After receiving outcome warnings from his top generals and MBS the fantasist Donald Trump would have you believe that he is in the driving seat. Trump can only play this game with fake paper barrels of crude oil and dumb trading algorithms. Only the MIGA/Epstein class clapping seals believe this Kabuki theater.
> Iran called MBS and gives him the list of ARAMCO facilities they were going to blow up if US attacked theirs
> MBS knows the whole region is low on air defences and calls Trump
> MBS reminds Trump KSA will sell US Treasuries and stocks to pay for war damages
> Trump TACO

The unfortunate reality is that these constant pattern of bombastic threats followed by TACOs just proves to Iran and the world that Trump is not a rational person capable of making a durable and lasting deal.
I understand that Iran operates responsively, but they really need to operate on an offensive level. Stop allowing Trump to dictate the narrative.

This is exactly the scenario Matt Bracken predicted.
Israeli and U.S. aircraft take off in a massive wave for a bombing raid.
Then Iran bombs the bejeezus out of the runways and military bases where those planes eventually need to land.
They therefore can’t land, even if they… https://t.co/yb35LIYxRE

There is an important debate on whether Iran is taking the right approach by playing tit for tat or whether they should just go ahead and cut off and butcher the tail that wags the dog (Izral- USA); similar in many ways to whether Russia should just keep ploughing ahead at their current rate or hurry up and finish off the war in Ukraine. I sure don’t know the answer to either but it is sad that the world is run by the (((MIC/TIC/FIC))).
