One of the reliable bits of news that has emerged from the Iran crisis is that at some point, the Trump team radically changed the terms of the deal. Initially, they were willing to do the deal Iran signed with Obama, with some minor changes. The main change was to remove the time limit on its enforcement. Otherwise, Iran was close to agreeing to a deal with the Trump administration. Then out of the blue the Trump team made new demands and soon after we get the Israel sneak attack.
If you listen to what Trump says, he is all over the map, but the one thing he has been repeating recently is the demand that Iran give up all nuclear technology, even for medical uses, and abandon its missile program. This has been joined by a new demand for unconditional surrender. What he means by that last bit is a bit hazy as countries tend not to surrender when they are holding their own. They never surrender to a country that they are not currently fighting.
That is another consistent theme with the Trump people. They keep slipping up when they talk about the war. Instead of “they”, as in Israel or Israel and Iran, Trump people will say “we”, as in Israel and the United States. Then they will correct themselves or use some weasel words. Ted Cruz made this blunder when talking with Tucker Carlson and has been squirming ever since. This hints at the fact the Israel sneak attack was part of a larger strategy by the White House.
The question no one asks is why the administration would want a war with Iran when it brings so many risks. The closest we get is the chanting of the line, “Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” Even if you accept that moral assertion, Iran was ready to sign over its nukes. The deal they were willing to sign was by all accounts a comprehensive agreement. Even if the negotiations were a ruse, to setup the sneak attack, why would Trump want this?
The most popular answer floating around is they did not want a war. They thought this Peal Harbor style sneak attack would work and by work it would cause the regime to collapse or immediately sue for peace. The Japanese thought the same thing, supposedly, so it makes some sense. Now that Iran is firing missiles at Israel, with no signs of letting up, the White House has a problem. They either go up the escalatory ladder or risk looking weak by taking a deal.
That is possible, but there is another possibility. When it comes to foreign policy, Trump has had one obsession and that is China. When he came down the escalator ten years ago, he was talking about China ripping us off. People forget that this was going to be his main issue until he stumbled upon immigration. When his comments about immigration caught fire, he became a hawk on immigration, but China was always right there at the top of his agenda.
Some say he has an Israel obsession, which is true. He seems to worship Jewish people, a common folk religion in Washington. In his first term, however, he delivered nothing of value to Israel. He was adamant about staying out of new wars in the Middle East and even wanted to close the bases in Syria and Iraq. Starting a war now, less than six months into his do-over term, makes no sense. The country is against war and his base will revolt if he goes to war.
Of course, if he signs off on an attack and Iran crumbles, then he looks like a genius to the average American who is incapable of thinking about what comes next. They will flip back to watching sports while muttering about how Trump wins again. Like it or not, that is how things work in American politics. On the other hand, if he signs off on a strike and it results in more escalation, he risks becoming George Bush. He would be worse than Bush, as people actually trusted Trump.
This raises another angle to this. China is deeply involved with Iran. They have signed a half trillion-dollar investment deal with Iran. They own 80% of the South Pars gas field, part of the biggest gas deposit on earth. They have just completed a railway that links China to Iran. Trains from Xi’an, the capital of the Chinese province of Shaanxi, started arriving at the Aprin Dry Port near Tehran in late May. All industrial and military goods will now go from China to Iran, bypassing the US navy.
The immediate effect of this is it allows Iran to reach the global economy without having to navigate around the American blockade. This allows Iran to get around the sanctions regime that is central to American policy. It would also make Iran a key cross dock for trade between the region and Asia. Of course, the big effect is it makes BRICS a big player in the region, challenging American hegemony. China, Russia, and India can now easily do business with the region.
That may be the reason for the change in approach by the White House. That railroad begins operation and all of a sudden, they change the terms of the deal to something they know Iran can never accept. This is, ironically enough, the same scheme the Biden people used to induce a war in Ukraine. Notice that the West is still demanding Russia surrender as part of their “negotiations.” The best way to get and keep a war is to demand unconditional surrender.
Another thing that supports this theory is that Trump is a transactional guy who thinks about everything in terms of money. He would understand right away the economic aspects of this China – Iran relationship. It is a threat to American control of the energy markets, something that Trump understands well. He looks at BRICS as part of China’s plan to supplant the United States as the global economic hegemon. A war with Iran, therefore, would appeal to him.
There is also the fact that Trump seems to think he can peel countries away from China in order to isolate her. He has flat out said this regarding Russia. He has convinced himself that he will talk Putin into abandoning China in exchange for some empty words from Trump and maybe a White House visit. He probably thinks he can pry Iran lose from China as well, either by force or by threats. It worked with Panama, so he could think the same trick will work with Iran.
In the end, this looming war with Iran looks more like the start of a war with China, rather than just a war for Israel. The Israelis are getting clobbered with missile strikes, so if Trump were acting out of love for Israel, he would not be escalating with Iran, threatening a new war in the region. No doubt Israel is happy to participate for cynical reasons, but the real driver is probably the China issue. It has been his obsession since he came down the escalator and remains so now.

On this side of the aisle there are many who think these people see the entire chessboard 500 steps ahead. But it seems like Israel has the same blind spots we do, if not worse. Iran fixed their air defense within hours and brought in new military guys to replace the ones that Israel killed, and it’s like Israel and the US have no idea what to do next except ratchet it up. Iran has no reason to surrender after a decapitation strike that didn’t decapitate it. The fact that they are out today claiming that Iran committed a war… Read more »
Won’t China be happy to aid Iran because they source 30% of their oil from Iran?
Doesn’t Japan also source a ton of oil from Iran? They can’t be happy about the current situation.
Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India brokering the sanctioned oil…all the East depends heavily on that oil.
That would be one of the aims of the war. Destroying Japan is near the top of America’s to-do list, since so many view them admiringly, as a lone Western (Western enough) holdout against globohomo. Currently we’re destroying them the traditional way, by teaching them to hate white people (“tourists”) and flooding them with Nigerians and Indians. It’s not happening fast enough. They’re still incredibly civilized, compared to the rest of us. So, shut off the boats (except the ones full of Nigerians and Indians).
Does anyone know anything about this discovery of a “Thorium” deposit in China, which can provide thousands [???] of years of nukular energy?
“The fact that they are out today claiming that Iran committed a war crime by doing the same things they did in Gaza hundreds of times tells me that they’re kind of out of ideas here.”
This was absolutely breathtaking! The chutzpah of these people. They are calling it a war crime!
if you don’t want to call it war crime, call it G-d’s miracle: the wing of the hospital that suffered a direct hit was completely evacuated yesterday
Wouldn’t Surprise me if that were true. That happened to wtc 7
There’s a post on X claiming that part of the hospital had been taken over by the military (complete with photos of soldiers in the hospital). Others say the hospital was treating military patients. In any case, the IDF didn’t hesitate to obliterate hospitals in Gaza, on the pretext that Hamas had HQ buried under them. It’s difficult to get too weepy over it.
36 hospitals so far
So they had some advanced knowledge of this hit? Interesting.
Anna, stop. Just stop. There are no “war” crimes. There is just war. When nations face off in hot battle, terrible things happen. The “hospital” meme has been worked to death since 1914. Personally, I would love it if wars could be fought without any one getting hurt. For instance, “our” greatest victory in the Cold War happened when Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky for the world chess title in 1972.* Or when the US hockey team took down the “Soviet Menace” at Lake Placid in 1980. Seriously, these were major events in the Cold War. Ah, the innocence of… Read more »

Someone in the US military didn’t get the memo that you cannot criticize those who rule over you. Now I have no love for the Palestinians, either (don’t trust people who won’t eat bacon), but Israel apparently just happened to ‘find’ this account on twitter/X and doxed the guy. Note that I also don’t trust the US military (yeah, yeah, Trump is getting rid of the trannies – but not the homos, lesbians, mestizos, womyn, etc.), and the guy should have better hidden his identity, but this is still highly educational.

I support my tribe. My tribe is the indigenous Christians of the Holy Land. They support the Palestinians, so that’s good enough for me.
My ‘tribe’ is White Europeans who created Western Civilization. The Palestinians had/have no part of that. And as a Christian, I do not consider the Middle East a “holy land.” Jesus is holy, not the dirt he happened to trod on while in human form.
That’s fair, but if you had to pick between the two, I’m picking what’s in the best interest of Christians, or at least what they think is in their best interests.
Western Civilization was created by then Catholic Church and many Palestinian Christians are Catholics (or Orthodox, our slightly separated brethren).
Did anybody really think that trying to solve Europe jewish problem by vomiting it onto the people of Palestine was a good idea?
You’ll need to ask the WASPs who supported the idea for decades.
No idea what you’re talking about but I do not support the Palestinians, to say the very least, nor is there any mandate for such for ‘Christians of the Holy Land’ whatever you imagine that to be.
I can’t wait for the China world order. It can’t be worse than the genocidal, anti-White, jewish world order we have now.
Too bad Chinese demographic situation sucks.
So we change a big-nose market-dominant minority for a squinty-eyed market-dominant nonwhite race? This gweilo has dealt with enough han for 100 lifetimes.
We are obviously not capable to free ourselves from the special people’s subjugation at this time. With China, we would have time to regroup and attempt a comeback.
I wish they’d both go to hell, personally. Jewish dog-wagging is bad enough; I’m in no hurry to experience the joys of living on a CCP-dominated planet as well.
Superficially, the Chinese seem more like the Victorian Jews who sold us chalked milk and sawdust bread than like the sadistic zookeeper Jews we have today. The Anglosphere longs for retvrn.
(Apple appears to have removed “Anglosphere” from its automatic spell check since last time I typed it. Neat.)
Of course the Jews back then were incredibly sadistic toward their own people, like the Chinese are now. “Pogroms” were often rescues of ghetto Jews from rabbinical tyranny (because it violated royal sovereignty).
But never mind. There are no lessons in the past. Only fresh air.
I’m sure the Chinese will eventually use their bio-engineering skills to produce a clone army like in the Star Wars movie. They must be close to having an artificial womb by now. It’ll make their sex ratio problem worse but that’s what the sexbots are for isn’t it? Meanwhile the globohomo countries use the same technology to turn their populations into a mass of womyn and trannies.
How do you clean the vagina of a sexbot?
Ammonia?
Clorox?
Hydrogen Peroxide?
Why not just masturbate?
Bloody hell…
The chessboard is not that complicated. You always want to retain the edge over your potential enemy. When he appears to be queening a pawn, you want to intercept him before that happens. In Israel’s case, Iran appears to be enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels and tools exist to build a proto-bomb. Israel, beset by fears that it won’t be the only nuke kid in the neighborhood anymore, doesn’t like that, obviously. As the tension ratchets up, the right-wing government in Jerusalem takes it upon itself to advance to the next step: knock all Iran’s pieces off the board with… Read more »

She’s not even that pretty, maybe a 5 or 6 and perhaps a 7 20 years ago……. like i’ve said to many people, pretty girls are a dime a dozen.
My theory is that pretty girls are lacking in other areas, so they overcompensate by trying to make themselves look pretty.
PJ O’ Rourke used to say that the sign of a social movement on the way to success is the number of pretty girls it attracts. Sorry, Dems!
Yeah, that’s funny and it is also false. Women’s suffrage and Prohibition were “successful social movements” and were spear-headed by stone-hearted lesbians. Take a look – if you dare – at the faces of Carrie Nation, Susan B. Anthony, and the rest of them. Miserable people who succeeded in imposing their misery on the entire country.
It’s about what persuades fat white men with grills. And forties blond women with faded good looks do.
Fox News patented the formula.
So true. The whole “lots of leg” bait was interesting in 1995, but now just stock comedy. FOX beclowns itself with this formula, but I suppose that they know their demo is normiecons in their 70s and 80s who still dig the legs. And this is the “opposition” in the mainstream media?
I want an EMP. I haven’t stocked up on much food but I have purchased an arsenal of butane lighters. They’ll be money in the after-times.
lol EMP yeah I think I get your wavelength. There’s a lotta dross around, no joke. And Fox certainly knows its target audience well. . . I’d guess white males, moderate – conservative, 55 – 80 range. Strong Christian skew. The blondies are the women they can still dream about pulling. Most men live all their adult lives with dreams of the landing the Big One, sexually speaking.

Sir, we grill several times a week. All meat from a local producer, on a gas grill. Our stock of propane is considerable. I have never understood why being called a griller is an insult.

My best friend grills every sunday, with his family. Tho grilling is a bit different down here, no tailgating.
It’s just a useful term in warfare, amigo. Nothing personal. Not attacking eating cows etc.
If you haven’t gotten your Coleman matchlight propane stove yet, they appear to be sold out everywhere. I don’t mind cooking outside in decent weather but trying to cook a pork chop in a sandstorm/snowstorm is too much. One quart bottle of propane will provide one hour of cooking time so if you are quick and efficient you could make it last almost a week in a back room with the door closed and a window cracked open.
I grill and BBQ but plenty. Did a rack of baby backs yesterday. And I have no problem with the derisory epithet Griller. There are those of us who grill and have some understanding of political reality, but the vast majority of those who grill frequently also worship negroes and Israel and think voting harder is the ticket to success. I don’t necessarily feel raw contempt for such people, but I do find them exasperating and a bit pathetic.
You forgot the words crooked, shiftless, sneaky, untrustworthy.
Perhaps they unearthed the Ark of the Covenant beneath a tomb in Megiddo and are threatening to unleash it upon AINO if it doesn’t do Israel’s bidding.
You’d think it’s something of that magnitude
Funny how the JFK files and the Epstein files are handled in same fashion, run the clock out. Perhaps Israel knows the truth on both and uses it for blackmail?
Anything we can imagine, and then at least fifty percent, is possible. Something has DC firmly by the balls
A friend who wrote a book about a somewhat famous unsolved murder was given all “the files,” local and state and fed, bureaucratic and evidentiary and summary, enough to make a standard rental storage garage hard to walk through. He’s kind of a big shot and it’s a case nobody has any “narratives” about, so everyone was cooperative, happy to be rid of their old junk. What’s in there? Nothing but a reminder that cops don’t solve crimes. “The files” look just like the “JFK files” we’ve seen, bureaucratic effluvia with some odd trivia scattered around (some of it implicatory… Read more »
More likely, Israel is using blackmail to keep the JFK and Epstein files secret.
Maybe they cooked up something that kills everyone except Jews. Is that even possible? Or just kills everyone period.
Netanyahu framing his ‘covid jab’ in a glass case was odd. Maybe it was a threat to those in the know. Break glass in case of emergency kind of thing.
In the Bond flick SPECTRE, the whole MacGuffin was about a bioweapon that could be targeted to specific classes, including races, of people. No idea if that is scientifically possible, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I thought that was No Time to Die, which I have deeply mixed feelings about.
Ralph Fiennes’ reading of the Jack London quote at the end of that film was epic.

It’s certainly theoretically possible at this point.
You’d think the Israelis wouldn’t roll the dice on that one, just in case they really have no ethnic connection to ancient Israel. Whoops.
Extortion, essentially. They can collapse the bond market whenever they choose (thank you, central banking). Rounded out by blackmail and murder, for less severe threats.
And then there is always the Samson Option, if things get truly existential…
But surely others could bring Armageddon. If anyone, Russia could blow up the planet and Saudi Arabia could send the global economy into the abyss. My sense is that they have something unbelievable to extort individuals and a combo of sex tapes, financial records and the Mossad assassination teams be it. But it must be very big judging by its effects
I just realized nothing will kick off Jihad in Europe like Israel dicking around in an openly religious war with a major Islamic country.
Look at the reaction to Palestine. Iran is a lot bigger than Palestine is.
Update: Jeebus. Jewish NGOs moved the Replacement soldiers in…and No Kings kicked off on the same day the war started. It’s a signal, the baloon has gone up. (No Kings was actually the largest “protest” in American history, 4.6 million participants.)

Israel-Iran blow-up provides good cover for Trump to get those deportations done. “Never let a crisis go to waste”, as a former member of the IDF once remarked.
Except, being Trump, he’ll screw that up too. He’s already bailing on farm “workers”. All the good will he built up in the way he handled the LA riots has already dissipated.
Maybe the Iran war is a cover for Trump being Santa. All he had to do was shave that beard off and look how everyone fell for it.

I am counting down the minutes to ‘Iran skewers infants on the tip of bayonets’ or ‘rape’ … 3-2-1.
The propaganda aimed at a dumbed-down, illiterate mass of people is more low brow and idiotic than ever. Who needs ‘sexual images in the ice cubes’ when one can simply assure everyone ‘Brawndo’ works and get back to looting the treasury of your respective country?
The claim that Iran is a few years away from a nuke is similar. Of course, none of us can really judge that claim but they have been making it since the 90s and Tulsi disagrees with the claim today.
“…and Tulsi disagrees with the claim today.”
For what it’s worth, she stated and “the Intelligence community…”
Both sides cannot be correct. The “unconditional surrender” side has a pretty clear and longstanding agenda.
Actually since 1984.
Another 3-2-1 possibility is that Jews have threatened to murder Trump and some or all of his children, which they will then blame on the Iranians. The simple explanation makes more sense than anything else: the man is afraid. The final redpill, which moderate commentators are either too big-brained to understand or too chickenshit to admit, is that this is a fight between Good and Evil.

Give him time. Of course, Hannity’s go-to has nothing to do with nuns. Throwing sodomites off buildings and stoning “loose” women to death are his top cards, because his main concern is “owning the libs”, just as Rush was doing back when this sort of thing sounded fresh and edgy in 1993.
Since you mentioned Brawndo… The billboard “If you don’t smoke Tarelyton’s, F*CK YOU” kind of summarizes the state of debate in what we call society today. Listen to the “right wing” radio guys, or FOX, it’s like that: “If you don’t think the worst thing EVER would be Iran having nuclear weapons, F*CK YOU”. And then there is the Left: “if you don’t think the worst human being on the planet is DJT, “F*CK YOU”.
Idiocracy is set in 2525 or something like that. Should have been 2030,

Iran apparently turned down a mutual defense deal with Russia, but nevertheless, neither Russia nor China can allow a Western/Israeli takeover of Iran, and China, as Zman points out, has a huge economic stake in Iran…People like Tulsi probably understand all this, but Trump seems oblivious, and is seriously considering blowing up the whole MAGA movement with his insane warmongering…
China is right to secure cheap energy as a strategic resource.
The US is as well.
Frankly, I couldn’t give a tinker’s damn anymore about who blows up who using whatever weapons in the Levant as long as the oil flow is interrupted.
If Iran OR Israel threatens the free flow of oil, the entire civilized world should intervene with the biggest bombs that will do the job.
Ha, the ‘free flow of oil’, I haven’t heard that rationalization since Rush constantly intoning it during the Desert Storm/Iraq disasters.
Funny how that phrase goes hand-in-hand with people who simultaneously argue each nation should be able to protect and promote its natural resources, and/or piously intone ‘free trade.’ As if access to oil is an inherent, natural ‘right’ guaranteed in the magic constitution.
NOOOOOO! Not my precious marketerinos! Save Our Stocks!
I’m not so sure. Trump did a quiet diplomacy tour and seemed to get agreement from all the principals. Russia offered to take the material for processing, in return, Hegseth dropped Ukraine. China got concessions of some kind – meanwhile, they are arming Iran in order to prolong a war of attrition with Israel. The neighbors would happily weaken or eliminate a powerful competitor for a more tractable regime.

If Trump wants to isolate China or worse, then why was he salivating over Chinese students at American schools? Why does he allow Chinese ownership of American property when this is clearly a national security issue? Why does he boast about his relationship with Xi?
He cannot think systematically or strategically. Nah, scrap that last sentence. He just cannot think, period. And ironically, that’s part of his appeal to the MAGA crowd, which in large part can’t think either. Memes, slogans, trash talk — that’s the order of the day.
For far too long, and by far too many, his erraticism was mistaken for 5d chess. That really needs to die. I don’t think it quite has.
I gave up the 12d chess theory way back in the first term. Trump’s only major virtue, as far as I am concerned, is: “Probably doesn’t hate America”, unlike the other choice.
Whether he reverses it or not, he at least turned off the GR spigot. That alone makes him superior to everyone else on the ballot and worth my vote. No regrets about that.
“GR” == ?????
Great Replacement
More specifically, he probably doesn’t hate white people. And in this day and age, that’s no small thing.
Yep. Have a look – if you can stomach it – at the Q sites and Conservative Treehouse. TDS in full swing: Trump Delusion Syndrome
But does it really matter? Is Trump really in charge? We’ve been saying for quite some time that it’s the Deep State/managerial state/Power Structure that actually runs things. It’s hard for me to believe that suddenly the keys to the Ferrari were handed over to that crazed battleaxe, Donald Trump.
We can but speculate. I do think certain others are able and willing to rein him in when he goes off at the deep end.
I disagree with both of you.
What he absolutely cannot do, what we were conditioned not to do at all costs, is he cannot think racially.
Imagine the trash talk – now imagine it from a fiercely White position.
And no, I don’t mean cheap swearing or insult, but like from someone who isn’t White. Jewish, black, latino, ummah, asian, thirdworld, take your pick.
Regarding the potential Fordow nuke complex strike, the rumors from DC are that it’s going to happen like Luke blowing up the Death Star – i.e. dropping a bomb down a vent shaft.After being owned by Tucker, Ted Cruz is also posting dumb Star Wars memes.It is difficult to imagine a less serious country than AINO.
Unless there is something unknown about our “bunker buster” bomb or Iran has not built their facilities to such avoidance, I can’t imagine success, albeit we will claim such in any event.
Maybe we can parachute John Boyega in there to f*ck up their country. After all, he hasn’t gotten much work since he went full BLM chimp-out in 2020. He can bring his “Force Awakens” character into reality, “life imitates art” and all that…

I guess the 19th century American injuns were right about bargaining with forked tongues. No more negotiations anywhere with Trump now, who can trust him?
A bullshitter who got lucky. I can’t remember which wise sage said that but it still holds true. Anyways, the entangling alliances with Iran, Russia and China scream for caution going forward because we all know where that leads.
I continue to wonder if he’d ever have been president if the Ds had stuck to nominating men
They overreached, and too soon, for the Glorious Gynarchy. Hillie got greedy and wanted it all, if she’d waited they’d already be in the WH.
Trump is blessed with horrible enemies.
The Dems to wo/man are on X bemoaning the the fact that the Supreme Court affirmed the legalities of laws that restrict the medical establishment’s ability to castrate kids. Their opponent is on the ropes due to his own incompetence and their plan is to try and out-do his self-destruction.
Speaking of which Stephanie Stuckey is a lawyer and former Democrat member of the Georgia legislature. Right now, she’s trying to resurrect the family company, Stuckey’s, which used to have a fairly large footprint along the interstate highway system.
Stephanie seems like a nice lady, but if you look at her profile on Facebook, she calls herself the “Chair” of Stuckey’s. Not chairman, no no no! Not even chairwoman. Chair.
“He would be worse than Bush, as people actually trusted Trump.” Right now I wonder whether anyone abroad trusts him. The Chinese don’t, the Russians don’t, and now the Iranians don’t. He talks and “negotiates” (if that’s the right word) in bad faith, and contradicts himself and flip-flops constantly. His word means nothing. They say a gentleman’s word is his bond and by this criterion Trump is no gentleman. But I’m increasingly convinced he’s not even a normal man. Rather a blithering idiot who should be put in a straitjacket and shipped off to the funny farm. As for what… Read more »
Kayfabe applied to geopolitics and possible nuclear war.
God help us all.
They think it’s all just showbiz. Unfortunately the nukes are (probably?) not props
Asmongold: “He didn’t like the deal, so he blew up the table.”
In ye olde Bible days, one of the people God saved was a king of Judah. He gave him 12 more years of life. It was all very deliberate and showy, with even a miracle involved. What the king did with those years was a)show one of the neighboring rivals the storehouses of weapons and b)sire a son who took the throne under his blessing (presumably over older, more competent sons) who was a complete disaster for the kingdom. God doesn’t always save people for immediately positive results.
Thanks for sharing that fairytale with the class.
Trump said 3 or 4 things the past week that are just totally disturbing even taking into the fact that Trump says stuff. This doesn’t seem like the usual Trump A/B thing (which we literally just saw with immigration raids). Him blowing off what his DNI said with “I don’t care what she says” was just insane. So now he takes the word of Mark Levin over his own DNI? A guy who hated him until 5 minutes ago? A guy who said the same BS about Iraq, which Trump heavily criticized in 2015? It seems like all of his… Read more »
“Him blowing off what his DNI said with “I don’t care what she says” was just insane. So now he takes the word of Mark Levin over his own DNI?”
He has his orders from on high is the only inference I can draw. The USA is not a sovereign state anymore. The Kosher Nostra runs everything, but using a Goy glove.
I say we roll with Occam’s razor and simply acknowledge that, just as Biden succumbed to dementia, Trump has gone crazy. And I mean that quite literally. He really has no idea what he said 30 minutes ago, let alone three weeks ago. This would account for his incoherence and the bizarre things he says.
It’s either that or he really does take the view of the last person he talked to. There must be a faction desperately trying to keep him off the phone with Bibi.
I have a sinking feeling that might be the case. I looked up the negotiations with Iran. What he did means he’s either a mental patient or wants a war.
Tulsi contradicted Bibi, the b*tch. That’s unacceptable and breaks all the foreign policy rules.
Levin makes me fucking sick. He can rip on the New Deal and quote James Madison with the best of them.
But somehow, he always manages to steer the topic to Israel. Fucking shyster.
If whites had that sort of ethnocentrism we’d be invincible. Hell, we’d probably have colonies on stars in other galaxies by now. Instead we’ve allowed various millstones in the form of stupid and destructive peoples to be draped around our necks.
Well, in fairness, whites have fumbled and lost the ball. I live in a region where most of the cretins one encounters are, alas, white. Overweight, foul-mouthed losers in and out of KFC with their spawn all piling into a beat-up Taurus, their aggregate weight – plus the buckets of chicken – straining the suspension of the old rusted vehicle. I am not exaggerating much. The deterioration of rural white people is real, and it cannot be blamed on other races. It can be blamed on stupidity, the collapse of families, of proper work, of religion, of general education. We’re… Read more »
Much of the deterioriation of white people stems from the New Left’s conquest of America’s institutions and fashioning them into an anti-white propaganda/indoctrination apparatus. We have been taught to loathe ourselves and to jettison everything that made us great. Those who succumbed to the great psy-op are those you’ve described as well as the spiteful mutants. The former may just be salvageable; the latter are irredemable.
Yes, that’s Levin. It’s sad too, because by the standards of talk radio, Levin is thoughtful. educated, even informative. But touch on Israel, and he’s like the guys in The Manchurian Candidate who all assert that Raymond Shaw is the bravest, warmest, kindest and most wonderful man I have ever known in my life. Kind of scary. Replace “Raymond Shaw” with ((a certain small country)) and it’s the same unbreachable hypnotic state.
We need to rip out all the wiring and bust up the joint…
There’s this weird sense of deja vu right now. We have an aged President heading into mental deterioration who is probably going to be replaced by his VP at some stage. This is Trump, not Biden. And we even have impeachment on the table once more – this time from enraged MAGA folk who quite rightly think that he has betrayed them. Bizarre times!
The Iran issue is the “do or die” moment for the Donald. If he doesn’t get serious – fast – and extricate AINO from this deadly and pointless war between nations of no consequence to our actually-existing domestic emergencies, then I have had enough. Next election on my ballot I write in Pinochet, or Franco, Charlemagne, or Vlad the Impaler.
Russia is currently building a rail corridor from St. Petersburg through Iran and terminating at a coastal port on the Arabian Sea. This benefits Russia by bypassing both the Baltic Sea and Black Sea transport bottlenecks. As such, Iran is now becoming an intercontinental crossroads. Neither Russia nor China is going to allow Iran to be defeated by the West. Trump will likely authorize a single strike, fail badly, as did Jimmy Carter in his Iranian misadventure, and then declare victory while slinking away. How far we have fallen.
Railroads are not a real substitute. Shipping is so cheap nobody can even believe it, but consider that peaches grown in Brazil, packaged in Thailand and shipped back to the US, is cheaper than domestic produce. The most expensive part of that voyage is the truck that takes the peaches from the farm in Brazil to the port.
Sorry, but you’re ignoring the reality of geopolitics. The West uses its domination of shipping corridors to enforce its economic hegemony and extract rent from all shipping activity; plus also uses that control to enforce its coercion and threats in other areas. Russian shipping, when restricted solely to the Baltic and Black Sea bottlenecks, is at the mercy of this piracy. The rail line to the Arabian Sea port undermines that hegemony and neuters the West’s transport dominance.
I’m not aware that the West taxes Russian shipping, and a railroad doesn’t undermine the hegemony if the cost is x50 per kilo.
Yes, you can circumvent a naval blockade, but it’s not a viable economic solution long term.
Shades of Spain financing Columbus’s expedition to circumvent the Islamic stranglehold on the Silk Road by searching for an overseas route to Asia.
Make what you just typed, make sense, because the only way it does is someone is subsidizing it. Why would they do that?
My example was made up and for illustration only, but that’s the order of magnitude we’re dealing with, and the only way it’s subsidized is that bunker fuel isn’t taxed.
A big reason is that the infrastructure is completely free of charge and you can load as much tonnage onto the sea as naval engineering allows, and travel any distance without putting wear on it at all.
Also it’s one area where capitalism actually works as intended: the competition is savage and the profit margins razor thin.
But for an actual example, you have Chinese garlic out-competing Californian produce, and garlic is both cheap and bulky.
I don’t buy it, but thanks for the response.
Good on you, I never buy Chinese garlic myself. It has no real kick and the aroma has more sulphur than flower.
But people buy it anyway because all they care about is price and since they usually burn off the higher notes with too hot oil, they can’t taste the difference anyway.
If China and Russia let Iran go under, then they don’t deserve to survive. They still don’t seem to realise that the West wants them dead, dead, dead.
The feeling seems to be more than mutual in China’s case.
Who told you that? Fox News?
Chinese are no saints, but when it comes to China, it’s not the Usual Suspects who strike at them and cry out in pain.
Americans… Second least self-aware people on the planet. Really.
But nothing. Modern China is every bit the dystopian technocratic bughive as AINO and then some. The enemies of our enemies are not our friends here.
The Chinese State doesn’t hate the Chinese people.
It really is that simple.
O’Brien didn’t hate Winston Smith, either.
The regime is what’s going away, not the nation. Maybe the principals are tired of Iran’s antics too- the Twelver’s focus on war-war and proxies while they asset-strip the nation gives Russia and China huge discounts, because the mullahs don’t have money for much else other than maintaining their police state and trying to extend it on the coast.
However, big discounts now also means the strong possibility of default in the future. The Ayatollah is in the same position as Zelenskyy.
I fear that someone in Israel is reading what zman is writing about Trump’s base, nodding in agreement and then proceeds to order painting f-35s with the national insignia of Iran and bombing an American ship. Or a concert is blown up and an Iranian driver’s license found nearby. With the stakes this high, is there any chance that the usual suspects will desist from dirty tricks?
Ray McGovern would say yes.
I would say, “Even the Israeli’s Balls aren’t that big.”
A little late today. I was wondering if you were off for Juneteenth. 🙂
I forgot all about it! That explains the KFC ads all over YouTube this week.
I’m glad the double whammy of Riot and Bagel Wars has tamped down “celebration” of Sodomy Month and Summer Kwanzaa, at least.
You take your solace where you can find it.
Incidentally, it’s dashedly demoralizing to be a June baby these days.
You’ll be able to take your solstice anywhere on Earth tomorrow but only at a certain time: Friday, June 20, 2025, 10:42 p.m. EDT. (Lousy pun, but perhaps a chuckle from any astronomers in the audience?)
That’s a groaner alright, Ben. Even by my rotten standards of punning.
Man looks in the abyss, there’s nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
Ben, heed sage advice. Put down the puns, son.
Stop going for the easy laugh and start producing something with your life. Think first, instead of living off the publication of really bad humor.
It’s time to write technical manuals, Ben. Strictly fact-based ones.
June is Groomer Awareness Month
Heh.
**Another black mark in Zman’s zapiska**
So did we. Husband just noted all the banks are closed. Didn’t realize the implications of juneteemph becoming a full fed holiday. What a joke this country is.
Especially so close after Memorial Day and before the 4th of july. End of July would have been a better time 🤣
April first would seem to be most fitting.
Forgive the coarse language, but my dad called complaining that the bank was closed and he asked me why. I said, “Juneteenth.” … He’s like, “What?” … I said (jokingly), it’s a new holiday for the nîggers.”
His response? “OH COME ON!” LOL
Every day is nuggra-worship day in AINO, so I really don’t know why we need to set aside special days to belabor the obvious.
June 19th added a second pointless special day. Because MLK Jr just wasn’t enough.
You can’t order out on an important holiday like this. I’m making my own fried chicken and waddymelon with orange soda.
No purple draaaaaaaaaaank? The stupid savagery of these people putting codeine into Sprite is amusing if not depressing.
Grape soda, you culturally insensitive mayo monkey!
I settled on BBQ ribs, bacon-roasted cabbage, and a drum of cherry Kool Aid…extra sugar, of course.
I thought it was grape drank but I suppose orange works too, especially now that we have the First Orange President in office. I actually never thought much about Jumeteemf being in the middle of buttsecks month. Do we celebrate by shoving a miniature watermelon up our asses?
A drumstick from Popeye’s will do…
stock market is closed for Juneteenth! Such bravery, such respect
What does the market matter anymore? It’s all computer algorithms anyway.
Wall Street is taking a courageous stand against racism, dontchaknow…
Ha! I laughed so hard I started choking! Z…fabulous columns-keepers for today and yesterday. Bless your black button gaiters, Sir!
Shit…that’s why endless adverts of fat, ugly, dusky women dancing, boobs flopping, ham sized legs jiggling, advertising Wegovy.

Good to see the humor on the Z Man is still good lol

I changed my oil and filter. I was thinking about fried chicken but I would have to drive past the train tracks.
I’m flying a Confederate battle flag in my yard. And I am not joking.

I might (only might) finally look up just whatever the f00k Joomteemf is supposed to be about. Actually, I think we should always celebrate by just making up the most ridiculous revisionist history story about it that we can. Then, we have a big feast of fried chicken and watermelon (what else) and each person at the table tells his goofy story about what it really means. So, yeah, it’s exactly a summer version of Kwanzaa.
I chose to celebrate by buck breaking Cornelius Rye again. Hearing him cry out to Kunta, Kizzy and Chicken George and wail fo’ his freedom lightens my cruel slabing heart.

Once self-righteous white females got a load of ‘Roots’ it was all over for the Ebil Ebil White Man. After ‘Roots’, it was RIGHTEOUS to disenfranchise and dispossess white men and boys.

Oh yes, the brutal and oppressive Patriarchy under which we all live:

June-teenffff! I was raised in the South, was around blacks all my life, played sports with them, was friends with a ton of them and not once did I ever hear about June-teenfffffff.
Now it’s a federal holiday to go along with the one celebrating the Marxist plagiarist, faux Christian (didn’t believe in many key Christian doctrines) and sexual deviant. Oh. Joy.
We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. I expect we’ll live to see the day when the Assumption of St. Floyd and the birth of President BO are also national holidays.

If Trump thinks any problems beyond the U.S. borders is more important that problems within U.S. borders then he is unsound in his thinking.
One Caveat: The biggest problem for the U.S. beyond its borders is all the meddling and war-mongering it does.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the external meddling served to create populations of refugees that became internal problems for the US due to the idiotic soft and open borders policies that have been official policy for decades.
There is a very easy solution to this. Find a district judge who will tell Trump he can’t drop any bombs.
In fact, it’s kind of a tell that they haven’t
You missed out the fact that Trump wouldn’t have returned to power without powerful Zionist backing and that it is very likely that he and most of political allies are being blackmailed by Israel (Epstein Island, Mr Lindsey?). Gabbard told him that the Iranians weren’t building nukes and he seemed to accept that for a moment. Then he talks to Netanyahu and jaw, jaw becomes war, war. Yes, Trump might have the brain cells left to make this all about stopping China, but the simplest explanation is that US foreign policy is decided in Tel Aviv.
Now you are starting to think at the right level of analysis: empire and hegemony for the NATO-level oligarchs. This is why France changed her tune regarding Israel and has joined in the defense alongside Britain. Western powers were content to let China be the empire’s factory until the Chinese economic “miracle” meant another potential rival. The breakup and subjugation of Russia is sold with the same logic for them, alongside claiming trillions in Russia’s resource like the nation was some African backwater. Iran has become an important logistics hub and supplies China 20% of her oil energy. You need… Read more »
And, I don’t think China wants to risk a nuclear exchange with anyone either.
If the use of tactical (limited range) nukes gets normalized on the testing grounds of Iran, then, like drones or hypersonics, it changes all the rules.
Now, Joe MAGA is giving Tucker a lot of grief, but I think he’s the Emirates’ cutout sending a message to Israel: keep it conventional. Trump and Tucker are playing a bad-cop, good-cop Vince McMahon routine.
War with China is even dumber than war with Iran. Unless the US can totally defeat China in a very short war of maybe a couple of months, the US will be handed the worst defeat in our history and may very well end in our navy sunk and our shipyards being destroyed. The US attacking China or fighting China on the side of Taiwan is as stupid as Hitler declaring war on the US. Our so-called allies aren’t going to do anything. Unlike the US, Korea and Japan are in easy striking distance of China. They are not going… Read more »
That and what’s the upside? Say their wet dream comes true and the Russian and Chinese governments collapse and the nations are broken up into mini-states governed by GAE aligned fake-o-democracies: how are the lives for Americans in America improved by that situation? We would have made the lives worse for a great number of foreign people while probably making our lives worse as well.
Another thing people forget: China was basically Japan’s “Russian front” during WW2, keeping over 1 million troops tied down who could have prevented our Pacific theater victories. China today is far more powerful than the divided and backward China of the 1930s and 1940s – more powerful, even, than the mighty Soviet Union of those days.
But our gaggle of gaggots and trannulae are going to take them down?
I implore anyone who doubts this point to go look at current Chinese steel and aluminum outputs versus the GAE, Germany, or even Russia.
End of story.
The manufacturing and industrial prowess of the USA in 1944-45, combined with its per capita productivity, is well known and shall always be the standard, much as Ted Williams batting .406 in 1941, or the Hoover Dam being built within five years. It was a different time, you understand… China is ruled by practical, cynical men. In the time it takes to get a variance allowing someone to expand their shoestore in a posh US suburb, the Chinese build another 2-3 power plants. As the Chinese add another 1000 engineers, “we” add another 1000 lawyers (many of whom are in… Read more »
That’s why the US and China are having a proxy faceoff in Iran, like with Russia in Syria. It’s a Cold War conflict, far away from either’s shores.
Not really. China wants unification with Taiwan and that is the hot spot where China-US relations could go sour. Iran is unlikely to defeat the US Navy. China is likely to defeat the US Navy and possibly bomb it all the way back to US docks. We have a slight technology edge, but they can out produce us more than 10 to 1. We could not build a carrier in a 5 year period, especially if the shipping lanes are not open from other Asian economies. So the solution is we’re gonna have Japan and South Korea build them for… Read more »
China might not do so well either. According to some estimates, their actual population size is barely larger than that of the US…
I’ve heard these rumors, just complete and utter nonsense. While the official numbers may or may not be correct, these fake made up numbers going around on social media are impossible. One video I saw, I think it was a woman named something Li, actually cited a viewer of a different channel who claims to work for the UN or something that he left in a comment. WHO would cite something like this? There is not one credible source for any of this malarkey.
What makes you think that?
Wolfgang Pauli phoned up from his sepulchre with a special message just for you:
“That’s Not Even Wrong™.”
What are all of you doing to celebrate Juneteenth?
I ate some watermelon after lunch. This afternoon I plan to drive around in my car blasting music with heavy base and block intersections while waiting for the light to change.
Maybe later I will steal some nail polish at Walgreens for my baby momma.
Lately I’ve been streaming Columbo reruns. About all the rich white folks in Beverly Hills murdering each other. And not having the sense to lawyer up, preferring endless incriminating conversations with the police.
The small towns are also supposedly filled with white criminal masterminds according to the TV shows.
Loading ammo.
So at the dog park I go to there are some older folks who I suspect are Evangelical Christians. (They seem to talk about bible study and old testament things quite a bit) Listening to them go on, in their minds Iran was already totally destroyed by the Israeli strikes and they’re cackling like braying morons about it.
A lot of people know things that aren’t true.
When a Clown moves into a Palace, the Clown doesn’t become a Prince, the Palace becomes a Circus.
your thesis begs the question: why not go straight at china? ban all their goods here, and kick out all chinese nationals (including students). refuse to let china use SWIFT, etc. even on tariffs TACO Don hit the chicken switch immediately. and i think that is TD in a nutshell; he wants to do certain things, talks about them, but lacks the nerve to actually follow through.
AINO has too many critical supply chains that start in China. They don’t want to provoke an immediate shutdown of those.
Two examples that come to mind are pharmaceuticals and rare earth metals. Two subcategories impacted by the second category are magnets and integrated circuits.
The Chinese equivalent of SWIFT, CIPS, is already outperforming the former in terms of daily financial transactions. Banning China from SWIFT will just hasten its decline.
Exactly, particularly the pharmaceuticals (and literally nothing substantive changed after Covid). China also tends to be the sole source of more complex components, so you get unironic requests for material to be used in weapons scheduled to export to Ukraine, by way of example. This isn’t solely or sometimes even mainly a question of inflation–it often boils down to actual availability.
The other hole in his thesis though is that the Iran War is wildly unpopular and they’re trying to pump Israel as the casus belli, but after a year of state sponsored genocide Americans don’t like Israel much more than they do Iran. If the thesis is true it seems like it would be easier to sell Americans on the idea of thwarting Chinese, or even Russian influence, than defending Bibi’s bad decision making.
good point
Yep. And more and more people are noticing just how much power these slimy Zionists have in the US.
I agree that China is likely the ultimate target of a war with Iran, but don’t forget Russia. An Iranian collapse would enable globalist activity in the various central Asian republics around Russia. The Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor, and also on the Phillipines and British colonies such as Hong Kong and Singapore, was part of a complex calculation. The Japanese had achieved victory over Russia in the 1905 war despite having occupied very little of Russia, and that in far-away Siberia. Russia simply had to concede that certain areas (e.g., Korea) could be occupied by Japan. Japan thought that… Read more »
Could we be seeing the early formation of WWIII? The Anglosphere and Western/Central Europe as the Allies and BRICS as the Axis? I certainly hope not, but the Blackberry Fruitcake Empire is extremely jealous of its global hegemony and is ruled by deranged fools. I’m afraid anything is possible just so long as it’s bad.
I continue to believe, and events of the past week reinforce it, that WW3 began when Russian troops entered Ukraine. Kind of like how WW2 began when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1936, but nobody was calling it WW2 yet. They weren’t calling it WW2 yet when Germany invaded Poland either.
There’s no single event that makes a war a war, so you can pick your favorite beginning. I think WW3 started years ago, with the UK’s “mock” invasion of Russia via Estonia in early 2017. Britain’s message to Putin: “Trump, elections, and the people can’t stop us. We’re coming.” Pearl Harbor was fake, in a sense. Made for TV, at the birth of TV. Maybe Putin’s invasion, which surprised almost everybody, was WW3’s analogous event. He invaded because we were going to pretend he invaded. Made for state-run social media, at the birth of state-run social media. Putin ruined the… Read more »
The difference between the Great War in Two Parts and now are there are no troops in the West able to be called up. There’s also no serious willingness to pay for it.

It would be largely an air-and-naval war that could easily go nuclear. It would also prove astronomically expensive and inconclusive. The best-case scenario would be that there be no bombing of population centers, but there’s sure no guarantee of that.
One could argue that WWIII started in the Syrian Civil War – analogous to the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, with Germans and Russians and their hardware facing off on opposite sides.

What happens if the regime falls and the Iranians celebrate their diversity Syria style? Does the enriched radiation hit the black market and wind up in dirty bombs in the US or Europe? As you said on ramzpaul, China may decide to bleed the US and NATO by supplying Iran with weapons. They lost Syria which was… Read more »
There’s no way we can put troops on the ground in Iran. We don’t have sufficient forces, and the pubic won’t stomach it. They won’t enlist, either. On the other hand history has proven conclusively that air power alone cannot defeat an enemy without infantry and armor on the ground as well. The Blitz on London, the 8th Air Force, Operation Rolling Thunder, Operation desert Fox… the examples are endless. So Trump has boxed himself in. If he bombs Iran, he commits an act of war and the Iranians can and will retaliate any way they see fit. But bombing… Read more »
If regime change is the goal, and I believe it is, then most likely somebody has to go in on the ground, sooner or later. Post Iraq, the GAE way of war has repeatedly involved proxy armies. Where are all those guys who spent the last 15 years fighting in Syria?
I think they are planning a HALO drop, with Vicky Nudelman and Alexander the Great Vindeman … but to DOGE and save money, they are going to use ONE parachute, like during Poppy Bush’s last drop as a 90 year old.

Good news is, you don’t have to die first.
(Actually, that’s true. The Islamic Heaven referred to R&R camps for fighters – if you fought, you could get all the wine and little boys and girls you wanted. “Paradise” is a name for resorts.)
Indeed. If fear of Iranian sleeper cells in AINO is part of the oblique casus belli, then what would be more likely to activate them than BFE airstrikes on Iran?
Exactly. It’s psychological projection and self-fulfilling prophecy. Iran hasn’t attacked us, but if we commit unprovoked acts of war against them because they might attack us, then they do attack us in retaliation, we were right. See?
This theory of pre-emptive strike is just flat out immoral. There is a possibility at some point in the future, in which our adversary may attack us. Therefore, we are justified to strike them first. It doesn’t take a philosophy major to realize the problems with this. It only makes sense when we see the nuke being fueled up on the launch pad, and we have a guy on the launcher telling us yep, they just put in the coordinates for a US city. Obviously this is not what’s occurring, so the reasoning is faulty and immoral. But it doesn’t… Read more »

That’s why the Baltimore Bridge had people chunking their boxers.
Savage is a Jew, like Levin, Dr, Laura, etc. etc. He was giving you the standard Zionist propaganda. “Conservative” talk radio is literally nothing but Zionist shills.
If we’re supposed to fear Iranian suitcase nukes so much, why not Russian suitcase nukes? North Korean suitcase nukes? Pakistani suitcase nukes? Indian suitcase nukes?
Funny how we’re supposed to worry about a nation that has no ICBMs, no SLBMs, no long range bombers, no air defenses, and a 1970s air force. Iran cannot hit us… but can hit Israel.
Back in the 1980s when we were playing fuck-fuck in Mid East, a local joke in DC was something like “Iran retaliated by cutting off taxi service to National Airport.”
China has been sending cargo planes to Iran since the sneak attack. My guess is they are supplying Iran with components to keep building missiles as part of a war of attrition. Israel has admitted that it is low on AD already. The US is also low on AD. Another couple of weeks and things get critical. The thing is, an attack on Iran will not change this problem, unless that attack collapses the regime. That is the dilemma Trump is facing at the moment. His high risk scheme has created a scenario in which the risks are now higher.… Read more »
Ted Postol has given multiple interviews where he describes simple bunker construction features that can largely redirect that blast impact of bunker busters.
On top of that, one has to think an incoming bunker buster bomb could be deflected, damaged, or even destroyed by local point air defense cannons or missiles.
The above is a good illustration as to why we can’t win squat in any war. China sends critical components to build Iranian missiles which the Iranians use within weeks to replenish weaponry. Meanwhile, in the US, Raytheon’s President talks of 18 months to restart an assembly line for US weaponry sent to Ukraine.
Both China and Russia are doing what we used to call dollar diplomacy. Except they do not just bribe the leaders. They also invest in the infrastructure. You see it is South America where China built a port in Peru. That is far more valuable to the local leaders than bling from Washington.
China and Russia have strong presences throughout Central America too. China mostly via economic entities. For example, China built (for ‘free’) a huge soccer stadium in the capitol city of Costa Rica, and has small and large grocery stores all over the country. Thus, a disseminated presence where Chinese nationals have nearly zero oversight from the host nation. They’re doing more than selling tortillas, put it like that. Russia, for example, has troops and advisors stationed in Nicaragua, many at the Costa Rican border and offshore. While the threats in Central and South America mount, what concerns D.C.? Keeping the… Read more »
We have to clean it up? Bullshit!
Yeah, we should, we broke it we should have to fix it. It’s past time for this country to stop being the Scut Farkas of the world and learn to live with everyone. While we’re at it withdraw from our hegemony.
China is already supplying weapons to Iran. Dang, sorry I don’t have the specifics.
However, I agree with one pundit that the strategy is “Drop it and bounce. We’ll take take of our demand – Fordow, no nukes (because we say so, that’s why) – and let Israel do the rest.”
Trump strong horses keeping proliferation within bounds, the Israel lobby ties itself up in looking as bad as possible. That is putting a lethal dent in their credibility and worship on the Right, the Left, and the Faithful.
Very important and inciteful post about China and Trump’s motivations. This goes along with what some of the military analysts have said about the conflict. They have not noticed the China link but they are starting to say the tactics are going to be the Syria and Libya model. The complete destruction of the Iranian society. If Iran is turned into a Mad Max landscape with various warlords running things then they will be no threat. There are no U.S. force structures that would allow boots on the ground for the foreseeable future. If Iran’s economy is destroyed the railway… Read more »
Iran’s economy is being asset-stripped anyways by the regime. If that railway was run by a more tractable regime…I can see how Russia, China, and Turkey would sign off. And, we’re setting up a ‘Kurdistan’ (Balochistan) to mess with the Pakistanis, to India’s delight. Thus the visit with Modi. MBS, investing beyond oil, would love to have a piece of Gaza Riviera. The original Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline to Iran is still there, as well, from Iran’s original deal with Israel, next to the offshore fields. Sisi smacked Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey has its piece of Syria, Houthis are to Yemen what… Read more »
One would think, in a huge landmass connecting Russia, China, Iran, India and Turkey plus lesser players, that sophisticated networks of transportation, transmission lines, pipelines for oil and gas – invulnerable to interference from the AINO Navy – could easily be worked out once the main parties agree that the USA can be isolated and sidelined, with benefits for all. One country would have to call the shots and that country would presumably be China, given its wealth, military power, and well-established international reach, no small part of which is in AINO itself. The Greater Eurasian Co-Prosperty Sphere. And unlike… Read more »
The most frightening thought: a GAE in its writhing death throes, setting off Armageddon as a kind of adolescent fit at not getting its way. Imagine an 11-year-old girl who has just been told that she can’t wear makeup to school, AND possesses a nuclear weapon. You’re talking AINO right there.
Sounds like Halford John Mackinder’s 1904 “heartland” theory. The Eurasian land mass is the heartland and whoever controls it controls the world.

So far the view of Trump as a facilitator of little stabilization in the Empire is losing arguments: the erratic trade disputes, immigration flip-flops, Ukraine peace fiasco and now Iran. This presidency might as well pose him as an undertaker of global hegemony, through the destruction of credibility and flailing around as if to waste energy on purpose. For all the pivoting towards Indo-Pacific, the distractions keep piling up along the way. Or perhaps the pivot has already become unrealistic in its ambitions and the signs like accepting further knowledge transfers (expanding Chinese student visas) foretell the future of resigned… Read more »
The Pearl Harbor attack was a desperation move by the Japanese. The American embargo was set to cripple their military and the remedy was to seize the resources of the European colonies in Asia. FDR had assured the Portuguese (who had a small colony [Timor] in Indonesia) that in the event of a Japanese attack, the US fleet would move westward to oppose it. He knew the Japanese had broken the Portuguese diplomatic code and would get the message. Thus, the Japanese were convinced that the US Pacific fleet would need to be neutralized for Japanese offensive to succeed. It… Read more »
“If you listen to what Trump says, he is all over the map, …” Perhaps the most pathetic outcome of this whole fiasco. Trump’s “all over the map” because he’s attempting to take credit for anything in this fiasco that can be perceived as a victory or a positive outcome. Toss enough BS at the wall and something will stick (come true). However, not everyone is that gullible, Trump’s statements are more correctly perceived as confusion, incompetence, and lack of control. Trump has bet his entire presidency/legacy on this venture, whether he knows this or not. If he wins—through shear… Read more »
re: sending B2s into /iran
i would bet real money they can be spotted, tracked, and targeted by Russian satellites. especially since it is known where they will be taking off from.
One theory that wasn’t mentioned is that Israel was holding their Epstein blackmail information on Trump until the last minute. They probably have dirt on a lot of congresspeople and simultaneously contacted all of them, sort of like that pager attack.
That’s a compelling conjecture, NateG. Recently others had said that if the putative Epstein Files really had any dirt on Trump that it would have been used in the past few years. Since no such Kompromat dropped, goes the argument, such Kompromat doesn’t exist. But not so fast! To my mind at least, substantially all if not all of the assaults against Trump dating back to “Rusiagate” or whatever it was before he’d even been elected (in 2016) were either total forgeries (e.g. the “Pee Dossier”) or were very (pardon the pun) trumped up charges like the conviction about putting the wrong wording… Read more »

“a railway that links China to Iran”
*gasp*
Zman, you’ve scored another first. I’ve never heard mention of this before, and it must’ve taken quite a bit of time and investment.
I surely would like to know what countries this railroad runs through. This is Mackinder theory come live.
And South Pars! That might constitute a direct attack on Chinese interests. Meanwhile, Federal land in the Western states are being offered up for sale to China through the back door. Are we becoming Canada’s 11th province?
In been in the works for years, how can you not know?
It’s called Being American 😛
Not just American, my dudes- but Californian-American.
And Qatar own part of Pars, right?

Sometime in late April or early May whoever controls Trump decided scuttle the negotiations and have a war with Iran.
I want to add that Iran has done things that I don’t understand, that don’t make sense, outside of being a Russian and/or Chinese puppet. Iran has engaged in pointless, and costly expeditionary actions that have mostly ended in defeat: Lebanon, where Hezbollah got destroyed by Israel’s pager bomb and aerial bombs. Syria, where the IRGC got routed by ISIS jihadis. Hamas where Iran trained the jihadis to attack Israel, for ??? To what benefit did Iran get by Oct 7, which was an operation conceived and trained in Iran (which is why the Israelis did not understand what was… Read more »
“He seems to worship Jewish people, a common folk religion in Washington.” Two comments: 1. Maybe people in these corners of the internet wouldn’t be so hostile to Jews if we didn’t have to hear about them and they weren’t in our face all the time. Just shut up and keep your head down like other ethnic groups and maybe you won’t attract so much hate. But that’s not their way. 2. I just had one of those “aha!” moments. I’ve been blaming Republican cucks for being Uncle Toms for their Jewish masters, which they are. It just hit me… Read more »
I’m not sure he worships them (like Cruise and Huckleberry), but he does apparently fear to cross them.
Probably with good reason.
Like it or not, Jews are central to world history. It’s in the Bible. If you look at things from a spiritual and Biblical perspective, it all makes sense.
Another reason for my gripe with Kevin MacDonald’s “evolutionary selection” theory about Jews – and why evolution itself is pure B.S. – overnight Jews went from downtrodden shtetl mice being railroaded to death camps to Levantine super-warriors soundly beating all comers while massively outnumbered.
The theory only makes sense in our Jewish media soaked world. They think they are the center of world history and the universe and can spread the theory far and wide. As it stands the OT is the history of the Israelites, with the tribe of Judah one of 12 (or 13 depending on who is counting). The word “Jew” (Judahite) does not appear until very late in the OT timeline. NT Judahites clearly thought of themselves as Israelites/Sons of Abraham well before their tribal association. (Ben Shapiro would be proud). Evolution even if it were true simply doesn’t work… Read more »
Jews can’t exist without antisemitism, so they can never stop poking.
Why has Trump not simply hit Iran’s various sites? Why the delay? My guess is he is trying to make a deal with Russia. Swap Ukraine for Iran. He wants to get out of Ukraine, which is a no win, and get some kind of a win for himself to bank against conviction in his inevitable impeachment by Speaker Jeffries. This means he needs some Neo Cons and suchlike for his side. Can it work? I don’t know. How fragile or not Iran’s leadership is, remains unknown. Bombing campaigns unseated Khadaffi, and Milosevic. Assad was unassailable as long as Russian… Read more »
The correct response to all the impeachment threats is to throw half a dozen of them into a federal prison on corruption charges, RICO suites all round Family and friends and pets.

Are you sure B2’s can safely fly over S400 systems? A bunch them shot down and the pilots paraded around would be a bad look.
“when they are holding their own” I don’t see that, and I’ve been looking for it. I see Iran’s air defense, which is supposedly the best the Russians had to offer, being ineffective against the F-35A. I see, including people that I would consider “on my side” here, a mistaken extrapolation that the seriously outdated equipment supplied to Ukraine being destroyed by the Russians is a sign of American military equipment being past its due date. Destroying outdated F-16s with stripped down 40 year old avionics never impressed me. We were never going to give the Ukrainians the good stuff.… Read more »
The Patriot system has been exposed as a lemon, I don’t think that’s debatable
The Patriot Missile system has shot down more SU-34s than the S-400 has shot down F-35s.
Because F35 won’t go anywhere near an S400.
If those crappy planes were any good, the US would have imposed a no fly zone over Ukraine.
Are you saying that Iran didn’t place S-400s over their capital city or their nuclear research facilities? That’s an odd claim.
What attracts people to the “Alt-Right” world, is, or should be, realism. Race realism, sexes realism, economic realism. Accepting the world as it is and not how you want it to be. Trying to rationalize a position based on wishful thinking that the MIC has inferior equipment is not realism. Like I said, given enough evidence to the contrary, my opinion can change but I have yet to see that evidence.
I see no evidence that Iran used s-400’s
care to cite your sources?
Sure. Yes the ghost of keeev has been operating patriot batteries and blowing Russian aircraft out of the sky .
You have to launch 2 $1 million Patriots at a single target. If either lose lock, they often nosedive into the friendly territory they are supposed to be protecting. They killed more Americans than Saddam’s Scuds in the first Gulf War and they recorded doing the same thing in Ukraine.
I think you’re buying into the propaganda a bit Friendo. We are all susceptible to confirmation bias, but you can be sure you’re not getting accurate reports from either side. Such is war. I think “our type” should be more level-headed. You are correct in that sometimes our high-tech equipment is assumed to not work because we want to dump on the MIC. Sometimes it does work wonderfully, but as a lifetime student of war I can tell you a lesson learned over and over again is war is a contest of will and an over-reliance on high tech usually… Read more »
I don’t know the specifics, but (presumably) low-tech outdated (even at the time) Soviet stuff was sufficient to down one of our vaunted Stealth fighters during the civil war in Bosnia ~ 1995. The recovered jet was quite a prize for Russia. This was quite a big deal at the time, apparently to the extent that US/NATO “accidentally” bombed the Chinese embassy in [city?] because they suspected the goods might have been there. As I say, I don’t know the details. Lucky shot, maybe.
Read article years ago dissecting how the Jugs did it. Wasn’t a lucky shot. Combination of determination, technical skill and imagination in putting near obsolete Soviet air defence kit to work doing something new (stealth aircraft detection and tracking), and (but of course) Good Old American Hubris. Because they were so sure they were invisible, they had a standard modus operandi around going in and out on missions…
Jugs figured out roughly the routes, worked out what other aircraft were up monitoring and what comms traffic occurred whenever a stealth mission was on, and set up the trap.
Serbs. Should have been more specific. But the expertise came out of the old Yugoslavian military which was highly professional and didn’t recruit in strip malls.
No, they didn’t recruit. They conscripted. Everyone had to do their service.
It’s the only way to enlist the smart fraction, after all.
True. My uncle was a draft dodger. 🤣
Upvote to McLeod, for what little that’s worth. I thought someone here mentioned the October 2024 feint or test run by Israeli jets, which activated Iran’s full air defense for livemapping. That, combined with US satellites and Israel’s targeting of military and air assets on the ground seems to be what is doing the job, not the Air Force’s latest boondoggle.
I am sometimes shocked by your naivete about Islam. The nice Muslims you know are not representative, nor do they drive the actions of Islamic countries. Because the mullahs follow strict Islam (which is much more a political system than a religion), so long as the mullahs are in charge Iran will never hold to any deal. Taqiyya is not just hiding one’s religion when threatened, it is also deceiving the infidels to gain an advantage, and this behavior is =mandated= by the Noble Quran. “War is deceit.” Further, Islam is =by definition= at war with all the lands of… Read more »
“Also, has everyone forgotten that last October, Iran lobbed ~500 missiles into Israel?”
Liar. That was a retaliatory strike for Israel’s previous attack. Are you gonna start whining about the hospital next?
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy. I couldn’t care less about Muslims and I don’t want a nice Muslim for a neighbor and I don’t care about Israel or Jews. Both of them are just another group of foreigners wrecking our countries.
Take your Israeli first politics and shove em where the sun don’t shine.
“Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy.” Exactly. This binary thinking about Islam is silly. I don’t have to care either way.

I have no particular love for Israel.
I have far less love for the cancer that is Islam.
Anything that fights Islam helps hold off the day when it conquers the west (it won’t stop, so we must stop it).
We have already gone over all this about 20-25 years ago. Welcome to the internet.
Over the past six months there has been a biased glitch in the columns by The Z man. Sometimes obvious and sometimes subtle. For instance , in today’s column he uses the term “sneak attack”.A word that implies cowardice. He could have used the word “retaliation” but his bias said no. My agreements with Zman have become fewer and fewer.He is oozing the traits of the democrat mouthpiece James Carville….ie…whatever is muttered is to be just the opposite of what I said yesterday.A pity.
The main reason I did not use the word “retaliation” is that it is not the right word to use for a Pearl Harbor style sneak attack.
I don’t Zman. He called you a Democrat. That’s pretty harsh. It’s time to disavow your use of accurate language.
“…in today’s column he uses the term “sneak attack”…” Perhaps instead we should re-open the discussion about the Six Day War of 1967. The narrative is that that sneak attack was justified because one country said another was ‘planning to attack’ … … in light of our newfound awareness of the depth and breadth of propaganda, and the attack, and goal of the attack on the USS Liberty … a logical men these events need to be revisited. After agreeing to peace in March 1940, Stalin planned one more bombing of Helsinki to teach Finland a lesson. The Finns reportedly… Read more »
“A word that implies cowardice. He could have used the word “retaliation” but his bias said no.”
Bollocks. It was cowardly and underhanded and the Jooz specialize in this. If the Iranians had done the same to the Israelis, Western media would be frothing at the mouth and expostulating hatred and invective at the Iranians for this cowardly underhanded trick. Double standards.
And no, what the Israelis did was not retaliation. The Iranians have been minding their own business.
Minding their own business by organizing the Gaza massacre on Israel? These barbarians and their death cult “religion” is a danger to the entire world that isn’t Muslim. Including you.
The Sand Hutus are a threat only to the extent we allow them into our lands. The danger, therefore, is immivasion not Islam per se. Confine them to their own territories and their fangs are effectively drawn.
Nope It IS Islam and their cult of hate for anyone who isn’t buying into their suicidal death wish….here or anywhere.
It’s the Yiddistanis not the Moslem’s who chant this three time: All vows, and prohibitions, and oaths, and consecrations, and konamei and kinusei and synonymous terms,[5] that we may vow, or swear, or consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves, •from the previous Day of Atonement until this Day of Atonement and …• ♦from this Day of Atonement until the [next] Day of Atonement that will come for our benefit.♦ Regarding all of them, we repudiate them. All of them are undone, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, not in force, and not in effect. Our vows are no longer vows, and our… Read more »
“the Gaza massacre on Israel” Ah yes, the Gaza Massacre. Another trick of the Zionist-controlled media: strip historical context out, and present anything done by the Palestinians/Iranians/Arabs as coming out of the blue and completely unprovoked and irrational. The Israelis were quietly and peacefully minding their own business when the bloodthirsty Palestinians, screaming “Allah-u-Akbar”, started their massacre of innocent Israeli women and children. What are you doing here, pal? There are enough sites and blogs for the likes of you. I thought this was a quiet oasis where we don’t have to put up with this kind of garbage. Is… Read more »

It feels like some people had been stuck in the internet of 20 years ago and all of a sudden they freed them into the internet of today. I wonder if they feel that way too?
Everyone should head over to thenewneo.com for a look see. It’s September 12, 2001 there every day for the world’s most persecuted groundhogs.
Haha! Once in a blue moon I’ll turn the radio on- as I read your comment, there was Spawn Hannity quoting you almost word for word. Those dastardly Iranians!
Bit like Israel’s retaliation against the USS Liberty.
‘McGuigan’ is one of those Hello My Fellow Irishman names like ‘Keenan’, huh? 😀
I asked a neo-con boomer to explain how the Israeli sneak attack and the Japanese attack were any different. He had nothing.
