The state of the ‘no more wars’, ‘anti-deep state’, ‘world peace’ Presidency:

-Trump became the first President to bomb 7 countries in just one year

-Venezuela bombed, President and First Lady kidnapped

-Disastrous and destabilising war begun with Iran, with no end in sight

-Requested Congress to approve a $1.5 trillion 2027 budget for the Department of War, approximately a 50% increase, and a major gift to the military-industrial complex

All of Trump’s many criticisms of regime change wars were lies to get votes.

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: MEN IN DARK SUITS RULE THE US🇺🇸

‘When a person is elected, they may have some ideas. Then people with briefcases arrive, wearing dark suits. These people start explaining how things are done and instantly everything changes.’

The men in dark suits spoke to Trump, and told him war on Iran has been the plan since the Bush Administration, and that he better stick to the script.

New York Times analysis suggests that the Minab girls school massacre, which killed 165, was perpetrated by the US.

Your tax dollars and paying for the Epstein Class to bomb girls attending school. This same Epstein Class lectures the world on ‘human rights’.

🚨The Washington Post reports that US officials say Russia🇷🇺 is helping Iran target US forces

Any surprise if true? When the US provided Ukraine missiles and selected the targets for Zelensky to strike inside Russia, Vladimir Putin warned that two could play at the proxy war game and that Russia could supply long-range missiles to the US’ adversaries in response.

Russia does not want to recklessly cause a World War, so isn’t supplying Iran with long-range missiles (yet), but is reportedly making the US pay a reciprocal price for the Ukraine proxy war by providing Iran targeting intelligence for its own long-range missiles.

🚨Iran REJECTED mutual-defence pact with Russia🇷🇺. A FATAL mistake?

‘Russia and Iran do have a treaty on strategic partnership that was signed at the beginning of the year.

However, the treaty does not contain a clause that would have obligated the parties to come to the defence of each other in case either of them is attacked.

I believe that the Russians were proposing this clause when the treaty was being negotiated. But Iran at that time demurred.

I think they still put some weight on the potential outreach to the United States, to resume the nuclear talks with the US and get some agreement with the US, and maybe they thought that too close connection with Russia would not help them very much.’

-Dr. Dmitri Trenin, Member of Russia's Foreign & Defence Policy Council on Going Underground

🇺🇸Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “The Indians🇮🇳 have been very good actors, we had asked them to stop buying Russian oil & they did…now we have given them PERMISSION to accept Russian oil.”

Who is the US to give ‘permission’ to India to buy oil from Russia? This statement alone will anger tens, if not hundreds of millions of Indians.

The US’ imperial arrogance, expressed either in bombs or words, increases anti-American sentiment around the world every more and more with every day that passes.

Donald Trump: 'My father would tell me the most powerful lobby in this country is the Jewish lobby, it's the Israeli lobby. It's not that way anymore...you have a lot of people in Congress that don't like Israel.'

Will the ADL label Trump and his father as anti-Semites for talking about the power of the Israel lobby?

WAR ON IRAN: 'The American People DON'T Want This War' Afshin Rattansi Challenges Capt. James Fanell

🚨WAR ON IRAN: Afshin Rattansi vs Captain James Fanell on justifications for the US-Israeli crime of aggression

Capt. Fanell: ‘This is not new. Iran declared death to America in 1979 when they took our embassy, we lost 241 Americans in 1983.’

Afshin Rattansi: ‘That doesn’t really have anything to do with now. Surely you can detect that the Trump Administration mentioning that seems to be a belated attempt to justify the supreme crime of aggression?

Capt. Fanell: ‘I don’t forget these things, and the American people and military don’t forget these things.’

Afshin Rattansi: ‘Iran won’t forget the US supporting Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons attacks against Iranians, the US shooting down Iran Air Flight 655, or the Gaza genocide.

The Americans have negotiated with Iran while secretly thinking ‘we hate you’, what does that say about the progress of the war if the US’ motives are clouded by emotional history?’

US-Iran history they don’t teach you:

During the Iran-Iraq War, the US provided Saddam Hussein with battlefield intelligence while knowing Saddam was using chemical weapons against Iranians.

Two-thirds of all chemical weapons used by Iraq were used in the last 18 months of the war, when CIA-Iraq cooperation was strongest.

German companies were at the core of Saddam’s chemical weapons program. German firms helped construct facilities used in Iraq’s chemical weapons program under the guise of pesticide plants.

Germany supplied large quantities of precursor chemicals used to make mustard gas and nerve agents, and were one of the largest sources of technology and materials for the chemical weapons program.

🚨Why did Iran DENY attacks on Gulf States’ oil facilities?

‘That’s a classic deception move to cause division inside your alliance…it shows, again, there’s some degradation to their understanding of what’s going on outside of their own borders.

They have been severely struck at the national leadership levels, the IRGC levels, and their understanding in command and control communications.

So we talk about the kinetic side of this, but really we also need to comment about cyber and space and what information is actually getting inside Iran.’

-Captain James Fanell, former Director of Intelligence and Informations Operations of the US Pacific Fleet

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian APOLOGISES to Gulf States for attacks:

‘I would like to apologise to the neighbouring countries who have been attacked by Iran. We have no intention of transgressing into neighbouring countries, they are our brothers.

We made the decision yesterday in our temporary leadership council not to fire on neighbouring countries unless those countries want to attack us. This has been relayed to the armed forces.’

WAR ON IRAN: Afshin Rattansi and Capt. James Fanell CLASH on US targeting civilians

Captain James Fanell: ‘The thousands of people that are being killed in Iran are not being killed by the American bombs. They’re being killed by the Iranian regime. We don’t target civilians.’

Afshin Rattansi: ‘We know that’s not true…that sounds a bit like it’s from the follies in Vietnam.’

Captain James Fanell: ‘No, we do not target civilians. I know that.’

Afshin: ‘Why did Pete Hegseth say repeatedly “we are investigating” when it came to the mass carnage at the elementary school in southern Iran?…there are hospitals and schools all across Iran that are being reportedly hit.

Why didn’t Hegseth admit it was a ‘mistake’? Why avoid the subject?’

Capt. Fanell: ‘He doesn’t know the facts, and he’s waiting for the facts to come in. It could be an errant weapon…we don’t know the details. What I said, and I’ll stand by it, because I did this as a target intelligence officer, we abide by the law of armed conflict. And we do not target civilian populations in any way, shape, or form.’

Afshin: ‘Seymour Hersh is a friend of the show. And I think we’ve seen the United States’ history on civilians targeting as anyone who’s read his books will know.’

The IRIB has released a collage of photos of all of the 175 Iranian children killed by the US’ bombing of the girl’s school in Minab, Iran.

This is Donald Trump’s legacy: the murder of children in an illegal war of aggression for Israel.

🚨Captain James Fanell, former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations of the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet claims that the US🇺🇸 is using its bases in the Gulf States for its war on Iran.

The UAE🇦🇪, Saudi Arabia🇸🇦, and other Gulf States categorically deny that the US is using bases on their territory for the US’ war on Iran, and denied the US permission to use the bases for operations against Iran before the war began.

ICYMI, UAE’s🇦🇪 Al Habtoor Group Founding Chairman Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor’s open letter to Trump:

‘Your Excellency President Donald Trump,

A direct question: Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?

Did you calculate the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? And did you consider that the first to suffer from this escalation will be the countries of the region!

The peoples of this region have the right to ask as well: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressure from Netanyahu and his government?

You have placed the countries of the GCC and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?

For before the ink has dried on the Board of Peace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go? And what is the fate of the commitments made in the name of peace?

Most of the funding proposed in those initiatives came from the countries of the region themselves, and from Arab Gulf countries that contributed billions of dollars on the basis of supporting stability and development. And these countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? And are we funding peace initiatives or funding a war that exposes us to danger?

More dangerous than that is that your decision does not threaten the peoples of the region alone, but also reaches the American people whom you promised peace and prosperity. And here they are today, finding themselves in a war funded from their money and taxes, with its cost ranging—according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS)—between $40-65 billion for direct military operations, and potentially reaching $210 billion including economic impacts and indirect losses if it lasts four to five weeks, not to mention the sacrifice of Americans themselves in a war in which they have neither camel nor she-camel.

You have even broken your promises not to get involved in wars and to focus only on America and put it at the top of your priorities, as you ordered foreign military interventions during your second term that included seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. You directed more than 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, which equals the total strikes in Biden's entire term, for which you directed your arrows of criticism at him for dragging the United States into foreign wars.

Your Excellency the President, these figures have severely reflected on your approval ratings among Americans, which have declined since your inauguration for the second term, by about 9% in just 400 days.

These numbers say something clear: Even within the US, there is growing concern about being dragged into a new war, and about exposing the lives of Americans, their economy, and their future to unnecessary risks.

True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace. And if these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right today to demand full transparency and clear accountability.’

🚨WAR ON IRAN: No imminent nuclear threat from Iran against the US

Afshin Rattansi: ‘If Iran had a nuclear bomb and threatened to use one, you’re saying the Americans would still continue bombing Iran?

Captain James Fanell: ‘I don’t know how they could use one. I don’t believe that we think they have the capability to suddenly take something that was so severely degraded in June and, under duress in this kind of environment, figure out how to miniaturise it, weaponise it, put it on a warhead, and have any possibility of successfully delivering it.’

Afshin Rattansi: ‘So there was no imminent threat.’

Captain James Fanell: ‘I would say that right now there’s no imminent threat. Who knows about before February 28th.’

It was about stealing Iran’s oil, not a nuclear threat:

‘What we want to do is get such massive oil reserves out of the hands of terrorists.’

The WMD justifications were copy and pasted from 2003; overtly imperialist and packaged simplistically to manufacture consent.

Afshin Rattansi: ‘Only 27% of the American people, according to Reuters/Ipsos, supported Trump starting this war on Iran.

That’s less than the roughly 29% approval a President had towards the end of the Vietnam War in 1973 under Nixon. People in the United States, don’t want this war.

There’s no sign of any imminent nuclear weapon according to the IAEA…

Clearly the cost to the United States, the cost to Western Europe, even if the war was won quickly, would be enormous.

Thousands and thousands of civilians in Iran have been killed, and the relatives of those people won’t forget it when it comes to future asymmetric warfare. Why did Trump do this?’

Captain James Fanell: ‘I would say first of all that I’ve seen other polls that show he’s got support and that it’s growing, especially as we become more successful.’

Why did Donald Trump go to war with Iran?

For the same reason George W. Bush went to war with Iraq.

For the same reason George H. W. Bush went to war with Iraq.

US🇺🇸 victory in Iran would mean that the US can pivot to the Pacific for the first time and focus on China🇨🇳.’

-Captain James Fanell, former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations of the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet

Approximately 313 US military bases surround China. In Washington’s war on the multipolar world, China could be next.
