Trump is Insane. It's 25th Amendment time.

Matt Bracken

Trump has lost what is left of his mind.

1. You can’t “threaten” Shia Muslims with martyrdom. Martyrdom in a defensive war against an infidel aggressor is the gift of paradise to them. This shows a total lack of understanding of Islam, and in particular Shia Islam. Secular Westerners might not believe this, but they most surely do.

2. Putting “Fuckin’, crazy bastards, hell, and Praise be to Allah” together in one post is incredibly offensive and blasphemous to ALL Muslims around the world. He just gave a big dirty EFF YOU!!! to every Muslim on the planet. This is not going to help, to say the least.

3. If he carries out his Tuesday bombing plan, Iran will retaliate and destroy critical power plants in nations where US forces are operating, from Kuwait to the GCC to Saudi Arabia. Iran is 95% water self sufficient. On the other side of the Persian Gulf they are 90% dependent on desalinated water. Millions may perish from lack of water. It will be impossible to fly them all out in time to prevent a massive human disaster.

The economic fallout will not be contained to the Middle East. Already petrol stations are running dry from Australia to Japan. Without diesel and fertilizer due to the 90% Strait of Hormuz shipping shutdown, this year’s crop yields may be half of what is required to feed the planet. Poor nations that already exist on the margins may go into famine. European nations will institute “energy lockdowns,” strictly rationing fuel and limiting travel. The world may be spiraling into a global great depression. With the Persian Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed in the coming weeks, reopening the Strait of Hormuz may be a moot point. Infrastructure that took 50 years and trillions of dollars to build may be destroyed in days. It will not be rebuilt (if ever) in time to prevent a global human catastrophe.

4. Iran's power grid is very robust and redundant compared to the American grid. 90% of Iranian households are connected to gas pipelines and a mostly gas-powered electric grid. Iran's natural gas is virtually unlimited for many decades to come. Destroyed sections of natural gas pipelines can be fixed in hours, or days at most. Gas and electricity can be rerouted around Iran's vast interconnected grids as individual power plants are struck, and then repaired. Iran’s gas and electric grid networks were designed this way for a purpose. The 8-year war from 1980 to 1988 is not a distant memory. Iran has remained on a war footing ever since, planning for damage control.

So if it comes to counterstrikes against power grids outside of the middle east, the USA is far more vulnerable to catastrophic cascading power failure than Iran. Google "Metcalf sniper attack California." 10 Metcalf attacks at the same time could take out the power across entire regions of America. The giant transformers that are one of our Achilles heels take years to obtain after ordering them from, of all places, CHINA. During Biden’s open-border years, tens of thousands of potential spies, terrorists and saboteurs entered America at will. People who live in glass houses should not careen around the planet throwing bricks through the windows of everyone they don’t like at that moment. Eventually it can blow back.

All of this wreckage flows from Trump’s misbegotten decision to join Israel in their February 28 sneak-attack assassination missile and bomb strikes that took place during ongoing negotiations. This is the very definition of perfidy.

Strikes where entire apartment buildings were and are still being destroyed, killing everyone, to “decapitate” one potential Iranian leader who may or may not even be there at the time. This USA is now following Israel’s “Gaza Rules,” and the world will not forgive us for this.

On February 27, Trump believed the Israeli fairy tale that after our “decapitation” strikes, the Iranian people would rise up against the Islamic government. This entire cascading global catastrophe flows from that massive blunder. But Israel may see its goals realized: wrecked nations and destroyed peoples from Libya to Gaza to Lebanon to Syria to Iraq to Iran.

Bracken Out.
