Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

When George W. Bush plastered a “Mission Accomplished” banner onto the upper deck of an aircraft carrier in 2003, it actually heralded the continuation of a brutal war with Iraq that went on for another twenty years and cost the lives of thousands of American troops and Iraqi civilians.

Donald Trump appears to be intent on reprising that painful episode of American history. His war against Iran began a week ago, but he is already bragging about how savagely lethal his unprovoked, illegal, and broadly unpopular war mongering has been. Sadly, much of the lethality has been suffered by Iranian civilians, including dozens of elementary school children. Which is typical of the insensitivity of the Trump regime to the casualties of war, including American soldiers.

So naturally Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is ready to justify everything Trump does, no matter how horrible the consequences. On Saturday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends were discussing the Iran fiasco when co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy (wife of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy) made an astonishing announcement. She delivered the glassy-eyed Fox viewers some partisan PR saying…

“Lets think about what has happened, lets list it out, So we took out the Iranian regime leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, and then 40 of the top leaders, We degraded their military […] We’ve kind of unified them [other Middle East states] behind us so that’s kind of worked in our favor to some degree. We’ve outed fake allies, Spain, England, right? Why should we ever help them again? […] So to me, this already looks like victory. And so, I say, lets declare victory very quickly,”

Glory hallelujah! It’s all over and everybody can go home. After all, “we took out” the Ayatollah, who is likely to be replaced by his even more radical son. And we did the dirty work of “degrading” Iran for the other regional countries who were already opposed to them. And we simultaneously alienated some of our closest and most enduring allies. So…Mission Accomplished?

It’s not clear whether Fox News consulted with Trump prior to initiating this celebration. Had they done so, they might have learned that he isn’t really on board. In fact, while the Fox Friends were gushing, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was still deeply involved in his battle against “Iran, which is being beat to HELL.” He elaborated saying that “Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death.” Which doesn’t sound much like a declaration of victory.

What’s more, Trump posted a another comment saying that “We have a virtually unlimited supply of…Munitions…however, we have also increased Orders.” So he’s increasing our supply of munitions from unlimited to…ultra unlimited? Never mind that Trump and the GOP say we can’t afford healthcare, or education, or housing, or any initiatives that might lower the cost of living for Americans here at home.

Meanwhile, Trump also took time to clarify why he is really so obsessed with his military misadventures around the world. During an event marking the launch of his cartoon-inspired “Shield of the Americas,” he inadvertently let it slip that the only things he cares about are money and oil…

Trump says that "Cuba is at the end of line. They have no money. They have no oil." He's admitting that his foreign misadventures ( Venezuela, Iran) are all about money and oil.So it makes sense that he's enriching himself by holding this summit at his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort.

Knowing that, we now have the criteria for determining when his mission is actually accomplished. Although most people who have been paying attention already know. And it has nothing to do with Iran…

CORRECTION: Trump's Department of War spelled "Epstein" wrong.This is the real reason that Trump started a war with Iran. Also, he needed to justify renaming the Department of Defense.
