America's former Secretary of State Blinken said today (March 10): "President Trump told CBS today that the war between the United States and Iran may end soon. As I said last week to David Gura of Bloomberg, the final decision on how and when this war ends is determined by two forces: the market and ammunition. Keep an eye on the movements in the oil, stock, and bond markets. At the same time, pay attention to our missile reserves - including offensive missiles and interceptors - as well as the reserves of our regional allies. It is expected that the war will ultimately end with 'replacing a religious leader and declaring victory.'"
Comment: Blinken's remarks directly expose the truth behind Trump's war farce: this war is not decided by rhetoric, but by the rise and fall of the market and the availability of ammunition. He sees clearly that the US military is caught in a high-cost consumption war, and continuing to fight will only drain the air force's arsenal, burden global strategy, send oil prices soaring, and cause the US economy to decline. The so-called 'victory' is merely replacing the old Supreme Leader of Iran with a younger one, issuing a statement from the US side, and self-deception. This cannot hide the military dilemma or avoid the humanitarian disaster. It is a sober critique by the US establishment against the reckless war initiated by the Trump administration.
