Rober Kagan: Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender

Neocons like Kagan be pissed. Of course, this will unleash incredible pressure on Trump for boots on the ground, nuclear weapons, etc.

Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender

Trump no doubt hopes that he can slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat. The financial markets may stabilize if it is clear that oil will eventually start flowing again through a reopened strait, even if under the new Iran-controlled system. A major strategic setback for the United States need not affect Wall Street. The president may also hope that he can change the subject by launching another military operation, this time against the government in Cuba. And the news media have indeed begun writing more about Cuba than about the unfolding disaster in Iran.
According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.

    The question is whether Trump’s outsized ego is greater than his greed. Since Trump has pocketed billions from The Jews, he is logically concerned about his future earnings. If he make a deal with Iran, he forgoes the dough. He also loses his rep as Destroyer of Worlds, Maga Man of the Century.

    Lots of losses here for the mad kIng. On the other hand, the teensy possibility of Winning thru mega death of Iranians and Iran itself (the death of a whole civilization he said recently) and world economic economic upheaval, and starvation of millions….is worth it, per Jew Albright a few years ago. Caligula made his horse a Senator, and Trump made Bibi his Devil crime partner…so I put my money on Trump the Jew Messiah, the most recent of failed Messiahs. No Whimper for Trumpsein, but a Big Bang.

    Happy endings here for us one way or the other. Israel loses big or small. Great. Israel is more or less finished anyway, say most of the commenters.

    Here at home, my sense is that we got a depression coming, what with the historical cycle of boom/bust much delayed from 2008 recession. With depression, comes more Trump/GOP Failure. With more war or even less war, Trump loses as public opinion on the forever wars further deteriorates . Also, our systemic economics of financial, not productivist, capitalism coupled with archaic military strategy badly out of date with the aircraft carrier symbolizing our 20th century military technology, we are in a decayed state (thank god).

    Trump/Gop/Democrat Mudslide idolatry….more happy endings, but it will take about ten years or more for the disaster to reveal the bankruptcy of Liberalism/Race Equality, and the beginning of an essentially fascist recovery
