Despite the big-balls declarations of the Criminal-in-Chief, the US may have lost its will to power despite Mr. Big Balls in the Outhouse, and that is not because of a metamorphosis in its genetic material but because it knows it can no longer win wars like they used to during colonial times.
How many wars has the US won since 1945?
One. Exactly one, namely the 1991 walk-in-the-park of liberating oil-drenched decadent ultra-Islamic State of Kuwait, a long-time residue of British colonialism carved out of Iraq to ensure oil flows unimpeded from the Arabia desert to the West. Access to oil has been very costly in blood and treasure to the West in general and to the US in particular over the decades. It's also been costly in terms of poor adherence to stated principles, as the US continues to be led on a leash by the Zionist custodians of US politics. In Palestine, all the lofty principles that were set by the US in the aftermath of WWII have been violated by the US itself as it continues to arm and back its Zionist terror militia in the Jewish colony in Palestine.
If Donald Trump is sidelining the UN with his derisive "Piss Board", it is simply because the laws of averages never support outliers. The US has been an outlier when it comes to seeking and implementing real justice in Palestine, and since the US is numerically a tiny minority at the UN it can only rely on its rogue and malfeasant veto to keep defending the indefensible. But that doesn't shield it from the shame it feels at raping every principle over which it itself lectured the world since WWII.
That is why it took a dumb idiot like Trump to expose the cognitive dissonance in US foreign policy on Palestine. He couldn't coutenance the opprobrium of the international community, and especially of his oily fake friends in the Arabian Gulf region, every time the US imposed a veto on the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and the erasure of Palestine from the maps that his encumbering Zionist master is forcing him to agree to.
He's caught between the leash holders - the Zionists who threaten his hold on power in the US and who are shoving a garbage prophecy from humanity's bronze Age down the throat of a slightly more modern and rational humanity - and the oil-barrel attendants, the Muslim Arabs of the Gulf who threaten his access to oil, who remain rabid Islamic enemies of the West, and who, in all likelihood, won't agree to the disappearance of Palestine at the hands of Trump's Zionist friends.
Right now, Trump is still caught between 1- his lack of 'will to power' in Iran. He campaigned on never involving the US in foreign wars and he is, as we speak, withdrawing his troops in shame from Syria, while beating his chest like a gorilla to scare off rivals and enemies, and 2- his Zionist handlers egging him on to bomb Iran and risk inflaming the entire region.
Do not confuse Raymond Aaron's (~1980s) statement that the US has lost its "will to power" with unevolved humanoid Trump's fake will to power which disguises a more pedestrian "will to vanity and fame". Trump doesn't want war with Iran. He's been pushed into one by the Zionist settlers of Palestine.
As stated earlier, how many wars has the US won since 1945? One. Exactly one.
How many has it lost? All save the aforementioned one. Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon.... And every time it's a gut-wrenching soup of insipidly stupid and misplaced patriotism that is strong on vapid slogans and short on genuine understanding of empire. All these wars start with a campaign of lies and misinformation to rally behind them the largely ignorant and disgustingly credulous American people, then no sooner has the blood started running down the sewers that the said patriotic imbeciles lose interest and return to their nativist isolationist nature, and the enterprise ends up in debacle and retreat.
Trump is an idiot. And that is the scariest part of it all. He can be easily swayed by his retinue of Zionist lawyers, financiers, lobbyists and political pundits to go along a disastrous campaign in Iran. Iran is not Iraq. Iran is not Afghanistan. It is far more problematic than either of these two wars. Trump may have been advised against a land invasion and for a sustained-but-short (which is a contradiction of sorts) intensive campaign of bombing in the hope that the Ayatollahs regime will fall. And all of this while naively excluding any other players, regional or otherwise, and also ignoring the unintended consequences that often replace the original problem.
António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said yesterday that there is a global rise in the rule of force across the world. It's as if humanity never learns from its own history. Deranged "great men" like Trump, Putin, Jinping and others, all born after WWII, believe they can succeed where others before them (Hitler, Mussolini, Staline, Mao) back in the 1930s failed.
US military leaders are terrified of a war on Iran that is being shoved down the throat of America by Netanyahu and his ultra-religious fanatic fundamentalist Zionist land thieves and war criminals. Will Trump heed their message? Will he finally tell his Zionist handlers to back off? They may convince him to let Israel initiate the hostilities then ask for American assistance. This way, Trump will have the deniability he needs to tell the American electorate - already exhausted by his senile demented antics - that he never wanted a war against Iran but that he is obligated to assist the western Jewish implant and Anglo-American bastard child Israel?
Colonialism succeeded for centuries because colonial powers invaded with boots on the ground and dispatched administrators to organize the pilfering of the colonized country's resources under the threat of violence. Americans thought they could do the same and succeed - because of their self-proclaimed "uniqueness" - where others failed. Slogans like "nation-building", "white man's mission", "converting the heathens", "civilizing the savages", "importing democracy".... are artefacts of the past. But Trump's imbeciles - Rubio, Hegseth, et al. - who may have read a chapter once in their freshman intro university course about those nostalgia-resonating slogans, and in their mentality of urbanized riffraff, thought they could bring these fantasies back from the Stone Age and down to Middle Earth.
Will Trump succumb to the supplications of his Middle America morons and his Zionist handlers and embark on war against Iran? If he does, he will lose the 2026 AND 2028 elections and he would be scarring the world far deeper than his chaotic policies so far have.

United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at media reports stating that General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned him of potential risks of attacking Iran, including becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict and the possibility of US casualties.
Trump responded to the reports in a social media post on Monday, stating that Caine believes a war with Iran, which the president has threatened with a military attack if it does not accept a series of demands, could be “easily won”.
The Washington Post newspaper reported earlier in the day that Caine had told Trump during a meeting last week that a lack of critical munitions and support from regional allies could hinder US efforts to contain a possible Iranian retaliation in the event of an attack by the US.
US munitions stockpiles, including those used in missile defence systems, have been stretched thin by their use in support of allies such as Israel and Ukraine, according to the report.
“Caine also has raised concerns about the scale of any Iran campaign, its inherent complexity and the possibility of US casualties,” the newspaper reported, citing a person familiar with “internal discussions” on the matter.
Caine’s office responded to The Washington Post article by stating that he is tasked with providing “a range of military options, as well as secondary considerations and associated impacts and risks, to the civilian leaders who make America’s security decisions”.
The online news outlet Axios, which also reported on Caine’s concerns in discussions with Trump, said in an article on Monday evening that Caine has been the sole military figure briefing Trump on Iran for several weeks.
The outlet reported that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief, Admiral Brad Cooper, tasked with overseeing US military operations in the Middle East, has not been invited to meetings or spoken with Trump since January.
A ‘reluctant warrior’ on Iran
Axios, citing two sources, reported that while Caine “was all-in on the Venezuela operation” to abduct President Nicolas Maduro in January, “he has been more cautious in the discussions around Iran”.
“Citing that contrast, one source described Caine as a ‘reluctant warrior’ on Iran. Caine sees the stakes of a major operation in Iran as higher, with a greater risk for entanglement and American casualties,” Axios reported, citing two sources privy to high-level meetings in the US administration.
Trump hit back on his social media platform against what he called “fake news media” and reports that “General Daniel Caine… is against us going to War with Iran”.
“He has not spoken of not doing Iran, or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about. He only knows one thing: how to WIN and, if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack,” Trump said.
“Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so,” the president said.
Trump has been mulling an attack on Iran for weeks, concentrating an enormous array of US forces in the Middle East in preparation for a possible war that could spread chaos and conflict across the region.
Iran offers little discernible threat to the US, and an unprovoked attack would likely violate international law.
Iran has expressed hope that negotiations can bear fruit, but it has rejected what it says are a series of maximalist US demands on issues such as nuclear enrichment, ballistic missiles, and support for regional proxies.
Analysts have noted that many of Washington’s demands on Tehran align with Israeli priorities.
