The US midterm elections turned out to be a total disaster for Donald Trump and the Republicans. This disaster had many factors, but by far the biggest factor started on February 28 when Donald Trump started his stupid war against Iran for Israel. After campaigning on a platform of being a "peaceful president", Donald Trump betrayed the hopes of the American people and became the second coming of George W. After railing against the insanity and delusions of neocon foreign policy, he appointed the same pro-Israel neocons to the highest positions in his administration who had convinced him that a war with Iran would somehow be a good idea. Campaign contributions and the power of the Israeli lobby over American foreign policy convinced him to throw his domestic agenda for an era of American resurgence out the window, and pursue a foreign war so disastrous that even his predecessors could not convince Israel to start one. The hubris and disaster began on day one. By assassinating Khamenei and the Iranian leadership, which had consistently exercised restraint and avoided a major war, they allowed a tougher and more determined Iranian leadership to seize power and impose enormous costs on the US and the entire global economy. The fantasy of a regime change revolt evaporated into thin air as the Iranian population rallied around the flag, and it became clear that the only regime change was replacing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei. A war that was supposed to last 'a few weeks' instead lasted 250 days. Genocidal threats of wiping out an entire civilization achieved nothing in the negotiations, the Strait of Hormuz has not yet returned to pre-war conditions, and global energy prices remain sharply elevated. Despite Secretary of War Pete Hessett's loathsome worship of US fighter jets bringing 'death and destruction, all day long', none of the US war aims were achieved.
