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...
The Iran Fiasco’s Silver Lining: Trump, Bibi, and the Neocons Got Their Clocks Cleaned
If you don’t think the Donald inhabits an alternative universe – just set your mandibles loose to chomp on his most recent missive. According to history’s most gifted practitioner of the Art of the Deal, only one thing really counts with respect to his Paperless...
Hey, POTUS, The Point of the War Was What Again?
Thanks heavens. The bombs, missiles, planes and guns of every size, shape and lethality have gone silent in the middle east. What could have imminently and rapidly mushroomed into a full bore Demolition Derby among the Persian Gulf oilfields, petroleum and LNG...
The Rule of One Price and the Donald’s ‘F’ In Energy Economics 101
The Donald seems to think he has all the time in the world to end the conflagration he and Bibi started in the Persian Gulf. Today he even told the mullahs to take a hike when they suspended any further negotiations owing to Bibi’s brutal strikes on civilian targets...
All The Time In The World… NOT!
If the Donald does not wish to bring down upon himself the ignominy of being the first US president to be impeached, convicted and removed from the White House by the US Marshals, he damn well better start reading the Iranian settlement proposals. Even if he doesn’t...
Two Weeks to an Iranian Nuke – The Ultimate False Flag Lie
The now endlessly repeated notion that Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium (HEU) is tantamount to having a nuclear weapon within weeks is downright malefic. Indeed, this gross deception is so thoroughly fallacious and dangerously misleading that it needs be...
The Donald Can’t Reopen the Strait
We noted in Part 1 that when confronted with the failure of 44 days of bombing Iran “back-to-the-stone-age”and, also, thankfully, being reluctant to send American boots into a Gallipoli-scale slaughter on the ground, the Donald turned to his goofy Secy of Treasury for...
Trump’s Iran War Caused a Massive Oil Crisis
As yet another day of Trumpian madness unfolds, we are not sure who wins the Doofus of the Day award – the Donald, again, or his unhinged Secy of the Treasury. As it happens, the latter was apparently making a run for the money earlier this morning with this doozy: US...
Soon Comes The Mother of All Supply Shocks
It’s getting pretty hard to tell who is more delusional: The Donald or the noisy boy band of school-yard incompetents that surround him. Either way, it’s not surprising that Trump posted this missive earlier today. He apparently actually thinks that his cockamamie...
Bibi’s Big Lie and Why Pluto Didn’t Bark In Tehran
Well, it bears repeating. Again. The Iranians never had a nuke, had no near-term prospect of weaponizing their enriched uranium stockpiles, were not hell-bent on blowing up the world and were not two weeks from anything other than still another wolf-crying episode...
