US military buildup in the area around Iran over the past few days was
done with John Bolton claiming Iran was plotting a sneak attack on the
US. That was false, of course, and US officials are conceding that the
administration was “exaggerating” the threat to justify the buildup.
Having done that though, administration officials are still couching
everything in the language of war. Special representative on Iran Bryan
Hook told reporters today that Iran’s changes to its nuclear activities
violate “international norms,” and that the US is determined to put
“maximum pressure” on Iran.
Maximum pressure is exactly why the US claimed it thought an Iranian
attack was coming, and Hook continued to insist that any attack would be
“met with force.” In reality, there is no serious thought of Iran
attacking the US, and a lot of risk that the US is going to blunder into
the war on its own.
Iran’s nuclear changes were actually quite minor,
and both readily explained by US sanctions. Indeed, both moves were
specifically allowed under the P5+1 nuclear deal in the event a
signatory withdrew from the deal, and the US did.
While the US continues to try to advance the myth of Iranian aggression,
the reality is that the serious risk is the US trying to “preempt” Iran
by attacking them militarily. This seems a realistic threat, as the
Trump Administration’s narrative continues to center around them
anticipating using overwhelming force against Iran.
I wonder if people will blame the Jews if Trump attacks Iran…?????
This wins the Internet for the lamest attempt to germinate an idea in peoples’ heads.
I won’t blame the Jews. But I do blame the Zionist state and its supporters (including NeoCons, NeoLiberals and Christian evangelicals) who have been been agitating for war between the US and Iran for 20 years.
You forgot the Rothschilds, Skywalker. They’re the owners of Israel, which they founded. Of course, ordinary Jews have nothing to do with this crisis; but the Rothschilds, Trotskyists, NeoLiberals and Evangelicals are to blame for agitating for war between the US and Iran for 2 decades.
Since they’ve been agitating for war on Iran, let’s send them over there in Israeli Army uniforms, with only a rifle with one round of ammunition. It certainly would be a grand show to see them all shaking in their boots and soiling their pants as a large number of Quds soldiers confront them with bayonets pointed at the invaders’ chests:D
You certainly fantasize a lot about people shitting their pants at gunpoint. What’s up with that?
Yeah Sky, just me being cute.. As I have previously writen, when the antiwar movement began in response to the Vietnam War, It was the Jewish who provided the insight & planing, and without them there never would have been an antiwar movement or success? I was really speaking about the Zionist State and loosely called it the Jews. The 1s sniping children in Gaza. The 1s whow think it’s O.K. to take the land from people who’s forebearers have been on for 500 years. Similar to the germans treatment of the Jews there in Germany… during holocaust times…!!!!!
As shown in this article, a recent breach of Washington’s intelligence community security that was discovered by Iran should be of far greater concern than Iran’s alleged moves toward nuclear weapons.

It appears that the American intelligence network has learned little from the disaster of September 2001.
A planned event by Israel and the US could hardly be deemed ‘a disaster’. In fact, I’d say it was a resounding success, at least here in the USSA. Most around the world knew who really did 9/11. Americans just still continue to choose the lie over reality.
‘Another source familiar with the situation agreed that the Trump administration’s response was an “overreaction” but didn’t dispute that a threat exists. Gen. Qasem Soleimani—the head of the Quds Force, Iran’s covert action arm—has told proxy forces in Iraq that a conflict with the U.S. will come soon, this source noted.’
Telling the proxy forces that a conflict with the US will come soon isn’t a threat, it’s a statement of fact and is based on US rhetoric. When you have top US officials threatening war on a daily basis it would seem the prudent thing to do would be to make sure your forces were ready for an attack. And if the US wants to use threats as a reason to go to war we better hope like hell the rest of the world doesn’t get together and do the same against us since we are the king at threatening other countries.
Makow says Trump is an armageddonist.

Pence sure as hell is. These sick freaks are as deluded as the “The End Is Nigh!” sandwich board people in the 70s and 80s, only they’re in charge and believe it’s part of their moral and religious duty to kick off the End Times, as though an omnipotent God would need our help. I mean he created the Earth in 6 days flat by himself, amirite?
Israel, of course, is the only country allowed to interfere with US policies. Nobody else has the slightest desire to destroy Iran, which has committed no crime. “National Security Adviser” Bolton has never done any good deed in his life, and his appointment to Trump’s gang is typical.
This “strategy” is the seat of the pants move. Having been made fools off in Venezuela, something fast and furious is needed to replace Venezuela from the news. So, bombers are flying, carriers are moving.
Does Trump really has confidence in his foreign policy team? They are being called immature — at best — around the globe. Iran is not what they want. Iraq is what they want. To have it shut up about asking US troops to move out. By staying in Iraq, the idea is to prevent Iraq and Syria solving problems of their border together, the idea is to punish the tiny Lebanon for not following the script, and even otherwise docile Jordan, is showing signs of exasperation.
But what will happen is the following. Bolton and Pompeo will not be allowed to just talk up Iran, while leaning on Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Iran will not let them just talk — it will move its nuclear program forward. Foolish Europeans had ALL THE TIME ON EARTH to come up with the alternative payment system to avoid US sanctions. This was a joke, and Iran exposed their stupidity. Now it is time to move on. If the agreement was not good enough for US, it is not good enough for Iran as well. But by upping the game, US cannot settle comfy cozy in Iraq and start putting pressure around. Iran will demand attention, and other actors will demand US to clarify its mission, as opposed just sitting around.
Watch the North Korea scenario. Trump wanted the deal renegotiated, He should have stuck to that.
Again, unless Israel has convinced the US to join it in an attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel can’t afford a war with Iran until Hezbollah has been defanged.
The worry for me now is that the US has secretly agreed to attack Lebanon with Israel, and intends to use strategic bombers to destroy much of southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley. This is the one capability the US has which Israel doesn’t and it could theoretically enable Israel to reduce Hezbollah’s ability to threaten Israel in the even of an Iran war. It could also lead to an extension of the war into Syria, forcing Russia to either respond militarily against Israel and the US or give up what Russia has achieved in Syria over the last four years, thus risking WWIII.
im surprised there is nothing on the front page about the news out of syria, seems like big things are going on in southern idlib, and this might be the begining of the end, desprate neo-cons are going to have to act soon if they want to prevent the “land-bridge”

Israel is already saying that Iran is going to hit the US with an attack. Take it to the bank; Israel is getting prepared to do another 9/11 on its ‘ally’, the US.
Amazing how stupid the US population is, screaming for support to Israel who kills them….and gets $4 billion a month from suckers.

All bluff and bluster! Paper tiger, Iran is not a pushover country!
