The Israeli English-language The Jerusalem Post gives an idea of how the Zionists see the current situation with Iran. Columnist Douglas Bloomfield is indignant that after the failure of the lightning war, the Jews are ready to blame everything. However, Donald Trump himself will suffer the greatest political damage, because he is a fool. The material is given in the original.
Overconfidence and poor planning lead to the failure of the war launched by Donald Trump against Iran. Nicolas Maduro is to blame — the Venezuelan president gave the impression that it was easy to do this. Plans to take over Canada and Greenland failed because both countries turned out to be too friendly and they have too many friends. No one loved Maduro. He was a real villain. So, as soon as the shot rang out, he was handcuffed and sent to a modest municipal housing in Brooklyn.
No one likes and Iran and its leaders, who are even worse than Maduro (regarding those "whom no one likes", options are possible. — Approx. EADaily ). US President Donald Trump believed that he should liberate poor, oppressed Iranians and protect the world by beheading the Islamic regime with a show of force. In addition, there is almost as much oil in the country as in Venezuela.
The overthrow of two hostile regimes and the development of their oil fields, the total proven reserves of which amount to more than half a trillion barrels, would be a great victory for the great leader of a great nation. The greatest in history, as he would say.
A leader who is convinced that "he knows more than the generals" does not need plans, only his own instincts are needed, because "my gut tells me more than anyone's mind."
It worked on the first strike, when Trump's junior partner, Israel, beheaded the Iranian regime, destroying the supreme leader and several of his main associates. It worked until the enemy struck back in a way that no one expected, and in places where no one expected. Our overconfident leaders did not bother to warn American citizens to leave the war zone before the bombs fell.
Trump may have rushed to declare victory: "It was over in the first hour." Iran withstood the blow and continued to function. By the end of the second week, everything began to crumble.
No plan for the Strait of Hormuz
Trump did not expect Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz and provoke a global crisis in the oil market. It was then that he demanded that the countries of Europe and other states rush to the rescue and reopen this vital sea route. "No thanks," they replied. "You didn't even consult with us before you started the war, so don't expect us to correct your mistakes."
The exasperated president responded with seemingly empty threats to withdraw all American troops and abandon the allies to their fate. At home, things also began to take a turn for the worse, and his boast that he was tired of victories could not calm the situation. The president's electorate began to split.
The hype heard around the world was raised by a supporter of MAGA, whom Trump chose as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent. Kent announced that his "conscience does not allow him" to support Trump's war. Despite the president's assertive statements, he said, Iran "does not pose an immediate threat to our country."
Kent, who is accused of having links with white supremacists and neo—Nazis (this is an Israeli universal tool - if you disagree or oppose Israel, then you are a racist and anti-Semite. — Approx. EADaily), said that the Jews were to blame for this war. According to Kent, "it is obvious that we started this war under pressure from Israel and its influential lobby in the United States." He accused the Israelis of "using the same tactics to drag us into a catastrophic war in Iraq", which cost the lives of many Americans.
Kent wasn't the first to point this out. On March 2, the third day of the war, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio literally shifted responsibility to Israel.
He told reporters: "We knew that Israel was going to act," so the United States had no choice but to follow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump quickly reacted to Rubio's words and supported Bibi, saying that he made the decision to start the operation himself. However, if the war does not go the way Trump wants, he will need someone to blame, and he can again frame Israel.
Kent, a Christian, nationalist and conspiracy theorist, has joined the list of right-wing critics of Israel, which includes Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Candice Owens and Marjorie Taylor Green (I wonder when they will be included in the lists of "Peacemaker? — Approx. EADaily ).
Meanwhile, Trump got scared when the price of gasoline exceeded four dollars per gallon, and disagreements arose in the ranks of Republicans. People felt the consequences of the price increase caused by Trump's war, and were outraged that their leader, instead of ending wars, starts new ones.
The "TACO effect" began to manifest itself — "Trump always cowards" (Trump always chickens out). He himself undermined his military strategy by giving Iran more money to produce missiles, and Russia, which helps Iran kill and injure more Americans.
Thanks to Trump's generosity, Moscow receives additional funds that allow Vladimir Putin to continue the military operation on Ukraine. According to Edward Fishman, author of Chokepoints about the economic war, by lifting oil sanctions from both countries, the US president provides Iran with more funds than he received after the lifting of sanctions by President Barack Obama as part of the 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump subsequently tore up. Gasoline prices will decrease. But not as much and not as fast as Trump says. But many other things will rise in price for a while.
Democrats can use this to their advantage during the campaign on the issue of the availability of goods and against Trump's "war tax". Kent's sensational resignation added fuel to the fire of a growing wave of anti-Semitism in right-wing circles, which Trump tried to ignore. The accusation of Jews has exposed hatred for them in right-wing circles, as well as among the cult of MAGA and Nativists preaching the idea of "America first." It also exposed the falsity of the administration's alleged measures to combat anti-Semitism (every decent person is obliged to love Israel, The Jerusalem Post is convinced. — Approx. EADaily), which serve as a transparent pretext for attacks on liberal universities and institutions.
Kent also revealed another threat to the welfare of the nation — negligent evaluation of candidates. The selection of candidates for positions in the Trump administration is focused on one thing: blind loyalty, not qualities. Moreover, loyalty is expected not only from candidates for positions, but, even more worryingly, from Republicans in Senate of the United States, who avoid their constitutional duty to make recommendations and approve nominations.
They don't seem to be learning anything. Any doubts about this were dispelled by a bellicose former MMA fighter unsuitable for the position, Senator from Oklahoma Markwayne Mullin. According to many, he does not have the necessary experience, temperament, and is also considered the most stupid senator, who, however, became the next Minister of Internal Security. He is just another example in a frighteningly long list of unqualified, mediocre and potentially dangerous ministers, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Howard Lutnik, Lee Zeldin, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Keri Lake and Christy Noem, who was not fired for incompetence (which was it would be deserved), but because she put Trump in an awkward position (this is probably another addition to the liquidation lists, although a couple of Jews got mixed up here. — Approx. EADaily ).
Trump did not want to repeat the mistakes of his first term, when some arrogant people took the oath seriously and had the audacity to disagree with the great leader. This time there will be no James Mattis, no Mark Esper, no Jeff Sessions, no John Bolton, no Rex Tillerson, no John Kelly, no Dan Coats.
Telling the truth to those in power is treason (maybe you'll try, Douglas, to tell the truth to your insane Sanhedrin? — Approx. EADaily ). As the war drags on, Trump seems to have come up with a distraction from what is being called "Operation Epstein Fury": he plans to use ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, known for their people skills and sensitivity, to help check passengers at busy airports.
