The Great Deal Maker Donald Trump is desperately trying to extricate the U.S. from the war we started for Israel in Iran. There isn’t a plausible or honest way of spinning it in any other way. The very best outcome will be for the status quo to return to the region but even that is unlikely as Israel refuses to stop bombing civilians and occupying territory in Lebanon.
What has also changed is a global dynamic. Iran didn’t “beat” the U.S. forces because they don’t have the capability but what they did manage to do was cause a stalemate that led to Trump blinking. Now the world knows that Iran can effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz at will.
Maybe America’s reliance on golly gee whiz-bang tech weapons will work against some opponents but against Iran, not so much. No one remembers the Highway of Death littered with burning obsolete Iraqi armored vehicles. Now warfare has moved in a very different direction, more on that in an upcoming post.
The bigger issue is that the U.S. finds itself handcuffed to the lunatics in Israel.
I have gotten some pushback in the past when I claim that Israel is already looking for the next existential threat to squabble with but the evidence keeps piling up to support my theory.
‘Syria & Turkey Represent Bigger Threat To Israel Than Iran’: Israeli Minister
Late this week Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli declared in an interview with Israeli Army Radio that Tel Aviv “will be at war with Syria sooner or later,” highlighting that the alliance between Damascus and Turkey poses a “strategic challenge” to his country.
The Likud official said, “There is no way that a jihadist regime rooted in ISIS and Al-Qaeda, whose aspiration is the unification of Jerusalem, can live in peace alongside the State of Israel.”
In a separate interview with Kol Barama, a prominent Israeli ultra-Orthodox radio station, Chikli identified Syria as part of a “radical Sunni axis of evil” involving Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan, labeling it “far more troubling” than Iran, and claimed that these nations shaped a recent US–Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) intended to end regional hostilities.
While Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hailed the memorandum as an “important development,” Chikli joined other Likud lawmakers in branding Turkey an “enemy state.”
Amichai Chikli isn’t the Prime Minister of course but he is part of Netanyahu’s Likud party so it is reasonable to assume that he is saying what Netanyahu isn’t saying. At least not yet.
Israeli officials have been talking about future targets even while the war was raging and now that it is sort of over, it doesn’t seem like their thirst for a new war is much diminished. The more they say what their plans are, the harder it becomes for naysayers to claim otherwise.
When someone says what they want to do over and over? Believe them.
Should there be a country left and people capable of writing histories, honest historians will note that Trump squandered an incredible amount of political capital on Israel. Already the Trump 2.0 presidency is marked by endless talk of war in the Middle East and the sort of inflation and higher gas prices Republicans criticized under Biden. When I was in northern Michigan last week there were a number of billboards pointing out that the higher gas prices we were paying were a result of this war.
With the midterms just a few months away things are promising to get uglier and soon. It isn’t all the fault of Trump’s obsession with Israel but is sure is a lot of it.
” Iran didn’t “beat” the U.S. forces”
Debatable. The USN had operated in the Persian Gulf for close to 80 years, the 5th Fleet Headquarters was 120 miles from Iran in Bahrain.
Since the end of Feb, the USN has not operated in the Gulf, with the exception of those two destroyers running in and sticking out their tongues then running out like scalded hounds.
That base in Bahrain? Destroyed at the cost of $400 million.

Looks like a defeat to me.
Yes, it does seem that way, doesn’t it? This link to Vox Day, while it springboards off of the post from Simplicius (hotlinked at the underlined bit at the start), adds some further interpretation, so read both links.

The costs of this farago, undertaken at the behest of the Israelis and their wall licking sycophants in the US, are astonishing, both in sheer Fedbucks wasted, but also and more lastingly, in damage to the perceptions gleaned of the US by the rest of the world at the sorry, sociopathic spectacle that it presents. The information from Simplicius is stunning, but the implications drawn forth from this in the context of the arc of empire by Vox Day are yet more ominous.
The jews are carrying through with their plan to bleed us white while trying to bring Greater Israel into being. And they still need their big, dumb golem to expedite this; but ironically their (((smart boys))) on Wall Street by financializing everything they can in our economy, have comprehensively destroyed our industrial base, the genuine locus of national power, not to mention that this is the underlying pillar of a healthy, evolving, symbiotically balanced technological society.
Your last paragraph is pure truth and a perfect summary of why our greatest allies have ultimately been kicked out of every country of substance for the last number of centuries. Eventually enough of our goy countrymen will arrive at that conclusion. Unfortunately much pain and suffering must come to see it through.
man I live in deep red small town america, probably 9-1 “republican” here (and few blacks obv, there’s a reason I moved here) and I was in the gun store last week talking about how Israel had hosed everything and we had gone to war for Israel, etc.
Only the really old boomers think Israel is worth anything (they can’t be argued with, they just “believe” it).
“Conservatives” are gonna stay home in November, why should they vote? nothing changes.
“Conservatives are going to stay home in November. Why should they vote?”
Bingo. Trump began his second term with an almost unprecedented groundswell of public support from all parts of the political spectrum. His initial efforts to round up and deport invaders was supported by an overwhelming majority in spite of the Democrat-Communist party and its legacy media propaganda arm trying to portray it as evil and unpopular. Had Trump just stuck to his guns and doubled down on deporting illegals, along with the rest of the domestic agenda he campaigned on, the Pubbies and the actual MAGA movement would be sitting pretty for November.
Instead, he got us into the disastrous war for the satanic Israeli regime, and pretty much abandoned the domestic agenda and the remove the illegals agenda that he campaigned and won on. As a result, his base of support is now fragmented and disillusioned, and the entire MAGA movement has been discredited. And as a result of THAT, we have unabashed and proudly proclaimed Communists now winning local and state elections around the country. Here in Arizona we have politicians running for state and national office on the openly proclaimed agenda of “getting ICE off our streets”.
What we saw last year with the initial (and frankly feeble) attempts to round up illegals is the last of that effort that we will ever see. Trump is not going to use the last two years of his term to attempt any more of that. All of the third world dark skinned, non-Christian, invaders from truly alien cultures that are here now are here to stay. Along with their children, grand-children, and their extended families that are not here just yet.
And when the Democrat Communists win one or both houses of congress either this year or two years from now and very likely the presidency as well, the borders will be thrown wide open again as they were under Biden. And the invasion will continue unabated. And the nation once known as America will become massively overpopulated. And the founding stock of Whites who built this once great nation with their values, their culture, their faith, and their incredibly precious Caucasian DNA, will be a minority in their own homeland. I may not see it, but anyone who is middle aged today will see it in their lifetimes. America as we once her will no longer exist.
It all seems so … deliberate. The Iranians only chanted “Death to America.” The Israelis are in the process of delivering it via their Trumpian Horse.
It should’ve been pretty obvious Trump would end up here. After all, he gave kushner outsized influence in his first term, moved the US embassy to Jerusalem (and generally kissed ass to Israel). The Adelson bought his orange goyim ass with a quarter of a billion dollars (and probably well more than that by now) during his 2024 campaign. Once elected, he filled his cabinet with known neocons and zionists. It’s not as if all the giant, flashing warning indicators weren’t there to be picked up on.
Besides, he did go and kiss the wall; and I hear it tastes like dick (which is definitely the sort of thing the jews would do just to troll the people who show up to publicly humiliate themselves with that stupid ritual). Really, if Iran wanted to do this right, they’d bomb the fuck out of that wall, so that no one could ever go kiss it again, while donning the small hat.
Another great and timely post Arthur. No two ways about it, the Iran war was total stupidity. Just today there was another report of US bombing against Iran over an attack on a Straight runner. This is going to go on and on. tRUMP says he has negotiated as great deal, a beautiful deal, this bestest of all deals. The Iranians shrug and say they didn’t agree to what tRUMP had said.
tRUMP can’t control jewsreal, they just do what the hell ever they please as the own the US congress.
I’m not sure how tRUMP got cowed into this clusterfuck. Some say Nutanyahoo sold him on it, some say it was pay back to Miriam Adelson and tRump’s other Zionist backers, and others say Mossad has the goods on tRUMP.
In the end, if the mid-terms go badly, the Dumbocrats take over, and impeach tRUMP’S ass, he has no one to blame but himself. And it would serve him right for sucking off the jewsreal lobby.
This all confirms what us dissidents already know that no one is coming to save us and voting is fake and gay.
Trump sold us out with the Covidiocy and the summer of George in 2020. Dumb fuck got elected again, didn’t learn a fucking thing, and now has sold us out for Israel.
IMHO, “winning” is the wrong way to look at it. Did Iran militarily defeat the US? Not in the sense that there is no longer an American military? Did AINO defeat Iran? Again, no. Trump brags about defeating Iran’s air force and navy. That is like bragging about Lebron James beating up a midget. Iran still used F-14 for Christ’s sake. Iran didn’t hae a blue water navy.
What I think AINO did was fail, and fail spectaularly, in achieving its goals. IIRC, our goals were to stop Iran nuclear program, regime change, stop their ballistic missle program, defend Israel, and defend the Gulf State. AINO failed all these objectives. AINO absolutely got its ass kicked as far as the navy base in Barhain.
As far as winning vs. losing, I think of it as the first Rocky movie. Rocky didn’t win the fight, but he was still standing at the end of the movie and that made him a hero.
Would you characterise Vietnam as having beat the US, because it sure looked like they did. yes, I heard the old dudes still in the US military in the ‘80s saying, “If we had only bombed harder.”
Iran doesn’t have a blue water navy? So what? It strikes me as them not having imperialist aims. How, exactly, was Iran an existential threat to the US?
What we learn is that if you are are major nuclear power, you have to respect the US’ nuclear triad, aging as it is, because you have an adversary who has already articulated and demonstrated a willingness to resort to a first strike, but the crappy little countries merely need to dig in and apply asymmetretic force and wait for the US to exhaust its expensive, shallow magazines.
When you kick over a hornets nest it’s the hornets who decide when it’s over.
I hate what you have to say about Trump and this situation. It just rankles me when folks blast the ONLY president that would or could pull something like this off. To denigrate an administration that is trying to correct multiple instances of crap policies is worrisome. Can’t all you naysayers just wait a bit before you kick the dead horse?
On the other hand; I wish that things closer to home had been accomplished first. Things like; stop taxing my social security. My gawd man, why should I have to pay taxes on that taxed “entitlement ” again? Another thing; those puzzles that are in country already…there’s no way to eliminate them, eh? Or how about strengthening the voting apparatus and throw some of the cheaters into jail?
Yeah, yeah the administration is trying to secure things “over there” in order to make us more secure here.
But damn, ive been “blood let” for too long and I don’t think that I can hang in there till we get to a comfortable place with those zealots!
In fact I believe that we will NEVER get to a comfortable place with them. Those buggers like living in the way they do and they love the chaos they are causing.
Best thing to do would be to drop a “big one” on that black rock they worship. Do it while they dance around that damn thing.
Which “zealots” do you have in mind? The muslims or the jews? I’m not a big fan of the muslims, particularly the Sunni variety who are responsible for most of the terrorism with which the western nations have had to deal (while avidly importing millions of them to destroy our polities), but the jews?
They’ve been concertedly applying themselves to our destruction for decades (well, make that millennia if you want to be accurate), warping our societies through their consciously instigated moral corruption, their fanatical hatred of Christianity, and their pirating of our societies – governance, legal systems, and economies particularly through the strategem of ruining our currencies, etc., etc. ad nauseam – to serve their sole, yet sedulously obfuscated, interests.
Through this false conflation of our interests with their interests, they have inserted themselves aggressively in the Middle East, and violated the sage advice of George Washington to us to avoid entangling alliances, and this was underpinned through their prior manipulations to foment destructive wars in Europe, not once but twice, and they are striving mightily to do it for a third time. The cuckoo laid its egg in our nest, and having hatched, and worse yet being fed by the bamboozled parents of the actual nestlings, it then pushes those nestlings out. They don’t scruple to employ whatever means to do it, in particular being so heavily implicated in the “migrant” invasions, diluting our people with huge numbers of totally unassimilable aliens, a further extrapolation of their “cuckoos in the nest” strategy.
Can you see this? The hour is late, the noose is tightening around our necks.
Marcus Tullius Cicero warned the ancient Romans about the traitors within, and this advice is still cogent:
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.”
In the very halls of government… That’s where we are.
The “I” in AIPAC doesn’t stand for Iran.
It’s not an imam that owns/owned PornHub.
It’s not Iranians, or Muslims in general who have mastered vulture capitalism and destroyed our industrial capacity. It’s not Muslims writing, directing, and pushing anti-White, anti-Christian, anti-male movies and television. It’s not Persians promoting rap and similar musical degeneracy. It’s not Muslims promoting miscegenation. It’s not Muslims who revel in the idea that Christ is boiling in a vat of human shit for eternity. The lugenpresse isn’t wildly disproportionately owned and controlled by Muslims.
But go ahead and hate whoever you choose. It’s a free country. “Free” so long as you hate approved targets (and yourself, if you’re White).
The biggest threat within the US aren’t Muslims, much less Iranians specifically. But I will agree that the worst and most destabilizing nation in the world begins with an “I” and has a capital city beginning with “T”.
And I have no personal interest in, much less support for, Islam, by the way.
Why are we there at all? I guess Israel needs to expand to Syria and Turkey. Syria, I think they can manage. Turkey? Not a chance.
Which femonds me of an old Cold War 1 joke, adapted here: If Israel attacked Turkey from the rear, would Greece help?
Hahaha!
That said, when it comes to degeneracy, the Greeks take a distant backseat, a remote #2 (oblique poop reference, hah!) to The Best People.
Yeah. How many Greeks have been involved in the mass production, distribution and societal normalization of porn? Probably a few here and there, but they’d be pikers compared to the juice, who revel in promulgating the most disgusting and subversive sexual degeneracy at any opportunity. Sans their influence, the porn industry would still be the marginal, seedy mostly unseen cesspool of shit it was in the pre-internet age.
It also wouldn’t enjoy the sort of legal protections it has received to get out in the open, which occured largely through the jew influenced liberalization of the laws and the judiciary. Free expression or not, it has no legitimate reason for existing. And the true reason for its existence is (and always was) to coarsen and corrupt societal standards and morals, exactly as is now an accomplished fact.
Sorry, I disagree with you.
Turkey will just roll over.
Remember the Marrvi Marmara or however the ship was callled the Turkish send with stuff for the Palestinians in the Gaza strip?
How they yelled how they would break through the jewish blockade and deliver the stuff.
And what happened?
As soon as they were stopped by the jews they did nothing. They meekly stepped aside and let the jews do whatever they wanted to do.
Did they turn their ship into a deathtrap? Were there any suicide bombers on this ship?
Null, nothing.
