Trump’s Indecision on Iran War Deepens Global Economic Pain

The American President Donald Trump by his indecision over how to bring the Iran war to an end is a great concern to many a discerning person. By his joint Americo-Israeli war on Iran and their underestimation of the resolve of Iran to fight back, almost the whole world is suffering from the consequences of the ill-planned and ill-timed war.

By the comparative gigantic land size, technological advancement, military and economic might of America, President Donald Trump deceived himself into thinking Iran could easily be overrun in any war with the mighty America, let alone with America and Israel combined. However, he has been proven totally wrong on the battlefield.

Iran, an Islamic nation with their own strong religious beliefs does not capitulate so easily, especially so before enemies they consider as infidels.

Instead of pulling out of the war he started for whatever reason, knowing that he cannot win it for all the military arsenals America has got, the clearly autocratic leader has rather chosen to dither through constant changes as does the octopus or chameleon.

He seems to be the first of a kind of president that governs their country in most part through social media. His indecision on plans to fight Iran or implement his policies for ruling America are always first read on his Truth Social platform before his cabinet becomes aware of anything as such. What a leader!

America has bitten far bigger than it can chew but to spit it out is its problem.

Many countries the world over, especially those that depend on the oil coming from the Middle East through the Strait of Hormuz are suffering from the external shocks of the ill-timed Americo-Israeli and Iran war.

From the recent wars dating as far back as thirty years or so ago, it has become evident that it is not easy to wage a war on a country and win it easily, apart from the one by Israel on Gaza.

Both Russia and America, superpowers, went to war on Afghanistan at various times but had to pull out in disgrace. None was able to win that war decisively.

Russia, a superpower, has been waging war on Ukraine almost for the past three to four years now but it is nowhere near winning the war.

All these wars have adversely impacted the entire world economically. Prices of goods and services have gone up to drain the pockets of many ordinary people.

President Trump must please stop the war to alleviate the world of the unnecessarily ongoing economic hardships brought about because of the war. He must either apply the needed force to win the war or pull out of it awash in shame and to the disgrace of almighty America.

He had better stop ruling America by his Truth Social platform but to consult with his cabinet to save himself from unnecessary embarrassments and dithering.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is firmer than President Trump when it comes to decision making without dithering.

Wars are not good, similarly, ruling a country through social media posts is not genial.
