Trump as Crassus
Crassus was one of the richest and most powerful men in Rome.He rose to the top alongside Julius Caesar and Pompey as part of the First Triumvirate, an informal three-man alliance that dominated Roman politics even though it was not an official office.
Crassus wanted military glory to match his wealth and political influence, so in 53 BC he led a Roman invasion of the Parthian Empire, which then ruled much of what is now modern-day Iran.
The campaign was a disaster, one of Rome’s worst military defeats.
Crassus ignored better advice and pushed deep into hostile territory.
Roman infantry was formidable in close combat, but the Parthians refused to fight on Roman terms. They stayed mobile, kept their distance, and rained arrows onto the legions until the Romans were exhausted and collapsing.
Crassus hoped the enemy would eventually run out of arrows. They never did.
He paid for that mistake with his life.
His death became famous partly because of the story that the Parthians poured molten gold into his mouth, [YES] turning his demise into a lasting warning about arrogance, overreach, and the fatal habit of confusing wealth and status with strategic wisdom.
I must admit I’m rather taken aback that our gracious host, having been perfectly well able to see through the Empire’s obvious lies and misrepresentations in respect of the origins and prosecution of the illegal war of aggression in Ukraine, appears to simultaneously believe that, when it comes to Iran, every pronouncement by the denizens of the western MICIMATT complex is true and credible – viz: Iran is run by a coven of evil religious nutters, picked a fight with the US out of the blue and for no reason at all, but thankfully now the ‘Good guys’ have beaten them to a pulp and it’s only a matter of time before Netanyahoo rides through the gates of Tehran in triumph to crush his enemies, see them driven before him and hear the lamentation of their women.
Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but recent weeks have seen a distinct bias in the daily articles selected for TAE towards uncritical repetition, and apparent approval of, statements from various Washington and Tel Aviv mouthpieces.
“Helmer lost track too. Iran has nothing left to fight with.” – Really?
“The Pope’s criticism of Trump’s warmongering are indicative of a bad case of TDS” – Really?
“Khomeni destroyed Iran for 47 years” – Not the constant attacks and sanctions. Khomeni personally did this. Really?
Pretty much everything said or published in the western media about the war in Ukraine has been fairly transparent propaganda, but suddenly these same organs have foresworn their bad habits and are reporting honestly about Iran? I don’t believe that. Do you?

EvilGold $4800, no direction. Silver near $80, possibly no direction. USDX 98. No change.
Oil $86, plummeting. Dow recovers all.
Now that DOES sound like a direction and someone’s decided who won. Don’t get after me, I didn’t make it and I don’t approve. I’m just pointing out facts over the fever delirium here. Far worse disease than Covid. The All-Americans-Must-Die disease.
“Over 20 US-Approved Ships Pass Through Hormuz, As Trump Eyes Jump-Starting Next Pakistan Peace Talks
It remains that ships not under sanction, & not visiting Iran’s ports can pass through American-imposed blockade.Hmmm, that’s inconvenient.
So all ships worldwide including China are rushing here to make us rich. Golly, Jeff, I can’t think of any possible motive to close Hormuz or how foreign policy serves the domestic economy.
“China Rejects ‘Baseless Smear’ It’s Sending Weapons To Iran After Trump Warned Of ‘Big Problems’
China totally has their back. They’re denying helping at all. Um, might want to look into your friends, Iran. Not great. As yesterday: I take the other side of those bets. Also that China wants Iran flipped and open as much as we do.
“Netanyahu told Trump that Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks;”
No kidding. Dumbasses say a lot of things when they’re trying to sell you on something. It means nothing unless Trump has never met a used car salesman or been in a negotiation. Since reality is optional now, I guess that’s true now too! As I just made it all up just this minute.
“Israel was clearly wrong. Iran stood its ground.” Yes, and Trump let them get flattened. Funniest thing ever. Now Israel and their lobby are sorely wounded.
“Is The EU’s €90 Billion Loan To Ukraine Meant To Buy Time For The Return Of Democrats
So we hear. And they have to keep looking like they’re winning or they’ll release smallpox on us or something. Art of War: appear weak while still methodically moving your agenda forward “on accident.”
“Swalwell Resigns From Congress – Effective TODAY, After Fresh Rape Allegation And Corroborating Campaign Records
Promethean – one of the few not having lost their d—n minds — pointed out, he’s a PRESIDENTIAL candidate. But no one, never dun heard any of this before. From DOZENS of women. No background check, no rumors when he was on the Congressional Security Committee. Nope! That’s the FBI/CIA all a-doin’ their jobses.
But now, for Onnnnnnnnnnnnneee governorship, not even that important; Bam! Banhammer. Suddenly Democrats know! Democrats care! This is all totally legit!
“Netanyahu Boasts: Trump Admin Briefs Me Every Day On Iran
Or vice-versa. They are co-belligerants in a war. They talk? Jeez no kidding, how about that? You can not like the war! That’s fine. But the parties to the war communicating? That’s In-saaaaaaaaaaaaaane.
“Mossad Chief Declares Mission In Iran Not Over Until Regime Falls
I’m sure he does. They’ve made no secret of “wanting things”. So?
“”Obama Admin Manufactured Intelligence” in the 2016 presidential election.”
As we’ve all heard it, now it only means something when someone is arrested.
“Adam Shiff 10 years” Same here.
“John Brennan, James Comey and Hillary Clinton are headed for AN INDICTMENT”
And this. What’s holding you back? If you have this info, why are you telling me and not a policeman? That’s your job. (Okay, in fact, remember how they would release, let the Derp State counter-fire, over and over until by attrition, the Derp State would run out of ammo and move to “Okay it DID happen, but that was a GOOD thing?” Yeah. I see no counterfire when they float balloons anymore)
JFK Jr is in the news all over again. Half the people think he’s alive, which isn’t a bad bet if you look into his plane crash. He was traveling the world trafficking in secrets.
“More info and color has been added in the wake of failed talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan, per The New York Times”
Just yesterday, they weren’t talking and were never going to talk since Iran won and is presently taking over D.C.. What gives? Did something happen? When you’re wrong every day about things like this nothing happens and we still have to take you seriously?
Iran will give up uranium “Or else what?” Who is going to check and make them?
“Black-tracking ships.” This means a few things. Even as Iran mined OMANI waters and the ships are within sight of Iranian shores, they lack the capacity to identify and harass them. This will also be relevant when UN Navy is extensively de-mining, since it’s touchy, time-consuming business where the ships are parked and exposed to anything Iran wants to throw. …Which apparently they’re starting, looking for details.
Addendum to that: Iran does NOT control the Strait at all now, because “Control” means you can turn it off, sure, but also that you can turn it on. They cannot turn it on, and China is now locked out. So Iran is a useless ally.
Is Susan even a real person? She uses all AI construction. Every sentence.
“• Blood, Money, and The Trump Dynasty – Iran Shows How To Fight (Helmer)
Helmer thinks you win when you’re leveled and your opponent has taken 5% damage. …And he used to cover Ukraine! By this standard, Ukraine is indeed winning and will take Moscow any day now!
“and the presidential dynasty of his sons to succeed him” Da fuq, Helmer? “We Make S—t Up!” No one is even TALKING about this, even as it would take 1,000 steps to achieve it. Why not say Jeb Bush’s grandkids, not yet born?
He’s in the running for “Emotional Nonsense Award” front runner with Sachs. He only speaks when his brain disengages.
“Vance did not have a clear negotiating mandate for the negotiations, and lacked personal authority.”
Sure, maybe. How would anyone prove one way or another? What difference does it make? If Iran wanted peace would this stop them at all? A: No, No, none. See: Iran really really really wanted peace but the U.S. “Did something” and now Iran is a helpless victim again! Oh no! They sent a bishop and not a pope! So our hands were tied!!
General Patton always said the same thing: “If the conditions aren’t perfect, never move. Blame the other guy. Give up instead.” So Sayeth Chess Master Iran.
“Indonesia’s Strait of Malacca. But that hardly means Beijing minds its manners around its southern neighbor.”
That can’t be right. All BRIICS countries are uniquely moral and the “West” is uniquely bad. In fact, no nation or people was ever bad before we ended slavery worldwide. …Or something.
“BIG ruling against Boasberg et al.
• Appeals Court Terminates Criminal Contempt Proceedings Against Trump Admin (ET) .Means nothing. Like VA they have the Supreme Court rule firmly against something, next day pass a law defying it all over again. In this case guns, but everything else too. Power just means “Take power”. I don’t care about your stupid words. Canada was slapped over the Trucker “Emergency” three years after. Did anything happen? Nope. So 100% they will do it again, but harder. They need to be AT LEAST punished, but hopefully shot.
“any one of the members could have immediately gone to the microphones and discussed all of the information gained from within the questioning. They didn’t.”
Who are all Republicans. We know. Just like now. Boasberg could be out by 9am tomorrow. All Republicans want him, because he stops all “Republican” winning.
“John Ratcliffe was now a constitutionally confirmed DNI with access to the full record and work product that led to the previous impeachment effort. Why didn’t DNI John Ratcliffe release the ICIG investigative material and CIA whistleblower report?”
Same thing. We are all going to die in a nursing home still hearing about this, and the Gulf of No Arrests.
“Declaring war against ordinary Irishmen isn’t a good look for an Irish Deep State that can’t be bothered to guard its borders from hordes of invading foreigners.”
Stop. Re-read that. Those are the same thing. And that’s the Irish point here: Letting people in IS WAR ON IRELAND. And more, not JUST letting them in, which would be fatal, but PAYING them while Ireland chokes, then setting up TWO TIER justice so they, Africans, are Ireland’s rulers over the Native Irish people.
This was brought up in general: so you have a generation of Irish, and you rape 1:100 girls. I’m sure they won’t mind, won’t be affected by it, won’t change them, the culture for life or anything, right? Yes, this is an AUTHORIZED PLAN. This is the highest war crime. They know it’s happening, and far from stopping, as UK, are openly encouraging, nay, DEMANDING it. Every Afghan who says “He’ll be sad if he can’t rape English children” and gets to stay (many such cases) sends a signal to every OTHER (brown) person on the whole island. …And they’re definitely getting the message!! “Free Rape Widely” cards are being issued all over Europe, and the government stands by it 100 fold. Year after year. Decades now. Everyone knows. (Except women voters)
“• Mamdani Pledges to Open First City-Run Store (Tuirley)
Let me guess: Mamdani doesn’t have to follow ANY of the laws other businesses do in NYC, where getting a single permit can take 3 years and a million dollars. Nope! He’s good for it. We know he’s swell. So he is not experiencing anything like a business environment, having infinity capital, no risk, and ignoring any inconvenient part that they load on everyone else, while also presumably paying no taxes.
The irony here is, EVEN WITH THAT, they STILL fail. My GOD, what hath Socialism wrought that you could POSSIBLY fail when you start 80% to the finish line? It takes time to fail, but they ALREADY set up a number of these (Chicago was covered I think) and failed within 2 years or something, being a Stalinist store having only cabbage and potatoes in a dark, gray cavern of retail sadness?
How that’s possible, I have no idea, but it happens 100% of the time.
““Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day this year starting on the evening of April 13 into today, April 14.”
Ah. Well. You died LEAST of anyone in Europe, so I don’t want to hear it. 25 Million Russians died, you’re a rounding error. Also did you know there was a genocide in 1572? Honest! St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre in France. And one in Ireland too! 1847. That is to say, “How long do you think this s—t holds water?” Get stuffed, Jack.
“[Lincoln] spoke about how the nation must be firm in faith: “Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him, who has never yet forsaken this favored land,”
Lincoln was a complicated Christian, may not have been one at all by the period standards. What this does is what you see today: Sturm und Drang where you can’t hear yourself think, all moorings uprooted. Then “Every man does what he thinks best in his own eyes.” Prov 21 And “What he thinks best” is what gives him POWER, and MONEY, ….and lots and lots of rapes, apparently. Who knew. Anyway, the point of Lincoln referring back to God, to Christianity, to a bible he probably didn’t believe in, was that it is about PRINCIPLES. Eternal, enduring principles of right and wrong that transcend local issues. Even as we seem to be doing that again today, however slowly.
“In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.”
As I say daily. Over and over and over and over and over. A thing and its opposite are not the same. Reality exists. Sturm und Drang makes you forget that.
“Lincoln then references a philosophical idea called “the principle of noncontradiction.” Most famously explained by Aristotle, the principle holds that two opposing claims cannot both be true in the same way at the same time.”
“Every year, approximately 1.19 million people die in road accidents worldwide.”
Sure. Except 100% OF THE TIME THE GOVERNMENT WILL ONE DAY KILL EVERYONE ON A SINGLE DAY. By shutting off the cars. If you give them this power. The 1M/year will pale in comparison to giving one group the power to kill EVERYONE. Always. There is never a thing in history this wasn’t applied to. This already happened in Ireland and elsewhere.
“Ayatollah Khomeini settles in France, where he plots the overthrow of Iran’s monarchy. “
Sure, except he never plotted anything. You see “Iron Man” the Mandalorian? He’s an actor drinking wine on a French estate, where MI6 and DGSE come in daily with briefings for him to memorize. GTFO.
“he destroys Iran for the next 47 years.”
Not really! The CIA, MI6, BP, and the Shah had already done that! He was just continuing the extraction to London in a more stable NoKo way.
Oh no, not FOX News and Napolitano. MI6 Asset Murdoch will be very pleased. And so the Judge has been right all along, or wrong all along? Going back, I dunno, 5 years or so?
Very first sentence: “The American proceeded as if we had won the war, which wasn’t true”. Okay, discard interview. This negotiation IS WHAT ENDS THE WAR, you idiot. It’s not over until this treaty-negotiation is signed. Next sentence: ALL AMERICANS MUST SURRENDER TO IRAN. Ah, thanks for that. On it. Totes.
Also riveting: Did you know they talked? No kidding! Oh noe! How dare they! They talked for hours! Yes! 21 hours! That means they’re not at all serious! Proof! Then did you know Zionists were there, as Israel is a party to the war? Whaaaaaa???? How dare they have people involved in the war involved in the war. We need only Bolivians and !Kung peoples.
…And other such logic.
And putting up Col. Kwaitkowski, who last time I reviewed had not ONE. SINGLE. FACT. In a whole half hour. Nothing. She knew NOTHING, and what she guessed was visibly retarded. So I’ll spare you reviewing this interview.
Wisdom of Don Tzu Meme: Amazing how every one of those points applies to Iran. “Make sure to threaten and alienate your your allies for no reason so they turn against you”. China. Russia. Jordan. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. Oman, UAE. WHILE they openly bomb Turkey.
IF! IF IF IF IF IF, If only Iran had the support of ANNNNNY Muslims in the world, anywhere. Indonesia, Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Sudan, Even Paris! Or Russia and China, then yes, they’d be in an okay position right now. The only Islamic Assets they have are Fox News and the Democratic Party, along with the governments of WEF/Muslim Europe.
You can not like the war! That’s fine! But you want IRAN to be the United States and rule the planet, for all humans worldwide to be killed thereby, and that’s not a trade.
But, enough.
Its not stupid. Its useless. Its not informative. Its not analytical. I often agree with the feelz. But its just feelz. Useless.
Dear Dr. D,
Do you agree with:
U.S. military operations against Russia?
U.S. military operations against Iran?
U.S. military operations against China?
