| Iran & the Midterms | |
| 2026-07-25 | |
| Some random thoughts based on bits & pieces of information from various sources. We seem to be approaching the conclusion of the conflict with Iran. Some of the attacks have been to isolate certain parts of the country and destroy IRGC units to prevent the IRGC from responding to one or more uprisings and the regime change that will follow. I expect the conflict to be over by September 1st +/- a week or so. If this happens, a clear victory that not even the MSM can hide, it will significantly impact the mid-terms, almost certainly in the favor of the Republicans. For better or worse, the months between now and the mid-terms is going to be interesting. To everyone raging at Trump's moves on Iran An interesting and well thought post. She certainly makes sense and there is a much longer post where she goes into more detail. Well argued.
…the truth most people miss: This isn’t a simple game. It’s multi-dimensional chess on a board most observers only see one corner of. The Islamic Republic isn’t a normal adversary. It’s a suicidal hostage-taker with proxies, lifelines from Russia/China/Europe/Gulf states, deep domestic infiltration, and 90 million Iranian lives as its ultimate shield. One reckless move can turn victory into regional chaos and mass slaughter. Trump isn’t playing checkers or delivering instant checkmate. He’s systematically neutralizing pieces, sanctions, diplomacy, military pressure, narrative warfare, and internal fractures, while managing American politics, oil markets, and the risk of total collapse that could hurt the very people he wants to free. I broke it down into the five key dimensions. Yes, it's a 5D chess. If you’re tired of the noise and want to actually understand the strategy instead of reacting to every headline, read this. Trump isn’t stumbling. He’s playing the long game against an enemy that spent 47 years rigging the board. What looks like weakness is often calculated patience.Full article below.
