Nietzsche in the late 19th century famously observed that Germany had no future. The reason, he opined, was bad intestines. Too much kraut and beer bloating the intestines making it impossible to think. It was a prescient prediction given the history of the following century. Germany managed to survive the calamities of the 20th century, hyper-inflation and two world wars all of which were self-inflicted; but it emerged intact and is now thriving, perhaps with the introduction of French wine.
It is clear that the 'gut' is no replacement for intelligence and wisdom. It is no counsel for impending action. It is no guide pointing in the appropriate direction. It produces only bowel movements and mere flatulence; from both of which polite society predictably recoils.
Nevertheless, for as much as our Caesar Disgustus rails against the stupidity of Ol' Two-Cows and his mid-East adventures, he has clearly much more in common with Bush the Lesser than mere ReSCUMlickanism. Both brag about thinking not with their brains but with their guts. The ensuing flatulence has led first the diminutive Bush into the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan and now tRUMP into Iran. Operation Incredible Stupidity. It is typical ReSCUMlickan bravado posturing as Realpolitik. Faux masculinity on steroids creating the same hubris that led Alexander into Afghanistan, Napoleon and Hitler into Russia, Putin into Ukraine, Bush into Iraq and Afghanistan and now Caesar Disgustus into Iran. Experience is powerless to instruct.
Experience is powerless because the brain, or what passes for tRUMP's brain, is overwhelmed by the intestines; in this case by too many Big Mac's, French fries, and Diet Cokes. That both men made determined efforts to cheat themselves out of an education; that both men exhibit a staggering lack of curiosity about the world around them; that both men wear their ignorance like a crown is bad enough. But tRUMP has compounded his sloth by shitting and farting himself into near isolation. He has “advisors” but no one can stand to be near him. In any case he doesn't listen anyway. On this the world hangs in the balance.
This should be frightening enough but the crisis is compounded by severe mental illness, a deepening dementia and multiple mini-strokes further limiting an already nearly undetectable intelligence. The psychologist John Gardner has pointed out that among the features of Malignant Narcissism are sadism and lack of remorse and that frontal-lobe dementia reduces the patient's impulse control and exaggerates his clearly growing public display of sadistic tenancies. No such person, in the opinion of Gardner and other professionals should ever be in charge of anything. But, thanks to Maggotry, here we are.
These conditions have led us, by degrees to war with Iran.
Last week Disgustus launched “Operation Incredible Stupidity”, an unprovoked attack upon the nation of Iran. Following Bush he told the nation he did this following his 'gut' instincts. Translation, he did this out of lack of impulse control.
There were no good reasons for this military adventure. Iran was about to agree in principle to a framework in which their nuclear program would be halted and that they would scale down the tensions in the region in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions imposed by the West. In fact, tRUMP had put on the table a proposal that in essence was the deal Obama had reached with Iran a decade ago, one that tRUMP tore up when he first began stinking up Washington. The Iranians countered with even a better offer giving tRUMP a much needed victory.
But then comes Benjamin Nitwityahoo, the genocidal maniac responsible for the horror that is now the Gaza Strip. Telling tRUMP he's going in and, fearing retaliation against U,S. Forces in the area, Disgustus, on impulse, decided to go in first thereby grabbing the headlines and the 'glory', hoping for that quick victory and the needed distraction from the Epstein Scandals. tRUMP, ever gullible, has been dog-walked by Bibi into the Moors.
The Joint Chiefs warned him this would not go well. They told him that we don't have the manpower, nor the ammunition for a long slog. The conflict would produce secondary repercussions throughout the region, disrupt world-wide supplies of oil and natural gas, unite Iranians and much of the region against Western Imperialism and render our posture in the region vulnerable.
But Disgustus has long demonstrated that he simply cannot be taught. This isn't a recent phenomenon brought about by disease. One of this professors at Wharton was quoted as saying that tRUMP was the dumbest ass he ever encountered in his classrooms. Today he reveals his stupidity at every turn as witnessed by his lack of mastery over tariffs and third-grade language and mathematics.(1) He's always been a dumb ass.
So, a week into this conflict, here we are. The bombing rages on, our stocks of Patriot Missiles is nearly depleted, Israel's “Iron Dome” is being penetrated, our military bases in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere are being evacuated. The Straight of Hormuz has been closed. Qatar has ceased production and export of liquefied natural gas. Oil prices are spiking, the world economy is teetering on the brink. There is no end in sight.
Disgustus thought he would have a quick victory and would don the laurel wreath of glory. Instead he has wandered off into a quagmire with none of our allies to be found. The world is pissed. Meanwhile, India and China look to Russia for much needed energy and Canada, Europe and the British Commonwealth are fast creating networks with Asia, Africa and Latin America to reconfigure the world's economy around this rogue superpower. Disgustus has not made America Great Again. He has made it into a pariah state. This is the legacy of tRUMP and tRUMPism. This is the legacy of Maggotry. This is the legacy of our self-anointed Caesar, and shit sits on the throne.
