‘No trannies, no beardoes, no weirdos’…and now potentially no job.

The odious Pete Hegseth, one of the architects of the disastrous war on Iran, who fanatically worshipped ‘death and destruction’ being rained down upon Iran, is now reportedly about to be blamed by Donald Trump for the midterm cataclysm the Republicans faced.

After firing endless amounts of Generals for being ‘too woke’ and anyone who disagreed with the foolish war on Iran, now the proverbial knives are out for Hegseth, as Trump reportedly questions members of his administration about Hegseth’s performance as War Secretary.

For months on end, he propagated the delusion to Trump that the US’ hard power would be enough to defeat Iran, which had been preparing for 4 decades on imposing asymmetric warfare and a catastrophic price on the US that it wouldn’t forget if it attacked Iran.

Aside from Israeli genocidal war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, Pete Hegseth was one of the most vocal backers of the war on Iran. Donald Trump was delusional enough to believe him.

After emptying out the US’ arsenal of interceptors, dropping tens of thousands of bombs, and bringing ‘death and destruction, all day long’, none of the US’ war goals were achieved.

The regime change uprising was nowhere to be seen

Ayatollah Khamenei was replaced by Ayatollah Khamenei

Iran’s missile and drone arsenal is still intact

250 days of bombing has done nothing to restore the Strait of Hormuz back to its pre-war state

Iran still refuses to abandon its red lines and will not bend to Washington’s demands

Hegseth sought regime change in Tehran and got regime change in Washington instead. And now despite his obsession with testosterone levels, not even TRT or Trenbolone may be able to save him from the wrath of Trump, who now must see the disaster he was led into.

Donald Trump, on if the war on Iran was worth it, after the worst Republican midterm defeat since 1974 and his political movement being sent into oblivion:

‘Yes, you have no choice. Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon.’

The Netanyahu-induced delusions continue uninterrupted.

Tucker Carlson SLAMS Mark Levin & Ben Shapiro:

‘Everybody knew there was going to be a Republican wipeout because of the war in Iran…this is not the first war they argued us into. It’s not even the third war they argued us into. The US is BANKRUPT because of these wars.’

Russian🇷🇺 police smother anti-government protesters in tear gas in a bid to stop them…

Actually, it’s the police in France🇫🇷 using tear gas against mass anti-government protesters so this footage won’t receive wall-to-wall coverage on NATO nation media.

🇬🇧 ICYMI, more British economic foolishness:

The UK’s Central Bank has raised the base interest rate to 4%, as Britain’s working classes already struggle with debt and the cost of living.

Interest rates are normally raised due to inflation caused by accelerating demand and spending, the exact opposite is happening now as Britain’s real wages continue to decline.

The inflation is being driven overwhelmingly by supply shocks: the US’ and Israel’s war on Iran and the damage to energy infrastructure, Britain’s sanctions on Russian energy (self-sanctions), and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries.

The raising of the interest rate will do absolutely nothing to stop inflation, and will only cause a decrease in investment, a worse cost of living crisis, and even higher costs for small businesses.

All indicators show that British aggregate demand and consumer spending are falling behind inflation.

Either the officials at the Bank of England foolishly follow economic dogma blindly, or they are purposely worsening the cost of living crisis and the economic misery experienced by millions.

The British people struggle and get poorer, and the Bank of England accelerates the process.

Donald Trump on War Secretary Pete Hegseth:

'I think he's doing a fantastic job. Everybody was a four-star General, many of those people were woke. I don't like a woke General.’

Clearly Donald Trump prefers Generals who drag him into strategic defeats for Washington and disastrous quagmires instead.

Brandon Weichert: ‘J.D. Vance showed no TESTICULAR FORTITUDE, didn’t stand up to Donald Trump over the Iran war when he needed to.’

‘He’s not demonstrated, when we needed him to be bold and loud and to stand up to the President, not just behind the scenes at the margins, to tell the President this is not the way, and if necessary, doing what Joe Kent did and resign.

He didn’t. He didn’t show any, as Bobby Jones would say, any testicular fortitude there. And he’s a Marine, so he should have. He should have.

I think, if anything, he will be a caretaker President, a la Gerald R. Ford, and then it will go to John Ossoff, likely. The Democrats, I think the Democrats are going to be running this country for the next 10 years.’

🚨 NEW EPISODE OF GOING UNDERGROUND ⚡️

Brandon Weichert: Trump’s War on Iran SUPER-CHARGED China. China is DECISIVELY WINNING.

https://rumble.com/v7hxvmq-brandon-weichert-trumps-war-on-iran-super-charged-china.-china-is-decisivel.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Brandon Weichert: ‘Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was CO-PRESIDENT of the US for much of the last 25 YEARS.’

‘If you met Netanyahu, you would think he was a guy from New York, and he talks the way Trump does in a way. They understand each other. They do business with each other, really.

Eisenkot sounds foreign. He comes from the military. He’s very stiff. He doesn’t have that same personality, that same verve, that Netanyahu does.

He doesn’t have the understanding of the American political system. Netanyahu was basically co-President for the last 25 years, on and off, here in the United States. Eisenkot doesn’t have any of that experience.

Could you imagine Eisenkot going before Congress to give a state of the union for the US-Israeli relationship?

I’m happy to see Netanyahu go, but we have to also remember Eisenkot created the Dahiya doctrine. So it’s not like this guy is going to be some wallflower when it comes to the Palestinian Arabs.

He might not be pro-Iran war because he thinks the Israelis don’t have the military capacity to do the things they want to do against Iran. However, he’s not going to treat the Palestinian Arabs any better than Netanyahu did.’

Reminder, Benjamin Netanyahu in 2001:

‘With the US, I know how they are, America is something you can easily manoeuvre and move in the right direction.’

Iraq, Syria, Libya, Iran, the Gaza genocide…the list goes on.

Netanyahu steered American foreign policy from one disaster to another over the last two and a half decades.

Israeli power over American foreign policy became so blatant and odious with the war on Iran that the American people finally saw through the non-stop pro-Israeli media propaganda and rejected it in its entirety.

Brandon Weichart: ‘China is decisively WINNING the silent race against US🇺🇸. The Iran War has SUPERCHARGED China🇨🇳.’

‘The Iran war did not hurt China the way that Mar-a-Lago thought it would. The Iran war has supercharged China, and they now have the ability to be self-sufficient in key areas.

They now appear to be more attractive, which as trade partners, which is one of the reasons why Latin America has been pivoting for years to China.

That’s now, even though there’s this right-wing push in Latin America, you have people like Milei in Argentina, they’re still doing gobs of business with China and they’re not going to stop anytime soon.

So China appears as the more stable, rational actor which makes them more appealing for trade. So all of this works in their favour in terms of the sort of the silent race between China and the United States.

China is decisively winning.’

The US🇺🇸 neocon deep state launched the long-planned war on Iran to weaken China🇨🇳…and fatally shot the US empire instead.

The plan was to choke off Iranian oil exports to China, and eliminate a core part of China’s Silk Road. With the elimination of the Iranian government and installing of a puppet regime, the plan was to return Iran decisively to its pre-1979 status as a US vassal state.

Instead, the fantasies of regime change went up in smoke as the Iranian government became more hardline with the arrival of Mojtaba Khamenei to power. The plan to neutralise Iran, a key part of the Silk Road, has failed, and Russia and China are already planning for the future after war.

China simply deployed its massive petroleum reserves, and diversified its supplies, increasing imports from countries like Russia, Iraq, and Brazil.

The goal was to put pressure on China’s economy, and instead the US and its European vassals suffer from rising inflation and their governments appear increasingly fragile from the anger of their populations stemming from the rising cost of living.

China’s year-on-year inflation after this Epstein coalition disaster? 0.9%.

Aside from completely failing to attack China’s economy through Iran, the US has destroyed whatever remained of its soft power. The GCC states are understandably fed up, trying to pull Washington back from the brink of restarting a war they had no interest in and did not ask for.

While China brought the gulf region peace and economic development with the Saudi-Iran normalisation agreement in 2023, leading to an era of peace and cooperation, all the US brought the region was chaos, war, and destruction.

The rest of the world sees the desperation of Washington’s declining empire; willing to throw the entire world into chaos and economic crisis to try and fail to keep its hegemony together.

China is viewed as the source of business, trade, predictable international stability and economic development.

The US is viewed as a dangerous, violent rogue state. China continues to ascend, the US empire continues to degenerate into chaos.

Brandon Weichert: ‘CENTCOM Chief Brad Cooper is basically an IDF OFFICER in an American uniform. He may REPLACE Pete Hegseth.’

‘I have talked to people who knew him…I’ve been told that he wanted to be the guy that the war happened under with Iran, the great Iranian threat, according to him, has to be dealt with.

So he was the guy that was chosen because he’s so, just such a hard charger about the war with Iran. He’s such a supporter of it, but he’s also very political. He’s extremely political, and he has ambitions beyond being CENTCOM commander.

So I could foresee, given his very good relationship with the President and some of the top people in the administration. If Hegseth goes, he will be replaced, I think, either by Brad Cooper or General Caine, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is very much not in favour of the war. Although, like J.D., you wouldn’t know it.

General Caine might be on his way out, and they might promote Cooper to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But I think that Cooper, especially in the next two years, I think Cooper will probably receive an elevation either to War Secretary or to the JCS.’​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Reminder: Israeli asset CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper refused to take responsibility for the bombing of the Minab Girls’ School strike which killed 160+ on the first day of the war on Iran.

The fake ‘investigations’ continue as American war criminals such as Brad Cooper continue to be unaccountable after mass murdering Iranian children.

After his campaign of mass murdering children, Brad Cooper now has a ‘Inside CENTCOM’ podcast where he whitewashes CENTCOM’s image.

Brandon Weichert: ‘Donald Trump has brought up using NUCLEAR WEAPONS against Iran A LOT, the generals are constantly having to distract him.’

‘I have been very worried. The N-word, nuclear war, has been a real nightmare of mine since about July…

And the reason I was saying this back then is because people I still talk to in government were saying the President is bringing it up a lot with the joint chiefs, with the generals, and the generals are constantly having to change the subject like you would with a toddler.

Like, “Oh, look at that, oh, look at that, we’ll use the MOAB instead.” That’s scary, and it means it’s on his mind, and we don’t want to have a President where that’s top of mind, particularly in an offensive capacity.

But I watched the midterm results and they’re so decisive, there’s such a rebuke of this thing, whatever you want to call MAGA now, “Make Israel Great Again,” I think is what we should call it.

You can’t help but say the President is done for. If he continues on as President for two years, which I don’t know if he will, if he continues on for the next two years, he’s basically a hostage of the Democrats in a gilded cage called the White House.

He’s going to watch as the Democrats hollow out his administration. Bye-bye, Pete Hegseth. And he’s also worried about his future in terms of legal ramifications.’

Iran has announced it has officially lifted its self-imposed 2000KM limit on the range of its ballistic missiles, according to IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi.

Another own-goal for the US. Instead of neutralising Iran and turning it into a vassal state, Iran will now possess an even more dangerous and lethal arsenal of missiles, with Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles now on the table.

The war of aggression imposed on Iran, the genocidal threats of civilisational destruction, and the reported consideration of the use of nuclear weapons by the President has now pushed Iran towards increasing its capabilities, and there isn’t much Washington can do about it.

Iran’s knowledge and expertise in ballistic missile technology is well known, and with the limit lifted, it won’t be long before an ICBM test. If the war on Iran continues, Iran’s threats of a war without geographical limits will be realised, and US bases even outside of the Middle East could be hit.

Another disastrous result of delusional neocon foreign policy.

Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 should WALK AWAY from any Taiwan conflict with China🇨🇳. It may NOT even be winnable militarily.’

‘I don’t want to attack China…I have always talked about a defensive measure in our part of the world and then cooperation where we can with China.

I’ve written at the National Interest years ago that the first island chain we should walk away from, because it’s not winnable militarily.

I don’t even know if all the Taiwanese people really are as anti-China as we’re led to believe.

On the midterm election results, I got a message from some one of one of our regulars in China who’s a big investor in Shanghai and he sent me an email saying the Chinese have a two-year window to further insulate themselves from any potential tariffs that the next American President might want to subject them to…

And I think that the way the Chinese are viewing this is smart they’re viewing this as the American system’s going to be at the very least gridlocked for the next two years. Nothing’s going to get done.

Anything in terms of foreign policy happens is all going to be directed at the Middle East and Europe.

This is another window of opportunity for the Chinese to shore up their further defences and trade, and then to come, you know, to the new two years from now, come at it from a position of even greater strength.’

Brandon Weichert: ‘Trump-Putin-Xi Summit will be a MEANINGLESS PHOTO-OP. The Ukraine proxy war will continue because the CIA is ROGUE.’

‘If this trilateral summit happens at all it’ll be nothing. It’ll be meaningless because Trump’s a lame duck. Anything he said, and by the way, he’s agreement incapable as Lavrov said. This is true.

Even without losing the majorities in Congress, he was always agreement incapable because he’s surrounded by pro-Ukraine neocons. So the idea that the trilat will be anything other than a photo-op.

But Ukraine in particular is not the President’s war. He clearly has given orders to de-escalate, and CIA is doing whatever they want because CIA is rogue under this President. No one has the ability to rein CIA in.

And having Ratcliffe, who’s deeply compromised and weak, and in agreement with the war, having Ratcliffe as the top of the agency allows the CIA bureaucracy to run wild while Ratcliffe runs interference. So the Ukraine war will continue.

As for the Democrats, this is where in terms of foreign policy, they’re right on the Middle East. They’re way off on Ukraine…

So you have a lot of problems in terms of getting the Democrats to be reasonable on the Ukraine war. So in that way, yes it’s more worrying.

However, I do not believe the Russians will use nuclear weapons, even if the war continues. I think that Putin has been much more even-handed in this than the Americans have been.’

Russia’s🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Ukraine:

‘Our conscience is clear. Russia accepted the US’ offer that was made at the Anchorage Summit. It is not our fault that the US could not withstand the unprecedented pressure from Europe.’

Trump is incapable to make an agreement and do the necessary work to honour its commitments. He could rein in the European vassal states by exercising the enormous leverage the US has to end the proxy war…

Instead the neocons around him sold him the idea of the Ukraine proxy war as a profiteering opportunity for the military-industrial complex, by transforming the aid effort for Zelensky into Europe purchasing the arms from Washington to send to Ukraine, instead of free deliveries.

Trump, like many other Presidents before him, is incapable of reining in the CIA, which has directly disobeyed his orders for de-escalation, and instead has pursued its own policy of continuing the proxy war and ignoring the President.

Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 was NOT supposed to be an adventurous IMPERIAL POWER going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’

‘The reason I wrote the book is because last year, the Trump administration announced in their National Security Strategy memo and then again in their National Defense Strategy memo: judge us by the wars we don’t fight, not the wars we do fight. That’s what they said.

And we were going to be focusing, they said, on the Western Hemisphere.
Now, obviously, the Donroe Doctrine is not what I had in mind, but the idea that we were going to be doing Western Hemispheric defence on top of focusing on domestic issues here in the United States, that was what I thought was the Trump agenda, the Trump doctrine, if you will.

But then by February 28th, as you know, the whole thing changed. It’s as if the President didn’t even read his National Security Strategy memo.
So I felt compelled to write a book that reminded readers why we are not supposed to be this expeditionary, adventurous imperial power, going abroad in search of monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams once famously said, and we are supposed to be focused much closer to home.

And now it’s a tripolar system internationally, trending multipolar. You could already say it is multipolar, but really there’s three main powers right now that are military and economic, and that’s the United States, China, and Russia.

We need to have a better strategy than the one we’ve been using since 1991, because that one was predicated on hegemony. Well, we can’t be a hegemon anymore.

We have spheres of influence, and we’re going to need to enforce the spheres of influence. China’s doing that in their part of the world. Russia’s doing that in their part of the world. We haven’t been doing it in our part of the world.

And the key thing here is when I say enforce the sphere of influence, it’s not military first. It’s not send CIA paramilitaries to a country we don’t like in Latin America and knock off the country. The whole currency of the realm in 21st century international affairs is geoeconomics. It’s trade.

First and foremost, it’s the economy, and so you have to be able to make your first point of contact in terms of foreign policy the economic front. The United States used to be good at this.

This was what the founders wanted us to do. I quote George Washington effusively in the book. This goes back to the founding, a commercial republic, and that’s what we need to go back to. And unfortunately, under this President, we’ve lost sight of that completely.’

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs:

"How many wars has China🇨🇳 been in, in the last 40 years? Let me count them…zero. Not one war in 40 years.”

The US has been at war and bombing other countries for approximately 229 years out of 250 years of its existence.

92% of the time throughout its existence, the US has been bombing, pillaging, stealing, and invading.
