TRUMP has not yet revealed his aims and targeted outcomes in conflict with Iran, because they are the two words ‘America wins’. We break that down:
America wins part one: airstrikes
In this stage, America wins because it is destroying Iranian military capabilities with hundreds of millions of dollars of missiles, as a winner would do. This also proves America is strong because it does what Israel wants it to.
America wins part two: Iran retaliates
Iran’s retaliation, sending thousands of missiles to strike neighbouring states allied with America, is a win for America because no American targets are hit. Trump was therefore right to begin this risk-free war.
America wins part three: more airstrikes
It is necessary to be resolute and stay the course in war, and Trump is prepared to do so for however many weeks it takes providing they do not exceed five.
America wins part four: Iran closes Straits of Hormuz
Unfortunately, being physically within the Gulf region and not on a different continent an ocean away gives Iran certain military advantages. These will only raise the price of oil, destabilise the global order and cause massive economic shocks, so can be discounted.
America wins part five: Trump announces win
Nothing is real until announced by Trump, so his declaration when meeting press that America is winning so much it has broken into a hitherto unknown realm of winning called The Winworld means this is now established fact.
America wins part six: Other countries exhorted to join in the win
The US, like its president, would never be selfish about its wins. So other nations, whether Iran’s neighbours or European powers, are invited to join in the win by defending their own bases, shipping lanes or sovereign territory in perpetuity.
America wins part seven: America walks away
Win secured, why would America hang around? There’s only so much glory to bask in. So, after an amazing few weeks of winning, the US withdraws all troops, ships and air support and goes home. Enjoy the win, everyone. No complaining now.
