SCORE A WIN FOR IRAN . . .
After A Solid Month Of Strategic Bombings, Leadership Decimated, Months of Threats, Multiple Unenforced Deadlines, Tens of Thousands of People Dead, Infrastructure Demolished, Navy Sunk, Air Force Non-Existent, Air Defense Useless, and a Crippling Blockade . . . Iran Is Still Calling The Shots.
In The Arab (Persian) Moslem World . . . That’s A Win.
The Strait Of Hormuz Is Not Opened . . . And Will Only Be Opened (Maybe) With The Blessing Of Iran. In Oil Rich Canada Today, which Lacks Pipelines because of More than a Decade of Canadian Liberal Governance – Where Anne & I Live – Gas Now Costs Between $9 To $10 A Gallon ($2 A Liter Plus).
We Drive A Ford F-250 With The 7.3 Liter Motor, which we Need to Haul our 41-Foot Fifth Wheel RV, and Under the Best of Conditions, When Not Hauling, We Are Lucky To Average Around 12-Miles Per Gallon.
At Approximately $400 Per Tank . . . Anne & I Measure Each Trip We Take by the Gallon, which Means when We Shop – We Load-Up with Groceries so We Don’t Have to Make a Separate Shopping Run.
Anne & I Don’t Eat Out Much, We Prefer to Eat at Home & Entertain our Friends Over a Home-Made Meal . . . But Also – Now, because of this Cost of Gas, we Plan the Fewest Meals-Out as Possible, Partly because we Don’t Like to Eat-Out, Partly Because Restaurant Food Has become Unaffordable, and I Cook Better . . . But To A Great Extent . . . The Cost of Gas to and from a Restaurant . . . Is Almost As Expensive As The Meal.
I’m Complaining . . . But I Also Understand – If Sacrificing to Pay for the Cost of Expensive Fuel, which Also Includes Expensive Groceries – Plus-Plus-Plus, to Keep a Mad Regime like Iran from Having Nuclear Weapons . . . Makes The Social Pain Worthwhile.
But . . . If a Deal is Going to be Made with Iran, that Does Not Cripple the Ruling Mob to Force Regime Change, All The Bombings, Deaths, Destruction & Bravado Will Be Worth Crap.
How Many Times Have We Heard From Donald Trump, How the US Air Force “Obliterated” Iran’s Nuclear Program, Only to Hear Today, from American Military Intelligence & Mossad (Israel’s Intelligence) . . . That Iran’s Nuclear Program Is Not Obliterated . . . And Could Actually Be Started-Up Within A Year.
First You Say You Do Then You Don’t . . . Then You Say You Will Then You Won’t . . .
What Happened To Regime Change . . . Telling the Iranian People to Hold-On, because Help is on the Way? What Happened To . . . We Will Only Accept Full Surrender? What Happened To . . . The Dozen or More Deadlines & Red-Lines that Iran Could Not Cross? And What About . . . We Will Bomb You Like No One Was Ever Bombed Before, and Destroy all your Infrastructure . . . Including Roads, Bridges, Airports and your Oil Industry?
IF YOU ARE CONFUSED – DON’T BE . . . BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE:
And Now Trump Orders Israel To Stand-Down . . . Because Trump Is Going To Make A Deal.
What Deal Could Trump Actually Make That Satisfies All His Red-Lines, Other than Iran’s Full Surrender, since Iran will Never be Anything but a Moslem Terrorist Jihadi State, with the Sole Goal of Converting the Entire World to Shiite Islam, Unless Somehow, The Ayatollahs Are Completely Defeated Along With The IRGC?
What About Israel & The Gulf States, Particularly the UAE, which was Bombarded by Iranian Missiles & Drones? Don’t They Have A Say? And What About the People of Iran who Expected a Real Shot at Liberation from the Horrors of Iranian Islam . . . Because Trump Said-So?
I Learned As A Teenager . . . Don’t Throw The First Punch If You Don’t Intend To Throw The Last.
There Are No Shortages Of Anti-Semites Like Tucker Carlson, who are Doing their Damned Best to Convince the American People that Netanyahu (Israel) Forced Trump into Going to War Against Iran, In-Spite of Every Trump Statement that Going to War Against Iran was an American Initiative.
In Every Speech Trump Has Given Since The War Began Against Iran, Trump Barely Gave any Credit or Mention of Israel, For Israel’s Participation . . .
So One Has To Come Away With The Understanding, that No-One Forced Trump to do Anything, Especially when We Consider the Multiple Times Trump Publicly ORDERED Netanyahu to Stand-Down . . . Once Against Iran (January). Once Against Hamas (Current). Once Against Hezbollah (Lebanon – Current) . . . And the Time Trump Publicly Forced (Humiliated) Netanyahu to Apologize to the Leader of Qatar Over the Telephone, As Both Men (Trump & Netanyahu) Spoke From The White House . . . Because Israel Bombed A Hamas Headquarter In Doha.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHESS MY ASS:
Not To Be Flippant . . . In My World, There Is No Such Thing As Three-Dimensional Chess.
The Progress Of The War Against Iran Is A Dog’s Breakfast . . . How it will Turn-Out Isn’t Something Anyone can Predict, Other Than, if the Iranian Regime Remains Standing, And As A Result, the Negotiations (Deal-Making) Between Trump and the IRGC Continues Ad-Infinitum . . . The First American Bomb That Hit Iran Wasn’t Worth The Fuel To Get It There.
If You Can Think Of A Positive Outcome To This Disastrous War – Let Me Know.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

I completely agree with your editorial. If Trump reaches a deal, then Iran wins no matter what is agreed upon, period. It has to be an all out surrender as Trump previously stated.
Trump gets his jollys from pushing people around. Like he pushed Israel to stop its existential fights against Hamas and Hezbollah so HE could A) push Bibi around and B) take credit for “ending a war” HA! He’s a narcissistic, glory-hungry man-child who’s surrounded by yes-men (and women) who lavish praise upon him constantly – exactly what he needs most. He’s finally getting his Soviet-style military parade too. It just happens to be in the Middle East. I voted for DeSantis in the FL Primar
Where does Trump get off bullying Bibi? Israel’s IDF and Mossad are more adept at war than America’s vaunted trillion-dollar military machine, which hasn’t won a war since 1945. I’m MAGA through and through, but Trump’s big mouth is as dangerous as the Enemy Within. IMO this so-called war is unwinnable. The mountainous terrain is treacherous and hides huge caches of deadly armaments, and the country’s IRGC thugs are prepared to butcher thousands of Iranians in order to repel any invaders.
Trump deals with the current Iranian terrorists regime he is dumber than a bag of rocks.
Shalom. You are correct. The only way to win this is to send spies in and then take out all the Iranian government hierarchy. ALL of them.
Flood Iran with cheap drones
If Trump is dumber than a bag of rocks – then the rest of the world is dumber than a mountain of rocks.
As I have written before, Trump is interested only in being the master of the deal. So far, I see the citizens of Iran left out to dry. Where are the arms drops? Why are there ceasefires that have yet to be such? How many times have the IRGC lied, pushed for time while the useful idiots of the West state that Trump is losing. Well, if the IRGC survives, all is lost, esp. for the Persians. Trump does not understand the mindset of the IRGC, hence he will fail everyone. At best, a Pyrrhic victory.
H, hope you are able to ride your m/bike w/side car 4 groceries. My grocery/week not long ago $50, yesterday $170, no meat. Trump is a meglomaniac & needs to be stopped from continuing a no-win war. I think there is more ‘Iran’ underground than above it. Let Iran build its nuke, They’ll do it anyway. It will be brought out sometime. With todays satellite technology could be spotted & knocked out before being launched. Trump is destroying the world not a thousands year old Persian Empire.
At least Trump is stepping up to Iran at the risk of the GOP losing the midterms. Obama sent pallets of cash; Biden did nothing. Former presidents did nothing. You are dealing with Muslim nut jobs that don’t care if they are killed; they get 72 virgins. There is no easy way, and Trump is doing the best he can in dealing with these crazies.
