Max Blumenthal: 'Iran Deal' Divides the U.S. & Triggers Panic in Israel (Glenn Diesen)

Max Blumenthal discusses how the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran is impacting American politics and creating shocks throughout Israel. Blumenthal is the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza.



Blumenthal points out that the US is facing both military and economic defeat, and the spin now is to hide that fact as they go through the motions of the MOU. The Israelis are still hell bent on continuing the war, most notably through fighting in Lebanon, with questions over whether they might launch false flag attacks in the West to generate renewed support. In terms of future US politics, a new America First party now seems possible under Tucker Carlson, or at least inspired by him. The big issue on that front is that the major US political parties are being controlled by the Israelis, not to mention the fact they're strongly influenced by other lobby groups.
