I think it takes a lot of courage and inner strength to do what Trump has done over the past few weeks. He carries the weight of the entire country, and to some extent the free world, on his shoulders. Many love to criticize him as self serving and just an ego, but he has shown more substance in a day than the previous 4 US presidents have across their entire terms combined.
Like what Israel have had to endure where every decision, statement, breathe and fart is scrutinized under a microscope which nobody else ever has to undergo, so too Trump and the US have that same pressure and scrutiny. It’s unforgiving. The media works against you. Propagandists and podcasters within the US work to undermine you and stand with your enemies, and you’re pretty much damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
But yet he has taken it all, stood as a shield in front of most of his administration and absorbed the hate and derangement of all of it. It’s so easy to forget he’s human.
He’s again posted about this deadline with Tuesday being the day. And we’ve all been here before. Will Tuesday be “the day”, or will he publish a post at the eleventh hour offering an extension to give “talks more time”. Whatever he does, he’s earned the right to make the judgement he makes whichever way it goes. I won’t get too excited about Tuesday until those bombs start to hit their targets. Nobody actually knows what’s going on behind the scenes and even if we did, none of us have any control over it, and rightly so.
The next two days will be filled with people posting all sorts of things, lots of clickbait hype and overzealous declarations. For me I take solace in the fact that the United States just pulled off the most sensational rescue operation in modern history rivalling the rescues of Israeli hostages over the past two years by the IDF. I’ve seen how the two allies inspire each other to not be afraid, to have that confidence and also the reassurance that we have each other’s backs. I don’t pay much attention to other countries because in this they are totally irrelevant. They chose to be. Will things be different for them after this war? Sure, of course they will. How? Honestly I don’t care. They are that irrelevant. They chose a side. Blame Trump all you like. America’s allies chose to stand against America and it cannot be undone. The Iranian threat wasn’t an American threat alone. It was and remains a global threat. What we’ve seen is the true cowardice of Europe and Canada and others. A cowardice that I assure you they will pay the highest price for, and not necessarily by the US but by their own hands.
Whether Tuesday is bomb day or another extension, this war is far from over. The IRGC simply won’t stand down. Their aim isn’t just survival. It’s to destroy the reputation of the United States and to irreparably separate the US from predominantly Europe. I think that job is done. But the IRGC wants to humiliate Trump within the US. Now is the time that the US needs to remain most vigilant and alert for attacks at home. Iran will employ and activate every dirty trick imaginable and more.
I won’t say the boring line of “this is the time for unity”, because the United States are anything but United. The left aren’t ever interested in anything other than total self destruction. And they’ll do whatever it takes. We’ve seen that in abundance. That saying “don’t cut your nose off to spite your face” is alien to the left. They just slash the face over and over.
Trump will show he knows what he’s doing and I his administration has done pretty well in managing it all for the most part. To finish this war, Trump will need to take it up not just a notch, but many notches. And I think he will, whether Tuesday or the following week or even the week after that. He knows this regime must be ended. He knows what needs to be done. And when he feels that time is right he will do just that.
Until then, we simply need to wait patiently.
