Nobel laureate Paul Krugman writes in Substack that the delusional and violent Malignant Fascist's war on Iran has already catastrophically failed, and that the MF is trying to extract himself while getting pushback from some war-minded allies in the U.S. He closes his article with this:
"Can America still snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or should it accept a deal that leaves us clearly worse off than we were before the war? The answer is that running away — if that is what Trump is doing — is now the right move. It’s better to accept a bad deal, one that leaves America much weaker than it was a few months ago, than to double down on a failed war. Time is not on our side: looming shortages of critical weapons, the imminent exhaustion of world oil inventories, and the lost support of our allies and the American public mean that this war needs to end soon." (our emphasis)
The MF's recent backpedaling from his usual "peace is at hand" b.s. illustrates that a peace agreement -- one that will satisfy the warmongers and the Netanyahu government -- is far from completion, and that they may force him into a "bomb the hell out of them" mode. Time will tell, but it's clear that Iran still has powerful cards yet to play that the foolhardy MF didn't count on.
