Odd that you don't mention the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel - funded by Iran. And yes - Iran does attack other states as well. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Palestine Islamic Jihad in Gaza/West Bank, and the Houthi movement in Yemen. All funded by Iran. And they killed thousands if not 10's of thousands of their own people simply to silence them. And they drone attacked 9 of their neighboring states. But I suppose drones are OK. After all - the righteous Iranian regime can do no wrong. No attempt at a balanced analysis. No mention that 60% enriched uranium is weeks from being a bomb. This is just an I hate Trump substack now. You should rename it.

Oct 7 was funded and allowed by Israel for obvious purposes

Chris's avatar

Explain then, all the Imams and their followers cheering it all on. It was not a false flag. And even if it was - Muslims across the world rejoiced - which tells me all I need to know.

freelearner's avatar

Israel stood down for hours, then attacked their own people and incinerated them from helicopters. But by the way, are you rejoicing at US bombings of Iran?

Chris's avatar

I am not sure how you explain the hostages then... But my main point is the vast majority of writers only tell half the story. It would be good for once to hear someone to write about both sides. But perhaps you have a secret desire to move to Iran and marry a nine year old and want the regime intact.

freelearner's avatar

The point of the incinerations was to prevent hostages, it just wasn't fully successful. "For once" to hear someone write about both sides? Can you not see all of Western mainstream media is heavily influenced in favor of Israel?

Chris's avatar

Might have something to do with the Covenant of Hamas saying Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will

obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. Can't be sure - but I think it might be related to this.

October 7 was not a false flag. The Israelis had the evidence that something was being planned. They decided to let it happen so they could use it as an excuse to hopefully exterminate all of the 2.3 million people (subhumans according to Israel) in Gaza, half of them children, and destroy the place so that if any subhumans remained alive they would have to leave and shitrael and its depraved loonies could take it over and build more truly ugly chewish settlements and shitrael would then have free access to the Palestinian gas fields.

The other part of the plan, as we have seen, was to use the blood-drenched slaughter in Gaza to test their weapons and to also murder, rape, destroy throughout all of Occupied Palestine, what they call the West Bank. Which is exactly what is happening.

So, instead of working to stop the breakout by the Palestinian Resistance the freakraelis let it happen and chose to murder 1,149 of their own people in order to destroy Gaza and kill as many Goyim as possible.

No-one disputes that prisoners of war were taken by the Palestinian Resistance and it also seems that civilians who broke out of the Gaza concentration camp did take some civilians hostage. The Resistance fighters targeted military and police which is legitimate.

Israel invented hostage taking in Syria in the 1970's and it had been the only language Israel would speak which is why the Palestinian Resistance used it on October 7. It is also why Israel invented the Hannibal Directive of kill them all.

The civilians, and there are very few civilians in Israel since 99.9% serve in the army, children excepted, were released in good shape quickly.

At the time the Palestinian Resistance broke out of Gaza to take prisoners of war, Israel was holding 10,000 hostages in its prisons - the number is now 14,000 - most without charge or trial and hundreds of them children. Israel rapes and tortures prisoners and always has done. And the Knesset voted that rape was acceptable and now they have passed a law to exterminate prisoners. Those prisoners who did face trial did not get a fair trial but faced a rigged military court with a 99.7% conviction rate. So they remain innocent because they were never proven guilty.

One could argue Israel holds 6 million Palestinians hostage as the occupation regime although following the genocidal slaughter of the past two plus years that is closer to 5 million hostages.

Okay, think about it like this.

Let's say a Muslim State, claiming to represent every Muslim on earth, an Islamic version of Israel, had been doing what Israel has been doing for 78 years - terrorism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, rape, torture, murder, theft, destruction, targeting Jews, and particularly targeting children to terrorise parents into submission, if Jews then carried out an October 7, do you not think Jews around the world and their religious leaders would rejoice and cheer?

Of course they would.

Why the double standards?

Jim's avatar

Hamas represents a major part of the Palestinian resistance to Israeli theft of Palestinian land, water, housing, and life itself. Hezbollah formed to resist the Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon. And it is Israel, not Iran, that refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty, that never permitted inspection of its nuclear facilities, and that actually possesses a vast nuclear arsenal, along with the air force, rockets, and submarines to deliver them. Oh yeah: ALL OF THAT IS FUNDED BY THE UNITED STATES. It's long past time for you to throw away your perpetual victimhood card. It's no longer valid here.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Odd that you do not mention that if the Palestinian Resistance, of which Hamas is one of a dozen factions, are terrorists then so were the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and the French and Polish Resistance and so were we for fighting on their side against German Occupation in WWII.

Can you spell hypocrite. Hamas exists because Israel occupies all of Palestine with bestial savagery and sadistic cruelty and denies the native people of the land it has stolen all civil and human rights.

Hezbollah exists because Sickrael keeps invading Lebanon, bombing, destroying, murdering, raping, torturing and still occupies Shebaa Farms.

Iran funds Resistance groups who legally fight for justice and freedom under international law.

The US funds the terrorist State of Israel which illegally fights to occupy, colonise and tear other countries part.

And no, the iranians did not kill thousands of their own people. Even the idiot USRAELIS admitted that Mossad and the CIA were on the ground and they were the ones murdering soldiers, police and civilians. When the Iranian Government shut down Starlink and crippled the saboteurs the killing stopped and they could be tracked and arrested.

And NO, the Iranians did not attack their neighbours, they attacked US military bases which were being used to wage an illegal war against Iran. FFS read the history of WWII. We attacked military bases in other countries. What a friggin hypocrite. The Iranians had every right to destroy US bases and punish those who allied with the terrorist Ameraelis to destroy Iran.

As to Iran having the capacity for a nuclear bomb, they should have done it long ago. The idiot Ameraelis taught the lesson - no nuclear bomb and we destroy you but if you have a nuclear bomb we leave you alone. Think Iraq and North Korea if you find that one hard.

Iran has attacked no-one for 250 years and the Americans have done nothing but wage war since they invented themselves. Ditto for Sickrael, conceived, founded and has functioned in terrorist violence, war, hate, rage, destruction, rape, torture, murder for a century.

Chris's avatar

Iranian state media and the Martyrs Foundation stated that the 3,117 deaths included 2,427 civilians and security forces, while the remainder were described by the government as "terrorists" or "rioters". Just saying.. The Iranian government actually says they killed people. And have sunk civilian vessels in the last few weeks. Just saying...

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Iranian State media has said that most of the dead, 3,117 were killed by the CIA/Mossad saboteurs and most of them were soldiers and police. But they also attacked civilians.

The Iranians have sunk vessels working for the USRAELIS which is exactly what we did in WWII. Why the double standards?

how can Iran fund Hamas? Israel controls the borders and imports and exports. so even the “Hamas used billions to build their tunnels instead of investing in their people" argument falls flat. which company did Hamas pay billions of Israel controlled money to? Elon musks the boring company?

Absolutely true. The tunnels and the rockets all assembled themselves in fairy land.

The Palestinians did not attack Izrael.

Hamas, Houthis, Al Queda, etc are City of London operated covert black ops disguised as terrorists to instigate war.

Remember, no planes hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.

As much as you try to muster your skills in sophistry, casuistry, and obfuscation, your circumlocution against ISRAEL is a testimony to who is your master.

That's complete bullshit on your part. John is a patriot who loves the U.S above any other country and he is your intellectual and moral superior.

Paul Kirshman's avatar

He is supporting ISLAM which wants to destroy the United States and elsewhere claims to be a servant of the Hebrew Anointed. He is the voice of counterfeit ‘Christianity’ and their slime ball popes and European royalty.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

No, he's not supporting Islam. He's supporting the Aryan people of Iran. The name Iran literally means “land of the Aryans” (from arya meaning noble/Indo-Ira). He's not supporting them because they are Aryan but he also doesn't hate them because they are . I don’t know if he is a philosemite but not being a philosemite or not being a Zionist does not make someone an antisemite. Not even the Mullahs are antisemitic. Judaism is a protected minority religion under the Iranian constitution. If Israel relinquished its nuclear weapons and joined a Middle Easten nuclear non-proliferation pact it would probably remove some of the hostility to it in the region.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

What a load of bullshit. Even if the entire Islamic world united tomorrow they would not have the economic or military power to destroy the US or take over the world.

And if we look at history, facts, actions it is very clear the demonic terrorists are Christians and Jews, not Muslims.

USRAEL has murdered millions of Muslims, maimed tens of millions and turned countless millions into refugees in the past half century. Muslims are benign by comparison.

Americans are doing an excellent job of destroying themselves, as is the West and Muslims have played no part in it.

Jim's avatar

WTF? What has John said here that is not rooted in fact? It is no "circumlocution" to state that Israel, along with the United States, is engaged in a war of aggression against Iran. Those responsible for this war (Trump, Hegseth, Netanyahu, Ben-Givr, Smotrich, the whole lot of 'em, including now the court jester Mark Levin) deserve the fate meted out to the guilty at the Nuremberg Trials. If you disagree with that, drop your pretentious appeal to the thesaurus, and speak plain English.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

How can any sane adult NOT be against Israel? I mean, if the gift in the curse of the genocide Israel has inflicted on Occupied Palestine since October 7 is that the world now knows the truth of Israel as a terrorist rogue State and how it was conceived, founded and has functioned in sadistic cruelty, bestial savagery and evil supremacism, the question is, who or what is the evil master of those who try to defend Israel.

And much of the information has come from the mouths of Israelis and their supporters themselves. They friggin film themselves laughing, gloating, boasting about starving children, murdering babies, destroying everything and their Government has even said rape is fine for Goyim, including anal rape using gun barrels, broom handles and metal fucking rods.

The State, society and culture are depraved, debased, psychopathic, psychotic and narcissistic. And we know that from actions not just words.

He's also dumber than a box of rocks if he does not know the ideology of the 12vers. - to bring chaos to the world which will usher the return of the 13th imam with Jesus who converts the world to Islam. This is who is running Iran. There is no peaceful coexistence with that belief system.

John, thank you and I agree that using nuclear weapons in Iran would be a disastrous and morally reprehensible move for the US. Please bear in mind that the historical record shows there was no military or strategic necessity at all for the US to drop the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese were already prepared to capitulate at that point. It's a fabricated myth that a million US soldiers' lives were saved. Truman confidante James F. Byrnes maneuvered and manlpulated the decision making to this fateful turning point. More on that here: https://www.transcend.org/tms/2025/08/80-years-after-hiroshima-high-time-for-a-fresh-start/

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Surely dropping a nuclear bomb requires more than the actions of a President? Surely Americans have in place a system where lunatics cannot have their way and any action is considered and careful??????

Oh dear! President Trump swore at crazy mullahs. How unbecoming. I’m shocked. Deeply shocked.

It seems that John Leake is of the belief that wars should be settled these days by pistols at 20 paces, swords ( en guard) or down and dirty hand to combat. You know, blood spatter at close quarters. At least chargers and rattly armour. Eliminate the artillery, eliminate the aerial bombing, eliminate the missiles ( tell that to the mad mullahs).

Well, of course the very reason not to put ‘boots on the ground’ ( if possible) is to avoid mass casualties on your side. And to avoid your foot soldiers following in their commander in chief’s verbal shoes and swearing at their enemy face to face. No, this war won’t go nuclear. But it also won’t go en masse ‘hand to hand’ combat.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

John is of the view that illegal, immoral and unnecessary wars should not be waged. John is of the view that imbeciles use war as a problem solving mechanism even if the problem is only their own desire for power and money.

The US and shitrael are the terrorist aggressors here and the Iranians are the victims and most of the world holds that view.

The friggin US has no right to put its blood-drenched boots on the ground anywhere and neither does sickrael.

And what mad mullahs? The grownups in the room are the Iranians. The sane ones are the Iranians. The victims are the Iranians. The Government of Iran is none of your fucking business. Hell, if not liking a Government is a reason to invade and murder then most countries on earth would be taking out the American regime and everyone wants to totally eliminate the Israeli regime.

Iran has attacked no-one for 250 years. The Americans and shitraelis have waged wars since they invented themselves.

Death to America is not what will bring any ease to people coming from a nuclear armed nation that forms proxies to do its bidding. I don’t think President Trump will go nuclear, even though he did use a curse word online.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

God the ignorance, the ignorance the ignorance. Sigh.

Okay, why do you think iranians chant death to America? Do you know anything?

In 1953 the US and UK threw out the democratically elected Iranian President who wanted to nationalise oil and use it to benefit his people. God, how fucking radical is that?

They then put the stooge Shah in place, who, with his sadistic secret police, launched a reign of terror over Iran for three decades. The Islamic Revolution threw them out and Iran became a theocracy.

The PIA - pissed off Americans, then put sanctions in place to cripple Iran and its people. American sanctions have been responsible for the deaths of millions, mostly babies and children, in the last half century. They hoped to destroy the Government. It did not work but Iranians certainly suffered.

And now the Ameraeli bastards are bombing schools, hospitals, homes, universities, utilities and targeting civilians and children in particular.

Tell me, if someone did that to your fucking country would you be screaming DEATH to them. Of course you bloody would.

Michelle Dostie's avatar

Yes, I know the history of America and Iran so don’t fret. The phrases from their mouths have a clear indication to me, but a different one to you. Fair enough.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

The phrases from their mouths indicate only one thing - THEY HATE FUCKING AMERICANS BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO TO THEM. Why would they not?

I would hate fucking Americans if they did that to my country and you would hate anyone who did it to yours.

They have every right to hate you for such unprovoked aggression and sadistic cruelty. Sane people hate cruel, evil, sadistic people. That is a normal response.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Don't get me wrong because I like POTUS Trump. Anyone who despises G.W. Bush and John McCain has redeeming features in my book. But let's face facts. As Dr. Bandy X Lee and thousands of other psychiatrists like her have concluded, POTUS Trump appears to be a textbook psychopath and malignant narcissist. However, so were most of his predecessors and so are a lot of senators. An Oxford University study in 2016 found that POTUS Trump has more psychopathic characteristics than Adolf Hitler. It also found that Hillary appeared to be a psychopath too. POTUS Trump has a lot in common with former Ugandan leader Idi Amin. He may not use a nuke on Iran but psychopaths usually escalate. There is a greater than even chance that he will use a nuke.

Nuclear ☢️ War is going to be the complete demise of Humanity & a catastrophic destruction of all life as well as the destruction our own planet. The WWII started in 1939 & ended in 1945. Hitler conquered 11 counties. The USA fought on ground by the Army, on the water by our Navy and in the air by our Air Force. After Japan dropped bombs on our submarine in Hawaii, The USA dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. The war was thus ended. President Trump knew that Barack Hussain Obama (a Muslim-traitor to America) had given Iran two billion dollars in unmarked bills to fund Nuclear Weapons.

The Ayatollah Khomeini had vowed “Death to America” for years but had chanted “Death to President Trump” and had placed a bounty on Donald Trump’s life. Donald Trump does not want war! He realized that if a Radical Islamic Dictator who believes that he will go to heaven if he kills all infidels or nonbelievers, the Ayatollah would not hesitate to destroy the world by detonating nuclear weapons.

I am 💯% behind President Trump in destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons and taking control over the Strait of Hormuz to cripple Iran’s economy, nuclear arsenal & military. We have the capability of destroying Iran’s control over oil transportation by controlling the supply chain via the Strait of Hormuz. We don’t need a WWIII.

Actually the US does not have the capability to take over the Straits of Hormuz or control Iranian oil and Iran has no nuclear weapons and even the CIA said a year ago they did not so that is just piffle. The Straits are in Iranian territorial waters and cannot be controlled by the US. Iran is the size of Western Europe with 92 million people and a military defence system buried under granite mountains which cannot be touched, and you think the US with a standing army of 450,000 has a fighting chance? Perhaps drop the meds a bit.

As to crippling the economy, shit, US sanctions have been doing that for decades.

Pray, tell me, if you support such aggression so you apply that as a universal principle?

I mean if someone wants to destroy US nuclear weapons and take control of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Pacific and Atlantic borders, and the Mexican and Canadian Borders and can cripple the US economy and military then as a matter of principle you would see that as acceptable??????????

Anyone who thinks Trump's war is about terrorists, Islam, ISIS, etc., needs to hurry up and take the red pill.

All wars are Bankers' wars.

Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria (killing innocent women, children and civilians).

Do you know what those countries all have in common?

They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.

Trump and Bibi's war to steal Iran's oil is costing the American people $1BILLION dollars a day. How long can we last?

Viet Nam cost the American people $1.3TRILLION dollars and one hundred thousand dead American soldiers and vets.

And who profits?

City of London, Rottchild.

Take the red pill.
