Not Just Evil But Stupid
As an American, I would like to think well of my country. But thanks to Donald Trump, we are now wondering if 175 Iranian schoolgirls were slaughtered by Jews as a Purim blood sacrifice to Yahweh — or slaughtered by an Affirmative Action-American as a sacrifice to Moloch or maybe Caliban. As an American taxpayer, I would like my government not to make me culpable in war crimes. But America is not ruled by and for Americans.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House, he faced strong political opposition and had a limited window of opportunity to fix America’s problems, the biggest of which are non-white immigration and anti-white discrimination. If Trump had been serious, sincere, and smart, he would have set up the State Department with the equivalent of an “Out of Office” Auto Reply and basically ignored foreign affairs. He could have maintained peace simply by being polite and predictable. He could have increased deterrence simply by purging the military of anti-whiteness. He could have focused on the border and deportations, which would have raised wages and lowered rents, traffic, and crime for his electorate. He could have battled the courts and Congress to give his reforms the force of law. Then maybe, just maybe, his party would have done well in the midterms and given him two more years with even greater freedom to fix things.
Sadly, Trump had other priorities.
We are now seven days into Trump’s three-day Special Military Operation in Iran, and the dust of the bomb sites and smoke of burning refineries is nothing compared to the fog of lies and confusion coming out of the White House.
The New York Times offers a very plausible story of how this war got started: Israel wanted it, and nobody in Washington felt comfortable saying “no,” which for the Ancient Greeks was the mark of a slave. Since the Times is systematically biased toward Israel and Jewish interests more broadly, I find this plausible because it is, in effect, an admission against interest. Marco Rubio stated that the US was dragged into the war by Israel. Trump, however, has contradicted this, saying he was the one who dragged Israel in.
But what is the goal of this war? Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear weapons program was destroyed, both shortly after the 2025 Twelve Day War and then again at the 2026 State of the Union speech. This year, we were told that Iran posed an imminent threat. In fact, we were told several times since 1995 that Iran is weeks or days away from a nuclear bomb. But the US congress was told that there was no imminent threat. In fact, there is no credible evidence that Iran has had a nuclear weapons program for more than 20 years. And no, nothing Israel says should be trusted.
Is the goal to destroy a non-existent weapons program, or to change the Iranian regime? We were told that this is not a regime change war, but Trump killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials at the start of the war. Shockingly, this “Plucky Tomboy Kills King of the White Walkers and Instantly Destroys his Zombie Army” strategy did not work with Iran.
Time and again, Trump has urged the Iranian populace to overthrow the regime. Shockingly, very few Iranians wish to side with invaders who massacre schoolchildren to protest the Ayatollahs’ . . . dress codes.
Pete Hegseth boyishly stated in a Pentagon press conference: “This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change and the world is better off for it.”
Trump has also stated that he personally wants a say in who the next leader of Iran is, which definitely would require regime change.
In a new MAGA firmware update, we’ve also been told that now there’s nothing wrong with regime change wars as such, only badly conducted ones. (As we will see, this is probably the most stupidly conducted war in American history.) As Endeavour observed, “The new MAGA cope is that when Trump said ‘peace’, he didn’t mean no new wars, but ‘peace through strength’, meaning new wars.”
I don’t believe for a minute that the United States fears a nuclear Iran. I don’t for a minute think that the United States wishes to replace the current Iranian regime with a liberal democracy. These are just dishonest pretexts to sell this war to gullible goyim. My only doubt is whether Trump & Co. are among the gullible goyim, or if they are fully culpable traitors lying America into another war.
The real purpose of this war is Israel’s purpose, which is simply to smash up a powerful regional enemy state, just as they did Iraq and Syria. In short, the goal is millions dead, millions displaced (Europe being their principal destination), millions of lives blighted, historical treasures plundered or destroyed, and America further stained with villainy.
And if Iran is destroyed, Turkey is next.
The real goal of this war is just pure evil, which is business as usual for ZOG. What surprises me is how naked the evil is. Netanyahu and his henchmen — Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, etc. — are so stupid and cynical that they aren’t even trying to present a coherent and persuasive case for this war. Unlike the Gulf War and the Iraq War, there has been no serious attempt to sell this war to the public or the Congress.
Of course the Congress is an Israeli-occupied territory just like the White House. Congress want what Israel wants, and they want Trump to act unilaterally, so they don’t have to vote on anything, which would make them accountable to the electorate.
How can you have checks and balances when the whole damned system is corrupt?
Every public opinion poll indicates that only 20% of the US populace wants this war: basically Jews and Evangelical Christian Boomer Fox News watchers. (In fact, it is the war with the lowest popular support at its outset in all of US history.) When Tucker Carlson pointed this out to Mike Huckabee, Huckabee noted that US policy is not dictated by polls. No, in fact it is dictated by Israel.
But the stupidity doesn’t end there.
Given the lack of clarity about the war’s purpose, of course there is no clarity about the war’s duration. If you don’t know where you are going, how will you know once you’ve arrived? On the first day of the war, Trump hinted that it could last “two or three days.” Since then, the frame has been expanded to “four weeks, or less,” then “four to five weeks,” then “far longer,” then “forever.” So much for “no more forever wars.”
Nor is there any clarity on how the war will end. Trump has hinted at talks. But the United States has now attacked Iran twice under the flag of truce. Why then would anyone sit down to negotiate with Trump? Perhaps Trump is realizing this, because today he Boomer Capped “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” on Truth Social. But is America prepared to pay the price of forcing Iran to surrender unconditionally? That would require a much larger mobilization than the Iraq War, with “boots on the ground,” and yes, Trump has both affirmed and denied the possibility of a ground invasion.
Now, some of you might be thinking that the US President is not obligated to offer a coherent justification, strategy, and timeline in a war. After all, the enemy would be able to act upon that information.
But here’s the thing. Nobody believes Trump and his team are being cagey. This isn’t a performance. If they think it is clever to look confused, vacillating, and incompetent, that in itself is confused and incompetent.
US global power depends largely on projecting strength and competence. It is never a good idea to test them, however, lest they be found wanting. Putin’s SMO proved to the world that Russia’s military might was mostly bluff. Now Trump may be doing the same thing to America’s military reputation. And if you hate the American empire, just wait until it is no longer containing conflicts in places you’ve never even heard of all around the globe.
The best argument that Trump was counting on this Special Military Operation lasting a few days is that, apparently, that’s all he had planned for.
- The US did not have enough interceptors in place for more than a week or two of Iranian barrages. Those interceptors are now running out, while Iranian drones and missiles are not. Now Trump is removing interceptors from the Far East, which is actually of far greater geopolitical importance to the United States.
- The US did not have personnel and materiel in place sufficient for a long conflict.
- Even though Iran expressly stated they would strike any neighboring state with US bases, this threat was not taken seriously. Soldiers were evacuated from bases to hotels, which then became targets. Embassies are now targets. Their staffs may soon fall to Benghazi-type incidents in Iraq and other places as disorder spreads.
- The US apparently did not line up European cooperation before this attack. Trump’s Offense Offensive in Europe is sure paying dividends now.
- Trump insulted Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday then Thursday called on Ukraine to help deal with Iranian Shaheed drones. Brilliant statesmanship, that.
- Trump has claimed that he will bring Iranian collaborators to America, like Afghan collaborators. Of course, that presupposes that they will lose. In that case, frankly, I hope the Iranians kill all these people. I don’t want a single Iranian collaborator on American soil.
- I don’t think these fools even have the faintest inkling of the economic costs of a protracted war.
- I don’t think they even bothered to ponder the consequences if the US is humiliated by Iran. Surely, at that point, China will be revising its plans to seize Taiwan, which could trigger the collapse of the AI bubble that has accounted for nearly half of the economic “growth” in Trump’s first year in office.
- The news that France is expanding its nuclear deterrent and that Poland will pursue its own nuclear deterrent indicates that our allies are no longer counting on American hegemony.
Trump seems to be panicking. Now he is offering red meat to his betrayed MAGA base, in the form of the “SAVE AMERICA ACT”:
But Trump’s game is off: he telegraphed how he plans to betray us by adding to the bullet point, “No transgender mutilation surgery for children” the clause “without the express written approval of the parents.” Four hours later, he snipped off the offending clause with no explanation.
Of course the very same shamelessness might be our salvation. Trump could just pivot on a dime, declare victory in Iran, and go home. It is pathetic, but this is America’s best hope right now.
