  1. Interesting parallels to the situation with Russia. Until 2022 everyone thought the “Russian steamroller,” to use an old expression, could not be stopped from chugging over the top of a medium-ranked opponent, and then we found it could. So likewise now with the US as a superpower. The common denominator is the rise of drones and precision missiles. Ever since the 1970s, people have been saying that these would render defenders almost impregnable to being steamrollered. I’d be interested to know what Ben Morgan thinks of that analysis.

  2. It’s way past time for the rest of the world to combine, and instead of sitting on their hands, rid us of this egotistical, murdering mad man who has no common sense or human decency. He is ‘old hat’, has a huge recollection problem, consistently contradicting himself. He is in a corner of his own making! If he was honourable he would step down! How many out there can see that happening! Why can’t we stop him?

  3. The U.S. and the West have zero moral authority to tell Iran what to do or how to conduct itself…..

    “Godfathers of SAVAK Torture Regime Gaslight World to Further Regime Change War in Iran

    Under the Shah of Iran, the CIA & Mossad shaped SAVAK into a torture & killing machine. One of its torture victims was (the recently murdered )) Iran Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.”,,, “Occasionally, a mainstream news story will mention how Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was tortured in the Shah’s prisons. One can only imagine how formative such an experience was. When you consider that the torture was at the hands of police and jailers trained and/or supported by the United States, Great Britain, and Israel, it puts a different color on Western propaganda about Khamenei.

    To be sure, Supreme Leader Khamenei was not the first leader to be tortured by U.S.-backed security forces. There have been numerous such cases in Latin America over the years, including the former presidents of Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile. ”

    “While the Western press-cum-propaganda machine spins out stories about how the average Iranian man or woman in the street is opposed to Iran’s Islamic regime — and no doubt there are some, even many, in opposition — they practically never ask (especially in recent years) if any Iranians remember the previous regime’s reliance on the Shah’s society-wide political repression, courtesy of Western and Israeli intelligence services.”

    “At its peak, [SAVAK] employed around 7,000 full-time staff and about 20,000-40,000 part-time informants.” ,,,, “Illegitimate imprisonment became one of the many tools SAVAK used to install fear into Iranian society; it is estimated that in 1976 alone, there were between 25,000-100,000 political prisoners within Iran”

    ” Western efforts in Iran for decades led to the construction of a massive repressive secret police apparatus in that country, one which imprisoned, tortured and killed hundreds of thousands. That apparatus was given political cover by Western propaganda and associated governmental agencies.”

    from 1973–“More than 300,000 people have been in and out of prison during the last nineteen years of the existence of SAVAK; an average of 1,500 people are arrested every month.”

    “The hellish nightmare the West and Israel helped make in Iran led directly to the 1978-79 revolution that overthrew the Shah and kicked the West out of the country. Now the West and Israel want that control back.”

    The U.S. and the West have zero moral authority to tell Iran what to do or how to conduct itself…..

  4. As long as he does not put boots on the ground, Trump will be fine…guy can weasel out of anything As for the so-called regime, we in the West still think we live in a free and democratic world. No wonder we hold the views we have towards Iran, China, Russia and a host of other issues.

    Forget about Rumpy – we are the lost ones!

  5. What is the current state of mind of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That is the key. Would they follow Trump if he wanted to bomb Iran back to the stone age, including using nuclear weapons.
