One strike can set off a chain of events. When the USA realizes that it directly threatens the foundation of its “exceptionalism,” it will want to stop it — but it will be too late.
It seems that the possibility of an American attack on Iran is increasing day by day, hour by hour, but behind this potential and tragic outcome we can see something bigger that is being prepared and is actually already fairly “set in place” — a chain escalation.
What is it about? The strike that Trump has devised would have to be significantly larger than last year’s episode. It would have to aim at physically dismantling the Iranian system, and Iran is not a country that would capitulate after the first major attack. If Trump is taking lessons from Venezuela, then he is greatly mistaken (a more accurate example would be Gaza, where the far more powerful Israel literally leveled everything to the ground but still failed to destroy Hamas). However, the strike would only be the beginning of a reaction that the United States, at the moment of making such a dramatic decision, would no longer be able to stop. That chain would reverberate through Washington, Europe, Russia, and in the end have direct and far-reaching global consequences.
The beginning of the downfall of American dominance
With this morning’s attack on Iran, Trump has literally ended his career. When the coffins of dead American soldiers begin arriving in the USA, let him try to explain to his people why American children are dying. For Israel? Are Israelis more important than Americans? Is Iran a threat to the USA? It is not. Nor will it ever be.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump’s claim that he would make America great actually means he will mark the end of American dominance. It will remain written in history how one small Israel managed to bring down the American empire with the help of the craziest American president in modern history. It seems that the Epstein files have begun revealing serious details about Trump, and he now wants to divert public attention with a war against Iran.
