“Epic Fury” — Epic Fail: the United States Has Capitulated

The 15-day armistice proposed by Trump to Iran on 08.04.2026, after he had threatened only a day earlier that he would completely destroy Iranian civilisation, is

THE GREATEST DEFEAT IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE USA,

a defeat more shameful than Afghanistan and Vietnam put together. There is no doubt!

What does the “victorious” plan accepted by Trump after 38 days of war and several consecutive “obliterations” of the Iranian enemy contain? Why, here is Iran’s 10-point proposal, which includes:

• No future aggression

• Iran keeps control of the Strait of Hormuz

• Acceptance of uranium enrichment

• The lifting of all sanctions

• American forces withdraw from the region

• Compensation paid to Iran

• The war ends on all fronts (including Lebanon!)

What is more, according to AP reports, the two-week ceasefire Plan includes the right of Iran as well as of Oman to levy fees (very probably in Yoani) on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a regional official declared on Wednesday.

The official declared that Iran will use the money collected for reconstruction. All right… It is not clear, however, what Oman will use its money for.

Q.E.D.: THE USA HAS BEEN DEFEATED!

SHAMEFUL! HUMILIATING!

EPOCHAL — literally!!! And EPIC, of course!

The petrodollar is on a drip…

As proof of what I have said above, behold:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has just reposted the declaration of the Iranian foreign minister Araghchi, thus attempting to gain the goodwill of the enemy he was furiously besieging and whom he “obliterated” several times over. (a post which I leave below)

The kneeling of the former hegemon has as its direct consequence the defeat and humiliation of the Israeli partner, the Pakistani Prime Minister saying that the agreement includes Lebanon as well, in a context in which

🇮🇱🇺🇸 the Israel Broadcasting Authority has reported that Israel took no part in the negotiating process concerning Iran, but that the US Vice-President is said to have persuaded Satanyahu to take the decision to conclude an armistice.

Meanwhile, at 04:02, the hour at which I write these lines, Iran continues to bombard Israel (in Tehran, Kermanshah and Beersheba), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, an American official declaring to Axios that “The ceasefire will begin this evening (US time), but we estimate it will take some time before the orders reach the units on the ground within the IRGC…” QED!

Perhaps that is why Israeli officials are (a little) concerned about the temporary two-week ceasefire agreement which the USA has concluded with Iran, according to CNN.

In conclusion, I do not know how you interpret all this, but to me it seems that

THE USA HAS (MORE OR LESS) CAPITULATED!

Today, 08.04.2026, the USA has just been demoted from the position of sole and “undisputed” hegemon to the status of a regional power, retaining however control over colonies such as Romania and Venezuela in Europe and South America.

That is why I am convinced that this is indeed a historically optimal moment for inaugurating a park bearing the name of Donald Trump in Bucharest!

Congratulations, Băluță — impeccable inspiration!

God is great!

Postscript:

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump maintains a cautious optimism regarding the negotiations with Iran, Fox News has reported. According to the television channel, “the US president does not wish to endanger the negotiating process” — for, God forbid, the Iranians might add another point to the plan and mention some condition of nuclear disarmament across the region! 😉

Postscript 2, at 04:26:

⚠️ ‼️🇮🇱🇮🇷🇱🇧 Israeli press: “Israel” has ceased firing and the attacks from Iran and Lebanon have ceased.

At the same time, 🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is said to have ordered all branches of the military to cease fire, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, about two hours after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire.

The guns have fallen silent, glory be to God!

*Habemus pacem?*

Writings on society, domestic politics and justice

The longest chapter of the book is the chronicle of an internal battle: parties, governments, presidents, services, courts — and, beyond them, the whole of Romanian society, with its beliefs, its wounds and its hopes. Written in the heat of the moment, often in the midst of events, these pages are at once pamphlet and plea — the testimony of a lawyer who refuses to separate politics from law, and law from justice.
