The Middle East is busting with conflict and of course our clueless leader had to bring the US into it full bore…..
First he demands that Iran unconditionally surrender…..
President Trump ramped up his rhetoric against Iran in significant fashion on Tuesday, with a demand for the nation’s “unconditional surrender” as its conflict with Israel unfolds, reports the Wall Street Journal. Trump issued the all-caps demand on Truth Social.
The comments came after Trump left the G7 summit in Canada a day early on Monday to deal with the Israel-Iran conflict, though he made clear he didn’t just want a ceasefire but a “real end” to the war. He didn’t elaborate on what that meant. One option is to more directly join Israel’s military attack with bunker-busting weaponry; another is to push for new talks aimed at getting Iran to abandon its nuclear program, though Trump expressed frustration with Tehran’s unwillingness to do so in earlier negotiations. “They should have done the deal,” he told reporters. In the view of the AP, Trump “appears to be gradually building the public case for a more direct American role in the conflict.”
As usual Donny would not elaborate….he likes leaving things open ended so not matter the outcome he can claim victory.
After that demand he went and gave what he calls the ‘ultimate ultimatum’….
When asked if he gave Iran an ultimatum, Trump said he gave it the “ultimate ultimatum,” but he didn’t elaborate, reports ABC News. Trump added, per USA Today: “The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.”
There you go….he left it undefined and open ended so he can claim victory no matter the outcome.
He is playing the media and the people of this country and he is full bore on propaganda to get the Congress and the population on his side when he throws the US military to the wolves of war.
Despite Donald Trump’s election night promise not to “start wars” and instead to “stop wars,” the United States is already fighting Iraq War 2.0 by defending Israel militarily, by arming Israel, by sharing intelligence with Israel, and by failing to stop Israel despite having advance notice of the war. President Trump called Israel’s attacks “excellent” last week and more recently said the U.S. military “could get involved.” Referring to Iran, Trump told ABC News, “There’s more to come, a lot more.”
If I am not mistaken he is starting this war in defense of Israel.
All this got my memory flying back to my 20s….
As I watch the conflict unfold I think back to the 1960s and a song that pretty much sums up my feelings about this stupidity in the Middle East….
We are moving ever closer, yet again, to all out war that could be the end to end all ends.

“If I am not mistaken he is starting this war in defense of Israel.”
Seems to me it’s in defense of the entire region. Without Iran’s manacing whole Middle East and US generate unprecentned economic prosperity. That why he was glad handing all the Arab state leaders a week or so ago. Setting up “You inve$st in US, we eliminate Iran and integrate Isreal with whole region switching the entire focus to trade and economic expansion ” Safe and peaceful should also drop price of oil for both US and entire West creating an additional explosion of trade and prosperity. Doesn’t anyone see Trump’s genius ? Tjhis arrangement has been his plan from Day One of first term and extending into present.
Gas prices are topping just as Summer travel begins….that is not genius….do you really think the oil sheiks will ever bow down? And do you real;ly think Israel will ever be integrated? That would be wishful thinking. chuq
“The Abraham Accords are a series of agreements aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations. These agreements, signed in 2020, include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. The Accords promote diplomatic relations, economic cooperation, and security partnerships among the participating countries.” Perhaps without Iran’s deadly mischief there’s reason for optimism.
Those accords were a joke at best….why? “a new era of warm peace and prosperity with unlimited economic opportunities.” Look at the ME today the ‘peace’ part is laughable. chuq
what is the name of the song that you thought about from the 1960s?
Eve of Destruction chuq
I see it now…I didn’t see it before…don’t know why…
Ok chuq
