SOTN<\/a> Editor’s Note: The important analysis posted below in its entirety lays bare just how devastating a blunder Trump’s blockade of Iran surely is.<\/h3>\n

The critical points are these: That every dying empire predictably has leaders who, wittingly and unwittingly, accelerate the decline.\u00a0 We saw this happen with blockhead Joe Biden every single day of his catastrophic term.\u00a0 And we are seeing it again virtually every day of\u00a0 Trump’s second term.\u00a0 Having proudly overseen the roll-out of the weaponized COVID-19 ‘vaccination’ program during his first was perhaps the most dangerous and deadly and destructive thing a POTUS has ever done in the 250 history of the United States.\u00a0 And Trump is still proud to the the “Father of the Vaccine”!!!<\/h3>\n

FOURTH TURNING ALERT!
\nTrump the wrecking ball is on the loose<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

These are the types of profound betrayals and perfidious assaults on the citizenry that will occur when an empire is gasping for air to stay afloat.\u00a0 Of course, the USS Trump is destined to hit its fateful iceberg if for no other reason that Blockhead-in-Chief Donald John Trump is at the helm.\u00a0 After all, we’re talking about an individual who represents the perfect marriage of supreme arrogance and profound ignorance.\u00a0 On top of that, the POTUS is a dementia-ridden and drug-addled boy king with all the signs of severe arrested development.\u00a0 And that’s the good news!<\/h3>\n

Dementia-Ridden President Trump
\nEndangers Entire World<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The bad news is that Trump’s presidential actions since Inauguration Day also reveal a person who is not only a delusional psychopath and pathological liar but also a malignant narcissist and sadistic sociopath.\u00a0 We’re talking about an incorrigible lunatic and certifiable madman who is capable of inflicting great pain and suffering on the entire planetary civilization without the slightest pang of conscience.<\/h3>\n

OPERATION EPIC FURY:
\nAn Epic Act of Treason
\nby POTUS enabled by Congress<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

But, really, how did the American people get the leader that they truly deserve (all kidding aside)?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Because the country was quite stealthily and steadily set up for the upcoming national cataclysm—that’s why!<\/h3>\n

In matters of great consequence, a preponderance of folks almost always chose falsehood over truth, injustice over justice, and war over peace going back to World War I.\u00a0 The promise of the utterly fake (and ever elusive for most) ‘American Dream’ clouded the nation’s collective judgment where it concerned the most weighty issues of the day.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump, himself, is a gross exaggeration of the patently fraudulent American success story which still inspires so many members of the USA’s unparalleled Idiocracy.\u00a0 Not only that, but the Idiot-in-Chief was also sucked into what is perhaps the most lethal and harmful ism on Earth today—Israelism.\u00a0 Once that happened to the leader of the 50 states, the American Republic was doomed to a nothing but a dreaded outcome on its 250th birthday in 2026. See: What in the world is Israelism?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Back to the “BLOCKADE BLUNDER”.<\/h3>\n

What Trump’s bungling and bumbling blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has really done is this:<\/h3>\n

“The important thing is that America no longer has the role of protecting the rest of the world militarily or its trade. It is now a threat to the world\u2019s military safety and the world\u2019s prosperity that it claimed to justify the whole Cold War to begin with.”(Source: The Stunningly Bungled Blockade Bluff And Blunder<\/a><\/strong>)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blockade<\/h1>\n

by Robert Gore
\nStraight Line Logic<\/p>\n

The world is threatened by a blockade more deadly than Iran\u2019s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. That blockade is the refusal among the West\u2019s ruling class to allow entry of any thoughts not conforming to their prejudices, slogans, and unattainable objectives. Their minds are more tightly sealed than Hormuz or Bab-el-Mandeb ever has been. In their credentialed arrogance they preen about their intelligence. They are fools repeatedly rushing in where no angel would tread.<\/p>\n

If President Trump\u2019s Iran adventure represents what now passes for his and his administration\u2019s mental processes, the U.S. and the world are in grave danger. This fiasco in progress has bypassed every marker of intellectual proficiency. It offers no cognizance of history, geography, or military reality, no recognition of past mistakes, no lessons learned, no acknowledgement that their may be things about which its perpetrators are ignorant. It\u2019s bereft of elementary common sense, much less wisdom tempered by experience and humility.<\/p>\n

Trump is not playing with a full deck. Not only are his mental processes visibly deteriorating, but he\u2019s morally compromised in every way possible. His abject servility to Netanyahu, Israel, and the American Jewish lobby may well be due to their ruthless blackmail. He is leading the U.S. to humiliation and defeat that will spell the end of the last vestiges of its failing empire.<\/p>\n

That fall may come to be regarded as the first phase of the Age of Chaos. Many of us will be probably be alive to see the culmination of this first phase, but the entire Age of Chaos will probably play out long after we\u2019re all dead. An empire must have the ability to expand its dominion and to subjugate the people within it. Both expansion and subjugation have become problematic.<\/p>\n

The American empire is a confederation constructed after World War II. Unlike the Roman empire, its lifespan will be measured in decades, not centuries. The U.S. confederation has been unable to expand its dominion to North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, or most of the Middle East. The exception to the latter is the imposition of the Zionist state of Israel, but that \u201csuccess\u201d may ultimately lead to the downfall of both Israel and the U.S. empire. The one unambiguous success has been the incorporation of Warsaw Pact nations after the fall of the Soviet Empire. That incorporation has reached its limits with the confederation\u2019s attempt to absorb Ukraine, which may well fail due to Russia\u2019s opposition.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding this litany of mostly failure and the obvious difficulties inherent in an effort to subjugate Iran, Trump and Netanyahu went ahead with what was within a few weeks a readily apparent fiasco. There are, as Jeffrey Sachs and others have pointed out, disturbing indications of megalomaniacal insanity in both men. Failing empires get the leaders they deserve; the fall of the Roman empire had its crazy emperors<\/p>\n

Empires are inherently offensive. Sustenance comes from plunder; they must grow or die. The problem for the U.S. and imperialism in general is the yawning disparity between the costs of offensive and defensive warfare and the emerging dominance of asymmetric, or guerrilla, warfare. Historically, guerrilla warfare has been the weapon of the weak, usually defensively employed. The problem for would-be invaders is that the weapons of the weak have become so effective against the weapons of the strong (assuming nuclear weapons are off the table) that it\u2019s stymied offensive warfare. The former are orders of magnitude cheaper than the latter\u2014$30,000 drones are taking out multimillion dollar aircraft, tanks, and seagoing vessels.<\/p>\n

Recent history is replete with examples that only fools and madmen (i.e. Trump and Netanyahu) ignore. Exhibit A would be the Russia-Ukraine war, which featured the debut of the newest \u201cstar\u201d of asymmetric warfare: drones (See \u201cThe Ants New Weapon,\u201d Robert Gore, SLL, June 17, 2025). That war has settled into a World War One-style battle of attrition as drones and artillery have made advancement for either side difficult and costly. New drone-based tactics and counter-tactics evolve almost daily with only measured progress by the Russians; certainly not what they expected when they began their offensive over four years ago. And this is in eastern Ukrainian territory that\u2019s Russia friendly!<\/p>\n

Exhibit B would be Yemen\u2019s Houthis, whose closure of the Bab-el-Mandeb strait at the southern end of the Red Sea was a test drive for ally Iran\u2019s closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis have punched well above their weight, waging often effective land, aerial, and naval warfare against Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, and the U.S. They are part of the Axis of Resistance and receive both tangible and rhetorical support from Hezbollah and Iran. The U.S. government alleges that they also receive support from the Russian, Chinese, and North Korean governments.<\/p>\n

The Houthis have employed increasingly sophisticated drones and missiles, many of which have been supplied by Iran. President Trump\u2019s Operation Rough Rider, which launched air and naval strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen; a subsequent cease fire forced by Houthi attacks on more than 190 ships, and Trump\u2019s dubious declaration of victory were a preview of U.S. and Israel\u2019s two subsequent attacks on Iran and their attendant lipstick-on-a-pig propaganda.<\/p>\n

The foundation of guerrilla warfare is decentralized cells, operating with a high degree of autonomy from central command. Since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Iranian government has adopted this guerrilla strategy, named Mosaic, as its mode of defensive warfare. Iran has been turned into 31 autonomous operational zones with substantial drone and missile capabilities. Thus, killing most of Iran\u2019s formal leadership and extensive bombing, particularly of Tehran, did not achieve the stated objective: a quick Iranian capitulation. Nor did it prevent a lethal Iranian counterstrike.<\/p>\n

Guerrilla warfare works because it engenders chaos against forces attempting to either impose order or their own brand of \u201cmanaged\u201d chaos, from which order will supposedly emerge. The Iranians have certainly engendered chaos in the Middle East, and if order emerges, it will apparently be on their terms. Most important, Iran could exercise control of the Strait of Hormuz with its sovereignty intact and greatly enhanced influence in the region.<\/p>\n

The U.S.-Israel alliance is confronted with a choice. It can recognize the epochal reality currently unfolding: short of nuclear attack, invasion and traditional offensive warfare are being rendered virtually obsolete. The implications of full reality recognition would be enormous. The U.S. would have little or no influence in the Middle East, perhaps withdrawing completely (other than commercial transactions), while that of nearby powers Russia and China would expand.. The petrodollar arrangement from which the U.S. has so greatly benefitted would be over. The development would herald the end of the American empire and the possible ascendancy of Russian and Chinese-led multilateralism.<\/p>\n

That would have its salutary aspects for the U.S. Psychologically, it\u2019s way past time for a well-deserved comeuppance. Economically, the empire is an unaffordable luxury for a government $39 trillion in debt. Politically, the nation has enough problems at home without creating more for itself abroad.<\/p>\n

However, the outlook for Israel would be bleak. For decades it has fomented chaos and division in the Middle East to reduce the chances of unified Islamic opposition against it. An Iran that has defeated the U.S.-Israel alliance and become the dominant power within the region would be Israeli and American Zionists\u2019 worst nightmare. Israel\u2019s continuing existence would be in question. Not necessarily because Iran would acquire nuclear weapons, if it doesn\u2019t already have them. Rather, the small Jewish state will stand revealed as militarily vulnerable, and it has many actual and potential enemies in the Middle East. That fact suggests that the alliance won\u2019t choose reality recognition, but rather nuclear nihilism.<\/p>\n

The Sampson Option is Israel\u2019s well-known strategy should it be confronted with circumstances that its leaders feel threaten its existence. They would activate Israel\u2019s nuclear weapons\u2014if Israel\u2019s going down they\u2019ll take the rest of the world with it. It may have enough nuclear bombs to do so. The Israelis characterize the Sampson Option as a deterrence strategy, and if push came to shove nobody knows if they\u2019d press the button. However, the apocalyptic rhetoric spouted by Netanyahu and his cohort, and American Christian-Zionists like Mike Huckabee, is not reassuring. If the Israel-American alliance opts for nuclear nihilism, global chaos is assured. The continuation of Homo Sapiens is not.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the alliance\u2019s choice, increasingly amplified chaos is in the cards. Even if the impossibility of maintaining an empire is fully, if begrudgingly, recognized, the American empire\u2019s dissolution will be chaotic. Its satrapies will be left to scramble for alternative military and economic arrangements. Accommodations will have to be made with the global majority as centuries of Western domination draw to a close.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that multipolarity among the global majority will be any kind of nirvana. The ever-strengthening forces of decentralized chaos will be impossible for any government to contain. Power always corrupts; multipolarity won\u2019t abolish rivalry among nations and venality among their rulers. Russia and China, the leaders of the multipolar bloc, are currently led by exceptionally adroit authoritarians; their successors probably won\u2019t be as adept. Governments, as coercive political arrangements, are incompatible with human freedom. As such, they\u2019re never permanent, and today\u2019s tyrannical behemoths are well past their sell-by dates.<\/p>\n

Chaos may be most intense within the U.S. Much of its apparent strength rests on the shakiest of foundations. Decisive defeat in the Middle East will undermine the military \u201cglue\u201d that has supported the U.S. since World War II and its fiat dollar since 1971. Then there\u2019s the exponentially mounting debt. Those two factors will eventually obliterate U.S. financial markets. The burgeoning chaos reflects the mental chaos playing out in so many American minds\u2014apocalyptic Christian-Zionist dispensationalism, woke, transhumanism, \u201cart\u201d and \u201cculture\u201d that are neither, elite depravity, and who knows what other mental and moral depredations (it\u2019s hard to keep track). These are the ingredients for uncontrollable chaos.<\/p>\n

Insanity inevitably meets reality, and the latter always wins. There\u2019s a good chance the U.S. will splinter. The most optimistic scenario is that some of the resultant pieces become enclaves committed to protecting freedom and individual rights. They would have to have the capability to protect themselves from malign elements. They would also require an unswerving commitment to reason and mental clarity not currently apparent among any appreciable segment of the American population. However, chaos will impart wisdom among some of those who survive it, and they could potentially rebuild and institute order based on choice, incentives, and cooperation, not coercion and violence.<\/p>\n

Contemplating bewildering day-to-day developments without a broader analytical framework only heightens the bewilderment. That framework doesn\u2019t come from a social sciences perspective, but the physical sciences offers some understanding. Without getting into the weeds of the concept of entropy, it\u2019s fair to say that entropy is associated with disorder and randomness; that in systems left to spontaneous evolution entropy remains constant or increases, that energy is required to slow, stop, or reverse the entropic process, and certain processes are irreversible.<\/p>\n

For centuries, order\u2014controlling entropy\u2014has been imposed by governments, but now they\u2019re being overwhelmed by entropic processes. They can no longer command the resources necessary to contain the decentralized and ever-increasing dispersal and power of computing, communications, and weaponry. The \u201cenergy\u201d of governments is being overwhelmed by disorder and randomness, and that process is almost certainly irreversible. Ironically, most of what governments now do to impose order only increases disorder and chaos; they are adding to rather than subtracting from entropy.<\/p>\n

This analysis yields no confident predictions about what happens next; chaos is unpredictable. Nor does it yield claims of knowledge about billions of unknowable data points. What it does yield is some comprehension of the epochal breakdown well underway. Not particularly comforting, but it at least offers insight amidst the unending confusion.<\/p>\n
