A TRILLION DOLLARS IS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY:
What If More Than One Trillion Dollars Of Your Money Is Held By A Bank In Jeopardy?
We’re Not Hearing Much Of This . . . Not Yet Anyways, But Japan, the World’s Third Largest Bond Holder Next to America & China, which Currently Holds Slightly More than One Trillion Dollars ($1.13-Trillion) in American Bonds, Making Japan America’s Largest Bond Holder . . . Is Facing A Severe Currency Crisis.
What Happens If Japan Has To Dump American Bonds To Save Their Own Economy?
NO NATION ON PLANET-EARTH LIVES OR EXISTS ON AN ISLAND:
The Flutter Of The Wing Of A Butterfly . . . Disturbs A Distant Star.
LESS THAN A YEAR AGO I WROTE THE FOLLOWING . . .
According To Newton’s Third Law Of Motion . . . For Every Action, There Is An Equal & Opposite Reaction.
Nothing Happens in a Vacuum, and since we Don’t Live in a Vacuum – For Whatever Is Done – Expect A Consequence.
PERHAPS . . . THIS IS WHY HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF:
The World Has Become So Interconnected, that in Some Form or Other, Whether we Like-It or Not, We Are To Some Extent Living With A One World Government, Where the Respect & Adherence to Global Rules & Regulations are Vital to Keep the World Order in Balance.
When The World Order Is Out Of Balance . . . There Is Often Poverty, Pain & War.
IRAN FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE FRAGILITY OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY:
Iran Is Challenging The World Order, which if Left Unchecked, will Result in Regional & Global Mayhem . . . Whether Economically or Militarily – Either Way . . . The End-Result Scenario Will Not Be Good.
The Western World Should Have Gone To War With Iran Many Years Ago.
I Understand that Iran Has the Wherewithal to Destroy Much of the Gulf’s Oil & Gas Industry Right at its Source, Just as Saddam Hussein did During Saddam’s War Against Kuwait, When Iraqi Troops Set Kuwait’s Oil Wells Ablaze.
Iran Has Made It Clear . . . If They Go Down – The Whole Gulf Goes Down With It.
But This Time, it Won’t Just be the Oil Infrastructure of One Small Country . . . This Time It Could Be The Whole Shebang, and More than Just a Bunch of Oil Wells, since Iran Has the Means to Go After all Manner of Gulf Infrastructure . . . Including Oil & Gas Wells, Pipelines, Refineries, Airports, Roads, Bridges, Water Desalination Plants . . . And More.
If You Think Iran Won’t Do-It . . . Think About the 30-50 Thousand Unarmed Young Iranian People the Mullahs & IRGC Ordered to be Slaughtered . . . Just For Demonstrating.
WE SHOULD HAVE STRUCK WHEN THE IRON WAS HOT:
After Two Weeks Of Heavy Bombing, and Giant Aggressive Cross Country Iranian Street Demonstrations – The Ayatollahs & The IRGC Were On The Ropes . . . So What Did We Do?
Trump Suspended The Bombing, which Gave the Regime Time to Re-Coup, Re-Organize, Re-Strategize, Re-Harden their Defenses, Re-Develop their Nuclear Assets, Re-Deploy their Missiles & their Drones, while Restocking their Munitions (Missiles & Drones) Domestically . . . Probably With The Help Of China, Russia & North Korea.
NOW WHAT?
If Trump Does Nothing . . . I can Easily Imagine the Gulf Arab States Bending a Knee to Iran, Forcing Trump to Make a Deal on the Strait of Hormuz, Agreeing to Pay a Toll to Iran & Most Probably Oman for Safe Passage through the State of Hormuz and Into the Arabian Sea from the Red Sea (Houthis), Since The Gulf States Are All About Money.
But Trump Can’t Do Nothing, since Doing Nothing Gives Iran the Type of Victory that will Establish the Mullahs and the IRGC as the Regional Power of the Gulf, Eventually Leading to a Shiite Power-Force throughout the Middle East . . . Offering an Even Greater Threat to the United States of America and to Israel, The Only True Democracy Within The Middle East, And That Part Of Africa & Asia.
If Trump Does Decide To Go Full Military . . . It Won’t Be Won In The Air.
No War Has Ever Been Won By Sea Or Air . . . It Always Comes Down to Boots on the Ground, Unless you want to Talk About the Nukes Dropped on Japan to End WWII . . . In This Day & Age – That Possibility Is Unconscionable To Even Consider.
IS THERE A GOOD ANSWER? I KNOW CAPITULATION IS NOT:
Is America Prepared for a Long-Protracted War in the Middle East, that Could see No Shortage of Terror Attacks Within the United States? Are The People Of America Ready For This Type Of Sacrifice In Blood & Treasure?
Iran Is Not Afghanistan – Iran Is A Modern, Wealthy, Sophisticated Country.
THAT WAS THEN . . . AND THIS IS NOW:
America Should Have Struck When The Iron Was Hot . . . Now What?
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Trump had our team on the 5 yard line with goal to go and he pulled the team off the field. He blew it, PERIOD. He’s ignorant, naive, narcissistic, and absolutely unsuitable to be Commander in Chief.
Iran will show that ”boots on the ground” will be worse for the USA than the Viet Nam debacle. Iran is more than ready. The Hormuz strait has a fibre optic cable in it that connects the world banking system to the heavily financed mid east OPEC countries. Iran will finish off the world’s economies by destroying this. Iran can only be dealt with by being as sneaky and conniving as they are.
Amen. And, at the moment, Iran is winning this “dust-up.” We should have pushed it over goal line when the iron was hot. America is “too wrapped up in our underwear” (i.e, 2-4 year election cycle) while the Muslims are looking 100 to 500 years in the future and they have no fear of violence, killing & death.
Iran a modern and sophisticated country? More like a dark ages, Moslem Religious Cult Country!
Completely agree with you. DJT screwed up listening to his pacifying advisors instead of going pedal to the metal. You’re correct. Had he went full steam ahead the war possibly could have been won by air power without a land incursion. Instead, now a major land incursion is needed and major blood shed is very probable. D.B. is correct.
Rubio had the right idea, just the wrong way to do it. Cut off the IRGC from all land resupply routes. Bomb the highways, bridges, and RR bridges that connect the IRGC to the Stans to the North, Pakistan, Iraq, and Turkey. Destroy all of the ports along the Caspian Sea. If the IRGC cannot generate trade to pay its thugs, they will soon be thugless. Send in special forces to work with the reliable citizen forces to train and arm them. This would be a true siege.
“YOU ONLY SEE WHAT YOU KNOW” An expensive exercise… Yet remarkable intelligence secured Beats sitting ships rusting in Norfolk Virginia. * Had Trump buttoned up with unnecessary comments throughout this … Maybe… the Iranian regime would come closer to relinquish it’s shameful deeds on good it’s citizen’s. Now defined politics react in USA. **NEVER TROOPS ON THE GROUND..!
I don’t call Iran “a modern, sophisticated country.” They may have wealth thanks to obama’s regime, but they don’t have leadership that wants to fairly govern their country. They have crazed men who pretend to be religious and are protected by a thug murdering army of monsters. They are a malignant cancer that needs to be permanently removed from our world. And soon.
