There are several points to consider when discussing Operation Epstein and Donnie Dementia’s determination to stage his very own Wag the Dog operation against Iran.
First and formost is his dismissive, callous way of anticipating additional U.S. casualties:
“Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more, but we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case.” The president also told The New York Times on Sunday that projections from the Pentagon suggest U.S. casualties could be “quite a bit higher” than what has already been seen.
Go to the 1:11 mark on this disgusting video to hear him actually say it without a hint of empathy or emotion–almost as though he was reading it from a teleprompter (which he was because he could never on his best day recite that many words spontaneously and consecutively without falling down).
“That’s the way it is”? That sorry-ass bastard.
It simply matters little to him how many American military personnel or Iranian school children die so long as it deflects attention away from those cursed Epstein files. That is the FIFA Peace Prize winner we’re dealing with. The chairman of the Board of Peace (membership fee: $1 billion) has bombed eight separate nations in his first year back in the Oval Bubble.
The obvious response to all this is for Donnie Jr., Eric, Barron and Jared Kushner to sign-up, suit-up and ship out to the friendly sand-soaked amenities of the Mideast to join in celebratory regime change. To that suggestion, a regular reader added, “Why limit the faux soldiers to family? [Stephen] Miller? [Steve] Bannon? [Pete] Hegseth? When he has no one to hold his hand or any other appendage-then he might cry uncle.”
Thom Hartmann added in today’s Hartmann Report, “Given that Baron, Don Jr, and Eric Trump all apparently suffer from hereditary bone spurs and no Trump has ever served as a “loser” or “sucker” in our military, it’s unlikely this war will mean anything other than profit-making opportunities for the Trump children.”
During the presidency of Barack Obams, ol’ Cankle Ankles took numerous potshots at him, claiming that should he (Obama) encounter political problems, he’d start a war with Iran:
“In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.” (2011)
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective…” (2011)
“@BarackObama will attack Iran in the not too distant future because it will help him win the election.” (2012)
“Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin — watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.” (2012)
“I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!” (2013)
“Remember what I said about @BarackObama attacking Iran before the election…” (2012)
How ironic–and at the same time, moronic.
But just in case you need any other reminder of the current morass the fat-ass has foisted:

A Now or Never “window of opportunity” favorable for the partition of Iraq and Iran to establish an Independent Kurdish State
Kurdish Independence a now or never proposition. Russia tied down in Ukraine. China occupied with Taiwan and Japan + facing a domestic economic meltdown similar to Japan’s lost generation. The collapse of the Islamic revolution in Iran with a US/Israeli victory presents the best opportunity to partition Iran into an Independent Kurdish state.
A US and Israel in the region could weaken Iranian influence, potentially emboldening Kurdish movements in Iraq into a unified Kurdish Republic partitioned from these two States. The proposition of Kurdish independence as a “now or never” opportunity quite compelling.
The Kurds stand today as the largest stateless nation post WWI. Iraqi Kurdistan already has a recognized autonomous region with its own institutions. Rojava in northern Syria has had de facto self‑rule, though under constant military and diplomatic pressure. External arming of Kurdish groups in Iran is already being discussed. A unified Kurdish Republic carved from Iraq + Iran a best case scenario: a clean, US/Israel‑backed partition into a large, unified Kurdish state.
The collapse of the USSR in 1991 and the hostility of the EU during President Trump’s first term, coupled by attempts by Pelosi and Biden to bring the Ukraine into the Nato alliance opens the possibility that President Trump might strike a deal to pull the US out of Nato in return for Putin’s support for an Independent Kurdish state.
Long-standing defense treaties started under the Wilson government in the past Century. The ‘Art of the Deal’ where Russia would recognize an Independent Kurdish state in Iraq and Iran partitioned based upon the precedents of Poland partitioned. Long standing Arab/Muslim terrorism has its consequences. A new Independent Kurdish Republic would not sit directly upon any Russian border.
Iraq and Iran failed states with years of internal anarchy and political chaos following the 1st and 2nd Gulf Wars. The initial partition of Iraq and Iran would leave a buffer zone between it and the borders of Turkey. Turkey did not fight the current Israel/US war with Islamic Iran. Consequently this partition does not concern nor involves Turkey. This partition no different than the British partition which established the Independence of Kuwait. That partition deprived Iraq access to the Sea.
The comparison between U.S. membership in NATO and treaties with Indian Nations throughout the 19th century highlights important similarities in the legal framework by which the United States engages with international and domestic agreements. Article 5 of the NATO treaty commits members to collective defense, meaning an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. Post collapse of the USSR in 1991 terminates NATO based upon the collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
Treaties made with Indian Nations similar to NATO treaties, these agreements. The precedent of the US Supreme Court vs Andrew Jackson ‘Trail of Tears’ stands. An international treaty does not compare to the basic law of the US Constitution. Despite the concept of treaties addressed in Article VI of the Constitution, the American Civil War determined in the case of the Commerce Clause also part of the US Constitution, that the Federal Government could regulate intra-state trade and commerce. The classic example: the SC Roe vs Wade ruling.
Political branches can break treaties when they no longer serve strategic US interests. Only revisionist history classifies Indian nations as ‘domestic agreements’. Only later with the virtual extermination of the Indian tribes did these treaties become classified as ‘domestic agreements’.
Trump 2.0 stands upon the foundation that foreign diplomacy operates on deception. European states failure to meet their required obligations to maintain the NATO alliance in good faith, also has undermined that post WWII treaty establishe by the Truman Administration. The Nato treaty does not compare to the 10 Commandments carved in stone.
Nato a post WWII treaty that exists merely as water under the bridge. The founding Fathers opposed making entangling alliances with Europe. Native nations only treated as “domestic dependents nations” to support the US manifest destiny declarations. Indian state prior to the conquest of from Sea to Sea had their own militaries, economies, and alliances no different than do the European states – despite joining or leaving the EU alliance – today. For example: the US and Britain had a strong alliance during the two European Civil Wars euphanistically called WWI & WWII. The Soviet victory over the Nazis refers to that war as ‘the Great Patriotic War’!
Trump Derangement Syndrome started with Russia-gate and the inside traitor Nancy Pelosi attempts to impeach the President. But a lot of water has flown under the bridge following the two assassination attempts upon the life of Trump. Trump 2016 faced a divided GOP with a very strong Neo Con “opposition”. Trump 2.0 leads the GOP. Power and interest ultimately decide whether Treaties endure or collapse. The U.S. has a long history of breaking solemn commitments when it chooses. Bottom line: post WWI the Allies failed to establish Kurdish Independence.
Approaching the climax of the US-Israel war against Shiite fanatics ruling Iran.
Venezuelan compares to Kharg Island. Just as the Cuban house of cards collapsed with the US capture of the Venezuelan oil fields so too China’s house of cards will collapse after US marines capture and occupy Kharg Island. Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export terminal, critical for the country’s economy. It handles a significant portion of Iran’s oil exports, making it central to both domestic revenue and international trade partnerships. Approximately 90% of the oil refined and sold by Iran is exported to China through Kharg Island.
This relationship underscores China’s role as a major player in the Iranian oil market, providing Iran with a vital economic lifeline amid sanctions and trade restrictions imposed by the West. Just as Communist Castro Cuba will most likely become a US protectorate territory like Puerto Rico. In similar fashion should US Marines capture Kharg Island, this will terminate the US/Israeli War against Iran.
Iranians themselves must choose their own government. But loss of Kharg Island will cripple the Iranian economy like as Cubans experienced when Us Troops captured the President Maduro of Venezuela in one day. The collapse of Venezuela’s anti-US government directly impacted the economy of Cuba. Just as the collapse of the Shiite fanatic government of Iran will directly impact the economy of China.
