Hundreds of soldiers are rescuing the pilot, while at the same time they are “destroying their own” aircraft so they don’t fall into Iran’s hands. So Iran can’t hit them, but they destroy themselves. Quite a convenient story for the public.
Assessments by independent analysts (reposted). We are witnessing the fall of American prestige — and by a classic knockout. In a single day, Iran shot down six American aircraft, but Donald Trump’s administration is trying to push that into the background with spin about rescuing pilots. However, definitively, Trump is trapped between rescuing pilots, rebellious American generals, and an international coalition that refuses to fight in his war.
Trump is torn — he cannot negotiate because the Iranians refuse, his generals will not support a ground invasion, while Iranian missiles are destroying the infrastructure of major IT corporations. The Axis of Resistance has moved from “strategic defense” to “geoeconomic disciplining.” The downing of American aircraft confirms that Iran still possesses highly advanced air defense systems, such as the upgraded Bavar-373 model.
Strategic forecast. The next few days will be decisive. Trump will face enormous pressure from the deep state (intelligence services, the State Department, and major corporations) to stop the escalation. If he insists on continuing and begins using B-52 bombers, oil prices will continue to rise, and Iran will carry out an attack on Google, Microsoft, and Palantir (the brain and heart of all evil).
And that will set Wall Street on fire, forcing Trump either to submit or to face impeachment under the weight of the collapse of the global economy.
