Dear Editor,
While President Trump’s unprovoked war against Iran is costing Americans billions each day, Trump continues to dally while the world economy stands to burn. His own actions undercut his goals. His unprecedented war-partnering with Israel is allowing Israel to sabotage the ceasefire by its massacres in Lebanon in the goal to launch America into the mother-of-all Mideast “forever” wars with Iran—whose power impedes Israel’s obsessive and darkly violent Greater Israel project.
Trump undercut his own stated goal of preventing Iran from having nukes by assassinating Iran’s religious leader who had a fatwah (a religious prohibition) against nukes. To compensate, Iran armed itself with a seemingly unlimited supply of missiles, including undetectable hypersonics, and can continue to produce them unseen, underground. Trump cannot win this war but if he makes a separate peace, Bibi implicitly threatens to use nukes. Giving in and partnering with Israel in attacking Iran was Trump’s fatal error.
After initially grasping the dire consequences of his aggression to Iran, Trump agreed to Iran’s 10-point plan for a cease-fire which was an unconditional surrender. He then backtracked.
While the world economy increasingly convulses from the closing of Hormuz with each passing day, Trump dallies. He sent Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad to negotiate with the Iranians, but shackled Vance from negotiating a face-saving surrender with his amateur diplomat team of Vance minders—Zionist real estate operatives Kushner/Witkoff—who are agents for Israel. This infamous duo multiplied their previous duplicity by halting a timely agreement. During the 21 hours of negotiations, they informed Israeli P.M. Benjamin Netanhayu (Bibi) of progress. Bibi then called Vance, ending that round of talks.
Now Trump’s current improvised plan is to blockade the blockade. This depends on U.S. aircraft carriers positioned a safe 1,200 miles away. Meanwhile, this blockage plan threatens to leave nothing to fuel the world economy.
What hangs in the balance? Podcast orator George Galloway of MOATS (Mother of all Talk Shows that plays worldwide) appropriately asks: “Is Trump the victim of a blackmail plot so dark that he literally cannot refuse Netanyahu anything? It’s the only way to explain bringing down the world economy, putting thousands of American service personnel in the darkest of corners in harm’s way, of destroying your own puppet regimes in Arabia, and ending economic activity as we knew it in the developed world.”
The real blockage that needs unblocking is the Trump/U.S. “joined-at-the-hip” partnership with Israel. The question is whether that can be done before the current Hormuz blockage nukes the world economy.
