How do you call a situation like this: you’re driving your gleaming-brand-new-4×4 in some nice country pathway and then around a bend you’ve to cross a big muddy puddle, you think it will be easy, you go straight and there the wheels are spinning, the steering is becoming vague, and suddenly it’s too late, you’ve loose control : anything you do will be worse than doing something? So you’re trapped…
That’s the US army situation in the Persian Gulf today, after only two months of war. The United States failed to seize the advantage at the beginning and they are now in dire straits. I’m not ashamed to call this situation a quagmire, much to Mr. Hegseth’s chagrin.
The Middle East conflagration, the 13 American soldiers killed in the conflict, the civilian casualties in Iran, the cost of 25 billions dollars for ammunitions patiently crafted which will missed somewhere else, the breakout of a global economic crisis: a series of catastrophes the world could have done without. A series of catastrophes triggered by the incompetence of a bunch of clowns in Washington.
There’s only own way to get out of this situation: put the wheels on something solid and rollback… Admit the defeat, cut off one or two heads and rollback. Now!
