Trump PANICS and FALLS INTO FATAL TRAP in WAR!!!
Donald Trump is panicking and falling. right into such an obvious escalation. trap in this already disastrous, catastrophic, and clearly unlawful war. in Iran. Right now, Donald Trump is. considering sending another 10,000. troops to Iran after 5,000 troops have. already been sent to Iran and after. there were about 50,000 troops already. in the region. These 10,000 additional.
troops would be joining some of the. troops from the 82nd Airborne Division. including the elite paratroopers, the. Marine Expeditionary Units that were on. the USS Tripoli, some of the other ships. that are still heading there right now. from San Diego. And by all accounts, the. Trump regime is preparing what has been. referred to as a dramatic escalation. A. dramatic escalation. Now, this follows. Donald Trump lying yesterday morning yet.
again and claiming that he had these. productive conversations with Iran and. as a result, the Trump regime would not. strike Iran civilian energy. facilities for another 10 days because. the conversation was just going so well. with all of the right people and they. gave Donald Trump gifts and presents. even though Iran continuously has denied. these communications and negotiations. Then Iran came out and said Donald Trump. is lying having no such communications.
The mediators who Donald Trump is trying. to have help him from Pakistan to speak. with the Iranian regime, they came out. with a statement, these mediators, saying that Iran has not agreed to any. deal with the United States, that Iran. has not been in communication, nor has. Iran requested anything of the United. States. Especially, they haven't. requested any type of 10 days of not. attacking Iranian civilian.
infrastructure, which is a war crime. The only thing I think Iran has conveyed. is that they want full reparations, America out of all Arab nations, removing all of their air force bases, that they want. to maintain their ballistic missiles. capabilities and control over the Strait. of Hormuz, and that the United States has to give. firm security guarantees as well as. Israel needs to give firm security. guarantees that Iran will never be.
attacked anymore and that Iran's. proxies, whether it's Hezbollah or. Shiite militias in Iraq or elsewhere, will not be. attacked by the United States and Israel. ever again. That's the only thing that. Iran has communicated as a threshold to. even agree to negotiate in the first. place. What was fascinating about Donald. Trump's attempt to manipulate the. markets yesterday, though, is that only. was manipulated for a very short period. of time, right? When this week began, Donald Trump manipulated the market, called jawbone the market with a little.
more success, if you will, where he was. able to make a dramatic move as oil was. surging and as the markets were about to. crash, Donald Trump lied and said he. basically had a reached like a peace. agreement with Iran, and that was all. exposed to be false as well earlier. So, he tried to do it again, but right now. the markets are just getting numb to all. of his lies, and as soon as it became. clear he was lying yet again, the. markets crashed. Bitcoin's crashing, gold is crashing, the 10- and 20-year.
Treasury note yields are surging, meaning mortgage rates above 7%, catastrophic economic situation here in. the United States as Donald Trump now. talks about this dramatic escalation, again falling right into this this trap, if you will. Let's talk about what's. going down. So, according to the Wall. Street Journal citing the Department of. Defense, they call themselves of the. Department of War officials with. knowledge on the matter,
Pentagon is looking to send an. additional 10,000 US forces to the. Middle East. According to the Wall. Street Journal, the forces would include. additional troops and also armored. vehicles. The 10,000 US service members. most likely to come from combat units. with the army will join the well over. 50,000 service members already deployed. to air and army bases as well as on. naval ships across the Middle East in. the lead-up and since the start-up of. this Operation Epstein Fury or Epic Fury.
or whatever the hell they're calling it. By the way, do you also know that the. Trump regime in Ecuador is involved in a. mission called Operation Total. Extermination. and they're working with a MAGA puppet. leader of Ecuador and they're blowing up. and exterminating like dairy farmers in. Ecuador and claiming they're. narco-terrorists. So, and while I'm at. the topics, are. are you aware that United States. military bases in the US have been. attacked by drone swarms? I don't think.
this is getting nearly enough attention, but sophisticated drones attacked. Louisiana's Barksdale Bomber Base. That's where the B-52 nuclear. bombing airplanes are based out of. As. Lucas Weber explains, it's the first. time the US airbase was temporarily put. out of operation in wartime, something. that never happened even in World War. II.Should be probably one of the biggest. stories out there, right? I think from. March 9th and March 15th, you had.
multiple unauthorized drone swarms. entering restricted airspace between. March 9th and March 15th. The first. incident involved a single unmanned. aerial system triggering a. shelter-in-place order and terror alert. amid reports from the FBI of potential. drone attacks on US soil. And then later. you saw these sophisticated drone. swarms, each wave consisting of 12 to 15. drones. Drones flew with their lights.
on, intentionally making them visible. The drone waves lasted around 4 hours. each day, which is an extraordinary loiter time. for drones, it's being reported. And. Barksdale Air Force Base does not have. any air defenses, I guess, to protect. our. to protect these airplanes right here. that have these nuclear bomb. capabilities on them. I'll talk more about that in a moment, but these drones had non-commercial.
signals, were resistant to jamming, came. in waves of 12 to 15, swept over. sensitive areas of the base, had. long-range control links, were more. advanced than anything seen in Ukraine. or Russian drones, beyond Iranian. capabilities alone. So, I don't know if. these were made in China. Over multiple. days of incursion, local residents heard. explosions, which Barksdale officials. claimed were weapons testing. And this. is the second base incursion of a. sensitive site in the US in the last two.
weeks. I mean, sounds like a pretty big. deal when you have mystery drone swarms. breaching US nuclear bomb base in drone. waves. Again, I just think that story. needs a little bit more attention right. now. Could you imagine if that was. happening under Biden? Remember when. those weather balloons were being. covered up first under Trump, then there. were like a few weather balloons in the. Biden administration, and all Maga made. it like the biggest deal, and all you. heard about was that on Fox every day? Well, I think these drone swarms right. by.
where our nuclear-capable. airplanes are is something that probably. should be. discussed more. It's going back to. Donald Trump's, I think, fatal. escalation trap. Donald Trump is. weighing several options for. dramatically escalating the Iran war. should his latest push for diplomacy. fail which is not a push for diplomacy. He's making up that he's having. conversations with Iran which he isn't. With Pentagon officials preparing for. the next phase of war by drawing up. scenarios for deploying troops to seize.
various targets within Iran more than. half a dozen people familiar have been. telling CNN. Officials have developed. options for capturing Kharg Island which. handles roughly 90% of Iran's crude. exports or authorizing a bombing raid. aimed at effectively wiping out all. infrastructure on the island in the. Persian Gulf. The administration has. examined the potential for taking over. taking over other strategically placed. islands near Iran that might weaken the. regime's ability to threaten tankers. trying to traverse the Strait of Hormuz.
and lots of people believe that any such. invasion by the US will result in mass. casualties for US troops. So other areas. that the Pentagon is looking to seize. include the Iranian controlled island of. Abu Musa which is located in the Eastern. Persian Gulf near the entrance to the. Strait of Hormuz roughly 40 miles from. both Iran and the United Arab Emirates. sources are telling Axios and Iran is. booby trapping.
the Strait of Hormuz. They're putting. mines there. They're putting mines all. throughout these islands. They are. digging in trenches right now and Iran. stated that they have 1 million soldiers. ready to fight. Iran says they've been. preparing for this for two decades to. have Americans drawn into this war. You. have Iranian top general saying, "What. makes you think if your air force and. your air capabilities weren't able to. break us that your ground troops will?". And so it does seem a very deadly ground.
invasion may be happening very very. soon. I'm unfortunately have to report. what's going on. Trump is considering. what's called a significant action to. shake the Iranians and pressure them to. advance talks. I mean, again, Trump's. one of the most incompetent and idiotic. individual, so him doing this is perhaps. one of the most disastrous developments. of this war to date, but it's exactly. what we've been warning about here on. the Midas Touch. Now, again, we know he. usually likes to launch these invasions. on Friday evening after the markets.
close, so we're going to be paying. attention very closely to what's going. on there. Also, you have the IDF Chief. of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, saying that the IDF, the Israeli Defense. Force, could soon collapse. Think about. that. The entire IDF may be on the verge. of collapse. This is according to IDF. Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, warning. in remarks during a sec- during a. security cabinet meeting that they don't. have adequate forces anymore, that the. reserves need to be.
increased to 450,000, and that through all of the uh conduct. that Israel has engaged in, um that. they're basically been stretched thin. right now. And so, you have also the. United States um finishing or going. through about what, 3 to 8 years of its. interceptor uh of its kind of. interceptor reserves, drone. interceptors. So, you know, US is run as. everybody predicted was going to happen, and Iran knows this. US is running out. of munitions, Israel's running out of.
munitions, Arab nations that the US is. supporting is running out of munitions. Iran is being reinforced by Russia. through the Caspian Sea and elsewhere, and also by China. Trust me, my own view is when some of those. Chinese boats, which are allowed to go. through the Strait of Hormuz under. Iranian supervision, are coming in. My. own view, my own humble view, is that they're probably bringing in uh. weapons and equipment as well uh to help. the Iranians as Russia, China, and Iran.
have been benefiting so much from this. disastrous uh war from this absolutely. catastrophic war. I mean, I think this. one account says it perfectly. Before. the war, Iran was exporting 1.1 million. barrels of oil at $47 a barrel. Right. now, they're exporting 1.5 million. barrels of oil at $120 a barrel and US. has removed all sanctions against them. So, it's a significant victory for Iran. in terms of getting sanctions removed. And you have Iran also just, you know,
out there saying, "Stop, Donald. We're. not requesting 10-day pauses on strikes. on our energy plans. We haven't said any. of this stuff. You're just making it. up." And in fact, as I mentioned, Iran. has ruled out discussing anything about. its missile program. As a starting. point, Iran says, "We're keeping our. missiles and we're not going to commit. any more to ending enriched uranium. forever. We may want it. We see what. happens if we don't have it. So, don't. even ask for that anymore negotiations.
And we control the Strait of Hormuz and. we're going to charge toll fees for it. And there's going to be it's the Strait. of Hormuz is never going to be the. same." Iran is saying. Senior Iranian. officials say that there are no plans. for talks with the US. And any plans do. not appear to be realistic at this. stage. And our markets see what's. happening. Yesterday, the S&P lost uh. um what, $1 trillion of its market cap? It's lost a total of $3.5 trillion since.
the disastrous Iran war. began. If you take a look at the 10-year. note yields, it's up 4.42%. I think that's going to start getting. closer to 5% as well. Mortgage rates are. up to a fresh 7-month hike. Markets are. now pricing in potential interest rate. hikes. Um think about that. Interest rate hikes. are now what's being talked about. And. just what a dramatic change in a very. short period of time. But as Donald.
Trump says, this is my excursion. This. was the excursion that I always wanted. to do right here. An excursion. Well, this is something that's. causing mass catastrophe here in the. United States and you're exposing our. troops to a very, very dangerous. invasion. Donald Trump spent the whole. day also attacking NATO. He says the. Iran war was a test for NATO and he's. disappointed that NATO didn't pass his. test. Remember my statements in a number. of months from now, Donald Trump says. Never forget. Never forget. Then he.
attacks the UK. He's like, they said. we'll send our aircraft carriers, which. aren't the best aircraft carriers, by. the way. Their aircraft carriers are. toys compared to what we have. When the. war is over, I said, that's wonderful. We don't need it. We don't need them. Okay, well, I know you want to continue. to remove sanctions from Russia and. Belarus and Iran and you're helping all. of them out. You're helping Russia, Iran, and Belarus and all the Russian. proxies. I don't know you want to send. JD Vance to Hungary. next week to help prop up Viktor Orban.
in the upcoming elections there. Well, Iran's using its money not just kill. Ukrainians, but to go after Americans. and to help Iran target the American. bases. 13 American bases have now. essentially been evacuated by the United. States military because they're under. constant drone attack, FPV drones, giant. drones, and the like. as a result of Russia working with Iran. to help target Americans and Donald. Trump continues to praise Putin, which. is so utterly unacceptable and. despicable. So, going back to the title.
of this video, Donald Trump's falling. into this escalation trap. It's so. obvious what's going to happen if he. pushes our troops. We know that this is. a disaster waiting to happen. I believe. he's sending our troops into a meat. grinder and there's going to be mass. casualties. I hate to say it, but I. believe that's what's going to happen. Families of these individuals who are. being sent there are absolutely. terrified right now and rightfully so. No one even understands why we're in. Iran other than the fact that Donald. Trump was chasing Netanyahu of who can. invade it first. Netanyahu said he was. going to do it. Trump said, "Okay, I'll. do it you Netanyahu." And now we're in.
this disastrous war where we were. promised the people of Iran were going. to rise up and say we love America. Quite the contrary is what's happening. But we'll keep.
