Is it stupidity or arrogance?

Trump just seems to think he can scare everyone into submission. Russia and Iran don't quite fit that model.

Big lions can bully little lions and kill cubs

It's not a sign of intelligence on trump's part, nor arrogance for
that matter, but if he was intelligent he wouldn't be
setting himself up to be looked back on by future generations as stupid.

How does history see Caligula? He too was a bit of a bully, for a while.

How does history see Caligula?


His name was Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.

Caligula, his nickname, never to be uttered in his presence, translates as "Little Bootee", a derogratory reference to the little Caliguli (army boots/sandals) he used to wear along with a miniature army uniform, which he strutted about in a lot as a kid and acted like a right brat.

History does not look kindly upon Caligula, to the point that no one even mentions his real name.

Was thinking about this earlier.

Isn't the lesson of the last eighty years or so that MAD works? If both sides are capable of wiping out the other, then peace holds. We've had decades of one side constantly attacking the other and destabilising the entire region, Maybe if Israel knew Iran could actually hurt them very badly in return, it'd think twice about carrying out its monthly adventures.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now it Iran shooting at shipping," he said. "It is open for transit should Iran not do that."

If this is true, and it probably is, then America and Isreal will be unable to declare a "win" without an Iranian regime change as the current regime is unlikely to ever open it unless it can declare a "win"

While all this is going on, surely the Saudis or Emiratis are desperately trying to act as go-betweens and mediate it. No-one in the region wants this. The UAE in particular must be looking at deep financial ruin now that the veil has fallen on the Dubai charade. Only problem I suppose is that the Israelis accidentally wiped out the chosen successors so now they're down to the batsh*t son who even the previous Ayatollah wanted to keep away from power. And that batsh*t son has just lost his wife and kid so it's gonna take the deal of the century to get him to the table.

Pentagon sending additional marines and warships to Middle East

The Pentagon is sending additional marines and naval vessels to the Middle East as Iran increases attacks near the Strait of Hormuz,  three US officials told the Wall Street Journal.

Defence secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly approved a request from US Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the region, to deploy part of an amphibious ready group along with its Marine expeditionary unit.

Officials said this force typically includes several warships and about 5,000 Marines.

How come these marines and all their equipment are all the way over in Japan?

Did the Yanks not envisage a scenario where the Ayatollahs would play the one card they had?

I think the Americans should be very weary of sending in the marines. Boots on the ground or in the water could lead to hostages and hostages is what the Iranians do 'best'.

The very first response. The VERY FIRST ONE. Should simply be "remove your tariffs right now, make a legally-binding commitment not to reinstate any during your presidency, and then we'll think about saving your backside."
