Just Another Thought

The thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com
      
[[[ I’m beginning to think that Trump has deliberately switched this war to a war over controlling the world’s oil supply, and that’s NOT what we went to war for. 
 
Also, NO one country should ever control or even try to control the sum of the world's oil supply, because if that were to happen we would become a "One World Government" under that controller's thumb, whomever that controller might be. NOT a good idea folks, NOT good at all. ]]]

Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com    

[[[ So with President Trump already having ruled out using a nuclear weapon on Iran because, "the country's military has been defeated. They're totally defeated militarily."...even though to one degree or another Iran is still fighting back and will continue to do so as Islam itself demands it...Trump has now seriously started to talk about bombing Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal, which we would then control after said bombing.

How convenient in timing, PR wise that is, especially after also having been revealed not too long ago that an Iranian uranium facility located at the Natanz nuclear compound, for whatever reason, was not bombed when Natanz was. Not very good optics for our side I'd say.

So now conveniently entering center stage is Trump's neutralizing optic of his just having made a 100-year oil deal with Venezuela. No problem with that...it's a good thing actually...but when you add 2+2 together you still get "oil"...NOT victory in war, NOT peace...but "oil,"

"Oil talk here, oil talk there, oil talk everywhere,"  but NO talk of us ending the war in victory...NO talk of surrendering by Iran...NO anything it seems, because the quest for oil control seems to have taken center stage over war itself...how truly sad is that. ]]]

New report exposes intact Iranian bunker that may hide regime's ongoing nuclear work
The Institute for Science and International Security says 'The facility does not appear to have been targeted in the military actions of either 2025 or 2026'
/ Fox News 

A new report from a leading think tank has revealed what it says is a partially submerged Iranian uranium facility at the Natanz nuclear compound in Iran.

The revelation of the secretive facility raises new concerns over whether Iran’s nuclear weapons apparatus was destroyed during the two American-Israeli-launched wars against the regime in 2025 and 2026.

The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) announced in late August that it has located an underground Iranian facility that is likely linked to uranium enrichment for the possible use in production of atomic weapons.

It wrote that "The facility does not appear to have been targeted in the military actions of either 2025 or 2026. Since the June 2025 war, no vehicle activity has been observed at the facility in available satellite imagery."

According to the institute, "The Institute has identified a separately enclosed, partially below-ground, bunkered building at the Natanz Nuclear Complex that was likely intended to serve as uranium hexafluoride…storage...Read more, see photos and video here

Trump warns Chicago ‘will die’ if lefty Gov. Pritzker refuses federal help after bloody weekend leaves 41 shot 
Chris Bradford / NEW YORK POST  

President Trump warned Tuesday that Chicago “will die” if Illinois governor JB Pritzker continues to refuse federal government help to get crime under control – as the lefty pol joined revelers in downing shots for a world record attempt despite a weekend of bloodshed that saw 41 people shot.

Fifteen people were struck in what was Chicago’s largest mass shooting of the year on Saturday, bringing the city’s 2026 gun violence tally to 1,255 victims, which is up by almost one percent on last year.

“Chicago violence is unchecked and at record levels. It has never been worse,” Trump blasted in a fiery Truth Social tirade before warning Chicago faces ominous consequences if trends are not bucked.

“This weekend 41 people were shot, 3 DEAD. These numbers are becoming normalized. It is out of control!

“The city will die if the Federal Government, a fine tuned crime fighting machine, is not invited in, by the Mayor or Governor to HELP. I am awaiting the call.” Read more, and see video here.

Trump: US Will Refill Strategic Petroleum Reserve Using Venezuelan Oil
Thomson / Reuters / NEWSMAX
 
President ‌Donald Trump said on Sunday that oil from a recently struck deal with Venezuela will be used to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, ‌which has been drawn down sharply ​in recent years to respond to global supply disruptions and high fuel ⁠prices.
 
Trump said in a social media ​post that the "topping out" process will begin shortly, ⁠describing Venezuelan oil as a “Gift from Venezuela to the People of the United States.” 
 
It ‌is unclear how quickly the ​Venezuela deal could ‌provide oil for the reserve or deliver any near-term ‌benefit to U.S. motorists. The agreement Trump announced on Friday is aimed at reviving Venezuela's ⁠battered oil industry, ‌but it will ⁠require significant investment and infrastructure work before production can ⁠rise ⁠substantially.

The reserve held about 290 million barrels as of ‌August 21, near a 44-year low, after the United States drew down its stockpile under both ‌the ​Biden and Trump ‌administrations in response to global supply disruptions, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ​conflict with Iran.

US launches first strikes on Iran in weeks as regime vows revenge
Ronny Reyes / NEW YORK POST 

The US launched strikes on Iran’s Larak Island on Sunday, the first offensive in weeks — as the regime vowed revenge.

The US fired the attack after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were allegedly setting up another wave of underwater mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported. 

“Earlier today U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island,” a US official told the outlet. “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into Strait of Hormuz.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed the attack that reportedly killed and wounded several people, but did not provide further details.

The attack “will be answered by the sons of Iran and will result in the punishment of the aggressor,” the IRGC told state broadcasters.

Just Another Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com   

[[[ Five years ago today we withdrew from Afghanistan in what was in actuality a defeat. Five years from today I hope we’re not facing the same scenario with Iran, which could be a possibility. Why so...because not since WWII has a president's what should be focus to win a war actually been put on the “back burner” while forgetting that ”bombs that go “boom” does not make a war won.

The Korean War, aka“a police action,” still sees Korea divided in two. The Vietnam War saw us hightailing it out of there in 1975 after the fall of Saigon. And our 20-year involvement in Afghanistan saw Biden hastily pulling us out after the Taliban re-seized control of Afghan's government. And to add insult to our injury, Biden forced us to leave behind U.S.military equipment which is now in the hands of the Taliban. But saddest of all is that in the action of withdrawing 13 U.S. service members were killed due to Biden's ineptitude.

So it should not be all that surprising that we have yet to achieve true victory in Iran, especially when our president now seems to be more focused on becoming “king and controller” of all the world's oil supplies then he is on fighting to win this rightful war being fought as he'd rather make deals with the enemy than actually using militarily force to get them to surrender,

And so with Trump's ego puffed up courtesy of his Venezuelan oil win, we could well see Iran becoming both Vietnam and Afghanistan revisited with the Iranian people now sadly being his sacrificial lamb. ]]]
