‘The war on Iran could be Donald Trump’s downfall. It’s emblematic of an enormous STRATEGIC FAILURE, Iran has TREMENDOUS leverage.’ —John Perkins, Former Economic Hit Man ‘The war on Iran, I think, is emblematic of a terrible strategic failure on the part of Trump. I was very involved in building the military bases along the Strait of Hormuz in Iran under the Shah. The Shah’s petrodollars paid American corporations to go in and build these vast military bases in Bandar Abbas and elsewhere along the Strait of Hormuz… We knew at that time, and for the next 50 years, the CIA, the Pentagon, presumably the White House, has known that whoever controls the Strait of Hormuz, controls global oil to a very large degree, and therefore global economies to a very large degree. And it’s pretty obvious that when the Iranians took ownership of those military bases that we built so that America could control the Strait of Hormuz, when Iran has control of those and you go out and take out the Supreme Leader, why would you not realise that Iran is going to use the leverage that it has? And it’s a mystery to me that this country made such an incredible strategic mistake. The only answer I can come up with, and I’m asked this a lot, is Trump was on a high, an adrenaline rush after his success in Venezuela. And so he thought, “Well, I can do the same thing in Iran.” What he didn’t take into account was that Venezuela didn’t have leverage. It doesn’t control the oil flow through the Caribbean, or the Panama Canal, or anything. Iran has tremendous leverage by having that control over the Strait of Hormuz, control that we gave them by building those military bases for Iran. So it’s a really deep strategic mistake, and it may be Trump’s downfall ultimately, because this war with Iran is certainly not popular in the US, and what’s going on throughout the entire world, including where you’re located, is having a huge impact.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gxuzu-iran-war-could-be-trumps-downfall-an-enormous-strategic-mistake-ex-economic.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a
