                                                           Nothing can 'happen' to putin because putin's oil keeps the EU 'alive' .   Now we can see that Nothing can 'happen' to Iran because they `own`  the Strait of  Hormuz .    What would  'happen'   if putin were to  "choke-off"  the EU by denying them his oil ?    How would the EU survive ?    Could putin withstand an EU boycott of his oil ?    Who would 'outlast' who ?   

                             Putin is 73, what if he "turns into" trump as he approaches his final years ?   For that  matter, what would happen if putin were to die, say from a heart attack, would russia "change" ?   We can't know if it (the change) would be for the better or for the worse .   What would happen if trump "checks out" ?   Would america change ?   Would trump's Gestapo and Propaganda ministers "throw down their arms"  and surrender ???     

                             The World hasn't stopped putin.   The World hasn't stopped trump .   It is "piss-poor" thinking that believes that the World, somehow, can "get its shit together",  and do fucking ANYTHING .

                              I find myself suffering from >Rabid Dejection<  ~~~ don't know it there's a cure .

                                                           I was wrong .   I called for the World to open the Strait, but THAT'S nevuh-gonna happen ,   When russia invaded Ukraine I wanted to believe that putin could be stopped by NATO , all NATO had to do was send "Peace Keeping" Forces to Ukraine, which should have been chronic deterrent for putin , NATO didn't, and used the excuse that to deploy NATO Forces would be to escalate and enflame a DIRE SITUATION .   I wanted to believe that the WORLD had "learned its lesson" with putin's illegal "annexation" of Crimea, and would NOT tolerate another ILLEGAL "Disturbance" from a nation, ANY nation, that sought to expand its borders and in so doing enrich its population .   Einstein defines Stupidity thusly ;  to execute the same act over and over again, and expect DIFFERENT results each time .   I was STUPID .   I wanted to believe ...  there's a Sin in that somewhere ... .

                              

Strait Jacket

                                                           Pundits have agreed that trump has no way out of Iran, meaning, the bombing of Iran appears to have had the effect that was experienced in Vietnam .   Here, "Capitulation" is code for Surrender .   It is perhaps too Romantic to use the term "Simple Twist Of Fate" when describing the Iranian's New Surge of Power, the Command over the Strait of Hormuz .   Clearly, trump didn't learn from Vietnam, where we suffered Ignominious Defeat, and were forced to Retreat and leave that Country to its own devices .   Trump has delivered unto Iran a new Weapon, the potential to TAX those countries whose Existence depends on Oil passing through the Strait.   The Emperor may not be wearing any clothes but he IS wearing a (get this)  Strait Jacket , rendering him impotent and immobile .   2 words :   Wow .
