Ten takeaways from Trump’s senseless Iran war

By Walt Zlotow  

  1. First time a foreign power, Israel, goaded, indeed demanded America launch a criminal war.

  2. Trump’s capitulation to Israel’s war demand is destroying his presidency and will likely hand over Congress to Democrats in November.

  3. Air power alone has not and will not achieve victory over Iran.

  4. Ignoring Iran’s ability to close Strait of Hormuz gave strategic advantage to Iran to force stalemate, if not achieve outright Iranian victory.

  5. US has greatly degraded world economy and may spiral it into recession, possibly even depression if it doesn’t end war soon.

  6. All US Gulf State’s bases have been damaged or destroyed and may never be rebuilt due to loss of US security credibility and reliability.

  7. Israel has largely destroyed its support among young Americans – disgusted with its endless manipulation of US to support both its Gaza Genocide under Biden and war to destroy Iran under Trump.

  8. If desperate Trump resumes bombing to destroy Iranian infrastructure, Iran will retaliate destroying Israeli and Gulf States infrastructure, possibly all Middle East oil production.

  9. A peaceful settlement on Iran’s sensible terms is the only path to Middle East peace.

  10. As long as the war continues, Israeli use of nuclear weapons remains a possibility

  1. Walt Zlotow, always credible and informative, outlines this grim charter of consequences as a result of the lunatic machinations of the Israeli prime minister and his American puppet, as we here in this country, on the penultimate eve of Anzac Day, are once again reminded of the unacceptable costs of engagement in martial endeavours. No winners, all losers, men and women wrecked mentally, emotionally, physically, social fabrics rent… will the madness ever cease?

  2. Butcher Bibi was an inflated ZIONAZI zealot selling an unfounded policy to a moron, just as happened in Iraq WMD, Words of Mass Deception, and Vietnam, how to misinterpret an ambiguous report to your own warfare advantage.

    Now TACO Trumpery has two choices, well one choice really, stop blustering, remove all US military armaments back to their bases. However, the third and most important action, call IRAN and seek an armistice, is beyond his demented geriatric personality of ”always being correct”.

    Time for Australia to remember the dead Indigenous Palestinian landowners assassinated by the amoral IDF authorised by the Isrevil Knesset. They amount to 72,000+ in Gaza with another reported 3,000+ in the Occupied West Bank.

    Then Australia requires a ban on any ZIONAZIS moving into Australia.
