The war of words...

The warrior vocabulary has invaded the world.

It's been a while, but we definitely reached a milestone over the past week when, this Sunday, April 5, on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump posted: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.President DONALD J. TRUMP”. Subsequently, he told Fox News that there was a good chance of reaching a deadline on Monday, but that he was considering the possibility of "blowing everything up and taking over the oil" if it was not reached quickly. And reiterating his threat to totally destroy “Iranian civilization”.

This isn't just someone ranting on their little page on social media. It is the President of the United States who uses language of absolutely crazy violence, excess and scope. Totally destroy a civilization, really? Like playing Lego? In what world is expressing this way acceptable for, moreover, the President of a country which claims more than ever to be the leading world power?

The problem is that we are witnessing a total normalization of this violence and this excessive language. It's Trump, they say, with a form of fatalism.

And it is Trump, who has also accustomed the world to his inexplicable about-faces, who two days later, on Tuesday April 7, returned to his threats of apocalypse by announcing that an agreement had been reached with Iran for a cease-fire including a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. After talking about annihilation, he is going to join forces with those judged yesterday too dangerous with their risk of nuclear weapons to, in the end, make money by co-managing the passage through the strategic Strait dâOrmuzâ¦

And here is the nerve of this war, like so many others, exposed vividly and without complex. Because that is what it is also about from the start: what war brings to some people. While throughout the world, the economic repercussions of this attack against Iran carried out by the United States and Israel will be catastrophic, while at home the price of electricity increases accordingly by 15% and the price of bread by 50%, for some, close to Donald Trump, in particular, the war is a financial windfall.

In fact, the United States is clearly moving towards a real war economy that is increasingly massive and long-term. Donald Trump thus announced last week his decision to ask Congress to bring the total military spending of the United States to the prodigious sum of 1.500 billion dollars in 2027: i.e. 1.100 billion for the Pentagon and an addition of almost 400 billion dollars p
