The pious babble about war aims coming from Trump and Netanyahu notwithstanding, this much is clear : The twelve day war which came to an end after Netanyahu appealed to Trump to please declare a ceasefire because Tel Aviv was taking a pounding, a pounding which was scarcely being reported by the mostly pro-Israel Western Media, in what appeared then - and even now when Tel Aviv is being pounded much more than happened the last time is also not being fully reported, and only significantly being under-reported perhaps because of a conspiracy of silence, this much is clear: After the Twelve Day War Netanyahu and his crew were very worried about Iran still being in possession of a formidable arsenal comprising a still unquantifiable stockpile of lethal missiles with the potential of doing great harm to the towns and cities of what they believe to be God’s chosen people, currently inhabiting  what they believe to be God’s piece of holy real estate which was either conditionally or unconditionally promised to them as an eternal inheritance.


So, the aim of this war is to weaken Iran and to ensure that by the end of the war Iran will no longer be in possession of enough lethal hypersonic missiles with which to threaten the Jewish State.


Of course Netanyahu & Co.'s greatest fear is that there might come a time when the Arabs, the Turks, the Iranians etc might all get together and unite against the one that they eventually view as the enemy that they have in common…. 


If the Economist's Operation Blind Fury ( 21st March,2026)  and Svenska Dagbladet’s editorial today, “The Trump administration has led the United States into the quicksand of a war of attrition; the more it treads, the deeper it sinks , if these two news items are anything to go by, based on such premises we may safely arrive at this sane kind of conclusion:


It sometimes gets to the point when someone bites off more than he can chew 

In the case of the wannabe greatest President, this could well be his Waterloo 


Such a conclusion is not prematurely further supported by some of these news updates:

In preparing to take on China - to lock horns with Mighty China in the South China Sea - over Taiwan, either this year, the Year of the Fire Horse, or in the following year, the Year of the Fire Goat, King Kong, the mago mago Commander-in-Chief Trump, Wannabe Emperor and greatest military strategist since time began may have already written the most definitive modern American commentary on Sun Tzu’s or The Art of War in order to better strategize - in tune with know thine enemy. It would seem that Patton style, his current military adventures in the Middle East are but some kind of strategic foreplay - to get his marines more battle-hardened before American Military Greatness is finally put to the test, far far away from home, somewhere in the South China Sea which if we know His Imperial Highness President Donald J Trump with the kind of awe and respect and fear by which he would ideally love to be known, then we should know that just as he has nationalised what was formally the Gulf of Mexico which is now renamed the Gulf of America, and most recently he has been proposing that once - God forbid -  conquest, subjugation, occupation has been achieved and the grand larceny of Iranian oil and the criminal looting of their uranium  has been accomplished as the spoils of war , then the Strait of Hormuz which is in the Persian Gulf should be renamed “The Strait of Trump”, in his honour and to his glory.


Until the South China Sea is named after him - if ever,  he should please continue to feel free to day dream ( delusions of grandeur) and to philosophise about war and wars, as much as he likes, after all , the proof of the dream-pudding should surely be in the tasting of or in some unforeseen ignominious defeat that could cause him to withdraw with his tail between his legs, this  Parthian shot following him:


Strike another match, go start anew

And it's all over now, Baby Blue
