Donald Trump was in good spirits Wednesday night at his rally in Las Vegas, giving the same tired speech he’s been giving for months, but it did look like he had a new hairpiece, so good for him.
Trump wants the American public to believe that this pause in the war in Iran is a humanitarian pause on his part, but he barely mentioned it. For the casual Trump fan and Fox News watcher they must still be celebrating Trump’s latest assurance that victory over Iran is assured. But the truth is, Trump’s Generals have already told him that this war is lost.
The US stocks of ballistic missiles and interceptors are at historic lows and another 3 or 4 weeks of bombing would deplete the remaining supply leaving the US defenseless in the event of an attack by another country. This was Trump’s plan See this:

The only thing Trump has accomplished after nearly 6 months of intermittently bombing Iran, between peace talks and broken ceasefires by Israel to sabotage the peace, is that he has emboldened the Iranians who now have demands of their own.
After Iran’s recent attack on Jordan, Trump promised retaliation, but none came. Iran knows that Trump can’t see this conflict through and this week went on the offense bombing a US base in Kuwait and are continuing to attack unauthorized ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is now negotiating deals with Oman, which is the other country that borders the Strait. Iran ally Yemen is now blocking the Red Sea shipping lanes and the Suez Canal. Iran is now poised to control all shipping in and out of the region and appears to hold all the cards. They’ve called Trump’s bluff and gone on the offensive; his next step will be crucial.
General Dan Caine knows that if they decide to continue bombing Iran, further depleting the diminishing number of ballistic missiles and interceptors, the Iranians intend to renew attacks on Israel, whose defense systems are also extremely low on missiles. They’ve also vowed to renew the attacks on America’s Gulf allies, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and the UAE.
Alistaire Cooke a former British Diplomat told Judge Napolitano that Saudi Arabia, already reeling with financial problems over the Strait being closed, would be devastated if their pipelines and refineries were hit. Now they know that the US can’t protect them. The other Gulf states feel the same. See that here:

Iran has already bombed 13 US bases in the Gulf States utterly destroying them. According to the Trump administration, it will take years and billions of dollars to rebuild them if they do decide to rebuild.
They have threatened to start bombing the Gulf allies’ oil infrastructure and desalination plants that would devastate them economically and leave them without a clean, potable water supply. It’s between 90 and 100 degrees in the Gulf states today, not a good time to eliminate a desert country’s water supply.
I’m sure right now, these Gulf state leaders are begging Trump not to start bombing Iran again. The only country still pushing for regime change in the region now is Israel. Trump’s failure to protect the Gulf State allies could turn them against each other and the US. See this:

Bibi Netanyahu and his Zio-nutjob American cronies Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Laura Loomer, on the other hand, are urging Trump to finish the job and put boots on the ground. But he can’t.
Boots on the ground would be a catastrophe! The consensus among the retired military minds is that they don’t believe the US has a sufficient fighting force to guarantee victory. That’s important.
In the summer of 1941, Adolph Hitler launched ‘Operation Barbarossa and invaded Russia during World War II, their population was 200 million. Hitler invaded with 3.8 million men. It wasn’t enough! The Germans suffered 2 million dead, and a humiliating defeat.
Hitler’s high ranking military officials sent him a memorandum before the operation, cautioning him that it would hurt the German economy, and the benefits weren’t worth the dangers politically, and militarily. But Hitler had an ideological goal of eliminating Communism and couldn’t be dissuaded.
Hitler told Hermann Goring that he would ”No longer listen to misgivings about the economic dangers of a war with Russia.” His decision was a fatal blunder. Like Napoleon, the Germans found the Russian terrain too difficult to traverse, they had to deal with an early onset winter, and it was just too damn big, and too damn cold.
General Dan Caine and his advisors in the Joint Chiefs cautioned Trump about the difficult terrain in Iran, and while Trump had been told he could destroy the economy, he still gave the OK because Bibi Netanyahu has an ideological goal of regime change in Iran and could care less about the negative effects this war has on America.
If Trump isn’t controlled by Israel, why would he be foolish enough to bomb another country based on Israeli intelligence? Decisions like this are why Trump keeps telling us how smart he is.
Remember in April when Trump told reporters that, “It’s not possible for the US to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and child-care, we’re fighting a war!” Did you know that every Israeli citizen enjoys free health care thanks to US taxpayers?
General Caine knows they’ve lost this war in Iran, and our military has been humiliated. They never had a plan. Caine had advised Trump against this war, as did the Joint Chiefs, but he is surrounded by Zionists, many of whom likely report to Netanyahu. Bibi’s powers of persuasion (Blackmail) or control proved too strong for Trump to resist.
Podcaster Spencer Hakimian reports that Trump & “Rapture Pete” Hegseth clashed over the missile shortage last weekend at Camp David and Trump was close to firing his Secretary of War, after they told him the war was lost. There’s no word yet on if he’s accepted it yet. As recently as Wednesday Trump denied that the missile shortage was an issue.
How dangerously low are our missile stocks? Former CIA agent Larry Johnson says It will take 3 to 5 years to replenish our missile stocks, but we lack the 4 or 5 rare earth minerals needed to make them. See this:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qIHo4jxnJIo
US oil reserves are also at decades long lows, and despite rising oil prices in the last two weeks Trump went on TV this week and said gas prices are down to $1.98 a gallon in some states. The average price of a gallon of gas according to AAA is $4.09 this week. See this:

Journalist Brandon Weichert said the word is the Pentagon says we are in a ‘moment of vulnerability’ because of our diminished supply of missiles and interceptors, which Trump had recently denied, and says because of this they intend to rewrite their nuclear war doctrine to make it easier in the future to use tactical nuclear weapons. These people are running our military, this is frightening!
This decision makes about as much sense as attacking and debanking members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) because they convicted Netanyahu of war crimes and crimes against humanity based on a mountain of evidence from both video and victim’s statements. Why can’t Trump just tell them to stop the war crimes and crimes against humanity or we’ll cut them off?
Another who advised against this war was Vice President JD Vance, who is watching his presidential hopes in the 2028 election diminish further with every increase at the gas pump and every time Trump rants about how he’s already won this war. Trump continues to tell the public that the Iranians are begging him to make a deal. He just can’t stop lying.
Mohammed Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran who attended the peace talks in Pakistan, said the Iranians believe Trump is a madman who can’t be trusted.
Professor Marandi says the Iranians are not begging for a deal but are weighing their options. What Trump won’t admit, or is so delusional that he can’t accept, is that he has lost this war, and will not be in any position to dictate terms to the Iranians, who won’t forget that Trump’s Air Force was recently dropping 2000 lb bombs on Iran’s residential neighborhoods.
They also won’t forget that Trump bombed an elementary girl’s school with Tomahawk missiles, killing 126 girls and 26 teachers. They knew it was a school and bombed it anyway. America is now bombing like the war criminals in Israel.
It’s time for Trump to pull out, lick his wounds, and tell Bibi and the warmongers in Israel to fight their own wars. He needs to become the America First president he promised his supporters he’d be before he destroyed the MAGA coalition with his Israel First agenda.
Pulling out now will infuriate Netanyahu and the radical zealots in Israel, who are more than willing to sacrifice as many American soldiers as it takes to achieve their agenda of full spectrum dominance of the region. I believe the Israelis would do another false flag attack like they did on 9/11, and blame Iran, justifying their use of tactical nuclear weapons. This should be a real concern.
The 9/11 attacks were Israeli false flag attacks. The article below proves that everything you were told about 9/11 was a lie and includes all of the irrefutable facts and evidence the Zionist media covered up. Only a Shill for Israel would support them after reading this!

Israeli soldiers were filming themselves burning American flags after Trump signed the ceasefire deal two months ago. The American people don’t realize the hate that the Israelis have for America, and how badly they resent that they are reliant on the US.
I have said before that we can know if Trump is controlled by Israel, and if he foolishly continues this war in Iran there can be no doubt he is completely controlled by the genocide state. Trump has made this an angrier world with this war for Israel, and he’s let down allies that no longer trust this president, for good reason!
In 1994 Former Reagan UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, herself a Neo-Conservative, defended Pat Buchanon whose stance on defense was generating a lot of criticism. Buchanon had proposed that we bring the soldiers stationed overseas home and close the bases. Kirkpatrick wrote that we should have done it long ago. Why haven’t we?
The Strait of Hormuz was open and Iran was open to inspections of their nuclear facilities and said they didn’t want a war, but Israel said no! Don’t forget Bibi talked Trump into a sneak bomb attack during the initial peace negotiations. Bibi may as well have Trump on a leash!
Former National Security Director Zbigniew Brzezinsky wrote in his book, ‘The Grand Chessboard’ that China, Russia, and Iran would never form a coalition against the US. They never had until Trump’s and Netanyahu’s war in Iran.
This is a humiliating loss for blowhard Trump and yes man and Israel shill, “Rapture Pete”, it will be interesting to see how they spin it. The question now should be, what is the Pentagon spending the new $1.5 trillion war budget on now?
If the Iran war taught us anything, it’s that battlefields have changed. Is Pete Hegseth the right man to steer the ship? I expect he will be gone soon. And how is merging our military with Israel a good thing? I predict that merger will end more miserably than this idiotic and unnecessary war for Israel in Iran.
Americans who don’t support these wars are called isolationists, but nothing isolates America from the world more than supporting Israel!
