A wounded snake is more dangerous than a healthy one

When a snake is wounded, especially a highly venomous one, it is said to be more dangerous than when it has not been injured. How this, a probing mind or person may ask?

A wounded snake is always comparable to a snake that feels it is under attack, thus, its life is physically threatened and could lose it at any moment should it drop its guard. In that critical defensive situation, it is understood to be ready to push all, or a maximum, of its venom or poison, into its attacker or predator when it gives a survival bite. The poison is readied in its mouth to be discharged!

When you feel your life is about to end by the evil machinations of another person, no matter how weak you are, you muster all your strength to fight back. This is especially so with animals when they find themselves boxed into a corner.

In the situation of life or death, thus, fight for survival, one gathers all their fighting accoutrements for the fight, hence the wounded snake becoming more poisonous when it gives that bite of survival, pumping tenfold or all its venom into its attacker in the hope of saving itself by eliminating the attacker.

Similarly, American President Donald Trump should be informed of how dangerous he has made the Iranians after attacking them for whatever assigned reasons or motives.

Unless he finds effective ways to successfully achieve his motive for attacking them, Iran will become manifold more dangerous than before it got attacked.

The Islamic leadership will suppress the people more than never, eliminating any dissent, killing any citizen that raises opposition against them in any form or shape. If they were previously a bit tolerant towards dissenters, they will be a hundredfold more brutal towards them after the attack. The little freedom of expression and human rights they had will forever be taken away from them.

Can anyone raise a voice or go on public demonstration against the leaders of Iran and their harsh rule now than when it was before the Americans and Israelis attacked Iran? No and no!

Whoever dares do that should consider themselves dead in advance.

Having said that, President Trump must find an effective way to end the war than his unceasingly confusing “Truth Social” posts.

The Iranian leaders are now more emboldened to eliminate dissenters and become more autocratic than when they were before the start of the war. They have become more resistant to dissension and are ready to fight the Americans and Israelis than never.

Where then is the achievement of President Donald Trump when he has made the whole world suffer by the emboldened stance taken by the Iranians to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to the detriment of almost all the worldwide countries depending on the oil passing through that waterway?

Iran is now the wounded snake that is ready to gather all her weapon arsenals to fight till their last breath. They are like a wounded snake fighting for survival or readying to cause the maximum lethal damage before it dies.

The writer suggests to President Trump to find effective ways to finish the war by either pulling out, ceasing his dithering confusing-dotted Truth Social posts or going all the way out to decapitate the wounded snake before it causes more harm.

America, like Russia, has got herself into a war in which both underestimated the strength and capability to fight by the attacked countries.

The writer wishes all the parties in the war good luck, especially those that in the eyes of God are being wronged. In the eyes of God, those being wronged could be the aggressed or the aggressor, who knows!

When you see a wounded snake, run away from it because its inflicted bite is multiple times more poisonous and lethal than before it got injured.

Just a suggestion to President Donald Trump!
