It seems no-one has the balls to do it! Trump is a bully but has never been challenged properly. Carney and China have more or less told him to p..s off and he can’t handle it so either resorts to insults or backs down and sulks. He needs to be challenged or at least ignored as this war is costing us all far too much.
I would love your expert take on my latest article, “America and I-ran: the ‘Marathon’ that Risks Turning into an ‘Ironman’”.
“Same as it ever was”. For half a century, US policy towards Iran has relied on a circular logic: impose 'crushing' sanctions to fuel diplomacy, only to find the regime more defiant, the economy more opaque, and the global fallout more severe. From the 1979 hostage crisis to the 2026 stalemate, Washington has built a legislative machine that never stops, yet never achieves its purpose.
1-not many american deaths.. bc no actual ground battles
2-IRN suffered enormously.. but did not lose.. extermination of secular & ethnic activists will be catastrophic
3-ISR has started major push for greater ISR w/the fool's AND EUR active help.. first: neutralize IRN regional influence after genociding gaza and annexation of west bank palestinian left over lands.
Second: invade southern lebanon.
Third: start ground work ro block TR influence in SYR & africa.. TR is next target bc greater ISR requires its weakening
4-Total strategic disaster for u$a: its influence in M.E. is now ZERO.. w/no obvious new local power..
5-USRAEL is now solid. w/u$a weakening, ISR will be certified as a nuclear garrison state.. it's future will depend on EUR support which will be insufficient to battle CHN control of M.E. in the long-term...
We need to confront the apparent incompetence. Is it intentional incompetence, treason?

Thank you, sir! Keep up the good work.
I’ll try to take a look, thanks.
Spot on again, Mark. You have covered everything!

The war won’t end until Trump completely capitulates.
