Here we are, a week and change from the dramatic escalation that was America’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, and the best thing we can say about it, is that we are all still here. The downright insane decision taken by the God-Emperor to attack Iran did not, in fact, result in WW3. And that is very much a Good Thing.

It did, however, split the MAGA base – hard. And that is just the beginning of what I suspect will be a long and wearisome series of disasters for American foreign policy and diplomacy under President Trump.

It will be a long 3.5 years. I think it is necessary to explain why.

On the one side, we have those who think Drumpf can do no wrong, and that we should all have trusted in him from the start, to avoid getting the FUSA ensconced in a wider war. Lord Razor of the Fist Clan made a video on this subject the other day, which I suspect he will come to regret later, in which he attacked many of those who expressed open scepticism about a potential attack on Iran:

It is worth noting that Razor got a few things wrong in this video – starting with the notion that the Iranian ayatollahs are somehow following an Arab version of Izzlam. I have no idea where he gets this from. Iran is a (nominally) Shi’ite Izzlamick country. It follows a very different set of rules and practices from the Arab Sunnis – who mostly think Shi’a Moose Limbs are crazy heretics. The contrast between their belief systems is profound and substantial, not something you can easily hand-wave away.

Moreover, the Iranian Shi’ite regime fought an eight-year war against the secular Ba’athist-governed, Arab-populated, largely Shi’ite, Iraq, under Saddam Hussein. There is a deep rift between the Sunni Arabs and the largely Shi’a Persians, dating back all the way to the 7th Century. The Persian Shi’a are inheritors of the Mutazilite approach to Izzlam, which tried (and failed) to fuse Aristotelian logic with the madness of Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit (Police Be Upon Him). They are also inheritors of the vast and rich intellectual tradition of their ancestors, whose civilisation could be 4,000 years old.

The bottom line is that Shi’ite Persians generally view Sunni Arabs as, basically, unwashed monkeys – and that is putting things rather politely.

Iran is also a rapidly changing country, trending hard toward secularism, even as the authorities claim it is a 99% Shi’ite country. To my knowledge, the latest data we have goes back to an Iranian government poll from 2020, whose veracity may be in doubt, but the results of which confirm a longstanding trend away from Izzlam in Iran – and, by the way, toward Christianity.

So that is the “Trust the Plan, bro” crowd. They think the fact that we are not neck-deep in WW3, shows Drumpf was right.

On the other hand, we have those of the #BasedTucker camp, who do not want America to enter yet another forever war. When #BasedTucker pointed out some basic truths on his X account, he was savagely attacked by hundreds of comments claiming he was now in the pocket of the Qatari government – all of them somehow missed out the fact that he had criticised that same government in a recent interview with Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. After the ceasefire announcement between Iran and Israel came through – while he was interviewing his old friend and former colleague, Clayton Morris, from Redacted Inc. – he posted just two words on his account:

Thank God.

That was all he said. But read through the comments, and you will find dozens, if not HUNDREDS, of people claiming he should have trusted Drumpf all along, and how he should take back what he wrote earlier about crazed Ziocon Jews like Mark Levin.

They claim he was wrong – that people like me were wrong – to argue that Ornj Boi is getting the US sucked into yet another endless war, and insist their totem cannot possibly be wrong.

But this is foolish, binary, tactical thinking, with zero consideration of the long-term implications of what has just happened.

Consider why Donny-boy is so insistent now that the strike on Fordow completely destroyed the facility – when the overwhelming weight of emerging evidence shows absolutely nothing of the sort. It is because Trump knows perfectly well that, if it was NOT destroyed, Israel, the Jewish Lobby in the FUSA, and the Ziocons, will all start screaming bloody murder about the need to bomb Iran yet again.

And he will cave – because that is what he does. Trump Always Chickens Out.

Instead of doing the right thing, and refusing totally to give in to the Zioclowns, Trump did what he always does. He wussed out and caved to the Zioclowns, because they might be able to stop the passage of his signature domestic agenda achievement, the “Big Beautiful Bill” – which is a pork-laden abomination that expands the welfare-warfare state, by giving the Pentaloons a full TRILLION DOLLARS to play with in the next fiscal year.

But he also wussed out with respect to doing what most of his base would have preferred – by staying the hell out of Iran in the first place, and by telling the genuinely genocidal lunatics currently running things in Israel, to chill the F*** OUT.

Again, Trump Always Chickens Out. And so it proved here – on both sides of the equation.

He did not satisfy anyone in the process. He only succeeded in buying himself a little more time with the Zioclowns – who will stab him in the FACE, as soon as they possibly can, because they actually hate him. And he managed to divide his base, which elected him with a specific mandate to avoid these sorts of idiotic foreign entanglements.

The result is now an unstable equilibrium that simply cannot last. Think this through for more than two minutes, and you will see why.

The Iranians are already claiming that their Fordow facility was damaged, but their nuclear enrichment program will continue. They are utterly unimpressed by Ornj Boi’s bluster and thunder. Despite the colossal provocation that was the bombing run, they will continue to enrich uranium as they see fit. And no one – not the IAEA, not the CIA, no one – can seemingly figure out where the hell the Iranians managed to take roughly 400Kg of uranium enriched to 60%.

To understand why this is a problem, you need to understand a thing or three about how uranium enrichment works. For this, we need to turn to Prof. Ted Postol of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who explained the process beautifully in a recent guest appearance on a program for Daniel Davis / Deep Dive:

The whole video is worth watching in its entirety, as it is highly educational, and tells you a lot about why Drumpf’s claims about the total destruction of Fordow are wishful thinking at best, and outright lies at worst. As Prof. Postol points out, the amount of energy and effort required to get from 60% enriched, to weapons-grade at 90+% enriched, is not really that great. The Iranians certainly have the means, technology, and – crucially, now – the motivation, to enrich up to weapons-grade.

It is worth asking why the Persians had 60% enriched uranium in the first place. Surely they should not need it?

That is true. They do not. This is usually the justification trotted out by various Zioclowns to justify the insanity of what happened last week – without those same lunatic Jews, and their Christian Zionist supporters, bothering to look at the context behind the issue.

The problem with this line of logic is that, under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), agreed with Iran, the FUSA, Russia, and a bunch of other countries, all the way back in 2015, Iran agreed to give up its 60%-enriched uranium to Russia. It duly fulfilled that part of the agreement. In return, the West was supposed to give Iran sanctions relief.

But the West never did.

Instead, when Drumpf entered office the first time, he tore up the JCPoA in early 2018, because he had (actually quite well justified) reservations about a number of its key clauses. He railed constantly against the fact that Odumbass the Lightworker basically shipped pallets of cash to the ayatollahs as a bribe to keep them in the agreement. And he really did not like the sunset clauses in the agreement that would have allowed Iran to keep working on enriching toward a nuclear weapon.

Regardless, the fact remains: the West reneged on its promises.

And that is why Iran continued to enrich uranium – because they realised the West had betrayed them. They enriched that uranium up to 60% as a hedge.

They never went all the way to weapons-grade, though. Even the latest IAEA and ICA reports said as much – though the IAEA, under the utterly corrupt Rafael Grossi, whom I believe to be a CIA asset, had to dredge up Iran’s previous nuclear weapons programme. The Iranians gave up that programme, developed in secret until then, all the way back in the early 2000s, and Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa stating that nuclear weapons are forbidden, or words to that effect, shortly thereafter.

To my knowledge, the IAEA has never claimed since then that Iran has made any serious moves toward acquiring and using a nuclear weapon.

Yet here we are, with “evidence” from the early 2000s being brought up as justification for a bombing run, that did no real serious long-term damage to Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.

All it did, in fact, was to shred US credibility so completely that it will probably never recover.

Look at things from an Iranian perspective. They now see that the US cannot possibly be trusted. They see that Drumpf kept making noises about negotiations, even though he had approved, behind the scenes, a plan to drop massive bunker-busters on Iran’s facilities.

Worse, under Trump, the FUSA has crossed multiple red lines, with the full knowledge, and participation, of the President of the United States. Not only did President Trump authorise strikes on nuclear facilities – which is an open act of war, and an unbelievably irresponsible one – but he also knew beforehand about a separate incident related to Russia. He knew, because the Ukrainians told him, that the Ukies were about to launch a sneak attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bomber fleet.

And he let ALL of that happen.

This is not the mark of a responsible statesman. It is the mark of a man without a clue or a plan.

The attack on Russia could, in theory, justify a tactical nuclear response. The Russians have refused to do so, because they know damned well that such a thing will go strategic and global in next to no time. But they will never trust an American President again.

The attack on Iran, similarly, justifies a tactical nuclear response – again, IN THEORY. In practice, it justifies Iran’s complete withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the booting out of all IAEA inspectors on suspicion of spying for the West, and the acceleration of a program to develop a real nuclear deterrent.

This is precisely the outcome the attacks were supposed to prevent.

On that logic alone, the attacks were a gigantic failure of both tactical and strategic thinking.

Again, look at it from an Iranian point of view. They can look over at North Korea – their friend and ally – and see that the Norks withdrew from the NPT, after repeated attempts to play along with the West, that went nowhere. Back in the 1990s, the Norks gave up their nuclear weapons program, in exchange for assistance from the US to build out their civilian power generation capacity. That went nowhere, because the Republicans hated Bill Clinton (with, admittedly, VERY good reason), and accused him of being soft on an American enemy. When they came into power, they killed any attempts to reconcile with the Norks, and there went the civilian nuclear assistance.

So the Norks, responding to American duplicity and treachery (from their point of view – and it is becoming increasingly hard not to take their side here), reinstated their nuclear weapons program, withdrew from the NPT, and within a few short years, had a working nuclear device. They then expanded those capabilities into long-distance strike missiles capable of reaching the FUSA.

Look where they are now. NOBODY f***s with the Norks – not even the mighty US Navy.

Iranians are increasingly looking at that situation with envy. There is a very real and very serious debate within the top levels of the Iranian government on this exact subject, right now. The Iranian generals are all looking at this situation and saying, “we need nukes, because if we do not have them, those insane Jews are going to try this stunt again”. The Western-oriented liberals – of which there are actually many in Iran – are saying, “no, we need to reconcile with the West”.

If Drumpf had simply stayed out of this conflict, and had told Nuttanyahoo to SIT THE F*** DOWN AND SHUT THE F*** UP, the liberals might just have won the argument.

But no. He has now virtually guaranteed that Iran will pursue a nuclear deterrent.

Yeah, nice going there, Ornj Boi.

In summary, this has been one colossal disaster for American foreign policy and diplomacy. No world leader in his right mind should ever trust an American President again. This one was elected because he truly was different. He did not sound or act like Brandon, who was a product of the American political machine. He sounded like an ordinary man of the people.

Instead, he proved to be every bit as dangerous and duplicitous as his predecessor. Worse, he is weak, because he really does always chicken out.

Rather than taking a firmly principled approach to Iran and telling the Zioclowns and Jews to get stuffed, he insisted on taking America through a mockery of a bombing run – one that cost an eye-watering amount, to achieve very little of anything, and which now has him trapped in a corner.

Any idiot with two brain cells to rub together could have figured out this trap. It astonishes me that Ornj Boi did not. I had him pegged as being a lot smarter than that.

Clearly, I was wrong. We all were. But none of that changes the mortal danger we all now face as a result.
