The price of miscalculation : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 26/6/2026

A war launched to reshape the Middle East has instead exposed the limits of force - and the cost of misunderstanding a nation that has spent millennia learning how to endure.

Donald Trump ignored the once U.S maxim "we do not negotiate with terrorists". You kill them.

The latest madness is the idea that, after bombing and blasting Iran, America should now pay Iran $300 billion to repair the damage.

Thanks to Alon Ben-Meir for another incisive and truthful article on the Middle East.

This war has exposed Donald Trump as a complete dill, a danger to the world as long as he holds office, as if we didn't know that already. The Zionist war criminal Netanyahu successfully played Daffy Donald for the fool, when it was too late Donald tried to cut himself off from Bibi Yahoo, but the chooks had already come home to roost, sucker Donald!

My impressions of Donald and 'Didi' are not good.
Over time, I hear/read news reports about them.
Or listen to statements made by them directly.
From these, I take a word here, or a phrase there.
Over time, these 'snippets' allow an impression to evolve.
And that impression is that they are being manipulated, but cannot see it.
They are both out of their depth, but don't know it.
Whatever the outcome of these wars, it will be decided by the 'enemy', and not by them.
Which is a sad state of affairs.
But does it matter what we think?
It won't affect what they do.
For their enthusiasm is self-fuelling, and ignores any alternate approach.
Fortunately, neither is likely to be re-elected.
So others will need to sort out the mess they have made.

A final thought.
I look forward to the day when the US of A becomes a sane, deliberate, and steadfast strength in our world.
Those things have been absent for far too long.
