Green light red light in the Strait.

 


"War, what is it good for? Absolutely, nothing" ~ Edwin Starr~ 

Before Trump's war, also known as Operation Epstein, most Americans would have thought that the Strait of Hormuz was just the name of a bad Disney movie.  I am pretty sure that the Trump team did not think this war with Iran thing through, because from the way things are shaping up, they never heard of it either. If they did, they would understand how important that tiny stretch of water is to the world's commerce, and how easy it is for the Iranians to control it. 

Trump is dying to get an off ramp to end his ridiculous and pointless war, but the Iranians do not seem willing to give it to him. This past Friday he declared that the Strait of Hormuz is officially open, and that all ships will be allowed to pass through, thanks to the blockade being created by the mighty United States Navy.  But just this evening Iran announced its own blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. So sadly, those gas prices will not be going down anytime soon.  Reports are now coming out that the Strait of Hormuz is in "absolute chaos ", because Iran is once again firing on ships. 

Autocrats like Trump, of course, love wars. They don't care about the cost of human lives or what it will cost in terms of actual dollars. It gives them a sense of power, and it stifles debate. They view it as another tool in their tool box to hold on to power.  The American people (MAGA cult members excluded) see right through this charade. Most of us know that there is no point to this war, and that after all the carnage, destruction, and money spent; nothing has changed in Iran. Yes, a lot of bombed out buildings, but the Revolutionary Guard is still in control, they still have a large stockpile of  enriched uranium, and  they still control the Strait of Hormuz. So what was the point of all of this?

I will give you a two letter hint: J E.

You can get a hint of his thinking about the war from the timing of his bullshit pronouncements about ceasefires or the strait opening: they all happen just before the markets open.
Persia has been around for thousands of years, and they won't be drying up and blowing away because Fergus throws a tantrum.
The main lasting effect of this war will be the diminishment in stature of American military power in the eyes of the world.
As one meme had it: "The strait was open back when the military was woke and gay."

“Autocrats like Trump, of course, love wars. They don't care about the cost of human lives or what it will cost in terms of actual dollars.”

Trump is certainly no longer loving this war, since its going so badly for him, though I’m sure the Iranian government now do love it. The attack on their country has undoubtedly strengthened the regime, which had become very unpopular, but which more Iranians will now rally around in solidarity against the Americans and Israelis who have been bombing and killing them. There is so much boneheadedness that lead up to this debacle, it’s hard to know where to start.

I am no fan of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, but the deal negotiated under Obama, allowing Iran only a peaceful, low-uranium-enrichment nuclear program, had largely solved that problem. But then Trump destroyed that deal, probably just out of pure anti-Obama spite.

One alternative to that deal, of course, was regime change via invasion. The US could have occupied Iran, toppled the Iranian government by force, and replaced it with a better one that would dismantle its nuclear program entirely. While I am very opposed to such a solution, I have to admit it could work —but an invasion would involve many, many American deaths, and would thus require selling the American public on the necessity of the war.

Trump decided not to do that either.

No nuclear deals for Trump. No invasions for Trump. Instead, Trump took the advice of Benjamin Netanyahu and went with the third and dumbest option: just bomb Iran and hope for the best.

Of course it failed miserably, and now Trump is stuck alternately threatening and begging Iran to stop disrupting global trade just so the American military can slink home in disgrace, having achieved absolutely nothing.

If you were wondering why Trump is so damn interested in getting his hands on any uranium in Iran, even the "dust," here's one reason.

Once acquired, experts can undertake a process called nuclear forensic analysis (aka provenance determination), whereby it can be determined where the ore originated, and I don't mean in general.

They can confirm its origin not only down to the country (or general region) it came from, but also to the mine from which it was extracted.

Anonymous said...

Iran is about Obama/Clinton.

The oil, global reset, leverage over NATO/China, etc., those were just added bonuses.

This entire military operation in Iran, has been about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, AND proving that the Obama administration is responsible for it.

That’s why Trump repeatedly says the “nuclear dust” is the number one most important thing in negotiations. He doesn’t just want Iran to sign a deal not to make nukes. He wants the Uranium from Fordow, so the US MIL can use nuclear forensics to confirm the origins of all the uranium. US MIL Intelligence knows exactly where it came from, they are just there to confirm what they already know.

Trump is in Iran to gather incontrovertible evidence. Isotopic signatures. Nuclear fingerprints.

This is why all propaganda assets have been deployed, why both the Left and woke-Right squeal so loudly about Iran, and why there is so much disinformation online about the situation in Iran.

Trump is about to secure the smoking gun that will take down the Obama administration, hence why the traitors are in such a panic.

It’s happening, and they know they can’t do anything to stop it.

Trump isn’t going to “get his hands” on any uranium. He has lost. No regime change has happened, despite what he claims. No dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program has happened. BEST-case scenario is that he manages to simply end the Strait of Hormuz crisis, which is his fault to begin with.

Lord, the extent of the brain-poisoning on the MAGA right is astounding. Trump has started an idiotic war, lost it, and created an economic problem for the world, and you’re still somehow spewing gibberish related to some baseless conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton selling uranium to the Russians?

The main problem with your stupid, stupid conspiracy theory is that we already know where the uranium came from because under the JCPOA we monitored the facilities where they enriched it. They just expanded the enrichment they were allowed to do when Fergus killed the deal.

-Doug in Sugar Pine

dinthebeast said...

OK, two things: First, the strait is closed again because only Iran can "open" it, despite Fergus' typical rapist belief that they can be forced to do what they don't want to do. If you want them to open it, you have to give them a reason to want to open it, and bombing them will never, ever be that reason.
And second, some odd favorable weather helped renewable energy to be more than half of what the US used last month, even with all of the self-sabotage coming from Fergus and his fossil fueled idiots:

“Nutlick's sons bought the rights to more than $10 million worth of tariff refunds for 20 to 30 cents on the dollar and now are going to collect full price.”

The allegation here is that Lutnick’s son benefited from “nonpublic” information that the tariffs were illegal, provided by Lutnick. Which might be an ethics violation if not a crime.

The problem here is that nobody needed any super-secret information leaked from the government to tell them the tariffs were illegal. It was completely obvious to everyone but the fully brainwashed MAGA morons that the tariffs were illegal.

The president cannot unilaterally impose across-the-board tariffs on basically every country, just because he feels like it. Also, water is wet, the Pope is Catholic, and bears do shit in the woods.

This is annoying but not surprising. Nobody I know needs to be reminded of these things, but obviously a lot of Republicans do, so perhaps that is why they want them so bad:

A federal appeals court on Tuesday narrowly upheld a Texas law that requires public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

By 9-to-8, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the law does not violate the separation of church and state, reversing two lower court decisions. The court also ruled the measure does not restrict parents’ right to direct their children’s religious upbringing.

This defamation lawsuit got tossed because the defendant was making a joke that obviously wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, and therefore cannot be defamation.

The “main” defamation lawsuit will also be tossed, but the reason will be different. The ruling will be that the publication cannot have defamed Trash Patel by calling him a drunk because he is actually a drunk.

It isn’t necessarily that weird for a civilian secretary of one of the branches of the armed forces to not have a military background. The fact he was a major Trump donor and business associate is more than a little shady, though.

Most of the airlines will have to cope by raising ticket prices. Perhaps Spirit can't do that, though, because they would cease to be a budget airline and their entire customer base would just stop flying.

"So the grift works like this:
1) Sue the government alleging butthurt in the first degree, baselessly, with no real hope of prevailing in court.
2) Fergus' DOJ "settles" out of court and awards you $1.25 million.
Over and over again."


The grift works best when Trump sues the government HE RUNS, and then orders the DOJ to settle the lawsuit, rather than fight it, and hand over a giant pile of cash to him.

“5:12pm FALSE”

No, true.

Trump is suing the federal government for $10 BILLION (lol) because a private contractor working for the federal government leaked his tax returns.

If the DOJ fight this lawsuit, Trump will get destroyed in court because he has experienced nothing like the damages he is claiming. Every other recent president has voluntarily released his tax returns, as a normal expectation of the job (which should in fact be a legal requirement). But not Trump. Because he is special. (In the “rides the short bus” sort of way.)

Will the DOJ fight this absurd lawsuit, which would result in Trump collecting a pittance in damages? No. Just watch. Trump will order them to settle and just pay him a giant windfall he does not deserve.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is far and away the most corrupt US president ever.

Possibly the only sensible thing Trump has done as president to date.

So Clavicular has been kicked off of YouTube for advocating the use of harmful behaviors in the service of improving one's looks.
(Meth, steroids, breaking facial bones with a hammer, etc.)
Now if we can just get Bobby Brainworm kicked out of HHS for his advocacy of far more harmful behaviors...

When the contractor they hired to investigate their batshit insane conspiracy theory told them that it was, in fact, a batshit insane conspiracy theory:

Confronted with the results, Olsen turned on the contractor, Virginia-based Mojave ​Research Inc. in a September message to Trump, the three sources said. Infuriated, Olsen accused the firm of blocking his work, serving the ‘deep state’ and secretly taking money from billionaire George Soros, a Democratic donor and frequent right-wing target, they said.

Mojave had been brought on by Trump’s director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to ‌search for vulnerabilities in the machines Puerto Rico used during its 2024 gubernatorial elections.

Because the lies he tells about being prosecuted for nothing are lies:

The Justice Department has closed its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the renovation of the central bank’s headquarters, removing an obstacle for Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Powell, to be confirmed to the role.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, a close Trump ally, said in a statement on social media Friday that the inspector general for the Fed is instead conducting an inquiry into the building’s renovation costs.

“The Justice Department has closed its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell …”

I truly hope that Powell decides to stay on as Fed governor after his term as Fed chair is over. Both because it would thwart Trump’s control over the Fed and because it would really piss him off, which he deserves.

So someone has managed to tell Fergus that after Iran's storage is full, they will have to begin shutting down oil production, which will do permanent damage to the oil wells.
So now Fergus believes he has an issue to bully them with and has completely given up on diplomacy, which wasn't really ever going to be effective anyway with both of his "diplomats" (Kushner and Witkoff) having large financial ties to Gulf states whose interest is to prolong the attack.
Fergus thinks that all he has to do is wait them out.
Meanwhile, the world's economy falls further down the shitter with each passing day that the strait is closed.
Remember, the strait was open back when the military was woke and gay.
One effect of this foolishness, though, is that more of the world has woken up to the fact that fossil fuels are unsustainable and are electrifying as fast as they can. Let that be Fergus' legacy.

Fergus is considering a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, in exchange for her lies, I mean testimony that Fergus didn't diddle all of the little girls he diddled.
If he does this, his cult will turn on him.
That's the occupational hazard of leading a cult: you have to maintain fidelity to the cult's mission, and his cult's mission is to imprison and execute the pedophiles they believe to be running the world.

So it seems like another lame has tried to shoot Fergus. This one seems lamer than the first two because you're never going get a shot at him in a public event the SS has secured.
All I can really say is that I hope Fergus never goes anywhere ever again without fearing for his life.
