Zoe Zermatt — We are not going back

31 Prozent der US-Bürger unterstützen den Krieg gegen Iran. Trump fehlt die Legitimation für den Krieg, die er weder vom Kongress noch von der Bevölkerung erhält. Es ist sein Krieg: der Krieg des Narren.

Trump, the biggest failed strategist in US history, has plunged America into a strategic catastrophe. During his self-proclaimed “victory parade” against Iran, he squandered at least 45% of the US's precision-guided missile arsenal in just seven weeks—including half of all THAAD missiles and nearly 50% of Patriot interceptor missiles. This isn't some fake news blog reporting this, but CNN, citing a CSIS analysis and internal Pentagon data. The result? An “imminent risk” of munitions depletion should a real conflict erupt in the coming years—for example, with China. Trump has ruined the US defense capability for years to come. And for what? For nothing. No regime change in Iran. No destroyed nuclear program. No strategic breakthrough. Just a shaky ceasefire that gives the mullahs time to rearm while America stands naked. Trump, the great “Art of the Deal” master, has once again only produced hot air – and in doing so, burned through the most expensive and scarce weapons in the USA like a pubescent boy with fireworks.

Enttäuschte Erwartungen: 1. Enthauptungsschlag lässt Iran zusammenbrechen. 2. Militärische Übermacht USA/Israel lässt Iran kapitulieren. Nun folgt: 3. Iran hält die Blockade wirtschaftlich nicht durch.
