Trump Iran War Dilemma: Escalate, Walk Away, or Concede? (The Duran)

There's talk that the US will abruptly walk away from the conflict, while signs of escalation are still evident. At the same time there's no sign of the Iranians backing down, or folding militarily, so walking away would be the only viable way to go. The escalation signs may turn out to be a bluff. Added to the overall situation is that no countries trust the US word on anything any more. When it comes to negotiating an end to the fighting, rather than coming to some mutual understanding, the US unilaterally walking away is the only option left (perhaps abandoning all their bases in the Middle East). 

However, before the US leaves the Israelis (and also Gulf State countries, according the clip) would want to see Iran crippled further, with their oil production, and desalination plants destroyed - something that risks counter attacks against all of the neighbouring countries of the region. The people in charge (neocons) are the sort that would prefer this sort of outcome than leaving the Iranians alone. While a ground operation is a suicide mission, many more airstrikes are still on the cards.

Alexander thinks more escalation is likely to happen before the end of hostilities, and this seems correct.

Col Doug Macgregor: IRAN WAR - The Myth of Air Power (Daniel Davis)

The US isn't winning the war. Iran is not collapsing militarily or politically. Meanwhile the economic impact globally is significant. Macgregor points out that there is no way to conduct successful ground operations that have been flagged in media.

The video also deals with the avoidance of war crimes, such as bombing desalination plants, or raising civilian neighbourhoods to the ground, or the shooting POWS - conversations that Macgregor and Davis had when they were in Operation Desert Storm during the 90s. They worry that the rhetoric coming from Washington is encouraging their forces to run amok. 

In any event this attack on Iran is an illegal operation. Iran posed no imminent threat to the USA and  there is no excuse for this war.

"Sadly, The Trump We All Knew & Loved No Longer Exists..." (Infowars)

Alex Jones, In A Heartfelt Message, Talks About The Way Forward Now That It's Extremely Clear That President Trump Has A Serious Cognitive Problem Or Has Been Seriously Compromised.



Trump has either forgotten who he is, or he's playing a dangerous lunatic game to drive things to various extremes - possibly to expose what's going on, but perhaps also in a gangster effort to make some sort of unrealistic Iranian deal. But whatever is happening he's making the Republicans look bad, which throws the country into the hands of globalists. Jones says that the public needs back anti globalist Republicans at every point in order to prevent the country sliding further into chaos.

However, some questions remain. If Trump is really in mental decline, why has Tulsi Gabbard not resigned, or someone like RFK jr not resigned? Are they holding out that JD Vance will replace Trump? Are they working behind the scenes as white hats? 

And if Trump is losing his mind, is it because of the mRNA shots?

The best case scenario is that the Iran war is being used as cover in a move against the Israelis and Deep State (with mass arrests to follow), while also showing the world how things are really run, and turning the Israelis into an even bigger pariah than they were previously. The worst case is that the Deep State is firmly in control of everything.

What's undeniable is that we are experiencing such a clown show, with how everything is being conducted, that it looks like it's intentional to make the public believe the country is being run by a mad man. In any of the scenarios, this clown show is what someone who is either captured against their will, or running a clever deception, might do. The other alternative is that Trump is actually losing his (no new wars) mind, and that people with him have done so too (although there are behind the scenes reports saying they are all looking for off ramps to the Iran conflict, implying a level of sanity).

You Owe Them $25 Trillion (Sargon)

Good video looking at the UN pushing for slavery reparations that ignores the history of the world; that the European slavers bought slaves from other Africans who had been enslaving each other for thousands of years, and ignores the slaving that happened from North Africa against Europe for many hundreds of years - until it was finally ended by the Royal Navy.

And what happened to the (at least) 1 million Europeans taken to North Africa? Where are the remaining populations of slaves? The answer is they pretty much all died. They were killed. The North African Arabs also killed off their sub Saharan African slaves.

Throughout the world pretty much every people engaged in slaving. Slavery has been ended for a long time now. The big problem faced by people in poor countries today Government corruption - that's aided by corporatism. If you had incorruptible people running Government, that were self sacrificing, then they could stand up against the corruption that is ripping off ordinary people. It is a fact that people in the third world often complain about the massive graft and corruption that is part of every day life. In the West, things are headed that way too. But reparations for slavery is a dumb idea. People in their own countries, via standing up to their corrupt Governments, need to get their houses in order.

Repeal, don’t expand, ASIO’s authoritarian secret police powers (Australian Citizens Party)

The Albanese government is pushing through a bill that will put Australia under a permanent police state regime.

In 2003 the law that originally gave the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) secret police powers was so controversial it took 15 months of fierce debate to pass Parliament.

The law gave ASIO coercive questioning powers to interrogate anybody, including children as young as 14, without a warrant from a judge and without the right to silence.

The government insisted such powers were absolutely necessary in the life-or-death situation of ASIO needing information to avert a mass casualty terrorist attack.

The Labor Opposition leader Simon Crean called it a “police state”; a young Anthony Albanese gave one of the strongest speeches against the law, likening it to Nazi Germany.

The Labor Party only let it pass the Senate eventually when the Howard government agreed to put a sunset clause on the powers to make them temporary.

Now, it’s the Albanese Labor government which is legislating to expand the scope of ASIO’s interrogation powers from terrorism to include everything ASIO does, most of which is not of life-or-death urgency.

And the government’s bill, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill No. 2 2025, will repeal the sunset clause, so that these secret police powers are permanent—Australia will have an authoritarian police state regime permanently.

Please watch the video, sign the petition, and help the fight to free Australia from police state rule.

IRAN STRIKES HAIFA OIL REFINERY, THREATENS TO SET INVADING TROOPS ON FIRE AS U.S. EYES KHARG ISLAND (Rachel Blevins)

It's Monday morning, which means President Trump is right back to insisting that the U.S. and Iran are on the verge of a deal, even as Tehran says the talks he references are "imaginary," and the U.S. continues to move troops to the region for a potential ground invasion.

Trump is now openly threatening Iran's Kharg Island, as reports speculate on how the U.S. will attempt to invade, and whether we could see a Special Operation aimed at "seizing 1,000 pounds of uranium" from inside Iran. Yes, really.

This, as Iran's strategic response continues, with the 87th wave of Operation True Promise 4 and strikes on Israel's Haifa oil refinery... a reminder of what Iran has the capability to do if Trump decides to go forward with his plan to just "take the oil."

Israel AD Fails 80% Iran Missiles Hit Target; China: US Bombing Must Stop; UK Says Iran Moscow Proxy (Alexander Mercouris)

The attack on Iran seems like a road to ruin. Either Trump has been railroaded into playing a Middle East endgame, where the war will ramp up further, and is bound to fail (with Russia and China supporting Iran) or this conflict is being used for other purposes. What if the purpose is to cause a global economic disaster and to cause great splits when it comes to diplomatic relations? If this is the case, the US does not have to invade, only drag things out for a long time. This means what's happening will not be over, unless the US backs out. Presently Iran is refusing any deals, which are likely to be intentionally onerous ones. 

One possible off ramp to everything, assuming things at face value, as opposed to there being ulterior motives for the war, is if the Iranians were to make a deal to shut down all their nuclear research, but keep their ballistic missile arsenal. Would the US-Israelis agree to that? As it stands, things are set to get a lot worse in any event - debilitating attacks on oil and desalination infrastructure have yet to happen.

IRAN DESTROYS CRUCIAL E-3 SENTRY SPY PLANE, REFUELING TANKERS IN MAJOR ATTACK ON SAUDI AIR BASE (Rachel Blevins)

The Pentagon is reeling, after Iran destroyed a crucial $270 Million E-3 Sentry spy plane—of which, the U.S. Air Force has just 16 left—in an attack on an air base in Saudi Arabia, that also took out multiple refueling tankers.

Not only are the E-3’s not in production anymore, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the closest replacement, a Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, would cost $700 Million to produce and the program is “years behind schedule.”

Reports say the Trump Admin is planning for “weeks of ground operations” in Iran, but at the rate they’re going… Washington is looking at more embarrassment and more American soldiers coming home in body bags.

This, as Israel continues to commit horrific war crimes in Lebanon, targeting and murdering three Lebanese journalists in a car… and then proceeding to strike and murder the nine paramedics who rushed to their aid.

How Academia Abandoned Evidence for Ideology | Melanie Philips (John Anderson)

In this historical clip, Melanie Phillips exposes how Western academia abandoned objective truth for comforting ideological illusions.

Melanie Phillips is a British public commentator with a distinguished career in journalism. She began her professional journey writing for The Guardian and New Statesman and currently contributes to The Times, The Jerusalem Post, and The Jewish Chronicle, focusing on political and social issues. Phillips has also appeared as a panelist on BBC Radio 4’s The Moral Maze and BBC One’s Question Time. In recognition of her journalistic contributions, she was awarded the Orwell Prize for Journalism in 1996 while writing for The Observer. Her other published works include the memoir Guardian Angel: My Story, My Britain.



What she's pointing out is critical to understanding how many people have been conditioned to think, where individuals are allowed to have 'their truth' that supersedes objective reality. You can certainly have a differing opinion on an issue, but, if this flies in the face of objective evidence your opinion is mistaken. Added to this ideological position taking, where contrary evidence is dismissed, the people trying to make an argument against a prevailing idea are also seen as evil. So rather than a pursuit of truth we have the politicisation of information. In today's world large sections of academia, and society, have taken up this faulty idea - where blunt observation making has been heavily frowned upon.

One should further consider that a key aspect to this problem is that many people have been swept up by whatever authority says you should believe, where you are told to cast aside your own critical/rational thinking skills. You are told not to question once there is a consensus and where appeals to emotion are used to mentally stifle dissent. The authorities will tell you, for the good of society, to believe in whatever they're pushing, and if you try to use evidence-based counter arguments, you're labelled a bigot, or dangerous. This is the insane world we have been living in for the last ten years and it must end.

Houthis Join War; Strike Israel; Medvedev Warns Big Nuclear Risks; Massive Russian Donbass Buildup (Alexander Mercouris)

The war is pushing both Iran, the Gulf State countries, and Turkey to arm themselves with nuclear weapons that can come from Pakistan and/or North Korea. US security guarantees have failed. By attacking Iran the regional situation has become worse. What will the Israelis do if other countries in the region declare they have nuclear weapons - and what will the US do to help them?

The underlying situation in Israel, and the Arab countries, is that many/most of the inhabitants would prefer if the other side was wiped out. Two possible endgames to this situation are that one side does indeed wipe out the other, OR a hard political option is agreed upon where everyone stays within their own borders, that will be redrawn, and that no further attacks of any sort are made, and that a move towards a more secular society, for all people, is taken. The key thing is to have people living in their own viable areas. In this case both the Israelis and Islamists need to make a lot of concessions territorially, and ideologically. Both their religions instruct their followers to treat outsiders as less than equal. Without massive ideological reform, and political-territorial changes, the final outcome will be more genocide.

We finally know what happened..(Asmongold)

Asmongold Clips / Asmongold Reacts To: JD Vance tense call with Benjamin Netanyahu as he rips Israel's PM for selling 'easy' Iran war to President Trump



Is it true that Vance has acted in this way or is this rift simply propaganda? What's likely true is that many in the Administration were probably sold on the idea that attacking Iran would be a short term operation and this 'revelation' is one way of airing that to the public. 

It's worth looking at Asmongold clips from time to time as a way to judge the views of many right leaning Americans who think that attacking Iran in the first place was justified (or that they didn't have a problem that this happened).

Whitney Webb: What They’re NOT Telling You About Joe Kent! (Jimmy Dore)

Whitney Webb joins Jimmy to explain her deep skepticism of Joe Kent, the former CIA counterterrorism official who resigned over the Iran war, warning that he may be part of a long-game psy-op to create a "domestic terrorist" profile that the national security state can later target. She connects this sentiment to the first Trump administration's DHS hearings where officials explicitly defined anti-Semitic right-leaning populists as the emerging domestic terror threat—a classification that could now be triggered by conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

Webb argues that the same infrastructure built for the War on Terror abroad is now being turned inward, and that figures like Kent may be engineered to "signal boost" anti-Zionist sentiment to create a category of Americans the government can later round up as subversives. She urges critical thinking and vigilance, noting that the "MAGA civil war" may be deliberately orchestrated to provide pretext for domestic surveillance expansion.



While the Deep State might want to push the idea of right leaning threats - even using moles like possibly Joe Kent - this agenda may actually fail. Very few people buy into this idea. People like Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Jimmy Dore, and others would end up being targeted for arrest, which simply will not fly with the majority of the country. 

However, Webb's criticism of Kent as being backed by neocons in the recent past, and to not trust any 'former' intelligence people, is valid.

Whatever one thinks of neo colonial interventions there is a real danger posed by Islamist groups throughout the world. In this case rebel Islamist attacks occurred into Southern Mali because the Government refused to institute Sharia Law into their Constitution. Note: This conflict occurred before the rise of drone warfare, something that has put a huge dent in the operational effectiveness of Western ground forces (dramatically raising casualty rates).

Why Key Independent Media Figures STILL DENY Epstein Story! w/ Whitney Webb (Jimmy Dore)

Whitney Webb joins Jimmy to expose the seemingly coordinated campaign by certain journalists and publications—notably Compact Magazine, funded by Peter Thiel and the Soros family—to dismiss the Epstein scandal as "nothing to see" and claim he had no intelligence ties, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Webb highlights that these same outlets, which once pushed Russiagate and other establishment narratives, are now acting as defense attorneys for Epstein while refusing to demand the release of the 98% of Epstein files still held by the government.

She connects the dots to powerful oligarchs like Thiel (who lied about his Epstein relationship) and Elon Musk (who was embarrassed by the files), noting that the sudden about-face from prominent journalists tracks with the interests of their billionaire benefactors. Webb argues that Epstein operated as a middle manager for a transnational oligarchic network that has been building a "trans-ideological corporation" to govern the world since the 1970s—a system where intelligence agencies work for the oligarchs, not the other way around.
