Having brought his country to the brink of war, the U.S. president returns to his own re-election campaign and impeachment
Smashing Israel’s record for brevity by a convincing margin, Donald Trump declared victory in his Two-Day War on Wednesday, postponing Armageddon until further notice, urging Americans to be “extremely grateful and happy,” inviting Iran’s theocrats to join him in architecting a mutually prosperous future, and allowing the capital to resume the molasses-in-January process of the president’s two-year impeachment.
“You cut Soleimani’s hand from his body, your foot will be cut from the region,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani colourfully chipped in – an outcome that, though highly unlikely, would fulfill Trump’s own long-stated goal of erasing the American military presence from the Muslim world. “We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country.” The president announced his intention “to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process,” in addition to the thousands of additional land, air, and naval elements he already has sent to the intractable sand pits to frighten the Iranian regime.
Somewhere over the rainbow, a post-Trump, post-Khamenei, post-Putin world waits beyond the horizon, but for now, our bomb-cratered planet braces for more of the old men’s wars.
