Iran announced the ceasefire “does not signify the termination of the war. Our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force,”

 

Major hurtles must be overcome before the ceasefire holds and genuine peace can be negotiated. Israel is horrified by this development upending their 4 decade lust to destroy its Iranian hegemonic rival. It’s reported they are still bombing Iran and Iran is retaliating. No keen observer is optimistic the ceasefire will hold.

 

But it is not likely the US, clearly defeated in every make up war aim they floated to justify criminal war that killed thousands, damaged every US base in the region, brought the worst damage to Israel in its 78 years, and is crushing the world economy, can ever restart this deranged madness.

 

But with Trump in charge…you can never say never.
