THE ISLANDER

Donald Trump stood in the East Room of the White House on Day 17 and told the world that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way” to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. He couldn’t name a single one. He said “very few shots are going to be taken because they don’t have many shots left.” This is the man whose own intelligence community confirmed Iran fired well in excess of a thousand powerful ballistic missiles and 4000 drones since February 28. Wave 57 landed tonight. Greek Patriot systems are being pulled for Qatar. THAAD components are gone from South Korea. Two Israeli interceptors fired in the wrong direction. The Khatam al-Anbiya command — which has been bombed, decapitated and bombed again — is still issuing targeting coordinates. American bases decimated, forcing servicemen to evacuate and seek refuge in Gulf hotels which have also been hit hard. Economic interests across the region are being devastated. The strait of Hormuz is in full control of Iran, only allowing friendly nations access. Much of Israel looks like an orange (poetic?) Apocalypse. He called Iran a “paper tiger.” This paper tiger mined the world’s most important shipping lane, closed it for 17 days, hit Dubai airport four times, struck the US embassy in Baghdad twice, fired on American bases across nine countries, sent a tanker fleet to the ocean floor, and caused the largest emergency oil reserve release in the history of the International Energy Agency. Iran spends less than 2 percent of America's 1 trillion defence budget, you want to talk shitty ROI and a paper tiger? When the last clean win came in the micro island of Grenada some wonder if we could punch ourselves out of a paper bag, let alone Iran, let alone Russia. He said “we’ve been protecting you for 40 years and you don’t want to get involved in something very insignificant.” Australia said no. Japan said no. Germany said no. France said defensive posture only. Spain said no. Sweden said no. Luxembourg said no. South Korea is “carefully reviewing.” Britain needs to “consult the team” but then said they wouldn't be dragged into the wider war. The countries "protected for 40 years" looked at the kill zone Iran built into the Hormuz geography, looked at more than 57 devasting waves, looked at the IRGC’s satellite targeting lists and decided that forty years of the protection racket wasn’t worth sailing their ships into an Iranian shooting gallery for a war Washington started without them on orders from Israel. The Apprentice launched the most consequential war in a generation, destroyed the coalition before it formed, begged the world for minesweepers, called it insignificant, named no countries, and the Strait is still closed to the Epstein coalition. Day 18 now. The paper tiger has the keys. The mighty Epstein coalition is locked outside looking at the consequences of Bibi's 40 year dream.
