It would be good, if it were actually true. But the reality is the opposite. Iran isn't being crippled, it's adapting, extracting tolls through the Strait and strengthening alternative trade flows away from the US dollar. Once again, the outcomes are the reverse of what you were promised.

Your problem, Frank, is the same as it's always been, pride. You were sold a version of reality that isn't holding up, and instead of adjusting, you're doubling down to avoid admitting you were wrong. Some of the MAGA base have already figured that out and moved on, others are still looking for someone else to blame.

Meanwhile, the real-world indicators don't lie. Cost of living is up, economic pressure is rising, and the people who were told they'd benefit are the ones most exposed. You can ignore that if you want, but refusing to face reality doesn't just protect your ego, it stops you adapting, and that's where the real damage gets done.  You're lucky you're not in the US, because those MAGA supporters who refuse to adapt will be those who lose everything.

And for some, that refusal goes further. When people build their identity around being right, and reality strips that away, the fallout can get ugly. They lash out, or collapse inward, because admitting they were lied to feels worse than the consequences. That's where this path leads if you keep choosing denial over reality.

So Amrikkka is, in turn, a Chinese agent, a Russian agent, a Persian agent.
Whatever Amrikkka does or doesnt do, it will be contrary to Amrikkka's real interests.

Ta. That was easy.

It's Getting Serious: Trump Triple Dog Dares Iran To Keep Strait Of Hormuz Closed



WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump's threats to the Iranian regime escalated drastically over the holiday weekend, with the President issuing a rare "triple dog dare" for Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed.

Having previously dared and double-dared the regime to see what would happen if they kept the strait closed, Trump confirmed that he had now triple dog dared Iran, letting the international community know that the situation had become far more serious.

"Whoa, a triple dog dare? Trump must mean business this time," said Pakistani negotiator Mahal Zubairi. "This signals to the world that the situation is not just serious, but super-duper-serious. Trump may have let Iran slide after the dare and double-dare. Those threats were mere child's play. We have arrived at the triple dog dare."

According to sources within Iran, the IRGC was caught off guard by the sudden intensification of tensions. "We thought there would be a double dog dare," said IRGC commander Morteza Ismaeili. "The regime was simply not prepared for how heated things got. It just got extra serious, with sprinkles on top."

At publishing time, President Trump had issued a new warning to Iran that if it didn't behave, he was going to start counting to ten.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Spain told us that we can't use their bases and that is alright, we don't need them."
"If we want, we can just fly in and use it. Nobody will stop us."

2 week ceasefire now.

Trump agrees to two-week ceasefire with Iran

The president said the agreement was made on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz.

Quote:
JUST IN: President Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday — less than two hours before his 8 p.m. to destroy a “whole civilization” — on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz.


Someone from Iran will be along shortly to say they know nothing about it and there is no way they will reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

And, it sure sounds like another TACO to me.

There was similar nonsense to end Vietnam. The US broke off negotiations which had given a way out and bombed Hanoi into agreeing to the same deal they already had given.  It was bluster to cover US retreat. As they say, like a gunslinger firing and backing out of the saloon doors.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran has decided against executing eight women it originally planned to kill on Wednesday night and would release four of them while giving one-month prison sentences to the other four.

Trump, who called on the regime to release the women on Tuesday, shared the development in a Truth Social post.

“Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed. Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison,” he wrote.

“I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.

The Lawfare Project identifies the eight women as Bita Hemmati, Ghazal Ghalandari, Golnaz Naraghi, Venus Hossein Nejad, Panah Movahedi, Ensieh Nejati, Mahboubeh Shabani, and Diana Taher Abadi.

What the US consistently fails to comprehend and fully internalise is that its vastly superior military is not necessarily enough to deter aggressors, prevent a war, or win a war.

It has lost nearly every war it's fought since WW2, no matter how much firepower it uses.

The mini-wars it has decisively won have all exclusively been those that a ruling or potentially ruling regime has cooperated with the US, e.g., Panama, Grenada, Kuwait, Venezuela...
