Kudos to Trump

 

 

Some are going to mock Trump for failing at this war. But I think we should applaud what he is now doing. The American President has recognized that he cannot use the US military to force Iran to do his wishes, and so he has backed down from those efforts. This is a good move. 

As we all know Trump is a very successful business man. But he has also had a lot of business failures. A lot. Apparently, he has filed for bankruptcy six times. He has had several business initiatives fail and collapse. He has had businesses fail to take off. And yet he still made billions and ended up incredibly successful. This is true of many people who get to his level of success in life, they take a lot of detours through bad projects and ideas. 

In other words, Donald Trump has learnt from bitter experience when to cut his losses. And he is now working really hard to do this with the Iran War. Earlier presidents refused to do this and bogged down the US in foolish, endless, destabilising wars. Trump entered a foolish, destabilising war, but he has wisely been working hard to end it much sooner than these other presidents did. 

Kudos to him for that. Praise God for that. Pray the ceasefire holds and becomes a true peace deal.

Some business ventures just can't succeed. The same is true in politics or war.

I give the man credit for recognizing this. A man who had not failed at a very high level, and learnt from those failures might have been more foolish. A lot of people have overestimated America's military might. At least the US president sees its limits.

One of the last things the western world needs right now is another long term war in the Middle East that drives millions of Islamists out of their nation and into the countries of the West. Something else the West does not need right now is for the greatest of western powers to weaken itself any further in the Middle East. 

Trump's efforts to end this war are a great thing. I genuinely celebrate this development.
