When will the war end?

The "headline question" dominates the pens of writers and analysts, as well as merchants and businessmen, just as it presses on the raw nerves of buyers in the four corners of the universe, urging their minds, exhausting their energies, and possessing their feelings, to know what is going on in Trump's mind, which confuses them with the contradictions of his statements and the fluctuations of his policies, whose beginning you know, but you need a fortune teller to know their end, for Trump's night talk is erased by the day.If Trump allocated ten million dollars to whoever tracks the new leader and determines the coordinates of his whereabouts, then double the amount should be allocated to whoever can tell us what is going on in the mind of the "White House madman," as he is described by his disciples who feed his narcissism and stroke his inflated ego.From his ship sinking in the sea of darkness and the flood of crises, Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center in the Trump administration, jumped yesterday, protesting the continuation of the war "which lacks any security justification, but rather came as a result of Israeli pressure and the influence of pro-Israel lobbies in the United States," denying that Tehran "poses an imminent threat to the United States" as claimed by those who ignited the war.Like a truck driver performing "drifting" in narrow streets, the real estate mogul appears to be driving his country, and with it the world, to fall from a "cliff" into the turbulent waters crowded with warships and oil tankers, threatening the world with a fuel crisis similar to that which prevailed after the 1973 war of the last century.Trump risks repeating the scenario of Iraq, which was invaded with a false and erroneous narrative, and with the complicity of Tehran, which shared influence with the Americans, before realizing after decades that they cannot be trusted, and during the invasion, a million Iraqis were killed under the pretext of bringing prosperity and democracy to Iraqis, and saving them from Saddam's dictatorship, which is the same narrative being promoted today by killing Iranians to save them from the rule of the mullahs, and bombing a girls' school to free them from the hijab.Two thousand five hundred Marines crossed the Strait of Malacca yesterday towards the region, in what is believed to be an imminent ground invasion of the "soft areas" in the vast Iranian geography, with the aim of dismantling the nuclear program and confiscating "centrifuges," as happened in Libya in the 1980s, and encouraging some ethnic groups disgruntled with the regime to secede and establish independent statelets, as is happening in some countries in the region, and also according to what happened in former Yugoslavia.In Brussels, the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, warned yesterday of what she described as the "enormous repercussions" of the ongoing war on the global economy, rejecting the participation of EU countries in that war, and stressing that it is time to end it.Kallas's warnings are nothing but an echo of the cries of drivers in front of "gas pumps" in American and European cities; for the world, which refuses to be dragged into "Trump-Netanyahu's war," realizes that the "political drifting" of the "bus driver" in the White House will plunge everyone from the "cliff" of growth into the "abyss" of recession.
