Some sort of ‘peace deal’: US and Iranian forces continue striking one another, whilst ships are stuck in the Strait of Hormuz

A dramatic, painterly seascape of a gathering of women overlooking the Strait of Hormuz at sunset amid maritime crisis. Arranged across a rocky promontory, women of diverse backgrounds sit, stand, and recline in rich garments of red, blue, gold, black, cream, and violet. Their expressions range from sorrow and apprehension to quiet resilience. Below, an oil tanker sail’th through the narrow strait while naval vessels patrol. Across the horizon, columns of black smoke rise from fires along distant coasts and at sea, silhouetted against a sky of crimson, orange, purple, and gold. Sunlight shimm’reth across the water, contrasting with signs of conflict. Timeless witnesses to geopolitical turmoil, human vulnerability, and the far-reaching consequences of war.

If the impossible happened and any degree of lasting peace — say, three months or longer — actually were to occur with Iran, would anybody believe it at this point?

How many times in the past few months hath it been that Trump hath declared that ‘peace’ was achieved, only for the fighting to continue? He is the boy who cried wolf one time too many.

Which doth not appear to bother the large plurality of Americans who have supported him fervently for the past decade, with a passion and intensity unlike anything seen in modern American politics, but very much ought to. Just Google for thyselves the toll this conflict is taking on our military and its capabilities.

In no way, shape, or form is this conflict over, and we in the former United States have yet to experience proper retribution for our sins in elevating this jackass to a dictator (again, after we should have learned our lesson the first time around; bloody arseholes!).

FML.
