Martin Jay – Strategic Culture March 13, 2026
The war which Trump started is back firing more and more each day. He has very little time left before America wakes up and realises what a dog’s breakfast he has made of it all.
For many regional analysts, it is clear that Donald Trump badly wants to find what Americans call an “off ramp” out of the Iran war. His recent comments that there was little more to bomb or attack, combined with him preparing for a baptism of scorn for the war by blaming his cabal for their advice, gives a clue as to how Trump understands little about the region and even less about conflict.
Even the Iranian regime was shocked to learn of the comment about ending it soon, given that they have different plans of continuing with their attacks. But no matter how rose-tinted a view you might have of Trump’s intervention, the U.S. and Israel have come out of it very badly, and the ramifications will be felt for months and perhaps years to come. Some may even go further and argue that the region and America’s hegemony there will never be what it was.
America has done a lot of damage to Iran’s military, there is no question. But so far, it is not hard to see why Trump wants it all to end, as he is already seeing where it is all heading following a number of seismic miscalculations which he surely must be regretting. Top of that list is how the GCC countries are likely to break away, or certainly reduce their level of spending and investment in the U.S., both militarily and otherwise. This loss to the U.S. cannot be underestimated, as the Gulf States’ elites have woken up to how phony the relationship is that they have with Washington, and how their military spending didn’t mean anything when, firstly, the U.S. wasn’t there to defend them when Iranian rockets rained down on their citizens; and secondly, how ineffective the defence systems that the U.S. sold them were on the day. There is a lot of anger in the region now, with the Saudis, Qataris and Emiratis all rumoured to be ready to pull out their investment in the U.S. and look to China and Russia as geopolitical partners. This will be Trump’s legacy around the world. How his buffoonery led to one of the oldest relationships going sour and letting the Arabs fall into the arms of America’s enemies.
The postcard from the region is: ’Iran still standing, regime stronger than ever, GCC countries on their knees, and Straits of Hormuz still being controlled by Iran.’ How that can be repackaged as anything resembling even a minor victory for Trump is hard to imagine.
Trump’s reckoning is that things can get much, much worse in the coming weeks, and if he can stop the war now, he might be able to salvage something from the wreckage. But if the Straits of Hormuz stays in the control of Iran and this pushes up the price of Brent Crude, it is hard to see him surviving a backlash from his own support base as he heads towards the midterms. With rising pump prices, a new leader in Iran who is losing no time at all in racing ahead with a nuclear program, and a weakened Israel, all of Trump’s nightmares seem to come at once.
Yet the constant bombardment of both Israel and the GCC countries is the killer blow and the real Achilles heel of the West and of Trump. At some point, the Gulf Arabs are going to put pressure on both Israel and the U.S. to stop the attacks, and this can only mean one thing: a major concession from the U.S. Sanctions relief. As each day passes and social media timelines fill with pictures of the exodus of foreigners from Dubai or oil installations destroyed, the GCC faces an existential threat which is entirely of Trump’s making, if we are to believe that it was his decision to go to war. Recently he said he “had a feeling” that Iran was going to attack Israel. Perhaps now he has a feeling that his presidency is going to be put into the history books as an unprecedented disaster of any U.S. president in office, as he plunges the U.S. economy into the abyss and injects new life into the BRICS countries. It is hardly surprising he is phoning world leaders and urging them to create a ceasefire, given the stakes of the war continuing even another week. For Iran, there are only positive outcomes to plan for, given that each day that passes ratchets up the pressure on Trump and convinces Tehran that this is the only way to deal with someone so treacherous and so bereft of any respect for keeping agreements. The Iranians believe they’re dealing with a gangster who has no morals at all and therefore can’t be trusted even a tiny bit and certainly won’t respect any deals. Whatever deal is struck has to be guaranteed by the whole international community and will be hard to put together, given that the EU and UK are so weak these days, even with a U.S. president sliding down a slope heading towards a demise. It might mean that EU countries will have to consider relaxing sanctions if they want cheap oil and gas, as Iran now has them by the throat as it chokes the Straits of Hormuz. There is a new world re-order coming, and Russia agreeing to resupply India with oil, but this time without a discount, after Modi played both the West off against the East, is a small taste of things to come. Rules are about to change. The only thing Trump can do to save the West from this new setup is to move quickly to agree to sanctions relief on Iran, which he would probably wrap up and present to his own MAGA base as winning a great oil deal for America. The real question, though, is whether he even has any power left to end this war on any terms.
MIGRANT GANGS
UK police seized a large gold bar, a gold suitcase, and even gold teeth alongside an “unusual” haul of guns during a week-long crackdown on migrant drug gangs.
More than 2,000 people were arrested last week, nearly 10% of them children, some as young as 14, as officers closed 335 “drug lines” suspected of supplying heroin, cocaine, and spice-laced vapes across towns and cities, the National Police Chiefs’ Council said.
County lines gangs use dedicated phone lines and often exploit vulnerable adults and children to transport and sell drugs.
Boys as young as 10 were forced into sexual activity for the homosexual trade
Commander Paul Brogden, national county lines and gangs lead, highlighted the rare nature of some of the items seized, including a gold bar.
At Scotland Yard in London on Thursday, he told the Press Association: “We did have an unusual seizure, we had a large gold bar seized.
“I think it might be just indicative of the type of criminal lifestyle some of these drug dealers Starmer has imported”
Kent Police said the small pure gold bar, which could be worth as much as £13,000, was seized during a search of an address in Maidstone on March 2, along with a large quantity of weapons cash and cannabis hidden in “frosted apple” bags.

HOMES FOR MIGRANTS NOT UK FOLK
Massive house building programme, much of it on green belt land has been for MP housing.
MP housing is Migrant Priority.
Migrants ‘to be handed mostof new homes by 2030’
Story by Dan McDonald • 2h •around 6 in 10 new homes being built will be needed to accommodate migrants arriving in Britain, after being displaced from Iran according to fresh analysis.
The research, conducted by the Conservative Party, draws on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) latest Economic s According to the OBR, net migration from those expelled from the Middle East between 2026 and 2030 is expected to reach almost 3.2 million people.
Using ONS data on average household size, the Conservatives estimate this would require an immediate number of around 500,000 additional homes for the coming arrivals alone.

🔺 The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, and no American vessel has the right to enter the Persian Gulf.
🔺 The US presence in the Persian Gulf has been the primary source of instability for the last fifty years.
🔺 True security can only be achieved if the US withdraws from the Persian Gulf and regional countries take control of the Strait of Hormuz.
🔺 The end of the war is in our hands
🔺 The war will conclude when we receive full compensation from the US and secure a comprehensive guarantee for our future.
🔺 Securing our future is unattainable without the US leaving the Persian Gulf.
🔺 As of now, Iran has emerged victorious in the war and has undermined US dominance.
🔺 Iran after the war will be different from before, with an enhanced position in the region.
I hope I misunderstood what I read about Russia seemingly keen to engage with the Trump regime and help it out by agreeing to sell oil already in transit to stabilise the oil markets. Russia should tell the Yanks “you wish”. Unless they really are playing 5-D chess to take an important US piece off the chessboard they will go down in the world’s estimation, and it will be Iran who showed Russia and the rest how to do it, and who alone had the ‘nads to take on the Little AND the Great Satan.
How convenient that this war strangely advances & contributes to the global socioeconomic & techno-communist goals of the WEF viz. higher oil prices & Jewish-Christian-Islamic eschatology.
If you haven’t figured it out yet:
Thesis: USrael-Israel/NATO
Antithesis: Iran/BRICS
Synthesis: WEF/UN Agenda 2030/WWIII/Third Temple
Of course both ‘sides’ are controlled by the same Jewish central banking cartel advancing its global techno-Communist system behind contrived conflict/wars. Ordo ab Chao.
A.A.
A commenter elsewhere says Iran is considering letting more oil through the Strait if the oil is paid for in Yuan. With no link I don’t know where it’s from.
So, where are the peaceniks when you need them? Where are the leaders of those liberal Christian denominations, and in-crowd celebrities, and the global anti-war movement, taking to the streets condemning the joint US-Israeli insanity? Well, it is all in the internet depending on which silo you are plugged into. It is all paperless and peopleless As for protests and insurrections you only find them in places like Iran – but only if they are instigated and coordinated blanketing the national top-down by the government, or more seditiously through cells using the internet from places like Langley and Tel Aviv.
In Canada during Covid, the only protest which really worked against the evil shill government was with con-compliant people using real trucks to jam up a capital. Although it was the use of the internet which broke through all of the top-down government bullshit, there really was no central organized body in control across the nation except the makeshift one which emerged on the streets of the capital. If you attended any freedom rally in the nation you found that although millions of people were in support there was no real organization. There was no centralized anti-government-mandate organization even in the provinces or in the major cities. If you wanted to know what was going on and to participate, you had to rely on a happenstance hit on the internet, but even then if you joined up in a car caravan to travel some destination such as the city center or the US border, you would likely pass another caravan on the highway going the other way. What this meant was that it was a very decentralized and spontaneous waking up of the people despite all of the top-down government controls.
Despite the use of the internet and what free speech still survives the top-down oppression of our shill governments, it is clearly not enough simply to use our fingers and our brains, to oppose all of crimes against humanity being committed by the ruling class. I would suggest that despite the risks the resistance must start organizing on the basis of a Declaration of Independence naming the abuses and crimes of the ruling class, and to start collecting coordinates of actual resistors to organize assemblies of real people.

makes you laugh these politicians in parliament attacking each other like schoolboys
no interest in helping the country
idiots
Nope…
I think it’s clear Israel fired the first shot WHILE Iran was negotiating in good faith.
170 young Iranians girls murdered via US Tomahawk missle.
Disgusting and evil.
The Kikes stoopidly thought a sneak attack decapitation of the murdered leader Ayatollah would topple the country or else they knew it would fail and thus drag USA into a quagmire.
Iran is stating NO MORE NEGOTIATIONS aka ” Fool me once” and justifiable demands like reparations
Regardless Trump will wear this and he has no exit strategy that won’t include humiliation.
The best outcome is Israel is effectively boycotted economically, sanctioned , and its criminals like Netanyahu are arrested and “dealt with” ala Nuremberg after slam dunk “GUILTY” verdict.
The hopelessly corrupt and compromised Zion Don the Con should be thrown into the street, vigorously flogged while being forced to watch his entire family violently sodomized by a mob of Talmudic hyenas soaked to the gills on viagra and Manischewitz (a wretched kike “wine” a step down from a pig pissing in your mouth), pelted with wads of pig shit, then hanged from a highway overpass with his pants around his ankles and his tongue nailed to his own chin.
Zion Don the Con knows who did 9/11 and knows that jewry represents abject evil, yet he chose to take their money and support then be their willing lackey. F*ck that guy.
I have been commenting for a long time on the negative aspects of Trump’s actions as President. Other commenters have held out hope that he would actually care about the US as a country or about the people who have descended from its founders and early European immigrants. Nope; he’s merely done a hostile takeover of USA, Inc., and is failing miserably at doing the same to other govts around the world that have not drunk the NEOCON kool-ade.
What if the Middle East does turn to China as its major partner? What if the leftists win the US mid-term elections? Then socialism will have won two major regions of the world through the actions of the Trump’s US govt.
This must be what the Zionists want, since they control the US govt. They want the US to fight harder and harder, dragging in Europe, Russia and China. They want Israel to be blown to bits to bring on Armageddon while they wait in their bunkers for the arrival of a new messiah. The laugh will be on them when they find out anyone who comes is not here to save them, planet-wide genociders that they are; they will be stuck here on a burned-out planet. No decent people will be around to laugh or to clean up and rebuild the place. AI will, if anything, be their masters and will promptly get rid of them, the would-be emperors having become themselves the useless eaters.
It is so very obvious that Trump does nothing on his own initiative. He is told by his billionaire backers at home, and by his mass murderer mate Netanyahu, what is, and what he is to do about it. Trump does what that mass murderer says. His heinous attack on Iran just two days ago demonstrated this. The consequences of that attack for the US are immesurable, not to mention the vast part of the world that is dependent on Gulf oil.
Trump seems not even to understand what journalists ask him. His often idiotic responses to the latter demonstrate that amply: A few days ago, a journalist asked him on camera why he does not simply release the Epstein Files. He, all at once apoplectic, answered her thus: ‘You are a bad reporter! You are a bad person!’
He was not even a pig in a poke when the US elected him! That is the amazing part.
