Trump Announces End of War While Pentagon Still Looking for Its Map

US President Donald Trump yesterday announced a revolution in military strategy during a CBS interview, claiming that the war with Iran is largely over. This announcement caused slight confusion at the Pentagon, where social media specialists at that very moment were writing that they had only just begun to fight. As one Liepāja military expert comments: "This kind of coordination reminds us of cooperation between Durbe and Liepāja on bus routes — everyone goes their own way, but the result is the same."

Trump indicated in the interview that Iran has no navy, no communications, no air force, which only caused bewilderment in Liepāja — how can you do anything without these basic things? Local residents admit that even Durbe with its peaceful lifestyle manages to maintain at least bus stops and mobile network coverage. "If Iran is as helpless as Trump claims, then why do they need four to five weeks at all?" asks a pensioner from Daugavgrīvas Street.

Most questions arise from Trump's comment about the Strait of Hormuz, which he intends to "take over," but simultaneously notes that traffic there is already resuming. Such logic in Liepāja is only familiar from situations when someone simultaneously complains about the wind and rejoices about the fresh air. While Washington tries to understand whether the war has started or ended, cranes in Liepāja port continue working peacefully, proving that real efficiency comes from clarity, not from contradictory announcements.

The new Iranian leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, will receive no message from Trump because, as the president admitted, he has "absolutely no" message for him. This only raises questions in Liepāja — how can you conduct international politics without at least a basic greeting? Even the mayor of Durbe, when meeting neighbors, at least says "Good day."
