Nothing says we are losing the war like Trump saying: “We are low keying it” regarding terms with Iran.
And this was confirmed on Sunday, in a fresh report in The Wall Street Journal (stating the obvious) – that President Trump has fewer and fewer options and is being squeezed,
Wait!
Haven’t we won this war at least seven times already?
Sorry/Not Sorry for the sarcasm.
Because for nearly the last six months we have been pounding the table over the Netanyahu war that we have no business being part of.
And from the beginning, there was no exit strategy.
So now, Iran is holding all the cards reiterating that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to international shipping only after the United States accepts all of its conditions.
In Case You Missed it…those conditions include:
-
Lifting sanctions and paying war compensation to Tehran
-
Seeking billions of dollars in U.S. payments
-
The removal of American troops from the region
-
An end of the U.S. naval blockade, among other things
-
And NO NUKE deal
-
Oh, and let’s not forget the releasing of ALL FROZEN Iranian funds
Ironically (or NOT) the US hope was that Iran and its economy would just collapse from within. Then the expectation of masses taking to the streets, and the government of the Ayatollah would be overthrown.
This has proven delusional time and again.
Why else would Trump say “We Are Low Keying it?”
As a result, what we see happening is the Neocons in Washington are being forced to move its bases back from front line areas in the Gulf.
And officials including Trump himself constantly retreating from stated goals, objectives, and red lines.
Low Keying It…
We suppose anyone with half a brain would most likely be low keying this embarrassing exit strategy.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to imagine this war just going away.
Because another hornets’ nest has been smacked with a baseball bat as the Houthis went bat **** crazy, plummeting the Saudi backed mercenaries.
But no one wants to talk about that.
And it’s extremely hard to put Houthi’s back in the box (Hornets nest) once it has been purged…it’s probably easier to put toothpaste back into the tube.
So, no, don’t expect these conflicts to end any time soon.
Iran could tell the Houthis to stop, but why should they?
Bottom line here?
It’s time for our nation (including all MAGA Trumpers) to wake up to the fact that the 21st Century version of warfare (currently on display in the Middle East) has shaken the foundation of the Biggest, most powerful Military on earth.
And that technology – combined with thousands of years of defending your borders – created a formidable opponent.
It’s also proof that there is a profound difference between defending your homeland and/or being sent to war on false premises to satisfy some deranged political theory of world domination.
Let’s just pray that this doesn’t turn into another Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
And if it does, how are you prepared to deal with the possible disruptions in the market?

Share this with a friend…especially if they believed the nonsense that we were winning the war with Iran. They’ll thank YOU later.
And tell them:
