Trump grumbling in a spiderweb

Supporters of Trumpism and the MAGA movement (we have plenty of them right here) find it a little more difficult each day to maintain their stance. According to them, both Trump and the young lions of his administration (Hegseth, Rubio, Vance) represent an advanced elite, which in no way can be reduced to the criticisms and caricatures of leftists and progressives, who are always clueless and outdated. These ringleaders of the new American right have pursued, with academic success, rigorous study plans at prestigious universities; they handle information that ordinary citizens can only dream of; they have a broad and sophisticated geopolitical vision, and they follow a well-designed plan to end the old order that emerged from World War II and the Cold War to establish a new one. Such are the grand, ambitious, and impressive goals that the new leaders of the world aim to achieve, who are also ironic, fun, cool, and politically incorrect guys. This is the picture that, in broad strokes, their defenders paint. The problem is that, as always when someone proposes a real revolution and truly overturns the established order, many do not understand it.Reality, however, seems to be something else. The latest diplomatic expression from the current US president is a tweet addressed to the Iranian regime with these exact words: “Open the damn strait, you crazy bastards, or you will live in hell (...) Praise be to Allah.” Tavern insults, copying the style of the recently deceased patriot Chuck Norris, followed by a religious allusion that is perhaps intended to be ironic but only comes across as crude. This does not seem like the communication of a US president with a vanguard vision of the geopolitical chessboard, nor do these even seem like phrases spoken by a sane person. For his part, the secretary of the Trump administration they call the War Department, Pete Hegseth, supposedly an intellectual who combines refined university training with solid military knowledge, is someone who insists on appearing in public describing apocalyptic images of fire and destruction falling from the sky upon Iran: he says this in these words, and with notably dilated pupils. Both he and his commander-in-chief (Trump) are incapable of recognizing what everyone knows: that they went to war with Iran dragged along by Israel, partly because it served as a smokescreen for both Trump and Netanyahu: for the repugnant Epstein scandal in the American's case, for the genocide in Palestine in the Israeli's case.This Tuesday, the ultimatum expires for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, which is strangling the world economy as a consequence of the turpitude of the absurd and bloodthirsty Trump/Netanyahu couple. It remains to be seen whether all this rhetoric of unleashed hells and falling fires from the sky translates into a concrete military order. It could happen (there have been warnings to this effect) that the American military disobeys the presidential order. If it is an illegal or unconstitutional order, they have a duty to do so.
