Česa tako neuravnovešenega, tako vulgarnega, izraženega s strani velesile, še nismo videli. Vsaj tam od časov Adolfa Hitlerja naprej.

Je pa to izbruh togote neuravnovešene narcistične osebe, ko realizira svojo nemoč.

Iran ina seveda bistveno boljše karte in se na Trumpove izbruhe ne potrebuje odzivati. Iran z ignoriranjem Trumpa psihološko cvre. Iran selektivno odpira Hormuz na podlagi individualnih dogovorov z državami in dokazuje, da je gospodar ožine. In kadarkoli lahko prek Hutijev zapre ožino tudi Bab Al-Mandab v Rdečem morju. In kadarkoli lahko z eno raketo zapre zadnjo možnost Savdijcev, da prek naftovoda proti Yanbuju pošiljajo nafto prek Rdečega morja v Evropo.

Two things that I like about this Trump quote:

1. The strategic stupidity of threatening Iran like this when it holds the Bab el Mandeb card and can shut down the Red Sea in 5 minutes notice, causing global havoc; when it has allowed substantial parts of the Gulf to keep operating, but can bring everything to a stop, sending oil prices to $200+, and also when it has major escalatory cards against Israel and other colonial hubs in West Asia.
2. The ridiculous attempt by Trump to sound like he’s a blue collar, simple, hard-working American, while growing up in a family of German slumlord billionaires.

The military power, the conviction and the self image: all fake.
