By Binoy Kampmark, published 17/7/2026

It costs ten times more to pay the policeman than the gangster in the Strait of Hormuz. Why?

You all have been beguiled, and now lay fallen before the faceless rider on the stalking white horse ; the Islamic anti-Christ. Shame on you as the new recruits!

Your bones will bleach eternally in the dry valleys stretching before Zion. Repent while there is still time, and God remains merciful and forgiving!

Your on the wrong side!

What U.S. couldnt achieve through war and seige it tried to achieve through deceit, and failed.
Trump will be screaming the Iranians are begging for negotiations, but its all bs. Iran's response will be F U in farsi.

It's deja vu all over again!

Binoy is writing yet another anti-Trump fact-free missive and AC is making yet more predictions that are destined to fail as badly has his earlier predictions about the Ukrainian war (which he's doing his best to pretend never happened).

Trump's biggest problem as regards the Iranian war is that he was too compassionate toward the Iranian people, trying to not so ruin their infrastructure as to leave them in poverty for a decade after the whole thing is over. Instead he hoped to show the mullahs that resistance was futile, get them to give up on their Islamic imperialist dreams and then have a chance to become a prosperous, peaceful nation.

But the mullahs aren't interested in any of that and are most certainly not concerned about the welfare or otherwise of those they lord over. So now the gloves are off and the US is starting to take out the infrastructure that is most important to the welfare of the nation - the bridges and the power plants. The mullahs are helpless to stop the US bombing whatever takes their fancy but hope that by just hiding in their bunkers they and their regime can survive while the people they are supposed to care about suffer for their intransigence.

And survival is all they currently care about. Its easy to notice that, while they fire the odd futile rocket at various other muslim countries, they have not lifted a finger against Israel since the MOU was signed. Why? Because they know that Israel, fully embedded in Iranian society, would repeat the earlier lessons by taking out the current IRGC leadership structures. So they hide from Trump and play nice with Israel.

The question becomes what will the US do once there's nothing left of any consequence to bomb? The current best guess is that they'll invite the allies who need the Strait to remain open to police it while they, the US, hangs around to smack heads if the mullahs dare to step out of line

Hi Trumpster,

"Trump's biggest problem as regards the Iranian war is that he was too compassionate toward the Iranian people" I suppose for someone who agrees with the Zionist's murdering 75,000 people in Gaza, including 40,000 women and children, the murder of 400 innocent women and children in Iran by America is of no consequence to YOU.

As for the war, yes Daffy Donald could nuk Iran, (to stop them from getting a nuclear bomb... how ironic), but as YOU will tells us, peace loving America would never nuk innocent people, they're just too wholesome and kind to do that sort of terrible thing.

You've got more angles than an icosagon, and more positions than the Kama Sutra when it comes to Trump's murderous war. Come clean, admit YOU got it all wrong, and we'll forgive YOU for your stupidity.

" Zionist's murdering 75,000 people in Gaza, "

You previously admitted that at least a third of those killed were soldiers and therefore not innocent in any sense of the word even with your distortion of the facts. Did you forget that? Of course you did.

As to killing Iranians, I can't help but notice that the side you support killed 40000 of them just this year.

"admit YOU got it all wrong"

Sit down while you read this, but you just saying I'm wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong. No, really it doesn't. Indeed if I disagree with you, its virtual proof that I'm right. But again, I can't help but notice that you don't even try to say what I'm wrong about. Too complex for you I guess.
