Is Trump playing a performative con game in the Middle East?

Is a con game in progress . . .

 

. . . on behalf of throttling down the war with Iran and ensuring Israel's survival?

 

For the details of how this Trumpian con game might be working to corral Israel's maniacal attempts to obliterate Iran — as well as to give president Trump some breathing room against America's own genocidally inclined Zionist masters — see:

Hmm

 

Faced with Zionists' genocidally inclined grip on the United States — and their constant pressure for creating constant chaos in the Middle East — Trump may talking a good Zionist line. While surreptitiously undercutting Israel's decades-long — and self-destructive — attempt to obliterate Iran.

 

This so, by removing Israel's decades-long excuse that Iran is just days away from dropping nukes upon the purportedly golden glow of Zionism's (allegedly biblically granted) homeland. Or some such theistically derived psychosis.

 

Trump's con might have worked with diplomatic assistance from Russia and China. This certainly would have involved backdoor talking to Iran.

 

The hidden-from-the-public feature occurring, so as to arrange the theatrically staged bombing of Iran's nuclear enrichment locations and Trump's subsequent grossly inflated announcement that Iran's nuclear program had been completely destroyed.

 

 

How else for instance, asks Krainer . . .

 

. . . to explain how Iran knew exactly what was coming and removed all its enriched uranium supplies before anything happened.

 

Would the Americans really have missed satellite views of the removal's progress, while it was happening?

 

Probably not.

 

Which means that the United States' bomb attack against the Iranian enrichment program was not really intended to crush anything of substance.

 

Similarly, how else to explain the equally theatrical — and previously announced to the United States — Iranian attack on the US base in Qatar. Again with no casualties.

 

 

Do notice that . . .

 

. . . with Iran's nuclear program purportedly eliminated, President Trump arguably has cleared the stage for less violent activities.

 

Including removing Israel's persistent — and repeatedly disproven — claim that Iran is about to nuke-bomb the Zionist-controlled Holy Land out of existence.

 

Here, as the astute Professor Gilbert Doctorow explained, this mutually engaged bomb and missile episode has been like an old fashioned black powder pistol duel. A duel in which shooting into the air is enough to satisfy personal honor.

 

 

And now that . . .

 

. . .  'the enriched uranium capability is gone' lie has been established, Israel's past excuse for attacking Iran is (at least temporarily) stalled.

 

In consequence, president Trump may have created breathing room against the genocidal nutcases, who run the United States — while he goes on to accomplish some of his other goals.

 

For example, a goal like beginning to distance the United States from the financial burden posed by NATO. Which he seems to have successfully signaled at NATO's recent meeting.

 

 

But . . .

 

Why would Netanyahu go along with this — likely false — 'no enriched uranium left' American-generated script?

 

Krainer and Doctorow think that Netanyahu was desperate to end Iran's ongoing missile ability to damage Israel more than any other opponent has ever accomplished.

 

Certainly, Netanyahu knew that Iran's missile supply vastly exceeded Israel's own. And thus, Israel was on the brink of being carted from the field.

 

Ergo, a grateful Netanyahu yielded to Trump's attempt to create this ceasefire, even under faked circumstances.

 

In other words, Trump saved Israel from destroying itself.

 

 

The moral? — Is some respect due?

 

If Trump's purported con works the way that Krainer and Doctorow think, qualified respect goes to President Trump.

 

Admittedly, I think that this convoluted scheme is beyond Trump's ability, by himself, to dream up and implement.

 

Hence, Putin and perhaps, Xi, were likely also involved in the backdoor theater endeavor.

 

If so, how's that for an early birthing of the anticipated multi-polar world?

 

Arguably more important still, what strikes me is that We the People are now living in propagandized simulation of a reality in which superficial appearances are never real.

 

We are constantly being played to the benefit of those who run the world. Thus, I can see a version of purported reality in which Orange Man Bad magically becomes one of History's heroes.

 

When madness has fully crumbled our Western world — as it certainly is in the progress of doing — I suppose we can be grateful for the arguably happy-making lies that our serf-making Masters create to take reality's place.

 

Such as:

 

 

Orange Man will save us.

 

Relax and be entertained.

 

Vacuity is good.

 

 

Not so many years from now, Artificial Intelligence will — we might rationally suspect — eliminate most of us to make a richer world for The Performative Masters to revel in.

 

This might not even be a step backward. Some species are too inept to survive ordinary circumstances. Much less, dangerous ones of their own creation.
