Tit for tat bombing during Trump’s War threatens all energy infrastructure in the entire Middle East.
Good Saturday morning beloved sentients. Last night was one of the most bloody nights of warfare in the War of Trump Choice on Iran. Iranians announced they had killed many American soldiers who they said were hiding out in the Persian Gulf region amassing and preparing attack on Iran. RT said 500 casualties and Iran said many hundreds. See their announcements in the links below.
Of course the American media said nothing at all about this catastrophe and instead talked about Trump’s latest vulgarities spoken at a black tie dinner he was speaking at while Americans were dying. More about that later.
Smoke over the US Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain. The attack is reportedly part of Iran’s retaliation for earlier US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets.
The same base that’s been Washington’s forward spear against Iran for decades—hosting every carrier strike group and blockade run while the monarchy brutalises its own Shia majority at home. Turns out “deterrence” only works until the missiles finally fly the other way.

The Island off the coast of Kuwait in the map at the link above shows where Americans were amassing and killed–according to Iranian sources.

Greencrow continues: Last night I read a very good analysis of the War so far by one of my favourite sources–the Jewish blogger Ron Unz. I highly recommend my readers checking out The Unz Review for objective information and analysis of the war. He is one of the very best. In the article linked below he gives an astute summation of the war so far…and even better…he offers a solution to the hostilities. It’s worth consideration. I have excerpted the article in a couple of choice quotes below:

Donald Trump and the Downfall of the American Empire?
Donald Trump and the Downfall of the American Empire?, by Ron Unz – The Unz Review
“….Offhand, I can’t think of any past historical example in which a major country had ever begun a war by successfully assassinating the entire top leadership of its adversary, and Trump clearly believed that this highly innovative military tactic would result in a quick and decisive victory. Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader was killed together with most of his family, as were dozens of his country’s topmost political and military leaders, with the New York Times publishing a convenient chart showing some of the most prominent victims….
…Yet Trump turned out to be mistaken in the impact. Instead of immediately surrendering, the angry Iranians quickly launched their own retaliatory strikes against America’s regional bases, successfully inflicting far more damage than Trump or anyone else had ever expected. This included the destruction of most of our strategic radars in the region, systems that would require billions of dollars and years of time to replace. Indeed, since these radars relied upon large quantities of the Chinese-monopolized rare earths that America could no longer import for military purposes, their replacement might prove to be extremely difficult.
Even more importantly, the Iranians blocked the Strait of Hormuz, just as they had always threatened to do, and the sudden loss of oil shipments caused world prices to immediately rise, producing fears of a global economic disaster….”
“,,,,However, I have been arguing for weeks that the Chinese do possess the power to end the war::
Since early January, I’ve argued that if China merely took the step of declaring an air/sea blockade of its own rebellious province of Taiwan, the resulting loss of AI microchip exports would puncture America’s gigantic Tech Bubble, leading to the evaporation of perhaps ten trillion dollars of wealth. This would produce an unprecedented American financial collapse and a complete American withdrawal from the war with Iran….:

Greencrow continues. I don’t know if China has the cajones to blockade Taiwan, and thus prevent the US from getting crucial AI technology and chips. Doesn’t sound like anything they’d do. Nobody knows the military capability of the Chinese [least of all the Chinese] because it hasn’t been tested for almost a century. Maybe now’s the time to find out.
Below is a video showing what Trump was up to as hundreds of American soldiers were being blown to bits in the Gulf. He was busy insulting the leader of Saudi Arabia. Please watch below and shake your head in amaZement at the juvenile stupidity of this bonehead. Penny for your thoughts blog has some more incredibly insane lies spoken by Trump in the same speech.
Finally, this morning I checked the official Iranian media PressTV to see what their version of last night’s events were. Nothing new but there was this commentary by the Iranian foreign minister that rang a bell with me. He said the biggest obstacle to ending the Iranian war was “deception”.
Deception, of course is the hallmark of the Zionists. Why even the Mossad motto says:
“By way of deception we shall wage war.”

“Iran censures US ‘deception’ as biggest obstacle to ending war
Iran censures US ‘deception’ as biggest obstacle to ending war
Araqghchi noted that continued military actions by the United States and Israel have significantly contributed to instability in the region.
He pointed out that inconsistent positions and “unreasonable demands” from Washington have deepened distrust, adding that such behavior has reinforced the sense of deception.“

Folks, beware of deception. it will be flowing like the River Jordan in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, I have copied the link to the song from the 70’s that inspired the headline to this post. Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. An anthem of my youth.
