Your guide to what the second period of Trump means to Washington, business and the world

They say with Donald Trump that the accusation is a confession. After warning during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, will lead to “World War III”, Trump is now providing a risk fraught with this proposal. In his statement on Saturday night, Trump announced his success for Iran. He said that the American bombs that penetrate the cellar had bound the Iranian nuclear capacity. It may take some time to find out whether both Iran and Israel – the main actors in the offer that Trump was not a scenario but will now participate in the starring role – in evaluating the American president. But Trump hopes to offer him his great offer to power in the war. This is not his decision to make.

Whatever happens after that, it is worth remembering how Trump has arrived here. Ten days ago, Benjamin Netanyahu negotiated Trump’s nuclear negotiations with Iran A series of destroyed missile strikes. The Israeli Prime Minister said that Iran was the weapon of its nuclear program and pose an existential threat. Most of the others, including the American intelligence community, do not share the diagnosis of Netanyahu. After his desirable deal in Israel’s move, Trump was quickly associated with himself. He demanded the devotion of unpleasant Iran and said that the Supreme Leader of the regime, Ali Khameneini, could come out at any time. Iran was not subject to Trump. His actual announcement of the war was the result.

It also stresses that no one, including Trump, knows what will happen next. It is easy to start a war, especially if you are leading the strongest army on the ground. But wars end only when one side surrenders. This old warning about the fog of war is especially related to the Middle East today, as there are often more than two warring parties. Your enemy can also turn into your enemy. After a lecture was given by the younger Netanyahu, Bill Clinton told an assistant, “Who is the superpower here?” Trump’s brief address in the wake of the strikes was supposed to show his leadership of the situation. In fact, Netanyahu dictated events. But he cannot predict how Iran responds.

Netanyahu’s interests are not the same Trump. The leader of Israel has made it clear that he wanted to collapse the regime in Iran. Trump wants Iran to surrender. The first will be deposited through a strong Iranian response that Trump left no choice but to escalate – a possibility he threatened in his speech. The second will involve an Iranian symbolic revenge that enabled Trump to announce the mission. How to reveal this, which gets a diagnosis whether Iran’s actions are symbolic or fatal, greatly come out of Trump’s hands. This leaves him as the strongest military actor in the Middle East, but it is likely to be hollow. Power revolves around the ability to form events. Trump is largely their prisoner.

Whatever happens, the Trump bombing of Iran has determined his presidency at home as well as abroad. This is the Trump war now. Iran’s introduction will be hesitant in his favor in several ways; A complete war can sink his presidency. Among the paradoxes, Trump’s Iranian strikes were chanting by many “Trumps” who were flagrantly warning of Trump’s authoritarian pulses. They are ready to risk the opportunity to postpone the power that the war will offer. Another paradox is that Maga’s Trump, such as Steve Bannon, is among the largest skeptics in this last chapter, and perhaps the most dramatic, in “wars forever” that Trump pledges to end.

Only a fool takes Trump in his word, which he breaks in a serial manner. But it is safe to say that his ambition to win the Nobel Peace Prize is unlikely to pay off. Without consulting Congress, and in a possible violation of international law, Trump took a fateful gamble. Whether he has fully digested this fact or not, it is now committed to seeing this until the end. Iran and Israel will have a great opinion like Trump in determining when and how this happens.
