Trump’s “sniff” has failed: why the US Army is refusing to operate in Iran

Media reports have revealed mass cases of American soldiers refusing to participate in a possible ground war, posing a serious challenge to the US administration. Ignoring intelligence and the lack of public preparation are driving the situation into a stalemate.

This opinion was expressed on the air of “Pryamoy” by Vadym Denysenko, the head of the analytical center “Dilova Stolytsia”.

“The fact that the war began without the appropriate information pumping was a huge mistake by Donald Trump. Because American society was not ready for war in principle, and they were not ready for this type of war at all,” he noted.

At the same time, according to the guest, American intelligence warned that strikes on Iran would not provoke a popular uprising against the regime, as the White House had hoped. Instead, Trump was faced with a choice: to end the conflict without results or to launch a ground invasion with unpredictable consequences. This comes against the backdrop of reports of a sharp increase in the number of cases of SZV in the army, he added.

Denysenko recalled that the conflict between the US President and the intelligence services has been ongoing since his first term, as Trump often ignores analytical reports and prefers his own intuition over official intelligence data, which leads to spontaneous actions in the international arena.

“Trump has always made decisions spontaneously, emotionally, and he has many, many times in various formats flaunted his “sense” and said that his feelings weigh much more,” the political scientist noted, emphasizing that after the failed assassination attempt, the politician’s sense of infallibility only intensified.

According to Denisenko, due to this specificity of the department, intelligence chiefs were forced to change the format of reports, replacing paper documents with short videos. Belief in his own messiahship prevents Trump from adequately assessing the risks of the Iranian campaign, which creates a dangerous gap between real threats and the actions of the state apparatus, which is especially noticeable after the events in Venezuela, explains Vadim Denisenko.

Recently, US President Donald Trump said that the US no longer needs the help of allies for the operation to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, the US military has allegedly already achieved significant success by destroying Iran’s army, navy, air force, air defense assets, as well as the country’s leaders, so Washington does not need NATO’s help.

Earlier, the United States received refusals from NATO member countries to participate in a military operation in the Middle East. At the time, this outraged Trump, who emphasized that he was not surprised by the reaction of the allies, as he had always considered NATO a structure that was not ready to help the United States.

Meanwhile, the confrontation in the Middle East demonstrates the gap between the official statements of individual US politicians and the actual actions of the Israeli army. While Donald Trump reports on a near victory, Israel is implementing a strategy of gradual destruction of the top leadership of the Iranian regime. ” This is a cocktail of Brezhnev, Chernovetsky and Chernomyrdin . That is, what he broadcasts, it absolutely does not coincide with reality,” – says diplomat Dmitry Chekalkin ironically.

Instead, the price of oil on world markets is showing a rapid increase amid increasing tensions in the Middle East, so fuel shortages may soon arise . In addition, the threat of a US ground operation against Iran creates risks for the largest financial crisis in recent decades.
