Think we all know and agree Trump started this war , a lot of us think and agree he done it to help the puppet master billionaire jews who really have the say where he's concerned , Now we can blame him call him a hero say what we want , I know i've said he's a complete melt , a Charlie Zenakoff who will hit whaen your not looking and quit and cry foul when you hit him back .

But regardless , i somewhat sort of agree with him , I'm open to be corrected , because i'm first to admit i don't know or care too much about world politics , but i break everything down to laymans terms , and i look at it this way .

The states go to war with Iran , oes'nt matter why , they done it , so you have one nation , stands back fires missiles from bases and ships , the other fires them back , so far so good , Now the allies , don't get involved , but the Iranians block the sea route for oil to the rest of the world .

Now , the yanks don't need that oil thats blocked , they got there own , SO why should they risk there ships and there men , when the rest of the world and allies will not , after all they don't need the oil thats not getting through ,

Really by blocking the oil Iran is indirectly , declaring war on everyone who's afffected by the block ,

Am i wrong in my laymans way of simplifying things , should Iran just allow oil has normal and just carry on with there sending missiles drones and whatever to Israel and the USA wherever they can ,

Trump said he has gone easy on Iran and not touched there infrastructure and oil depots because it would take to long for them to rebuild , , Alls i know is if i was at war with Iran thats the first thing i would hit , i would want to cripple them has quick has possible , Aww well funny old world we live in ,

The reason the U.S. hasn't targeted oil infrastructure in Iran is that if they do then the Iranians would consider that the gloves are off and any and all refineries in the Middle East would be fair game and that would impact the world economy way way worse than the current ship targeting in the Strait of Hormuz. You can't build a refinery in a couple of months.

Saudi influence may be even more powerful than Israeli influence, Trump said about the Saudi leader, "I I like him. I may like him too much."

Did I mention the oil? The Saudis hate the Iranians and are pom-pom cheerleading this invasion.

Head of US National Counterterrorism Center resigns, saying he cannot support the war

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2lr40g17kt

The director of the US's National Counterterrorism Center has announced his resignation on social media - saying he "cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran".

Addressing Trump in his resignation letter, Kent says: "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

"Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.

"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives."

That's not how it works. The oil market is global and a disruption will affect prices everywhere. Also it's not like the American oil is owned by the people, it's produced by giant corporations and they will not dole it out to Bob and Jane at cost. Prices are already up and will continue to rise. If Trump really didn't think this would affect the US, why would he threaten his NATO allies to fix the problem he created?

When I lived in the US they raised prices any time there was an issue in the ME, even though the US was an exporter of oil. It’s not like the giant corps that control oil aren’t going to make a big profit off of a war or disruption, even if it impacts their neighbors.

He seems to say that a lot about male autocrats. Maybe he and Lindsey Graham had something going on Epstein Island, which would explain Lindsey’s devotion to Trumpy and war

Trump's off his rocker but no way on earth he wanted this war, seeing it turn pear shaped like this must be absolutely killing him inside because the whole venture goes against everything he's ever said and every political instinct he's ever had. Middle east wars were his number 1 bugbear for decades, he couldnt stop slagging the wars and the presidents who took america into those wars off, he ripped Jeb Bush and the Bush family to absolute shreds on the debate stage over Iraq and Afghanistan, he literally tore them a new one, he basically finished a Bush political dynasty that stretched back a century in one night. All over the subject of middle east wars.
He's clearly been given an Hobson's choice start this war or the world gets to hear what you do to young girls, he's kompramatted up to his fvcking eyeballs.
Israel have got him over a barrel, i strongly suspect Russia have as well.

To be fair RCH, the war in Iran and the US making moves to contain China, these are not all recent concepts . These policies were written by US think tanks decades ago and are available for anyone to read. They literally spell out what they are going to do and the options to achieve this. These decades old papers are all there, online, for anyone to read.

Bush, Clinton, Obama, Bush Jnr, Biden or Trump, it doesn't matter. Trump is just the next guy in line to maintain the continuity of these agendas. Democrat / Republican, Left or Right, it does not matter.

The real fear is that the US Govt and the Corporations behind it, if they cannot maintain this fallacy of Supremacists and hegemony, they would rather burn the world rather than allow anyone else to establish equity, let alone surpassing them, globally.
