Trump’s ‘Epic Fury’ has morphed into ‘Epic Flop’

 Trump’s ‘Epic Fury’ has morphed into ‘Epic Flop’

It’s impossible to unpack the deranged logic of Donald J. Trump. He launched his criminal war on Iran with criminal Israeli war buddy Benjamin Netanyahu on February 28. Netanyahu promised quick victory within 100 hours based on assassinating Iranian leader Ali Khomeini.

A thousand hours later, after Iran inflicted tremendous damage to all 13 US Gulf States bases, war partner Israel and the world economy, Trump essentially surrendered by implementing a ceasefire without a hint of achieving a single war objective.

But defeat is not an option for Trump so he immediately broke the ceasefire by declaring a blockade on Iran’s blockade of oil and critical world goods traversing the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by withdrawing any negotiation to reopen the Strait. In Trump’s disintegrating brain, the path to victory is speeding up collapse of the world economy by stopping all Iranian oil shipments to friendly nations like India and China not trying to destroy it.

Problem is Trump’s blockade on Iran’s blockade will no more collapse the Iranian regime than his thousand hour bombing campaign. Dozens of Iranian ships have skirted the US blockade by hugging the Iranian coast line. US ships dare not get closer to Iran than about 150 miles or risk being rerouted to Davy Jones Locker by Iranian missiles and drones. Even if they could the US simply does not have enough ships nearby to adequately choke off sufficient Iranian tankers to achieve Iran’s collapse.

Meanwhile Israel and its American Lobby are pounding on Trump to unleash a new, more vigorous bombing campaign. That could happen any day. Iran is ready and poised to destroy the remaining Gulf States oil infrastructure they missed in the war’s first thousand hours. Then watch the world economy collapse faster than Trump can claim at 3:00 A.M. on Truth Social ‘AMERICA WINS AGAIN…SEND NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO TRUMP C/O MAR-A-LAGO.’
