Was genau hat der Iran-Krieg Trump und den US-Amerikanern gebracht?
- hohe Inflation
- eine Armee, die ihre Munitionslager aufgebraucht hat
- immense Kosten für den Krieg selbst
- einen absolut schlechteren Deal mit Iran als vorher
- eine 300 Mrd. schwere Reparationsverpflichtung gegenüber dem Iran
Und alles bezahlen die US-Bürger… und wir reden hier von Billionen, nicht mehr Milliarden…
Kein Wunder, konnte Trump nicht einmal ein Casino erfolgreich führen.

“Trump🚨didn’t just bomb Iran.
He bombed water reservoirs in Sirik.
These aren’t battlefield targets.
They’re critical civilian infrastructure.
As a result, water supplies to communities in Iran’s Bemani Dist have been cut off.
This is an act of #genocide.”

The US Apache helicopter was in Iranian airspace when it was hit.
Has this simple fact been mentioned in any of the mainstream western media reporting on this latest round of escalation? Perhaps, but I haven't seen it.
A few days ago, Israel did not respond to Iranian aggression with a counter strike (as most mainstream media sources framed it). Iran was responding to Israel's ongoing aggression in southern Lebanon over the last few months, where the Israeli military has been bulldozing dozens of villages, killing well over 3,000 people (predominantly civilians), wounding more than ten thousand people, targeting (once more) medical facilities and first responders, displacing over 20% of the population, while announcing plans to make their occupation permanent. And Iran was responding specifically to Israel once more bombing a densely-populated part of Beirut.
For decades, western media have consistently misrepresented the aggressors (US-Israel) as the victims. Whenever one of the targets of their illegal expansionist/imperialist violence retaliates, this response/defence is treated as the originating act of aggression and (retrospective) _casus belli_.
History didn't start yesterday.

Okay, if this is real, this is worse than I was expecting. I've been thinking about secondary outputs but I've been thinking way more about plastics, inks, other secondaries.
I have been worried about products shortages but maybe not enough. I am and have been assuming that there will be preferential distribution to corporations (which obviously includes most freight) and least preference given to individuals trying to do their own work themselves - e.g., like RAM over the last several months. But I haven't thought about the price side of that.
And holy shit it's gonna get fugly.
So, uh, yeah.
Maybe buy an ebike. Maybe make some plans.

Trump started a war with Iran to cover up the Epstein Files and make money. Ballroom Republicans supported this disaster. It's not going well:
Trump reversed on his "Operation Freedom" after Saudi's threatened to suspend use of their bases. Trump's just an errand boy for whoever yells at him last. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trumps-abrupt-u-turn-plan-re-open-strait-hormuz-came-backlash-allies-rcna343845
The top Iranian negotiator is openly mocking Trump. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/05/07/top-iran-negotiator-mocks-operation-trust-me-bro-and-questions-reports-of-trumps-peace-proposal/
