This Is Really Jacked Up

 

                                                             This Is Really Jacked Up!

            In February Donald Trump using the cover and pretext of negotiating a peace agreement with Iran launched another sneak attack on Iran (he and Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran in June of 2025 which did not turn out well either). Neither attack resulted in the outcomes Trump and Netanyahu promised: a quick and easy victory, Iran’s leadership decapitated and the nation pacified to the will of the US and Israel. None of that happened and here we are in late Summer of 2026, the situation is worsening daily.

            Things are totally Jacked Up but you wouldn’t know it due to the corporate media cheerleader/prostitute’s coverage. How Jacked Up are things you ask? Well, here is just a few of the direct consequences of Trump and Netanyahu’s misadventure against Iran.

 The war is expanding. It’s not just the US, Israel and the vassal states of the GCC against Iran and its allies; now Saudi Arabia is involved and is trying to drag Somalia, Jordan, Qatar, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan and Djibouti into it! SO far none of these countries have joined the fighting but it just may be a matter of time!

Meanwhile Russia and China remain hard core supporters of Iran and seem committed to not allowing the US/NATO to do to Iran what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Venezuela. Both Russia and China are supplying Iran with highly effective satellite imaging and guidance for their long-range missiles which has turned the tide of the conflict.

Iran, Ansar Allah (the Houthis) and now Al-Shabeeb in Somalia are launching lethal drone and missile attacks against the GCC nations, Saudi Arabia, US military facilities and Israeli targets.  US bases in the region have been effectively neutralized and voided. Iran has totally nullified US aircraft carriers which were the cornerstone of US oceanic hegemony since WWII, and the world is watching!

            Meanwhile the US and NATO continue to back and prop up the Nazis in Ukraine (whom the US helped install in 2014 under Obama) with funds, weapons and vocal support. Essentially this is a proxy war against Russia and the Russians know it. As a result, the US is running low on defensive anti air missiles to the point they are taking them from other theaters leaving the Pacific in short supply because the US lacks the capacity to replenish or replace these missiles any time soon. The United States does not have the industrial capabilities to mobilize and restock those munitions, period!

            Even if the US had the contracts and ability to produce armaments and support systems, they lack the vital materials to manufacture them because the Chinese have a ninety percent monopoly on the refinement and processing of the rare earth minerals needed to manufacture the missiles, guidance systems, radar systems, satellites and other critical components of these modern weapons systems.  

The US also lacks access to the rare earth minerals because the Chinese will not sell them to America! Talk about a double whammy? The leaders of the world know this including America’s adversaries! This makes Trump’s bluster and bravado all the more irrational. It also explains why Iran doesn’t fall for Trump’s okey-doke any more. Why would they after Trump attacked them under the cloak of negotiations? Trump has placed the American military in an untenable situation.

            On the non-military front, Trump’s war is wreaking havoc on the global economy causing supply chain disruptions, massive price increases and shortages not just for oil, but for food, fertilizer, and countless consumer products. America’s allies in Asia are really hurting; they are looking at Trump sideways because they know his actions are the cause of their pain, inconvenience and suffering.

            Lastly, Trump’s war is a major factor in the US government’s increasing debt. US government debt has risen to $39 trillion (with a T), $406.5 billion since the February start of Trump’s war! The Pentagon requested an additional $200 billion in extra funding. How does this make you feel when you consider the US debt to GDP is an astounding 133.88%! This means the debt totals more than all the goods and services produced by this country!  This is not only insane it is unsustainable! This cannot go on, especially since China and other nations are dumping American T Bills and purchasing gold. Plus, the BRICS + alliance is moving to replace the US Dollar with other currencies from within their group. This means the US Empire’s day are numbered.

 If you owed 133.88% more than you were worth and the banks, loan sharks, your family and friends were no longer willing to give or lend you money, you would be in deep trouble. Needless to say, the US is in deep trouble and that’s totally Jacked up!
