Trump war of choice on Iran is less for the US or Israel and far more for Saudi Arabia, Trump's burgeoning business relationships in the Gulf...and Operation Epstein Distraction Источник: https://drlou.substack.com/p/trump-hasnt-given-one-coherent-objective ============================================================ US confirms three fighter jets shot down by Kuwait in ‘friendly fire’ incident; crews ok Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People How were three US fighter jets shot down so easily by the supposedly friendly nation of Kuwait? How can the coordination between Kuwait and CentCom be so unconditionally poor other than the fact for Hegseth and Trump’s involvement; likely two of the most incompetent and unqualified people to ever be in or part of an American presidential administration? In that Iran is not putting ANY planes in the air, why would the Kuwaiti military even assume these were unfriendly fighters and open fire - and rather accurately, too, it seems? And did Kuwait shoot down three American planes with American made weapons? We haven’t heard much yet about what the hell happened. A difference between this war of pure choice by Trump is the fact that it is far less about oil. Instead, Trump and his family’s business interests are tightly interwoven across multiple Gulf State royal families from Saudi Arabia to Qatar who also have supported his war of choice in Iran…and funded his family’s business ventures. Then there are the still expanding Epstein Files… Share Trump has yet to offer even a semblance of an objective or expected outcome other than babbling about ‘regime change’ which cannot happen from the air no matter how intense or sustained. And as three US fighters planes have been shot down, at least four US military have now died as a result of Operation Epstein Fury. At the same time, Bone Spurs has been saying to expect more US causalities but still without saying why. The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without even an attempt to build public support. Above all, it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them decide how to build a legitimate Iranian state. Large numbers of Iranian civilians have been killed, civilians across Gulf States and Israel have died as part of Iran’s indiscriminate missile attacks. But even as JD Vance insists their is no chance of having American ‘boots on the ground’ in Iran, Trump has now said that may not be the case after all. Trump told the New York Post that he will not rule out sending U.S. troops into Iran. “I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground. Like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,” Trump said, according to the New York Post. “I say, ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.’” And Trump is repeating all this still without offering a single justification or expectation for this war of choice. Remember that Trump ‘declared war’ on Iran from his failing Truth Social media app while spending the weekend partying and dancing in Mar-a-Lago as civilians and US military were dying. Is he trying to save Truth Social, too? Free Thinking is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. There was a picture sent out of a vacuous looking Trump sitting in his insecure Mar-a-Lago ‘situation room’ even while Vance and others sat in the real situation room in the White House. The two groups clearly don’t seem to have been talking to one another. Iran has been in the sights of American neo-cons, like John Bolton, since 1979 when 66 Americans, both diplomats and employees at the US embassy in Tehran, were taken hostage. Bolton proposed an attack on Iran during the presidency of W Bush. But the fact that W reigned in Bolton was, perhaps, the one and only competent decision of W’s otherwise miserable, potential war criminal, time in the White House. Iran Hostage Crisis Fast Facts There is no doubt Iran’s ancient Islamofascist dictators have caused death and destruction across the Middle East and beyond over decades. Iran is a terror state which has orchestrated constant assaults through proxies on Israel to very much include the Hamas October 7th massacre. Most recently, the Iranian government killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of their own citizens to put down a growing popular uprising. But even without Khamenei, Iran’s violent militaristic Islamofascist dictatorship and government is still very much in place and still able to do tremendous damage. It’s also clear they don’t give any more of a rat about Iranian citizens than Hamas does about Gazan citizens. When Trump now tells citizens in Iran to ‘lets see how you respond,’ to whom does he even think he is talking? There are numerous groups in Iran ranging from different ethnic groups and the new monarchists to the IRCG, itself, who would likely be most interested in a more outright military dictatorship. And there are the Iranian citizens who’ve been dying in massive numbers with so many slaughtered by their own government just over the past month to put down citizen resistance to the Khamenei regime. In Afghanistan, Trump unconditionally and thoughtlessly handed that tragic country to the Taliban without consulting with the then Afghan government and against the advice of the US military. He did this for the potential of a foreign policy ‘win’ during the 2020 presidential election. Trump is only about whatever Trump thinks is in his interest in any given moment Thanks for reading Free Thinking! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share Trump even had about 5,000 militant Islamists freed from Afghan jails along with the Taliban second in command who was in prison in Pakistan as a ‘gift’ to the Taliban. In doing so, Trump also doomed Afghan women and girls. When his plan in Afghanistan failed to act as a foreign policy perk for Trump, he immediately lost interest, to include abandoning the many within country Afghan allies who fought with US military against the Taliban, and moved onto his next catastrophe leaving Afghanistan for Biden The point is that Trump is uniquely ignorant, deeply impulsive and increasingly incompetent but has acted, and continues to act, with impunity due to a cowardly, anti-patriotic GOP Congress. Now we see Operation Epstein Fury in Iran as Trump distraction shortly after allegations of child rape and violence have been leveled against him in the Epstein Files. I don’t believe in coincidence. How about readers of this piece; do you? The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Iran are more than the regime’s protection. The IRGC has a huge international reach, is deeply corrupt and has engaged in multiple and lucrative business ventures over the past decades. Why would there be any belief that the IRGC is anymore ready to loosen their hold in Iran than would Hamas is in Gaza? Whose interests and objectives are Trump serving? It surely isn’t America’s...and only Israel’s peripherally...but is Operation Epstein Fury and in support of his family’s numerous Gulf State business relationships What’s next in Iran for the US ‘peace’ presidency?
