War May Be about to Widen Hyugely

I’m putting this headline/video right on top because this guy makes an awful lot of clear-headed, basic sense.

Now that the Houthis have joined the war and Iran has stated they are tasked with closing the Red Sea, this war could easily become a global catastrophe. We all know how easily this tiny group of dessert rats managed to shut down the Red Sea for all shipping traffic last year. Imagine that both sides of the Arabian peninsula now become shut down to shipping. Now you’re talking a loss of maybe 40% of oil supply being cut off and an enormous amount of other commercial shipping through the Suez Canal. At that point, which could begin tomorrow, following the president’s speech tonight, given that it happened in one day last year, we move from a prognosis of global recession to a full-on global depression.

With the help of Houthis, small as they are, Iran has the capacity to shut off a lot of lights around the world, putting large regions in the dark. Then how is NATO or Europe going to stay out of this? They’re not going to just sit and wait for their lights to come back on. At some point they will be pressed to greater involvement. Yet, the more they get involved in the Middle East, the more oil transportation and refining likely gets knocked out.

On top of that, the Pashtuns, the largest tribal group in the world—who live primarily in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Iran— have just offered to join the war as a jihad in Iran’s defense. While the tribal members in the video probably don’t speak officially for Pakistan, and its not possible to say if they even speak for the majority of Pashtuns, the Pashtuns are a large enough people group to have significant influence on official decisions in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Many high officials in both nations are Pashtun.

Pakistan has nukes. Whether they would use them or not, that certainly changes the calculus. Do these guys have enough influence, if things get desperate enough in Iran, to decide that now is the time to do with Pakistan’s nukes what Iran has been threatening? They could completely wipe Israel out.

That may still be reaching, so let’s say nukes stay out of the equation: You still have Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi’s and now thousands of Pashtun soldiers united in jihad against Israel. Does anyone think that they will back down before they destroy Israel now that things have united them to this degree? So, is Trump going to get out and then just sit and watch Israel and his buddy Netanyahu get ripped to shreds without US help?

This war may abruptly go all-out world war if Trump, tonight, takes the next step he is threatening and begins a land invasion with troops on the turf. Russia is moving nuclear submarines into the gulf and has said that if a land invasion by the US takes place, they will defend Iran. Putin didn’t say Russia would use its nuclear weapons, but that is primarily what those subs are good for. China also said it is ready to deploy 100,000 troops into Iran, should the US launch a ground invasion.

All kinds of headlines whisper today that the president’s big speech tonight may be about starting a ground invasion. The president keeps talking both sides multiple times a day: He may do a ground invasion; he may pull out altogether. He could use the talk to claim he is now pulling out because of his big victory, leaving the region in total chaos with nothing resolved at all. Or we could plunge full on into the darkness of world war tonight.

Trump may think he will pull out in two more weeks (the ultimate extent of his original deadline), but if the war leaps to that global level, it will go so wild he will have no idea what he is going to have to do. Maybe TACO in a hurry, still leaving utter chaos in a situation that has accomplished none of the original objectives he has mentioned. (See: “DEEPER LIES: Trump Displacement Syndrome Hits MAGA in Bitter Outrage over Betrayals.”)

Is confusion a plan? It could be. Let’s hope that what appears to be confusion on Trump’s part about what his objectives really are and what he’s going to do is just intentional chaos to keep Iranians disoriented and off balance, but that certainly doesn’t appear to be the case. He looks and sounds more like a loose canon firing off new objectives and denying old ones every minute. He looks like he suffers Trump derangement. Forget the syndrome. He looks and sounds deranged. Period. Maybe that’s just the plan—a broadening of “the weave” to keep the enemy confused. I doubt it.

We’ll see what Trump does tonight in his big special address to the nation. I doubt this is Armageddon yet, but it is sure a path that has the potential to get us there. I think there are a lot more events to come in between; so, this may just result in an absolutely chaotic Middle East that lays the ground for Armageddon down the road IF Trump pulls out tonight. But, boy, it has never looked so close.

By the way, today was Passover when God rescued Israel from Egypt. Is deliverance like happened with Egypt or like the Six-Day War with Egypt in our time still God’s plan? Or is Israel going to be taught that you cannot take and hold the Promised Land while continuing to reject its promised Prince of Peace? Hence, why he is called the “Prince of Peace.” Peace only come under his rule, and I certainly don’t mean that in any Christian Nationalist way.

Finally: Who said high-tech stocks can’t crash because they are the leaders of the future?

Fortunately, it wasn’t me. But guess where things likely go once we punch through that line so that the bottom falls out. Not a ride I’d want to be on. If you’ve been paying attention here, you definitely dodged a bomb, not bullet. Oh, and don’t expect oil’s miraculous return to lower prices that happened yesterday and today to hold out for long. We’ll see what the president announces tonight. Best-case scenario prices don’t rise as high as they went again UNTIL the shortages from all this wreckage start to make themselves apparent all over the world. Jawboning doesn’t change reality; but prices could soar higher than ever by tomorrow if the president launches a ground invasion.
