In 2026, Trump hopes to bomb his way to victory in Iran the same way Israel thought they could genocide their way to victory in Gaza. However, the important difference is that while past targets like Iraq and Libya often lacked the means to strike back effectively under heavy bombardment, Iran is heavily armed to the teeth and is capable of dealing a massive blow to the US war machine.

The IRGC has already destroyed every major American base in the Middle East. And unlike Ricconi’s thesis which declared that heavy bombing could only work with the presence of ground forces, Vietnam proved that not to be the case and any attempt to invade Iran would result in sending American soldiers into a meat grinder. Iran’s coastal areas are heavily mined and fortified, exposing US forces and military assets to overwhelming counterattacks.

Tehran has repeatedly warned that any attack on its critical infrastructure will be met with retaliation—by destroying equivalent infrastructure in neighboring countries. This of course would mean that Trump’s reckless and criminal acts will have doomed the world to a depression worse than every major economic crisis in the last century combined.

The course of this conflict has made it very clear that Iran has the capability to strike back and they will no longer be bullied by the US and Israel through brute force.

"Say Goodbye to Electricity!" — Iran Threatens to Destroy the Entire Power Grid of the Persian Gulf

▪️Iran Threatens a Blackout if the Conflict Escalates.
▪️Most of the region's large power plants are located in the Gulf's coastal zone, within range of Iranian drones.
▪️The map shows key energy facilities:
Saudi Arabia (Al-Qatif, over 4,000 MW),
UAE (Jebel Ali and Barakah — up to 5,600 MW and the largest solar power plant, Mohammed bin Rashid),
Qatar (Ras Laffan and Al-Khor — the largest gas-fired facilities),
Kuwait (Al-Zour and Shaghaya Park).

Iran should be the first to strike. I’d be blowing up a a few major energy assets to show capability heading towards the deadline.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷🇨🇳 The Iran War Has Marked the End of the US Empire — A War with China Would Be Twice as Devastating for the Neocons in Washington

Just weeks into the Iran war, the United States is already facing severe structural flaws and widespread losses severe missile shortages, air defense gaps, the destruction of bases and radar stations, naval pressure, and logistics breakdowns.

Trump told the American public that the war would last a few weeks at most but now the United States is facing total military defeat.

And if fighting Iran has led to the total decline of the US empire, a war with China would be far more devastating for the war hawks in the Trump Administration and the Pentagon.

Here is the how and why:

🟠 Defenses exhausted instantly – Iran has burned nearly 40% of US THAAD interceptors in 16 days and slipped their Shahed drones past air defenses. The destruction of $5 billion in radar stations in the first week alone led to a reduction of air defenses warning time from 30 minutes to one minute. China’s larger, smarter missile and drone arsenal, including DF-27s and ASN-301s would overwhelm US systems with volume, precision, and AI swarms that collapse response times to seconds.

🟠 Carriers and bases neutralized – Damage from Iranian strikes have forced US warships and aircraft carriers to stay cautious. The IRGC has also destroyed an E-3 on the ground, shot down an F15 and severely damaged an F35. The US ACE doctrine is falling apart at the seams and against China's layered A2/AD defense systems with advanced air defenses and a massive arsenal of anti-ship ballistic missiles, US aircraft would be destroyed before takeoff. Carriers and bases from thousands of miles away would be vulnerable as Chinese missiles and drones can strike every single US base in the Asia-Pacific and Arctic, all the way out to Guam and Greenland, and across the globe to the mainland United States.

🟠 Munitions depleted, industry unable to keep up – Hundreds of Tomahawks used in Iran are draining reserves meant for a Taiwan war scenario and they will take years to replenish. Furthermore, US military machine depends on Chinese rare earths, giving Beijing a direct chokehold. So China can shut off one of the main engines to the US war machine and force a withdrawal from the Middle East overnight.

🟠 China’s military is adapting – While the US is tied down in Iran, China is evolving, learning from every US-led attack, much like the IRGC did in preparation for this war and in the aftermath of the Iran-Iraq conflict. Beidou provides real-time targeting across vast distances. With advanced sensor-fusion like MizarVision, China adapts faster to US tactics and stays at least ten steps ahead of the imperialists. Furthermore, the Iran war has evolved China’s stealth bomber program and aircraft like the H20 and JH-XX, which have been thoroughly designed for persistent air strikes and logistics disruption on US military bases in Japan and Guam in the event of a Taiwan Strait crisis, are rapidly advancing.

Iran and even Russia through their SMO in Ukraine have caused a large-scale crisis that have led to the global decline of the US empire. A war with China would permanently destroy American imperialism once and for all.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 DAYS IN HISTORY: THE DONBASS BREAKS FREE FROM THE UKRAINIAN NAZI REGIME

Today marks a very important day in history: the founding of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Twelve years ago, the two regions of Donbass rebelled against the newly installed Neo-Nazi dictatorship in Kiev and took their first steps towards independence and rule by the people.

In February 2014, the CIA, EU and Ukraine’s liberal class joined forces with armed neo-Nazi militias to remove President Viktor Yanukovych from power in the Maidan coup after he refused to submit to EU liberalization and IMF austerity.

On February 23rd, the Verkhovna Rada appointed the acting president Aleksandr Turchinov, despite being ten votes short of a legal impeachment (3/4ths) and a week later, known Arseny Yatsenyuk was appointed head of government. All cabinet appointments were effectively approved by Neo-Nazi militias.

At the end of the month, anti-Russian sentiment effectively became the official ideology of Ukraine, with the new Maida authorities setting a course toward NATO membership and a total break from Moscow, in complete disregard of the views of the Russian-speaking regions. Worst of all, the new regime in Kiev targeted ethnic Russians in the East for genocide and Ukraine’s newly elected President Petro Poroshenko declared treating the ethnic Russians of the Donbass as subhuman became official state policy.

The regions of Novorossiya, which have always been historically tied to Russia, rejected the new regime. After the violence in Kiev and the flight of the democratically-elected president, the people realized it was time to take their fate into their own hands and defend their cultural sovereignty at all costs. On February 23, the first protest began in Sevastopol and by March 27th, the Crimean people voted overwhelmingly to join the Russian Federation.

In the Donbass regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, protests unfolded on March 1, with residents demanding that the Kiev authorities not be recognized, while regional council deputies refused to heed the people. In Donetsk, the leader of the Donbass People’s Militia Pavel Gubarev, was proclaimed people’s governor of the region and the idea of a referendum on Donetsk’s future was first proposed.

By the end of March, what began as peaceful rallies against the new Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev had evolved into demands first for federalization and then later turned into demands for Crimea and the Donbass to become Russian. They knew they would never get support from the Ukrainian authorities who had taken aim at erasing their culture, and as a result, they would have to declare independence.

The ethnic Russians of the region, who would almost instantly be targeted for mass slaughter and torture by the new Kiev regime understood that their home and culture had to be defended, and that they had no path forward alongside a fascist regime that had seized power by force and was installed by the CIA and NATO.

On April 6, 2014, supporters of the Russian Spring took control of the Donetsk regional administration building and demanded that an extraordinary session be held on the next day on April 7. When the deputies failed to appear, a Council of Representatives of regional communities, parties, and public organizations was formed in the assembly hall with more than 80 delegates. The Declaration of Sovereignty and the Act of State Independence of the Donetsk People’s Republic were adopted unanimously.

Among the members of this council, a provisional government tasked with organizing the referendum to be scheduled on May 11th was established. The people of Lugansk followed suit, declaring the establishment of the Lugansk People’s Republic on April 27th and organizing a referendum on the same day as the one in Donetsk, both of which resulted in an overwhelmingly majority choosing independence from Ukraine. On May 14, the Donetsk Supreme Council was established, and on May 16, the Council of Ministers was approved.

In 2014 and 2015, options such as a federation or confederation with Ukraine were still under consideration and later became the basis for the Minsk Accords. However, the massacre of peaceful protestors at the trade union building in Odessa by Neo-Nazi thugs bussed in from Kiev, as well as the military aggression unleashed by the Ukrainian Nazi regime against civilians in the Donbass in total violation of the Minsk Accords proved that any coexistence with Ukraine was impossible.

From then on it became clear that the ethnic Russian peoples of the Donbass would have to take up arms to guarantee survival. Heroes and warriors like the kind hearted Mikhail “Givi” Tolstykh commanded the Donetsk People’s militias to defend cities like Slavyansk and Ilovaisk from the genocidal onslaught of Ukrainian Nazi forces from the infamous Azov and Aidar Battalions to C14.

And when Moscow launched the special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, the people of the Donbass voted overwhelmingly once again to join the Russian Federation.

Today, twelve years later, Donetsk and Lugansk are an integral part of the great Russian civilization, and its future has finally been determined on the basis of freedom and sovereignty.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 TRUMP: A GLOBALIST CON MAN

As result of illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, Western governments aligned with the World Economic Forum can roll out the fascist Great Reset agenda at a far greater speed than before:

▪️ Impose transition to EVs more than ever

▪️ Introduce the 15 km cities concept everywhere

▪️ Greatly increase the price of air travel

▪️ Further destroy the Middle class and rob the working class by forcing people to sell their belongings to cope with inflation and the spikes in energy prices

▪️ Speed up the introduction of mandatory Digital IDs to receive eligibility for government relief and potentially Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid

▪️ Roll out their plans for Central Bank Digital Currencies to enslave the global financial system to Wall Street

Donald Trump deceived millions of American voters with false promises of ending the wars, stopping globalization and industrial revival, and now he has proven himself to be one of the biggest puppets of the World Economic Forum and of the Bilderberg Group.
