For awhile I've wanted to draw a parallel between the Nazi Siege of Leningrad [St. Petersburg] to trump's "Siege" of Tehran [Iran] . My intent was to depict the steadfast Valor of Leningradians* as an example of what Tehranians must be experiencing . The Siege of Leningrad is considered by Historians as the STARVATION of Leningrad , a Military Tactic that was advanced in the Middle Ages where castle/fortresses were surrounded, its food supply cut off, as well as water . Why engage in combat when you could starve your enemy to death without a single loss of even one soldier ? The problem was Time, the generals had to feed their own troops for days, weeks and months, and locating one's army in just one site OBVIOUSLY prevented an advance elsewhere . Still, Siege was assiduously effective, IF the Siege Operators had the Time, and Supply Line that could be defended easily to keep the Line unbroken, then Victory was grotesquely at hand .
A million-zillion years later, here's trump with HIS army laying Siege to Iran, while simultaneously blockading Hormuz . Clearly, the Objective is to Close Hormuz, others have described as a "Choke-hold" which prevents the Iranian "Supply Line" from operating with any effectiveness whatsoever . No money --No food . Trump and his nit-wit military cavalcade have failed {what else is new} to account for the Black Market that is is actually supplying the IRGC with enough foodstuffs and wares, that they can withstand the Siege [some say] INDEFINITELY .
Meanwhile, "back at the raunch", Americans are experiencing a "cost-of-living" NIGHTMARE as THEIR foodstuffs and wares are becoming increasingly costly, so much so that even trump's most MANICAL zombies are expressing, not just "dis"-content but "MAL"-Content, and derisive speech, directed to trump, is being Voiced with aggravated Scathe .
