an essay with the title: time isn't on trumps side;

 

Let’s stop pretending that Iran is a poor Arab country with poorly educated people. Their current President is a heart surgeon. They rank 4th in the world for IQ based on the 2026 Average IQ by Country rankings from the International IQ Test; much higher than the United States which was 39th.

What is their plan for this war? Time. The above picture shows the cliffs on the Iranian Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. They are embedded with military installations to hold off any invasion. Their western and eastern borders are large mountain ranges. In other words, an invasion would be suicide. Just ask Iraq.

With Iran’s missiles and drones, any naval attack is suicide. See Millennial Challenge 2002 for a practical example. There is no way to isolate Iran from Russia, China and North Korea if the war escalates. Yes their currency has been successfully attacked by the US to start a color revolution in January. And their infrastructure has been bombed by Israel and the US which has impacted travel and transportation of war materiel.

So the course forward will still be dictated by Netanyahu. His only option is to convince the US to launch a limited tactical nuclear strike. He has already stated that they will not participate in a land attack with Israeli soldiers. He also has sabotaged every ceasefire or deadline to ensure the continuation of this war to establish a Greater Israel. So the wildcard is Trump. Congress is mostly quiet to limit their exposure as the “war” descends into chaos and the President descends into madness. Ask yourself if you want Trump to be able to decide a nuclear attack with no oversight based on his rhetoric and actions.......more..........
