Mark Wauck: Trump backs off Iran war

February 12, 2026/11 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Let’s hope Wauck is right about this.

Trump/Iran

Trump successfully stiffed Netanyahu—that seems to be the obvious takeaway from Trump’s media post and the lack of a joint press conference after the meeting. The Jewish Nationalist demands were, of course, totally unreasonable. They always are—it goes with the ideological territory. There are a variety of reasons for why Trump grew a backbone, despite the extreme Jewish pressure for war.

  1. Trump’s polling is a disaster—and getting worse. The economy, Epstein, war instead of peace, genocide—it’s all bad for Trump’s polling. Below we’ll discuss pushback from Congress on tariffs. There are no positives.
  2. The region, the Middle East, is up in arms against this and major countries—Turkey, Egypt (!), KSA, Pakistan—are forming a common front against Anglo-Zionism. That’s another disaster.
  3. Russia and China appear to be all in in support of Iran. The degree of support they’re offering could contribute to an escalation of #4.
  4. I’d be willing to bet that the US military has warned Trump that military action won’t get him what he wants and could result in significant losses/casualties. That could have very serious strategic consequences.
  5. Everything and anything bad that results from 1-4 could spell the political end of Trump’s second term and guarantee impeachment.

Thus, Trump “insisted” on continued “negotiations” with Iran. That may just be a posture. There may be no need for a deal—the real point could simply be: no war. In point of fact, in his statement Trump doesn’t even promise war if there’s no deal. The bottom line is that this makes Trump look like he’s able to stand up to the Jewish Nationalists after all. We shall see, but for Trump it’s a reprieve.

    Anyone who thinks Americans are childless morons is wrong. Jewish Americans study practically around the clock (Torah, Talmud, Mishnah) in addition to making indispensable contribution to population growth.

    The American state is obliged to pay for this with its tax money without accusing these über-intelligent people of “fraud”! This videopost is an antisemitic attack on a harmless community and should be banned!

    As always, the infallible “ADL” has correctly recognized: “Oliveira’s claims harken back to age-old antisemitic stereotypes.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Oliveira

    As a keen observer you spelled out the reasons well.

    But I do not see impeachment related to those items. The left would find silly reasons to impeach, not related to foreign policy.

    German actor Hartmut Becker looks like
    another version of Kevin MacDonald.

    Aquarius’s ironic attitude towards
    life is perfectly expressed in the fa-
    ce of aging actor Hansjörg Felmy.

    In comparison, even Roger
    Waters looks like a drunkard.

    Faces say “more than a thousand words.”
    Life has left its mark on them. Is there any-
    thing more exciting than “silent portraits”?
    What exactly is it that we see there: Is it ar-
    rogance, vanity, modesty, serenity, wisdom?

      Faces “speak.” It’s amazing what they
      convey. What does Felmy’s face say?

      “You don’t believe any of what they
      are trying to drum into you, do you?”

      “I view you as a human being without pre-
      judice. I examine very closely who you are!”

        “Evil Nazi war-criminal’s son!” Felmy: This smile has been earned through suffering, and that is why it is firm and unshakeable; every Aquarius embodies tragicomedy. It is the triumph of reason over clumsy inconsistency.

        Everything that could ever be of value is wrested from the cruel conformity and incomprehensibly primitive “contemporary world”! For an Aquarius, it is inconceivable, unthinkable to exist in a realm of external control.

        The Symposium of the Stars

        The night began with cosmic flair —
        the signs had gathered, proud and rare.
        Aries slammed the table: “Hear!
        That Water-Bearer mocks our sphere!”

        Taurus snorted, polishing gold,
        “He trades in dreams, not things to hold.”
        Gemini chimed, two voices loud,
        “His mind’s a cloud above the crowd.”

        The Virgin frowned, adjusting fate,
        “He doubts the plans I calculate!”
        Leo posed, mane all aflame,
        “He steals my light, yet shuns my fame!”

        Then Sagittarius tipped his glass,
        “Adventure’s mine — he’s just high-class.”
        Capricorn sighed, “He questions rules —
        that’s how societies breed fools.”

        Pisces whispered in starry awe,
        “He swims in thought — not in the law.”

        And through this racket, measured, clear,
        Aquarius rose, eyes full of mirth and mirror.
        “Dear friends,” he said, “you speak of me
        as if I’m chaos, set to spree.
        Yet what’s a storm but thought unbound?
        What’s madness but the truth uncrowned?”

        Libra gasped — for balance shook,
        as if the scales themselves mistook.
        “You dress rebellion up as grace,”
        she murmured, flushing in her place.

        Aquarius bowed, a wink, a spark:
        “When others build, I light the dark.
        The world turns slow — but my design
        invents tomorrow, line by line.”

        Silence fell — till Leo sighed,
        “Well damn, that speech was dignified.”
        Then laughter bloomed through every sign —
        even Saturn cracked a line.

        And though the stars all play their part,
        they knew who ruled that cosmic art.
        For wit, when crowned with lucid mind,
        outshines the suns that stay confined.

        (And somewhere, deep beyond their sight,
        the universe itself smiled bright.)

        “How do you manage to always be so cheerful?”

        It’s a wave of energy that carries you along, a “current,” and you have to trust it. It’s like being “high without being high.” Your mind is high! So you see horse heads and compare them to people in current political life! You laugh, and no one understands why! It’s not important that others “understand” you (especially not them!).

        “How do you get yourself into that kind of mood?”

        You just have to work yourself up into it by wanting more and more of it!

        “Isn’t that dangerous?”

        Dangerous only to those who seek to control you!

        “But could you describe step by step how it usually works?”

        It’s your will. If you decide to have fun, it will happen! From now on, you are an unconditional fun seeker! It’s important that you now realize whether you are the master or servant, victim or perpetrator of your time! From now on, you are the designer and creator of your tangible reality. That’s all there is to it; the whole principle is based on expectation and fulfillment. You’ll never let yourself feel miserable again, no matter whose f*neral you’re supposed to cry at!

        “But Aquarius means more than just to have fun like Cindy Lauper’s dull-witted girls!”

        Of course. You now begin to shape the environment around you in such a way that it corresponds as closely as possible to your expectations of an ideal world. Otherwise, you carelessly break it and leave everyone else to pick up the pieces. Until they understand what matters.

        “That sounds like quite a lot of conflict!”

        It is, but since you are constructively minded, you see it as a beautiful thunderstorm. The joke is that you embrace everything that deviates from the norm as a welcome episode in your life. After all, your existence now consists solely of thunderstorms and chaos, in which you, as the calming influence, maintain a superior overview. Of course, you can’t experience all of this without a certain amount of social skill. If you don’t have these, there’s basically no helping you, because then you’re a child.

        “What happens when you encounter social interaction, how do you engage?”

        First, I look at hierarchies, then at sympathies. If the boss is a nice guy, he doesn’t have to worry about people turning against him. If he’s a stupid asshole, his best days are numbered.

        “Who’s to judge whether he’s a stupid asshole, your super genius?”

        Whose else, your mother’s perhaps? You have to learn to rely on your own sound judgment. Otherwise, you won’t be reliable for anyone, not even yourself. Of course, you can observe the scene at first. If the people aren’t worth sparking a revolution for, you play along with them for a while and then leave them to their beloved simple-mindedness.

    Today, one gets the impression that one is dealing with spiritual illiterates who need to have the meaning of irony spelled out for them: “Can we still afford irony, sardonicism, sarcasm? Just look at the serious danger that threatens us every day!” I suspect that their intellect is so underdeveloped that it already serves their masters perfectly well. So they have not become external observers, but internal prisoners.

    In the name of their masters, they are now forcing their unconditionally “serious” perspective on us, without adding even a spark of healthy distance from their “personality.” If these barbarians, these apes, were to “win,” the Eloi would no longer be able to laugh at the Morlocks! And that would be their death sentence: dying because of God’s unwillingness to continue to tolerate their lack of humor! Ridiculous!
