I just quoted the man himself. If you checked back on my earlier posts, you’d see that I was supportive of the attacks, on the basis that he said it would be a short war, Iran’s military would be neutralised and the people would rise up. A month down the track and Iran is still lobbing missiles around, have rendered 13 US bases uninhabitable, blocked the Hormuz, destroyed the Qatari gas installations for 3-5 years and are fortifying Kharg. Meanwhile Trump has been saying for three weeks that “We’ve won!”.
Now, listening to his pressers, he’s starting to ramble a bit, which is a real worry. Either his memory is going or he isn’t being kept fully informed, as in the five damaged refuellers (“I don’t know anything about that”, in a ‘that’s fake news’ tone of voice). So it’s looking more and more like seagull management – fly in, crap on everything in sight and fly out, leaving a big mess for everyone else to clean up.
