Wirtschaftsnarr 3

Obwohl dem überforderten US-Präsidenten schon für die geplante Operation Economic Outcast gegen einen entfesselten Iran –

For years, Iran confronted a balance of power in the Middle East that tilted against it. The region was dominated by a hostile American superpower, a nuclear-armed and militarily superior Israel, and significant local actors—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates—that were strategically and economically aligned with the United States.

Today finds Iran in entirely new circumstances. It has gone head-to-head with the superpower and Israel, withstood a pounding from their most advanced weapons, and more than survived. As a result, Iran has, with American help, completely reconfigured the power structure of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. The dominant power in the region going forward will be Iran, not the U.S. or Israel. Neighboring countries are already making their adjustments to this new reality. More distant powers will too. For years, the world has been dealing with an Iran constrained. It will now discover what Iran unleashed looks like.

– die Unterstützung ehemaliger Verbündeter und strategischer Rivalen fehlt –

But Beijing and Moscow might not comply with Bessent’s demands. The Russian embassy in Washington didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington told me in a written statement that sanctions and pressure tactics do no help in resolving issues and called on all parties to act rationally and to avoid doing anything that may further escalate tensions or deal a blow to global economic growth and financial stability. The spokesperson added that China will watch the developments and do what is necessary to protect our legitimate rights and interests.

– kann er der Versuchung eines heroischen Zweifrontenwirtschaftskriegs nicht widerstehen. Als zweiten Gegner hat sich der Wirtschaftsnarr (B.Sc.) zielsicher ein höfliches, aber nicht unterwürfiges Nachbarland mit einer hohen Integration in die Wirtschaft wahltaktisch wichtiger US-Bundesstaaten ausgesucht.

Um dem berechtigten Eindruck entgegen zu wirken, die hohe US-Inflation sei ihm völlig egal (I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation), tritt der auf seine Unberechenbarkeit bedachte Regierungschef gleichzeitig einer seiner wichtigsten Wählergruppen mit der Einfuhr zollfreien Billigfleisches vors Schienbein:

We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25% below current market prices, he wrote on Truth Social, without specifying which companies or importers were involved. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.

But the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, one of industry’s largest trade organizations, said it was disappointed by the announcement, writing that flooding the market with government-subsidized, below-market beef is not the way to rebuild the American cattle herd.

Ob die originelle Wahlstrategie, US-amerikanische Konsumentinnen und Produzentinnen gleichermaßen zu verprellen, im November aufgeht, ist fraglich. Andererseits hat die Familie Trump ihren Schnitt längst gemacht und zur Abrundung einer erfolgreichen Kurzzeit-Präsidentschaft fehlen nur noch ein paar frische Bau-, Umbenennungs- und Renovierungsprojekte.
