Brief

DA_Stockman argues Washington has already lost Donald Trump’s war on Iran: five months after Operation Epic Fury began on February 28—an offensive billed as lasting 3-4 weeks—the campaign is a grinding stalemate and strategic fiasco. He insists Iran posed no credible US homeland threat and alleges the strikes aimed to placate an ally to preserve a 61‑vote Knesset coalition.

Why it matters

DA_Stockman claims Washington has lost Donald Trump’s war on Iran: five months after Operation Epic Fury began on February 28, an offensive advertised to last 3-4 weeks has become a grinding, inconclusive stalemate.

Key details

  • He asserts Iran posed no credible threat to US homeland security and labels the campaign a 'strategic fiasco' that exposes the bankruptcy of America’s Empire-based foreign policy.
  • He alleges the February 28 strikes were launched primarily to honor a so-called 'ally' and help preserve a 61-vote coalition in the Israeli Knesset.

The Silver Lining: The Donald’s Impending Defeat In Iran May Finally Bring The Empire Home davidstockman.substack.com/p…
It is damn obvious that Washington has lost Donald Trump’s idiotic war on Iran. After all, it is now five months since the opening salvos of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, which was advertised to last only 3-4 weeks. Instead, the conflict has settled into a grinding, inconclusive stalemate at best, and, more importantly, a strategic fiasco that reveals the bankruptcy of America’s entire Empire-based foreign policy.

The fact is, the War on Iran was misbegotten from the get-go because Iran posed no credible threat whatsoever to the homeland security of the United States. Period. Full stop.

In that regard, no American president has ever launched a war on such thin, specious grounds: The one and only reason for unleashing the bombers and missiles on February 28th was to honor the request of a so-called “ally” in  furtherance of his desperate need to maintain a 61-vote coalition in the Knesset.
