235. A face-saving exercise by a defeated leader
The inevitable has just happened. The US president, Donald Trump, has said he has instructed the Defense Department to postpone all airstrikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period. This is subject to the success of ongoing meetings and discussions. He claims that over the last two days, Washington and Tehran have had very productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.
The whole world knows that Trump is lying. The fact is, Trump backed down after hearing Iran would target power plants in West Asia.
Just two days ago, he had threatened and given Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Tehran said it would irreversibly destroy essential infrastructure across the Middle East, including vital water systems, if the US followed through on Trump’s threat.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has indirectly said that there has been no direct or indirect contact between Iran and Donald Trump.
Iran’s foreign ministry claims Donald Trump’s comments are aimed at lowering energy prices and buying time to execute his military strategies……there are initiatives from regional countries to reduce tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington.
Iran is right. Already, a contingent of thousands of US sailors and marines is heading to the Middle East, which has raised expectations that a new phase of the war could begin soon.
It is nothing more than a distraction from his main strategic goal to capture the Strait of Hormuz.
Immediately after the announcement of Trump, the IDF said it had launched a wave of strikes on Tehran targeting infrastructure, indicating it is not entirely on the same page as the US.
Nothing is clear in fact; however, the market sentiment will be a little better, but will only get worse within another week. Iran has many pluses and will not back down.
If the leaders of major countries, the people of America and Israel, are not coming together to stop this war, act against the two mad and deranged individuals, and extinguish the hatred, the Middle East will certainly become an unimaginable hell. A barren and uninhabitable land very soon.
Trump is a madman, dangerous like anyone in history. Think of it – how he joked about the fun of a US submarine sinking the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena off the coast of Sri Lanka, killing more than 80 sailors.
The double game played by Israel was evident when it blamed Iran for firing an intercontinental ballistic missile towards the British military base of Diego Garcia. Iran denied, but Israel also exposed itself when it said that Europe is threatened by Iran’s missile programme.
DONALD TRUMP IS A SICK MAN
US President Donald Trump doesn’t follow the Latin maxim, which goes like this: “De mortuis nil nisi bonum”, or do not speak ill of the dead, because he is a vile, disgusting man and a sick human being, and the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted him with leadership.
In the single sentence above, I have summarized what scores of people have said, and I fully endorse this statement.
Robert Mueller, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who led a politically explosive investigation into Trump, died aged 81. Mueller was a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart recipient.
Immediately, the US president posted a disgusting and grossly inappropriate tweet: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Trump is a habitual offender in this regard. Remember, following the killings of film director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, Trump claimed on social media that they were killed due to Reiner’s ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.
Trump had also mocked the near-fatal hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul.
Read how others have reacted –
Adam Schiff, a senator for California: “Every day, this president shows his basic indecency and unfitness for office.”
Andy Kim, a senator for New Jersey: “What a small and spiteful man.”
Rick Wilson, a political strategist, warned Trump: “When you die, Americans, and people around the world, will dance in the streets for weeks because you’re a low, degenerate, criminal fraud who left a full stain on the presidency.”
Heath Mayo, founder of Principles First: “What a sick human being. A permanent disfiguring scar on the dignity of our nation.”
Jon Favreau, a podcaster and former speechwriter for Obama: “One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.”
What should the world expect from such a fool?
