SOTN<\/a> Editor’s Note: Here we are today, Friday, June 19th, and Iran has just closed the Strait of Hormuz after Trump terminated the blockade this week. See: FRIDAY, JUNE19th: Iran Declares the Strait of Hormuz is Closed Again After US Lifts Blockade<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Are folks waking up yet to this never-ending psyop that has hidden objectives and nefarious purposes way beyond anything Trump (or Netanyahu) ever talk about.<\/p>\n

US\/WESTERN CIVILIZATIONAL COLLAPSE
\nIS NO MISCALCULATION BUT PURELY BY
\nDELIBERATE DEMONIC DESIGN<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As for Drama Queen-in-Chief Donald J. Trump, he’s being used and manipulated by his well concealed Khazarian masters based on two main elements of his well established business persona as a lifelong and hardcore predatory capitalist.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Commander-in-Thief Trump wants to steal Iran’s oil and gas just like the British Empire tried to do decades ago.\u00a0 Toward that end, the Netanyahu junta lured him into that utterly catastrophic unprovoked war of naked aggression.\u00a0 After all: Thief-in-Chief Donald J. Trump just loves stealing oil<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for the other piece of Trump’s malignant narcissism, he really wants to be seen as a BIG winner and successful dealmaker … … … because, in reality, he’s a total loser. See: The 14-point US-Iran memorandum proves that Trump is the biggest loser of all.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The following analysis sums up just how much Trump want’s to avoid being viewed as a “SUPER LOSER”, while perpetually cementing his reputation as a SUPER DUPER LOSER ON SUPER STEROIDS<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The madness of Trump\u2019s Iran idea and who\u2019s behind it<\/h1>\n

By Martin Jay<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Iran strikes: staged weakness or real madness? Behind him, Graham and Keene push oil theft and fantasy invasions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many may be confused about America\u2019s recent attacks on Iran, given that they come each day while Trump keeps telling us that a deal is about to be made. Just days ago, analysts believed that Trump was genuinely angry about Netanyahu going ahead with his IDF attacks in Lebanon against Hezbollah. But was that real, or staged? Given that Trump ordered strikes against Iran after that, a cynical view might be that there are only two scenarios why he would do something so incongruent.<\/p>\n

One: he believes that Iran is very close to signing a deal but needs the extra \u2019encouragement\u2019 to finally get over the line. Or two: he felt embarrassed by what a whole phalanx of Western commentators were recently saying \u2014 that it was in fact Bibi who was running the whole show, using America\u2019s resources to create chaos and havoc. The refusal by the Israeli PM to stop his troops fighting was a clear signal that Trump really doesn\u2019t control the war and is very much a servile player to Israeli thinking.<\/p>\n

But what is interesting is how Trump is not at all convinced that he has no military options, even given that they would certainly mean the total eradication of anything left of relations with GCC countries. Trump still believes even today that the US military \u2014 who have only a track record in the last 80 years of losing all wars and interventions they instigate \u2014 can actually take on Iran and win. As ludicrous as this sounds, it is what is at the heart of what is stalling any deal being struck, coupled with Trump\u2019s sensational failure to negotiate \u2014 something he is simply incapable of doing despite his own hype and hubris.<\/p>\n

The US struck a number of water plants in Iran, which was an incredibly stupid initiative given that this is the region\u2019s Achilles heel. If Iran wants to completely eliminate water desalination plants in, say, Qatar \u2014 a country which has no natural water at all \u2014 then it could easily do this in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

When a US Apache helicopter crashes, Trump\u2019s reaction is a theatre of the absurd, similar to watching a child burst into tears on his first sports day where his new soccer shirt gets dirty on the pitch. The US is the aggressor, but when a helicopter is downed, this is met with misplaced outrage that borders on comedy. The reality is that no US military analysts believe the chopper was taken down by Iranian fire; it is more likely that it suffered a malfunction and crashed, with both pilots surviving. But it is interesting how Trump considers the war as more of a theatre of PR stunts rather than an important battle he can win.<\/p>\n

One reason which explains this is the need for US troops to keep busy in the region, in a pathetic bid to remain relevant to GCC allies \u2014 a point made by the commentator Patrick Henningsen recently on RT television. Another reason, though, is the people that Trump keeps around him who he listens to, like Lindsey Graham \u2014 who one can only assume is being blackmailed by Israel over his sexual inclination, given his almost cultish beliefs in Zionism. But Graham knows nothing about war and seems to glean some sexual satisfaction from sending young American men in uniform to their deaths. On the other hand, General Jack Keene, a man who isn\u2019t overburdened with intelligence, is probably responsible for a lot of the erroneous decisions Trump is making militarily, and certainly for stoking the \u201cinvasion option\u201d while reminding the whole world what an irony-free zone America actually is.<\/p>\n

Keene recently rambled on Fox News that he had no confidence in Iran ever keeping its word if Tehran were to ever sign a deal \u2014 a hilarious and preposterous claim given America\u2019s reputation for never keeping its word on ceasefires and peace deals. The very fact that Trump is in talks with the Iranians every day demonstrates that they can be trusted, as it is the Trump camp which has no credibility whatsoever when it comes to integrity \u2014 the main reason why the Iranians are dragging their feet and are more comfortable with a drawn-out war that will recalibrate their position in the region and put down Israel and the US once and for all.<\/p>\n

For Keene to say such a thing is quite remarkable. But then he continues with his ideas about US troops \u201ctaking\u201d Kharg Island, and a picture emerges of how and why Trump is so deluded about what the real capability of US troops is, and how his decisions and ideas are so detached from reality. Landing airborne troops on the island would only be possible if Iran allowed it to happen \u2014 so that it could disarm the occupiers and then hold them hostage as a key part of a new deal. That\u2019s on a good day. On a bad day, if the more hardcore element of the IRGC has its way, they might simply decide to slaughter all of them. What Keene doesn\u2019t seem to understand is the logistical nightmare of having 10,000 US soldiers on a single location within reach of just about everything Iran has to throw at it.<\/p>\n

And the talk of troops \u201clanding\u201d there with helicopters is a fantasy. How did General Keene become a general, given that he is stupid and seems to know little about warfare or Iran\u2019s capability? The Iranians will shoot down US helicopters like they are having a fun day at clay pigeon shooting. But even if troops were allowed to land on Kharg and other islands, they have to be supplied practically every day. Presumably, the Iranians would prevent the supplies getting in and then starve the marines on the ground. If General Keene really has the ear of the president and Iran holds out for a better deal, the case for Trump to go to war becomes even stronger and grows each day.<\/p>\n

But Keene let the cat out of the bag when he talked about oil. It\u2019s really only about oil, or energy, as it was in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and more recently Venezuela. For Trump to capture some oil production and then simply steal from it would be all in a day\u2019s work for the president who has never had any problem with the stigmatization of being called a thief. Trump believes oil theft is a real possibility and makes sense on any given day. But then there are days when he is desperate to get out of Iran altogether, which we can see with his panicky gestures \u2014 like the last strike, which actually achieved nothing but prepared Iran more for war, as the talks combined with bombardment don\u2019t produce the results which Trump needs but make him look even weaker and more desperate. Has General Keene prepared Trump for a scenario where the ceasefire is over and he needs to move onto a new phase? Oil would only sweeten such a plan, and Keene makes no effort to hide this during his interview.<\/p>\n
