Fee fantasies and false openings: Trump’s Hormuz delusions continue : Comments

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?

I'm pretty sure the real figure is between 400k and 500k..

"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."

You dim-witted dipshite.
He promised not to get into forever wars, campaigned fiercely on it.
He's a sellout to a foreign nation, and a lying, incompetent orange faced douchebag.

I think he's doing a great job as commander of the American Titanic.

Hi Trumpster,

"You previously admitted that at least a third of those killed were soldiers" DID I! Don't recall that, even so, all killing in war is murder. And in this case 75,000 Palestinians were murdered. Only a grotesque human being would measure the callous destruction of human life purely in numbers. So you want to say 45,000 murdered women and children is nothing, its just a number.

"I (Trumpster) can't help but notice that the side you support killed 40000 of them (Iranians) just this year." As a pacifist I oppose all senseless murders, regardless of who commits them Zionists, Palestinians, Lebanese, Americans or Iranians etc.

YOU claimed the war would be over in a few days, YOU have been backtracking ever since. as I said. You've got more angles than an icosagon, and more positions than the Kama Sutra when it comes to Trump's murderous war.

'I (Trumpster) can't help but notice that the side you support killed 40000 of them'
I thought the tally climbed to 65,000?
Biggest lie this century, next week it'll be 70,000.

The U.S. admitted it caused the protests through economic warfare and Israel admitted it had assets on the ground trying to cause civil unrest and co-opt those protests into a toppling of the government.
It was their actions that caused those deaths.

If Australians were burning government buildings and beheading police and engaged in armed insurrection to topple the government;
You can bet the Australia government would kill a whole lot of rioting Australians - guaranteed.

In this Iranian instance, the West inc Israel organised and funded it.

mhaze, you seem to think that if you tell a big lie enough times that it becomes the truth.
It's not actually true, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, it's still just a steaming pile of lying horse shite.

The question I ask is whether Miriam Adelsons Israel first presidential donations got U.S. troops deployed in the M/E killed.
- And I ask that because that's what you dumb Israeli first conservatives would do, and see Aussie troops deployed to die just as quick as Trumps killed Americans.

Of course you don't. It happened more than week ago and that's too far in the past for poor old Paul.

"Only a grotesque human being would measure the callous destruction of human life purely in numbers. "

Well you're the one who raised the number. I'm just pointing out its wrong and that you previously acknowledged it was wrong. So who's callous?

"As a pacifist I oppose all senseless murders, regardless of who commits them Zionists, Palestinians, Lebanese, Americans or Iranians etc."

But strangely you only want to talk about those killed by the Jews.

"YOU claimed the war would be over in a few days,"

Nup. Never happened. What's that? 0 for 4?

"You dim-witted dipshite."

Oh dear....AC gets very upset when his failed predictions are mentioned.

"He promised not to get into forever wars,"

This isn't a forever war. You should look up the meaning of 'forever'. OTOH, it could be argued that Iran has been at war with the US in particular and the west in general for almost 50 years so it could be argued that Trump is finishing another 'forever' war.

AC shows his racism against the Iranians again. He thinks they are so dumb that they were tricked into a rebellion by those wily Jews, that they can't think for themselves, that they are too dumb to realise it.

Hmm what if I changed 'AC' for 'mhaze', and then changed 'Iranians' to 'Australians', and then changed 'Jews' to 'immigrants' or 'Labor party';
- And then it'd be the same argument you make every day of the week, right!

Hi Trumpster,

I value all lives equally, slugs, toads, Trumpsters, they are all of equal value. Seriously, the life of a combatant is as valuable as any other. Its disgusting that 17 American mercenaries (official number) have died in this war. AS YOU know Trump cowardly dodged military involvement himself, preferring to live the high life whilst sending others to die in his place. In America, their mercenary army is made up of cannon fodder from the lower end of the economic scale, blacks, Hispanics, poor whites, they are as much victims of American imperialist aggression as are thousands of women and children they are sent to murder.
