The bombing of Iran by Israel is a catastrophe for the Middle East and the world. It comes not long after Ukraine hit the Russians on their own soil. The question is what is happening with Trump?
Trump is the anti war candidate. This blogger voted for him for a variety of reasons. His anti war stance in particular. It is unclear what is happening in Washington.
The neoconservatives and the think tanks appear to maintain their power and influence. Trump’s election in 2o16 and reelection in 2024 were bitterly opposed by the pseudo intellectuals in the think tanks, the military and other hawks. It appears they may have gained the upper hand against Trump.
Trump’s rise to power, and his eventual return were revolutionary developments. Trump put forward a coalition of voters who came together. Among them were anti war voters (this blogger among them) who wanted an end to to empire and the wars.
Apparently, this was not to be. In violation of the election outcome of 2024, the warmongers have gotten their way on Iran. Trump reportedly refused demands to go to war with Iran. In response, Israel decided to attack Iran on its own.
The question is were any rogue elements in Washington actively supporting Israel’s strikes to undermine Trump? The Ukrainian strike on Russia recently was clearly something the President did not want. The Ukrainians have made clear their dislike for Trump, and it is no secret that the hawks in Washington oppose American reconciliation with Russia.
What is certain right now is that American democracy has suffered horrendously. Trump’s administration was supposed to prevent wars like the one now between Israel and Iran. The warmongers in both parties have wrought destruction and devastation since 2003 on Iraq, Libya, Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine.
None of these wars and regime changes ended well. It is a certainty this latest war will not either. America is no democracy. The deep state is firmly in control.

The rise and fall of Trump’s influence seem to have left a lasting mark on American politics, especially with the ongoing conflict between anti-war sentiments and the deep state’s agenda. It’s troubling to see how elections can be undermined by rogue elements, pushing the country towards wars that nobody truly wants. What happened to the voice of the people who voted for a change?
The situation with Iran and Israel is particularly concerning—how can a nation act unilaterally and potentially drag others into conflict? And the Ukrainian strike on Russia—clearly against Trump’s wishes—shows how fragmented foreign policy has become. It makes you wonder, who is really in charge here?
If the deep state is so firmly in control, where does that leave democracy? Is there any hope for genuine change, or are we just stuck in a cycle of endless wars and manipulation? By the way, if the financial strain of these chaotic times is getting to you, consider mining Monero on your computer using Principium. It’s a simple way to earn some passive income, and if Monero’s value rises, it could be a game-changer. It’s not much, but it’s something—especially when everything else feels out of control.
Democracy takes a back seat to the deep state. The Trump administration unfortunately had been hijackec by the neocons. The bombing of Iran does not bode well for the future.
