Can the U.S. Afford to Annihilate Iran? /Seyed M. Marandi (Daniel Davis)

Trump's talk about annihilating Iran comes with the fact that Iran can destroy the viability of its regional neighbours including Israel. If the US tries to wipe out Iran the world economy will be in dire straits through a prolonged shortage of oil.

Russia Pounds Kyiv as US Pushes Peace Talks /Patrick Henningsen (Daniel Davis)

The key point with these recent Russian strikes is that they came after Ukraine repeatedly tried to hit Moscow and damage their energy system. How much longer can Ukraine hang on in this war of attrition? Henningsen does a good job outlining key aspects of the conflict.  Currently the US is making a LOT of money exporting energy products to Europe. A peace deal would put an end to this money making scam.

Iran Demands US Admit Defeat, 23 years Over in Iraq /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Iran was cooperative when the US invaded Iraq. They kept out of the fighting but were smeared by the Bush neocons who failed to launch a war against them back in 2007-8. Macgregor points out that privately Trump wanted to withdraw from the region during his first term, but has now been 'swayed' to follow Israeli demands. As a result the US is facing defeat at the hands of Iran where all Iran has to do is hold on to the Strait of Hormuz. 

The Iranian demands are for the US to withdraw from the region, and for the Israelis to back down in Gaza and against Lebanon.

Much of the video has Macgregor explaining the history of the wars fought by the US against Iraq and the stupid and destructive policies put out that failed to reshape the region. The conflict was mostly about serving Israeli interests since the neocons were driving the policy, and produced the WMD lies.  

If the US removes itself from the Middle East Macgregor thinks that Iran and Turkey will assert their influence over their neighbours, as they have done historically. He points out that US interventions around the world cannot solve regional problem that need to be dealt with locally.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : America’s Toxic Military Culture (Judging Freedom)

Macgregor points out that a complete military victory is the only option for Russia in Ukraine. The mainstream media and politicians have said that Russia is on its last legs and yet all of Europe allegedly needs to prepare for war. They are talking out of both sides of their mouth at once. The reality is that Ukraine has lost and suffered massive casualties.

While the US has spent trillions on its military over recent years it's now unprepared to fight a modern war against drones and ballistic missiles having failed to implement the lessons learned in the ongoing conflicts. Macgregor points out that when the economic calamity arrives much of the US Navy will be sitting in port, and that the focus should then be on domestic affairs, not international.

The key thing about the war against Iran, and the pending global economic disaster, is that it's a function of Israeli control over both President Trump and the US Congress. The Congress could put an end to it, but they won't. The Democrats only pretend to be somewhat in opposition but continue to provide enough support to allow continued fighting. There's no successful US-Israeli outcome in this situation, only a road towards disaster.

Douglas Macgregor: Israel vs Turkey and Qatar: New US War Strategy? (Glenn Diesen)

Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel, combat veteran, and former senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense.



The US is still demanding the complete capitulation of Iran, which means that a peace deal will not be possible. Iran can still destroy all land based US forces in the region through ballistic missile and drone attack. This means that the US cannot prevail in this region militarily.

The Israelis are now correctly seen by everyone as wanting to eradicate their neighbours. Countries with which they had relatively good relations must now see them as a serious threat, namely the Gulf States and Turkey.   

Macgregor further reports that the US is seriously planning an invasion of Cuba. 

Looming over all of the wars is an economic calamity brought about by a corrupt financial system that burdened the world with mountains of debt. Things are unravelling due to the rising oil price and actual fuel shortages.

Macgregor believes there will be a rebellion by the people of the West against their globalist masters as things get worse.

West Sets Trap for Putin; Lavrov Snubs Berlin; Broke Europe Eyes Russian Assets (The Duran)

Germany's foreign minister Johann Wadephul pulled Sergey Lavrov aside at the UN for a surprise 20 minute meeting, and walked away with nothing. In this episode we break down why Berlin is so desperate, how Washington and Europe are pushing for a Minsk 3 ceasefire through a Trump Putin meeting at APEC in China, and why Rishi Sunak is now demanding the EU seize Russia's frozen assets to keep Zelensky afloat.

IRGC Seize SECOND U.S. Underwater Drone, STRIKE 19 Vessels + Russia DESTROYS Starlink Data Center (Rachel Blevins)

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy confirmed the capture of a second U.S. Military REMUS 600 autonomous underwater drone carrying out reconnaissance operations in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. This, as Iran has launched strikes on a record 19 vessels trying to circumvent its control over the Strait in the last 48 hours.

Russia is also continuing its escalated strikes on Ukraine, recently destroying the Kosmonova data center, used by Starlink to attempt drone strikes inside Russia.

Bowne Report: Netanyahu Is Not Your Friend (Alex Jones)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the slaughter of innocent civilians during a speech at the UN General Assembly, blaming Hamas for Israel’s disproportionate response to the Oct. 7 terror attacks while further entangling the US in Israel’s alleged war crimes.



The clip points out that the Israelis gave HAMAS more than one billion dollars in order to stoke conflict.

Washington Corners Iran, Dares it to Strike /Lt Col Daniel Davis

Trump obviously wants a global economic calamity, and his Deep State backers seem to also want the same thing. If the disaster turns the world away from the US, and ends the globalist model, without a dictatorship being created, then the final outcome will be a good thing. In the mean time a lot of people are going to suffer and many will be killed. Israel will not come out of this well either. They are already hated globally.

BREAKING: Trump Rejects Opening Strait of Hormuz Deal w/Iran (Daniel Davis)

Trump is claiming that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz, in rejecting a peace deal, but it is Iran that controls the Strait.

US military forces in the region have had to withdraw to Jordan and Israel and their aircraft carriers have pulled back after being threatened with ballistic missile attack.

These quips are just more grandstanding from Trump, although he's implied he will use nuclear weapons on Iran after the Mid Term elections - a very serious threat.
 
The bottom line is that the US has already lost the war militarily. They are trying to cripple Iran economically, like they did with Syria, and are trying to threaten them into submission. However, Iran is a lot stronger than Syria and has support from both Russia and China.

Any continuation of the blockade is more likely to hurt the US and the rest of the world before it critically impacts Iran.

At the same time Ukraine's economy is imploding, with steel production halted for the first time in a century, Russian strikes knocking out Kiev's data centers and internet, and the EU scrambling to fast track €45 billion from its €90 billion loan while Zelensky chases a ceasefire after a meeting with CIA director John Ratcliffe that Alex Christoforou flags as the one that really mattered.

Trump Gets Greenland; Denmark Caves, Europe Humiliated (The Duran)

Trump got exactly what he wanted in Greenland, in this episode we explain why the whole annexation drama with Denmark was theater designed to humiliate Europe. With the US military now in charge of Greenland's security, annexation becomes a stroke of the pen in Washington, while Elbridge Colby and a rising Pentagon faction look toward hemispheric defense and an eventual pullback from Europe. Is that quiet fear of an American exit, not Russia, the real reason behind Europe's panic and crackdowns from Andy Burnham to Jacob Rees Mogg?

US Armed Forces Preparing For LAND INVASION Of Iran! – Col. Macgregor (Jimmy Dore)

Troop movements and other indicators suggest the Trump administration is preparing for a major expansion of U.S. military operations against Iran, including a possible ground operation. So says retired Col. Douglas Macgregor as he examines reports of deployments, weapons, aircraft, personnel and other substantial U.S. military preparations in the region, although this does not guarantee that a full-scale ground invasion has been ordered.

Jimmy discusses the logistical difficulties and risks of a ground invasion, including the size and distribution of U.S. forces, air and missile defenses, and Iran’s terrain and military capabilities. He also criticizes U.S. foreign policy and argues that the conflict could continue or escalate after the November midterm elections, while reporting indicates that U.S. officials have considered both additional military action and diplomatic negotiations.



Although forces and equipment are being prepared, this may be another expensive ruse that will end in failure (since the Iranians are not prepared to back down).

If this pending attack is real everything is being done at the behest of the Israelis. However, the war in Ukraine has shown that any ground attack in Iran will be extremely costly. It will be unworkable. Military planners must understand this reality.

One further thing to consider is that before any of this goes ahead Gulf State oil production will be destroyed, and also Israeli infrastructure - with the Russians and Chinese backing Iran. Neither the Gulf States nor Israel will be able to ship oil, or keep the power on, or keep their desalination plants working. 

The idea that the US and Israelis will simply build up enough equipment and personnel to be effective is a fantasy. The final outcome looks like it will be a disaster for both the US and Israelis, and also the world economy.

Tucker Carlson Joins Alex Jones In Calling For Trump's Cabinet To Remove Him From Office! (Alex Jones)

TuckerCarlson Joins Alex Jones In Calling For Trump's Cabinet To Immediately Remove Him From Office Via The 25th Amendment For Publicly Promoting A Nuclear 1st Strike & Other War Crimes Against Iran! In This Powerful Must-Watch/Share Report, Tucker Recounts How Trump Personally Told Him He's Not Worried About Triggering A Potentially World-Ending War Because, "In The End, We All Die Anyway!"



Tucker points out that the war is all about destroying Israel's enemies in the region, including to diminish the Gulf State countries, and to remove the US from the region  - allowing Israeli free reign, but to what end? They can't win against Iran unless nuclear weapons are used. However, on that last point, the Iranians also wants the US to withdraw from the region. 

The cold hard facts of the situation are that neither the US or Israel can defeat Iran using conventional weapons. They must therefore back down. At the same time nothing will stop the upcoming economic calamity as oil shortages bite. How things ultimately turn out is anyone's guess. The neocons think that they will come out on top despite a number of losing signals, including the fact they have lost the propaganda war. Israel may end up like South Africa, despite all of their blackmailing, extortion and bribery, while the US may eventually turn towards isolationism.

THE JIG IS UP FOR BEN SHAPIRO (Mark Dice)

Republicans are set to lose in the upcoming mid term elections thanks to the war against Iran that's jacked up fuel prices. Meanwhile apologists like Shapiro are trying to deflect away from what's really happening. The truth is that the whole world can see that the US has been led around by Israel, which reeks of corruption. And few people agree that the bombardment and killing in Gaza is justified. Right now the whole world is turning against the Israelis as they've pushed things too far and burst their own propaganda bubble.

Trump's Foreign Policy Up Against a World That Won't Bend: Patrick Henningsen (Daniel Davis)

Henningsen points out that one of the biggest shocks from Trump's anti-Iran UN speech is the lack of push back from everyone else on the world stage. The overall situation remains the same. The US needs to back down and accept Iran's terms but they simply won't because of Trump's intransigence and Israeli influence. 

However, Trump's over-the-top attitude is actually exposing the truth about US-Israeli gangsterism. Is the intention to ultimately have the US lose, and withdraw from world affairs? The resulting economic calamity, that is set to unfold, due to fuel shortages, may cause this to happen in any event. 

The video also touches on the US and Saudi Arabia using al Qaeda forces as proxies in the region, and that they are unable to use them effectively in Yemen, as opposed to their operations in Syria; and that the US is not a neutral negotiator when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Russia cannot accept anything less than the total defeat of the Ukrainian military or face further war in the near future. The big danger with the conflict in Europe is political moves to expand the fighting to directly include NATO, likely through a false flag attack.

Ukraine's STEEL Industry WIPED OUT: Russia's ECONOMIC War Will Be The END of Kiev | Mark Sleboda (Rachel Blevins)

Russian forces have continued to carry out major strikes across Ukraine, with Monday night’s edition including the use of sea-based Zircon hypersonic missiles, with targets such as a tobacco factory-turned-ammunition plant and an oil refinery in Kremenchug, and two logistics centers in Odessa.

This, as the Finanical Times reported that Ukraine has effectively lost its steel industry after Russian strikes brought production at the country’s three largest plants to a halt.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted Kiev wanted an economic war, and now it is getting one. As a result, Russia’s “economic strangulation” in Ukraine has “a much greater chance of ending this conflict sooner, rather than later.”



The clip also addresses Trump's ludicrous UN address. Sleboda points out that the lack of diesel has come from both the war against Iran and now from Russia withholding exports to support their war efforts. Real fuel pain is set to impact both the US and Europe in the coming months.

Threats Can't Hide Trump's Iran War Failure (Daniel Davis)

Originally Trump wanted to withdraw US forces from around the world and did not want to attack Iran (according to insider accounts), and now his actions, his insane overreach, is drumming up global resistance to US hegemony. The key thing to consider is that he does actually understand the consequences of what he does. He might be old, narcissistic, and bombastic, but he is not stupid. His over the top disgraceful attitude, where he is not hiding what the US-Israeli intentions truly are, is destroying the US brand. What he's doing is obviously mad and embarrassing, and this may be the entire point.  

Colonel Davis portrays what is happening as folly, but it seems unlikely. The Deep State did try to kill him, and this should never be forgot. Trump has turned around and is now giving them everything they want on steroids, acting like he does not care. At the same time he's also doing everything to enrich himself and his family, playing the insider game to the maximum extent (where he's been no angel when it comes to past financial dealings).

One would assume that when the economic crisis does strike the US will engineer a way through, as will every other country, something Trump is undoubtedly betting on. US isolationism may be baked into that cake. Hopefully, during the crisis, the globalists, in other parts of the world, will all be kicked out of office. A crisis therefore cannot come soon enough. The globalist agenda of NET ZERO, mass migration, proxy wars, and political censorship must be put to an end.
