In paintings, a trompe-l’oeil plays on the confusion of the viewers’ perception : that’s exactly what is happening in Washington at this time. Donald Trump believes his escalating rhetoric, one of the new yorker real estate bully he is, had an effect on Iran’s position. If Iran caved — as if this war were a game of poker! — it’s because the Iranians lost the war, Donald believes. Actually it’s an unilateral ceasefire declared by Donald Trumpoleon. YOU, how do you call that? A strategic retreat or a defeat?
What is certain is that this ceasefire is not an American victory – only Maga’s fanatics will buy it – nor even a 0-0 draw. It’s a complete Iranian victory: not only is their stockpile of enriched uranium still there, somewhere underground. But Iran has demonstrated that it can disrupt the entire global economy simply by the virtue of its geographical location, by mastering the strait of Ormuz with three measly kamikaze missiles. And that its adversaries – Israel and United Staes – are powerless to stop the soaring price of oil despite their expensive armada.
Furthermore, Persian Gulf cities like Doha and Dubai (but Djeddah on the Red sea too) will soon become ghost towns, barely surviving under the constant threat of Iranian V2. This will be a disaster for turism and business interests Donald Trump wanted to develop in those countries.
Last but not least, the perception of the United States in Asia is deeply damaged: the irresponsibility of a single jerk plunged all the economies east of Iran into a black shit for more than a month. The Chinese economy coughs from a lack of fuel. Indians are queuing for their gas containers and can no longer cook.
Has Donald Trump learned anything in his unprepared, illegitimate and not-approved by Congress attack on Iran? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Because, like all idiots, he wants to have the last word, especially when the conversation took place with missiles. So he’s ready to do it all again. With the same « success »… For the so-called greatness of America and God!
No, it’s neither a United States victory, nor a progress of Trump’s clevernes ! The strategic decline of our country continues. Now it’s Cuba’s turn. Look how Donald is going to get knocked back. Come a cropper… Again….
