[ColonelCassad] The Deep State is completely unfazed and is rejoicing in Trump's failures in the war against Iran.
The NYT has long been a mouthpiece for the US intelligence community, and every such setback for Trump now plays into the Democrats' hands. It's noteworthy that following such admissions, former CIA Director Brennan also called for Trump's removal under the 25th Amendment.

New York Times: Trump's war weakens the US in four ways. The most tangible blow to the US and the world is Iran's increased influence on the global economy thanks to its control of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's lack of foresight regarding this strait demonstrates its clear ineffectiveness.
The second blow is related to the US military position in the world. This war has demonstrated the vulnerability of the American military to new methods of warfare. The world has seen how a country spending a hundred times more on defense than its adversary can be inferior in resilience on the battlefield.
The third significant cost of the war concerns US allies. Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and much of Western Europe have refused to support the US in this war. These countries no longer view America as a reliable ally. The fourth damage concerns the moral authority of the US. Trump has undermined these values ​​throughout his political career, and perhaps never to such an extent as last week, when he made vile threats to destroy Iranian civilization. This could be considered a war crime.
The facts are generally clear: Trump made a monstrous strategic error that undermined both his personal position and that of the US. And Iran now has Trump by the balls, preventing him from extricating himself from a protracted war that is burying both his prospects and those of the Republican Party.
Globalists see this and rub their hands with glee, merrily rebroadcasting the narrative that Iran is winning and the depths to which Trump has driven the United States. In some areas, globalist propaganda is becoming almost indistinguishable from Iranian propaganda.
This, of course, doesn't mean that globalists have suddenly fallen in love with Iran, but they currently have overlapping situational interests.
