As the war that Donald Trump is waging against Iran drags on into its sixth month, there remains no end in sight and no plan for a conclusion that justifies the expense in blood and money. Never mind that Trump had promised that the war wouldn’t last more than a few days, and that he has been declaring victory every other week since it began.<\/p>\n

\"Trump<\/p>\n

This new quagmire in the Middle East was a reckless and illegal endeavor that Trump launched in order to distract the American people from his failures in office, and perhaps to draw attention away from his stubborn, guilt-ridden insistence on obstructing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In other words, it was an egomaniacal scheme to pacify his out-of-control malignant narcissism.<\/p>\n

Those goals of Trump’s haven’t changed. And on Saturday he was asked to comment on the state of affairs of his Iranian misadventures. He responded<\/a><\/strong> to a reporter’s question saying that…<\/p>\n

“We’re seeing what happens. They have no money. They have no navy. They have no air force. They’re not paying their soldiers. They’re not paying their police. They have 350% inflation. So we’re just gonna sort of see what happens. And we have total control, you know, of the border. We have total control, if you look at the blockade. We have total control ot that entire region having to do with the Strait of Hormuz.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

This is NOT comforting.Trump is admitting that he can't defeat Iran even though they have no money, no navy, and no air force. We're 6 months into what he said would be a 2 week war.<\/p>\n
