‘The Wall Street Journal’, the tycoon’s newspaper Rupert Murdochowner of the News International conglomerate, on whose board he sits Jose Maria Aznar for $340,000 a year, reported this Tuesday, March 10, that the advisors of Trump They are advising him to “find an exit ramp” to the war, given that, as stated in other information, both “the US and Iran predicted a war different from the current one.” On Fox News, the television channel controlled by the children of Murdochthe White House national security correspondent, Jennifer Griffinexplained that the Tomahawk missile that killed 175 girls on February 28 at an elementary school near the Strait of Hormuz, in southern Iran, was from the United States. “And I think the president Trump knows that it is a mistake, a big mistake that is being investigated and tries to confuse by talking about the Tomahawk missile.
Meanwhile, the war spreads and Iran’s Al Shahed ballistic missiles and drones continue to hit the Gulf countries and Israel hard in response to the intensification of the destruction of Tehran, its infrastructure and its desalination plants. The US tries to calm the oil markets. And he does it with lies that have short legs. For example, with messages on social networks from the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wrightwho assured this afternoon of Tuesday, March 10, that the US Navy has escorted an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Shortly after, the White House denied Wright and his message was deleted. “I can confirm that the US Navy has not escorted a tanker or vessel so far. Although of course that is an option that the president said he would absolutely use if and when necessary,” the spokeswoman said. Caroline Leavitt.
There are already 20 countries participating in the war and 10 to which Iran has sent, in response to Trump y Netanyahuits ballistic missiles and drones.
But if war is the continuation of politics by other means (Carl von Clausewitz), war does not abandon politics. This is what is happening in Europe.
that the German chancellor Friedrich Merz shut up when Trump attacked Spain in the White House last week, it was not a diplomatic gesture – not interfering when the president was speaking – but rather behavior favorable to the attacker. Now it is official: the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, has outlined the doctrine Leyen-Merz.
We must leave behind Europe’s role as defender of the old world order. “He’s gone and he won’t come back.”
And with greater aggressiveness to the style Trump“No tears should be shed for the Tehran regime,”
Merz and Von der Leyen, like the witches in Goya’s painting ‘The Sabbath’ (1873), surrender before the great goat, one of the Aragonese painter’s ways of painting the devil, a painting that followed in the wake of the Sturm und Drang (storm and impetuous) movement in Germany.
Von der Leyen reproduces the so-called flexible realism, embodied by Trump in the corollary of his National Security directive from last September.
What has been called the Donroe doctrine (union of Donald Trump y James Monroe).
The practical version, without circumlocutions, has been given by the North American Secretary of War, Peter Hegseth. “The war will be on our terms, with maximum authorities, no stupid rules of engagement, no quagmire of nation-building, no exercises in building democracies, no politically correct wars. We fight to win.”
