Stupidity Got America in to the Iran War. That Same Stupidity Will Prolong it.

Anyone else see the supreme irony in DonOld desperately trying to claw his way out of his and Bibi Netanyahu's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure' to a position that would look at least as "favorably" as the deal that Obama had struck with the Iranians?

"After the House voted to direct Donald Trump to end the Iran war, he exploded in fury at the four Republicans who turned against him, terming them “grandstanders” who “should be ashamed of themselves.” 

This comes as The New York Times reports that extensive internal war games among military officials established that Iran would react to an attack by closing the Strait of Hormuz—which Trump ignored.

And incredibly, officials just leaked to The Atlantic that Trump is privately “irritated” by commentary casting his emerging framework as weaker than Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal. Trump also wants a way to argue that Iran “accepted terms from him that Obama never managed to extract.” We talked to former National Security Council veteran Emily Horne, author of the Spin Class Substack. We discuss how all those leaks themselves signal Trump’s growing weakness, why his demand for a “better” deal than Obama’s may be hopeless, and whether that leaves us any way out of this fiasco."

 

There was good reason that all previous American presidents, Republican and Democrat, steadfastly refused Israel's invitation to the 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

But then Dumbass DonOld came along. 

And now, because DonOld is an incompetent, buffoonish, corrupted, and arrogant dumbass who ignored the advice of America's own military and intel experts against joining Israel's war, here we are, on the precipice of a worldwide economic recession and energy shortage, and it was all predicted by wiser, more thoughtful people, the very kind of people and public servants who Drumpf and Hegseth routinely purge from this administration and military.

I have every reason to believe that the Iran's leaders have no intention of giving DonOld the satisfaction of announcing a 'deal' that was on par with Obama's JCPOA deal with the Iranian regime.  Why would they?  Contrary to DonOld's oafish boasting, the Iranians hold all the worldwide economic cards right now, and they essentially have Drumpf's flabby, diapered ass over a barrel.
