War in the Middle East * Commentary

President Trump just posted that Kharg Island is “being blown to smithereens.”

Classic Trump! I think this is why President Trump resonates with lowlifes like myself. He knows how to get down in the mud and really sling it, and that really gets the snobby upper crusts panties in a bunch. YOU CAN'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT they cry and when he does it really gets them twisted!

Kharg is Iran’s main oil-export hub in the Persian Gulf. The post came as U.S. Iran fighting flared again around the Strait of Hormuz. He has threatened Kharg for months and previously said U.S. forces hit military targets there while sparing the oil facilities.

What you need to know: The post: On Sunday, August 31, 2026, Donald Trump wrote: “Kharg Island is being blown to bits!!!” The video: The message was accompanied by a short video showing explosions on a ship and oil infrastructure. The artificial origin: Image analysis and detection tools have proven that the video was created by artificial intelligence (AI). The lack of actual facts: There is no evidence or official confirmation from the Pentagon or the White House that an actual strike took place on this strategic island.

Our president slings mud like a baby slings sand in the sand pit. Ferociously, but without much precision or meaning.

That's why many label him a clown; I'm not talking about politics, but about childhood illness.

A child? that has flipped the foreign policy alignments of Latin america.
Secured a massive stake and control of world hydro carbon production.
Stimulated manufacturing, kept inflation steady, reduced unemployment.
Secured numerous conflict settlements across the globe. And lastly pushed the IRGC into a corner.

Keep telling yourself it’d not political

I don't know if my comments were political, but yours certainly are! Good for you if you believe all of that (your four points), be happy!

It's starting to look like who will run out of missiles and drones first.

That's why you need to strangle the enemy's economy.

It never works, it's the people who are strangled. North Korea is more powerful since the sanctions (after several decades)!

The mistake was made in January 2026, when the Iranian people were ready to revolt. It was the time to send in soldiers. In February 2026, the bombs created anti-American sentiment among the people, and many civilians were killed.

Furthermore, Russia continued to develop its weapons despite record sanctions.
