Trump stole a billion dollars of Iranian crypto assets. Trump was is calling it an economic war. I suppose that is better than the bombings, but, the Iranian people are in a danger zone without the ability to have food on the table and clean water to drink.
I don’t see the Trump regime acting in a method that is trustworthy. The USA in any peace treaty will have to pay war reparations. Taking a billion dollars U.S. in assets is counter productive. Surprises are not welcome when building trust in peace negotiations.
Closing the Straits of Hormuz is not hurting Iran. It is hurting the global economy. Iran isn’t even concerned about the Persian Gulf mess. Iran is focusing on Lebanon. Iran wants the suffering of people to stop. Money is not what it is most concerned about.
The entire escalation in the region is going to create more and more consternation among the countries of the region. The conflicts are not going well. It is time to look at this differently. The suffering of economic dynamics is reaching far beyond Iran. It is not only an economic war with Iran. It is an economic war with the world.
Hezbollah is not such a huge threat it requires this level of conflict. The Trump regime’s economic war is not damaging Hezbollah. It is strengthening its resolve. The USA and Israel have brought those suffering in Lebanon and Iran closer together. The USA is not limiting Israel in its advance, it is giving it permission and supplementing the effort.
It is very disheartening to see decency and diplomacy abandoned for hatred and killing. When is it going to stop? Just because Israel and the USA can throw its military weight around does not mean it should. Military strength and intelligence is an advantage for national security, not permission to kill without end any people perceived as undesirable. Where does it stop? Does it stop? How long must the world tolerate these assaults against people unable to defend themselves or deflect economic hardship?
