Donald Trump does not seem to have played chess as he has parked his king right in the middle of the world political chessboard and is now crying for help.
But no one is obliging. Not the EU, not Britain nor Germany. Hilariously Trump has even asked China to send it’s warships to unblock the Strait of Hormuz from where one fifth of the world’s oil flows.
Why on earth a country like China which is a strong ally of Iran and is getting uninterrupted supply of oil from Iran through the Strait send it’s warships to block it.
But a person like Trump with limited or no knowledge of world politics would not understand this otherwise he would not have been lulled like a baby by war criminal Bibi into attacking Iran.
Trump is in a quagmire of his own making and now their is no exit. His NATO allies including Germany & Britain have bluntly refused saying it is not their war and Trump as is his wont has promised bad things to them.
Meanwhile 17 days into the war apart from mining the strait of Hormuz Iran has unleashed a new solid fuel propelled missile “Sijjil,” with a range of 2000 kms and which can be launched instantly giving little or no time to it’s adversaries.
The “Iron Dome & David Sling,” have already shown signs of crumbling against a barrage of Iranian drones & missiles and with the unveiling of this new missile also called the dancing missile these defences will be further tested.
The war is already costing the American taxpayers 1 billion dollar a day and their is no endgame in sight. Trump is not getting the exit he wanted thinking it was another Venezuela.
Boots on the ground would mean more bodybags coming home and with the mid terms just 6 months away that is not a plausible option. Trump is on record saying that ” if we don’t win the mid terms they will find a reason to impeach me.”
Nuking Iran will have catastrophic consequences and nuclear powers like China & Russia won’t be bystanders.
The third and the most prudent option for Trump is to retreat from the war zone by deflating his ego.
Iran on the other hand is in no mood to retract or retrace as it continues to bombshell American and Israeli assets across the gulf.
Iran knows if it stops and comes to the negotiating table without any security guarantees or reparations, America and Israel will certainly replenish their diminishing stock of weapons and interceptors and come back hard.
The more Iran prolongs this war the more American will bleed economically and they will make the world bleed with them as the global economy will be in a spin.
That is what Iran wants and they are succeeding in their objective to put the world economy under duress so that domestic pressure makes Trump see reason and end this misadventure.
As one American put it succinctly “I always thought it would take one evil genius to destroy America, turns out all it took was one Conman with an IQ of a jar of mayonnaise and some supporters with even less.”
A former Director of British Armed Forces Ted Tucker said that “Trump has turned America into a global Pariah. ”
But for Trump this Iran war seems to be a walk in the park as he said that he could bomb the Kharg island in Iran again ” just for fun.”
And if you think this whimsical, eccentric buffoon has had enough wait a minute because while talking to reporters in the White House he said that he would want a piece of Cuba as well.
