there are tens of millions of Americans who voted for America first who have been seething over this administration's complete and utter surrender to Israel. I pray this is the damn breaking. We are all sick and tired of being lied to. This is perhaps the greatest deception ever perpetrated on our citizens in American History

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Really? Gulf of Tonkin? Pearl Harbor? Biden’s ‘competency’? 2020 election? CIA involvement in Kennedy assassination?

Matrix2008's avatar

Don't leave out Israel’s involvement in JFK’s assassination (declassified documents are readily available) as well as 911. 💯 Really. From the escalator ride down in 2015 to today. We've never had a president with so much documentation laying out exactly how he was going to put America first with endless rallies and endless campaign promises laid out in black and white. Can you name one America first tenant that hasn't been broken?

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

So, you would rather have had Kamalalalala in the Oval Office????

Really?

Katrina's avatar

The truth Roger is that it makes no difference. Left and right are both exactly the same. People are watching theatre and nothing more. Outside forces, other than those you vote for (and delude yourself into thinking you actually made a choice) are running the country. The Zionists are in charge.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

I beg to differ with you: DiSantis is not the same as G Newsom.

So , please, define Zionist and give examples.

How is their control manifest?

Who would you rather be running the country?

Thanks in advance.

Katrina's avatar

Review history Roger…real history…not what mainstream gives you. Read creature from Jekyl island, look into the Rothchilds, Rockefellers, Gates crew, et al. They are all eugenicists and they own everything. Yes, they and others of their ilk are all Zionists and they pretty much run everything because they own it all…including the education system, mainstream media and politicians.

There are two definitions of Zionist. The official being at best a misrepresentation, claims its a belief in a Jewsish homeland. The true definition is one of a genocidal terrorist regime bent on holding humanity hostage to a thuggish Supremacist Ideology, that would put it boots on the necks of every man, woman or child that did not have the power to resist their demonic arrogance.

No one ever defines Zionism. It's just used like a magic word like abracadabra. There are so many definitions that it should probably never be used. It's babel inspired., No one ever knows what YOU mean and your never know what they agree or disagree with.

Oh, hi delusional Jew-hater!

So 1.5 bln head China who OWNS our congress and colleges with donations which equal multiples of AIPAC's is NOT in charge.

Qatar & other Muslim countries of 2 bln that own our colleges with donations which equal multiples of AIPAC's is NOT in charge.

It's the 20 mln Jooooz. The millennia old drivel

there is no party. The last president who attempted to show the difference between parties was assassinated.

Well they certainly tried their hardest to assassinate our current president (& anyone who paid any attention to the details around the Butler, PA attempt sees all kinds of inside deep state fingerprints all over that.)

President Trump IS doing the right thing. Iran Must never have a nuke and here are the reasons;

As of early 2026, the IAEA said, Iran could produce enough weapons-grade fissile material for a single nuclear weapon in a matter of days or weeks, due to its large stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60% and advanced centrifuge capabilities. 

A February 2026 IAEA report indicated Iran had nearly 441 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, sufficient for nearly 10 nuclear weapons if enriched to 90%. 

Iran has claimed to have developed and tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a range of up to 10,000 kilometers, which would theoretically allow it to reach targets across Europe and the continental United States.

Iranian leadership and ideologues have explicitly linked global chaos and conflict to the preparation for the return of the Twelfth Imam, the Mahdi. They believe they must ignite world conflagration and mayhem as a pre requisite in fulfilling their desire to have their 12 Imam return to the earth.

In Twelver Shia Islam, the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, is believed to be the Mahdi, the "Guided One," who will reappear at the end of time to establish global justice and peace. This belief is central to the doctrine of Mahdism, which holds that the 12th Imam entered a state of occultation (ghaybah) after his father’s death in 874 CE and remains hidden by divine will until God permits his reappearance.

* Ayatollah Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri, a senior Iranian cleric, stated on August 6, 2019: “In Order For the Hidden Imam to Reappear We Must Engage in Widespread Fighting with the West.” This directly frames conflict with the West as a necessary step toward the Mahdi’s reappearance. 

https://harbingersdaily.com/apocalypse-obsessed-experts-call-irans-new-leader-

Uniquely-dangerous-more-radical-than-his-father/* Hojatoleslam Ali Saeedi, former representative of the Supreme Leader to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), declared in 2012: “The IRGC is one of the tools for paving the way for the emergence of the Imam of the Age [Mahdi] in the field of a regional and international awakening.” This positions the IRGC’s military and political actions as instrumental in triggering the Mahdi’s return. 

* Mehdi Taeb, a leading cleric and brother of the IRGC Intelligence Organization chief, stated in 2015: “Remove the obstacles to the emergence of the Imam of the Age, the most important of which is the existence of the usurper regime of Israel.” This identifies Israel as a key obstacle to the Mahdi’s return, justifying its eradication as a religious duty. 

* The 2012 Iranian government manifesto, published by the Center for Strategic Studies, outlines a global transformation process that includes “emergence and uprising,” “invitation and struggle,” “victory of truth and destruction of evil,” and “domination of the world.” It explicitly states that “great wars” will occur after the Mahdi’s arrival, initiated by Western actions, and that “the discourse of liberal democracy” is the primary obstacle to the establishment of the Mahdi’s world government. 

* Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, during his presidency, repeatedly called for the “hasty return” of the Mahdi and declared that the Islamic Republic’s mission was to “prepare for the establishment of a world government” under the Mahdi. 
 He claimed the Mahdi would reappear in four years (2013), and framed the Iran-Iraq War as a practical application of Mahdism through the “love of the Mahdi’s representative, Khomeini.” 

These statements and documents collectively reveal a state ideology that views global conflict, especially with the West and Israel, not as a threat, but as a divinely mandated precondition for the Mahdi’s return. 

More proofs in particular recent proof and statements

Recent Iranian statements and ideological developments continue to affirm that global chaos and conflict are necessary to prepare for the return of the Twelfth Imam. 

1. IRGC’s 2022 Doctrine: "Waiting Means Soldiering"

In March 2022, the IRGC published a doctrinal text stating: “Waiting means that we must prepare ourselves for soldiering in the army of Imam of the Age.” This redefines entezar-e faraj (waiting for relief) as active military and ideological preparation, not passive anticipation. The IRGC declared it must be on a “war footing” to fight “all centers of power and international corruption” before the Mahdi’s return. 

* Hojatoleslam Haji-Sadeghi, Khamenei’s representative to the IRGC, reaffirmed in 2022: “The IRGC’s last responsibility is to prepare the world for the emergence of Imam of the Age.”

* This aligns with Ali Saeedi’s 2012 declaration that the IRGC is a tool for “regional and international awakening” ahead of the Mahdi’s return. 

IRGC Mahdism doctrine 2022

2. Eradication of Israel as a Religious Duty

The belief that Israel’s destruction is a prerequisite for the Mahdi’s return has become mainstream within the IRGC. 

* Mehdi Taeb, IRGC-linked cleric and brother of the IRGC Intelligence chief, stated in 2015: “The most important obstacle to the Imam of the Age’s emergence is the existence of the usurper regime of Israel.” This view is now widely echoed. 

* The Middle East Institute (January 8, 2026) confirmed that the IRGC increasingly frames its regional actions—especially in Syria and Yemen—as fulfilling Shi’a prophecies about the Sufyani (a tyrant from Damascus) and the Yamani (a righteous leader from Yemen), both seen as precursors to the Mahdi.

3. Regional Conflicts as Apocalyptic Signposts

* The IRGC’s involvement in Syria and support for the Houthis in Yemen are explicitly justified as fulfilling religious prophecy.

* Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Mousavi Jazayeri, Khamenei’s representative in Khuzestan, claimed in 2026: “The presence of ISIS and chaos in Iraq are signs of the emergence of Sufiyani,” a key apocalyptic figure. 

* The IRGC’s role in Syria is described as “laying the international and regional ground for the emergence of the Imam of the Age.” 

Iran IRGC Mahdi prophecy

4. Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Indirect Endorsement

While Khamenei avoids direct apocalyptic rhetoric, his ideological framework supports it.

* He has long emphasized “active waiting” for the Mahdi, rejecting passive mourning in favor of “jihad in Allah’s way.”

* His representative, Saeedi, has consistently linked IRGC operations to Mahdist preparation, a doctrine Khamenei has never repudiated. 

5. Nuclear Program and Apocalyptic Readiness

* Analysts note that Mahdism is a “blind spot” in Western understanding of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

* The belief that “the hand of God is guiding” Iran’s leaders to trigger “cataclysmic events” persists, especially among younger, more radical IRGC generations.

* As Mohammad Reza Naghdi, a senior IRGC commander, stated in early 2026: “Our hard revenge will be the expulsion of the U.S. from the region and the eradication of the Zionist regime.” 

Rituals and Beliefs: The IRGC emphasizes Mahdism, the belief in the eventual return of the 12th Imam (the Mahdi), and sees itself as preparing the world for his reappearance. 

 This worldview reinforces a "war footing" mentality, where military readiness is a spiritual obligation. 

 Events like the "International Conference on the Decline of the United States" held at Imam Hossein University (the IRGC’s academic arm) serve as political rituals reinforcing the belief that the IRGC is on the side of divine history.

sure..... until the regime is totally toppled - threats gone (gone gone) and the Iranian people looking for a democratic government - take over and there's elections.

Will the naysayers admit, a stroke of genius just washed over the world?

Add Venezuela... Cuba likely without a bullet fired, eventually cartel world in Mexico.... then maybe the globalist wokesters in Canada will 'woke up'... drop the DEI bullshit --- and become ONE with America - again.

Your spin = glass half empty

The actual reality - Very likely -- the glass half full crowd....... makes more $ in the markets.

Lefties are still pissed, they didn't see the buying opp in April 2025. Glass half empty crowd, will cry to the sky.

Says you no one else. We like Israel don’t want Nunes entering our country and their leader make many efforts to tell us it was coming sooner than later. How many warning do you think we needed especially after they received in the still of the night billions of our hard earned money with out our permission to continue their nuke efforts to develop the last pieces and of his promise. You don’t belong in that job if you are thinking on those lines.

Ernest Zurkan's avatar

The people who imported Islam into the West have an agenda, Trump is trying to stop the islamification of America.

Just look to all the Countries of the British Commonwealth to see how close to being lost for keeps America would be had the Democrat cabal that opened the floodgates to the third world stole the election again.

Just consider for a moment that Iran did in fact have a game plan to slay America and having the knowledge, Trump acted proactively instead of responding after the fact / reactively, which may have saved any number of ungrateful Trump hating butts.

If Iran was up to no good, and I have no trouble accepting that notion, would Trump's intervention be 'war', or a 'defensive action' taken by a responsible leader?

That is false. Trump closed the borders and is actively removing as many of the villains as he can find. We did...over a very long period of time culminating in the tens of millions that Biden invited in during his term in office. Now we've got to clean up the mess. ICE needs a free hand to do that and anyone who interferes should get a minimum of a year in Federal detention and a felony on their record.

Absolutely, Biden screwed up. And some of the illegals have committed further crimes.

letterwriter's avatar

No we haven't been. Post WW2, the US had an excellent reputation in the entire Middle East and was highly esteemed by all nations and post-Ottoman protectorates there. It was the Jewish Zionist lobby which destroyed all of that, for their own gain, at our expense. Working from the inside, these traitors degraded the Supreme Court (Brandeis), involved Truman in multiple treasons, from gun-running to quid pro quo cash for policy, to "recognizing" the Jewish terrorist militants as a "state" against the advice of his entire 1947-48 State Department.

The story is outlined in this book

https://archive.org/details/weir-alison-against-our-better-judgment-the-hidden-history-of-how-the-u.-s.-was-_202404/mode/1up , 'Against Our Better Judgment' and the footnotes and archives contain even more than this author discusses.

Before even reading this book I had been reading in the State Department archives and it appears simply from the memos in 1947-1948 that Chaim Weizmann is the one who engineered a feeling of alarm within our analysts about "Russia", and also that he played a triple cross in which he used a (known double loyalty) British MP to set up the USA to clean up the political mess that Zionists were about to create by attacking the Palestinians.

Our State Dept knew all along that the Jewish Zionists would attack and then come running to the world, claiming that they were the victims.

We would have been able to stop all of this from happening and we would have had mutually beneficial mercantilist relationships with the entire Middle East, if it weren't for a small handful of zealots.

In cold point of fact, the Islamic fundamentalism didn't even exist at that time, and only arose decades after the Jewish terror regime began calling itself "Israel", and the inhabitants of the region tried many other organizing principles first, before religion became the one that stuck. This is no surprise given the immense sorrow which the repeated Jewish Zionists attacks created in every land which they coveted. Religion is often the solace of the grieving. Even so, it was incredibly slow to take root.

Compared to the speed at which Jewish fundamentalism--Zionism-- rose in Central/Eastern Europe aka West Asia, the Muslim turn to intensified religion was glacial. But Judaism has always been organized around "ethno"nationalist supremacy and applause for rapine and slaughter in pursuit of territorial gains, so it's no surprise that as soon as the countries of modernizing Europe asked Jews to assimilate in exchange for the civic freedoms-of-the-public-square they kept demanding, the "pious" Zionist Jews would fly into a rage and develop their aggressive nationalist program.

By contrast, Islamic faith is universalist like Christianity and ethnic separatism and violent territorialism aren't integral to its beliefs.

~ ~

[In fact, Wahhabism developed from Donmeh Judaism, an offshoot of the same Sabbatean messianism which produced Hassidism which produced Religious Zionism. Wahhabism is Zionism's brother and its proponents are Ashkenazi come south to the Middle East looking for territory and dominion as always. The confusion they proclaim, of being the only valid Islamic belief system, is just false. And the origins in Donmeh are why the House of Saud is cooperative with Israel. Fast forward to their mutual involvement in scamming the USA via 9-11. We should never mistake Wahhabist bloodlust for Islamic belief. But that's its own set of historical threads.]

prsmith's avatar

Wow!! What a load of crap. You missed the entire thrust of my post. Most of what you listed here is irrelevant and much is simply false.

letterwriter's avatar

Wow! The State Dept memos are entirely true, zealot :). The problem is, religious maniacs never step forward into modernity. They can't see the actual situation of modern Arabs in 1948 wanting normal trading relationships with countries worldwide, because they think everyone is still running around in linen robes and chainmail hollering that their pope is best. Of course modernity isn't relevant to people with that set of OCD phantasms filling their fields of view. Modernity is nevertheless where we were. Jewish Zionism was the first to start trying to drag us backwards. It began in the 1830s, and hasn't stopped since.

Here's an American Zionist article from 1914, explaining their medieval "piety" in detail: https://archive.org/details/no5maccabaean24zionuoft/page/142/mode/2up

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are approximately 2 billion Muslims in the World and 30% are allegedly Wahhabists, which equates to around 600 million followers who operate on the basis of their 'Islamic beliefs'.

Seeing the way they carry out their presumed duty to the faith, I would suggest the Wahhabi crew represent a huge and extremely dangerous threat to the continuation of civilization.

Yes, I agree; not all Muslims are bad however, has anyone 'ever' seen, or heard of a mosque located anywhere on planet Earth condemning the radical members of the greater faith following one of their many horrific demonstrations of hate?

How did they make their way to Europe? The bankers game is clear- incite a new "divide and conquer" war between Christians and Muslims. Too bad we know it's the same people who just attacked white Christians in western world and eastern Europe for being christian, and too bad we know the "raping muslims" were brought to Europe also by "them" to terrorize local populations, of course after "they" bombed their countries and killed their children.

And yet Biden’s Ukraine disaster quietly rages on thanks to billons of tax payer US funds sent to despot whatever that third rate actor pseudo presidente is. Don’t seem outraged by the modern day Nazi outpost. Any dolt who thinks the hezbolla mullas represent Persia also supports the endless slaughter, rape and enslavement of natives who yearn to be free, millions who are Christians and non-radicalized Muslims.

Any mental midget not understanding the critical world piece Israel serves smashed between nations who strive nothing but its demise have no sense of morality, certainly ignorance of the Caliphate’s world domination wet dream. Naturally cheered on by so many Marxist fools within and abroad.

While I respect your opinion, you be a wee bit too sensitive wielding the slander tool of dehumanization - at least in your attempt at such.

My point is still valid regarding Biden’s Ukraine debacle and complete disaster of Afghanistan surrender. Not a fan of ground wars at all coming from generations of Marine and Navy vets. Some “excursions” are necessary for freedom. Sorry if my comments hit you too hard. I do see the domino effect in play if Israel is isolated by the “peace loving” world. I simply will never forget that infamous October cold blooded assault on innocents. May Israel live forever!

DEB WARNER's avatar

EXACTLY!!! It's brilliant strategy, and apparently too brilliant for the lot commenting on here. It's not only contributing to peace in the Middle East, but is very effective in dealing with the issues with China and Russia. Many birds with one stone. AND IT'S NOT AN ENDLESS WAR (technically it's not a war)!! It's peace through strength, for which he was elected, among other things, like closing the border - check, deporting the millions of criminal and terrorist illegals - still working on it, no thanks to the leftist loonies, bringing down inflation - check, strengthening the economy - check, balancing the trade deficit...FINALLY!!! - check, reducing the deficit - in the not too distant future, as long as the leftist loonies stay out of the way, etc, etc, etc... Remember it's only been a little over a year and we're WAY better off than we were during the last administration. Also remember we were globally weak and the laughing stock of the world! Now we're strong and globally respected again. Give his policies time to work and our economy will be booming, in spite of the infinite attempts of the lefty loonies to thwart everything he does.

Back to the "war", the Iranian regime touted "death to Israel" and "death to America" too many times to count. So yes, this is Israel's "war", but it's ours too. We were both threatened by a regime that was very evil, and also very powerful. It's logical to work together to be rid of the common enemy once and for all, before they rid themselves of us!! And the weakness and stupidity of previous administrations' pitiful attempts proved that this regime cannot be trusted for anything but our destruction. So do we wait for them to strike first, and lose far more lives than we are now (not to minimize those losses, but the point must be made)? So to those who want to talk history, don't forget to consider all the terror and ruthless murders the Iranian regime and all their proxies brought into this world over the last 47 years, not to mention hundreds of thousands of murders of their own people, especially recently!! That's how little they value human life, if not even their own people, what chance do we stand? If you hate living under this administration so much, go live in Iran and suffer under the evil, brutal regime... oh wait, you can't because they're being annihilated!!!!

We can agree on the arrogance of both. You’ve not addressed the future of a nuclear Iran and its implications. I’ll wait.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

Iran repeatedly stated they were not producing nukes and International organizations such IAEIA agreed they had been following the original JCPOA. Trump tore that agreement up for Israel and has subsequently bombed them and now initiated a war while Israel has for years has rebuffed the international scrutiny of their nuclear program. I'd say Iran is now absolutely going to complete a nuclear bomb program and for that you have Trump and Israel to blame.

Fred's avatar

Iran stated they’re, “not producing nukes,” yet already have enough to produce a nuclear bomb of some magnitude. Trustworthy they are not. I remember the faux “inspections.” They are being battered, were offered free nuclear energy, and still won’t give up their enriched nuclear materials. What does that tell you? /r

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

And the USG is trustworthy? Do you really? I suspect you remember what you read and took it at face value. Who offered free nuclear energy and how would that work? Why does Israel possess nuclear weapons and why have they never submitted to any of the international inspections or nonproliferation?

Up until now all international agencies including our own such as Tulsi Gabbard, as the Director of National Intelligence, has stated that U.S. intelligence agencies assessed Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. She later suggested they could if they wanted to. I try to filter out the propaganda on this subject.

Phil Davis's avatar

Perhaps we should let them nuke each other out. If you think this attack on Iran is going to make the region better, I have a hard history lesson for you. What this attack does to Iran is open a power vacuum. Just as with attacking Iraq, an important tent pin of stability was removed that contained Iran. However, the Neocons, which Trump has fully become, don't care about implications such as oil pricing, new territorial wars, world trade, and the economy.

Anyone backing this war on Iran is in for a surprise ride and more debt to the 37.5 trillion already accumulated, mainly because of the Neocons' zest for endless wars. We're still paying interest on WW2 and all the imbicelic wars thereafter.

There will never be peace until Neocons in all countries are eliminated. However, we are going in the opposite direction. I had high hopes for Trump's pledge to end nonsensical wars, but so it goes. Nothing about this attack will be quick.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

Great question. It’s multifaceted based upon the geopolitics of the entire globe I think. The Covid exposure of globalist attempts to remove our liberties, freedom of speech, combined with open border policies, and the fraud and waste seen domestically to prop up the far left ideology of the Democratic Party. With that background in play and my further understanding of the role that the London bankers have in geopolitics I’m less inclined to be anti-war as long as we keep boots off the ground. I find the role that Trump is taking as being a leader in aligning much of the Middle East Gulf states towards mutual prosperity and peace and it seems a Shia militant Iran is the thorn in the side in that area. I take the role of getting the entire Middle East and Gulf states in better alignment with us and taking a run at prosperity within that fold being untenable with the theocracy that now exists in Iran.

No, Ernest, the threat you perceive is not based in reality.

On the contrary, a war of aggression (which is what this war is) is a war crime, and anyone who supports it is complicit in war crimes.

But if Trump and the neocons and Zionists should be so foolish to introduce ground troops, there will indeed be many boxes coming home to the US.

But based on your English, I bet that you are not a U.S. citizen; Aussie? English? In any case, if you are a U.S. citizen, I presume you or your children or grandchildren will be volunteering to participate in that ground invasion?

Fred's avatar

Not a fan of the war, and not minimizing the lives lost, but how many would die in a nuclear attack? Iran openly pledges “death to America,” their religion requires Islamization of the infidels, and they recently murdered many thousands of their own citizens. You think they wouldn’t at least hold us hostage with nucs?

Daniel Wirt's avatar

You are sadly misinformed on all these counts. Review some history to understand why Iranians might shout “death to America”. You are a victim of Zionist propaganda. In the recent regime change attempt by Mossad and the CIA, demonstrations were peaceful (the proximate cause being year of sanctions - economic siege warfare - and Bessent’s currency manipulation, “economic statecraft”) until paid thugs were infiltrated to spark violence, with the death toll about 3000, including many police). No US intelligence that Iran was building a nuclear weapon. But now that the bonehead Zionists have killed Khomeini Sr., they may well do so. The Zionist refrain is: but why would Iran enrich to the high level? The answer is obvious and recently stated openly by a high Israeli intelligence officer. But I’ll let you do your own homework. Trump has committed political suicide. Trump is good for one thing, and that is unfolding.

Phil Davis's avatar

Do you know why Iran wants a nuclear program? It's the same reason Russia, China, India, and Pakistan seek nuclear arms.

It's because Israel has nukes. Iran wants a deterrent.

I dislike Iranian religious arrogance, just as I despise Jewish religious arrogance. Both sides are blemishes on our modern world, with their feud dating back to Abraham.

That's the simple explanation. So, who are the terrorists? Well, they're both guilty. And America has taken a stand that will not end well in a religious war.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

"with their feud dating back to Abraham."

How could that be? Islam was not a reality until the seventh century AD. In addition, the enmity between Jews and Islam is more about the creation of Israel in 1948. in earlier periods the Jews were accorded more rights than Christians in Islamic dominated lands. In Persia, modern day Iran, Jews still live and plan to stay as do many Christians albeit both are small in sheer numbers The real enemy of both Islam and the Jews has always been Christianity, specifically Catholicism, both Roman and Eastern Orthodox. The Christian Zionists, AKA Evangelicals, are useful idiots for the Zionists

Abraham's wife, Sarah, gave birth to Isaac. Then his concubine, Hagar, gave birth to Ishmael. Hagar was Abraham's concubine and the mother of Ishmael. Ishmael is considered the ancestor of the Arabs, while Isaac is the patriarch of the Israelites.

From Google AI:October 2020: Welcoming the first United Arab Emirates (UAE) delegation to Israel, Netanyahu said, "Jews and Arabs are the descendants of one common ancestor: Abraham… in his spirit we wish to foster a Middle East of coexistence and cooperation".

Abraham Accords (2020-2022): The accords themselves are named to highlight the shared heritage of Jews and Muslims as descendants of Abraham, fostering connections between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

Reported shortly before the 1990–1991 Gulf War in the Wall Street Journal, quoting a “senior Gulf official” was this statement:

“You think I want to send my teen-aged son to die for Kuwait?” he asked, then chuckled. “We have our white slaves from America to do that.”

That attitude appears to be even more true of many in that "certain other nation" and of America's leaders, as well as of other American traitors, than of the officials in Arab countries in that region.

That "certain other nation" has never stood side by side with the US in any of its earlier foreign wars, in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq etc, even though troops from even smaller countries often did, in every war.

American patriots like Joe Kemp, a Gold Star veteran who deployed 11 times are the last thing MIGA needs.

The USA deserves this Iran war, and it deserves POTUS Trump. Kool Aid is the best thing ever. You can never have too much. As long as it leads to Americans getting injected with more mRNA and funding Israel and putting themselves and their kids and their grandkids onto the frontline as cannon fodder for Israel then I'm cool with it. Americans removing themselves from the gene pool is the best thing that could happen to the world. The more Kool Aid that Americans drink the better.

Drew Skonberg, DC—

Oh, Drew, bless your chiropractic heart—calling yourself “Dr.” while cracking backs and selling adjustments is cute, but let’s be real: in the medical world, “Dr.” usually means MD or PhD, not DC. The pretentiousness is almost endearing, like a toddler wearing daddy’s stethoscope.

Your fearmongering about Iran’s ballistic missiles “attacking Europe and then the US” is adorable—pure Cold War nostalgia with a side of neocon panic. Scant evidence? More like zero. Iran’s program is defensive, focused on deterrence against Israel and the US, not transatlantic lobbing. The idea they’d risk annihilation to hit Ohio is fantasy—straight out of the same playbook that sold us Iraq’s WMDs. But go on, clutch those pearls.

As for your nosy little “where are you from?”—I’m 100% Caucasian, genuinely White, with Prussian ancestry. My ethnicity is my nation, Drew. No hyphen, no apologies, no dual loyalties. Unlike some who seem to prioritize another country’s interests over America’s.

But let’s be clear: the only thing I’m “afraid” of is more Americans dying for foreign adventures while the real threats—open borders, fentanyl, elite corruption—get a pass. Iran’s missiles aren’t the problem; the people cheering for endless war while Americans rot are.

So keep cracking spines and peddling fear, “Dr.”—I’ll stick to facts and sovereignty. 😏

Jim Reagen's avatar

Iran did not attack California.

The US attacked Iran.

War is not the answer.

Trump has opened a huge can of worms. Iran can strike oil production in the Middle East. Iran can easily attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which is why the US Navy, the most powerful in the world, doesn't want to escort any ships through there: they'd be sitting ducks. Europe says no way we'll send ships. If the US hits Iranian oil production, Iran will reciprocate. If US hits Iranian desalination plants, Iran will reciprocate and hit Middle Eastern desalination plants of countries providing bases to US, crippling them. There is no way in hell that America/Israel can win without boots on the ground, and boots on the ground would be a protracted disaster.

Iran has everything to gain with a protracted war and it will not give in and let the US and Israel do this over and over: it wants to send a message. Trump was deceived (by the genocidal Netanyahu) that this would be quick and regime change would happen after top leaders taken out. Hasn't happened and won't happen.

Trump very badly miscalculated and there is no easy way out for him, now that Netanyahu has trapped him into war.

If Iran had indeed attacked the US first, then of course the US would be behind this and we'd want to blow it to smithereens. But as it stands now, more and more Americans are beginning to realize that we have an idiot warmonger for a president, because we do. I was for the man, but his actions prove him a fool.

There are a number of us who have been predicting "iranian drone strikes", probably originating with Israeli agents, ever since a couple of drones were stolen from a US armory, nay ever since the news broke that the US had reverse engineered and copied drones like those that would be used.

The Israelis think nothing of attacking anyone anywhere to create a pretend threat, which they will then screech is originating from the current object of their hatred. They are backseat princes of "let's make mom and dad fight".

There is a long article here about Mossad assassinations which talks about their falsehoods and it can also be listened to on soundcloud (or other platforms too I think) https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-mossad-assassinations/ It is so well sourced, it is practically a series of book reviews and relevant quotes strung together in a long article, and the author is cautious. I have dipped into a book he referenced, by a former Mossad assassin, and in truth they are crazier and more thuggishly gloatingly amoral than this author Unz reported. Anyone's human nature radar would easily see, they have no brakes.

And it's been reported by former CIA that they won't (wouldn't?) let Israeli agents into US buildings because they always try to bug the buildings and gain access to places they aren't allowed to go. They aren't our allies in any sense. They view us as meat and as material for making gain, that's all.

I also recommend Alison Weir's 'Against Our Better Judgment' which I will edit this comment to link to it (ed: here it is -- https://archive.org/details/weir-alison-against-our-better-judgment-the-hidden-history-of-how-the-u.-s.-was-_202404/mode/1up --) as substack only allows one or two focus changes to grab website URLs, before wiping the input form.

What have you been smoking?! We were absolutely goaded into this war by Israel. Rubio said it himself. Charlie Kirk warned Trump about a war with Iran. Look what they did to him for that opinion. Israel clearly has something so big on Trump that he’s committing political suicide and is risking WW3 on behalf of our “greatest ally”. For those of you so gung ho for this war, how about putting on a uniform yourself and go die for Israel. Kent has sacrificed enough. Trump campaigned on no new wars-that’s why I voted for him, three times! He has broken his promises and betrayed his base-which he is rapidly losing. It’s complete BS and propaganda that there is overwhelming support for this war. The only people that believe that are boomers and mainstream media consumers. We are completely getting our clocks cleaned and no other countries are getting on board with us to help fight Iran. The world is witnessing a clown show and the fall of the American empire.

Iraq does not have to presage Iran. It may be a tempting parallel, but it requires an explanation to sell it.

Iran may not have been an extremely imminent danger, but given the window and the regional actions preceding, it makes sense to move now. There can be made a respectable argument that has no allegiance to Israeli interests exclusively but definitely is squarely a USA interest at minimum.

His having suffered a loss from Iraq makes his position understandable. The role needs a steady hand, though.

So the rest of the world needs to be killed off as how dare they have the means to defend themselves?

I thought Trump knocked Iran's nuke program back into the stone age just a few months ago with his TOP GUN re-enactment bombing of their facility, so why this now?

Conventional ballistic missiles (and drones), that's why.

Build up a stockpile that makes you impervious (i.e., any aggressor will pay the price) and neighbors paranoid, and you will have the buffer you need to reconstitute the nukes over time.

IRGC nukes is not an existential danger to USA, but it means potential for a city or five, either genuine nuke or dirty munition (radioactive mess), which would be permanently regional.

So, danger was greater than zero, IRGC was a known bad player, and Iran and region would be better off with a knocked-down IRGC or none at all.
