  1. I've been trying to figure out what going on... What I think has happened: 1.Iran is an existential threat to both Saudi Arabia and Israel. Trump is closely aligned with both and has promised, behind closed doors to perform favors for both as they join forces to crush if not weaken Iran. Trump and his family are close personal friends to both MBS and Netanyahu. Netanyahu has even stayed in Trump's son-in law's house. (Jared Kushner). 2. In return these important connections/networks will massively benefit his political dynasty while he is alive and also after his death, through his children and his family. Trump's sons will likely have a great political future unless they are systematically killed off, like the Kennedys. 3.In essence the Trump family is like how the Kennedys, Bushes, and Clintons once were. 4.Trump's major donors and sources of corruption include both Saudi Arabia & the Jewish Lobby (via billionaire donors and zionist organizations. He is actually deeply bound by family (Jared Kushner) as MBS/Saudis have invested 2 billion dollars in Jared's private equity fund. Basically the Saudi Crown Prince has the Trump family by the balls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_Partners Right now Trump is in a bind of sorts. It is likely that the US will have to launch a sustained air operation of many waves of strikes to eliminate Iranian nuclear ability, which will massively increase risks that American servicemen will be shot down and killed/captured. Iran received the Russian S-300 a long time ago and possess Air-defense systems that can shoot down American aircraft. The problem with Trump committing to the air campaign is that it will further entrench the US into the Iran-Israeli war and also be a massive betrayal to his MAGA base. Overall I think Trump can live with that, as the billionaire donors and crown prince are much more valuable than millions of 'peons'.
  2. his channel exploded from 5 k followers to over 300K in 5 days and it's still growing. This teacher turned from an anonymous channel posting his class lectures on youtube to an influencer lol IMHO he overrates the spirituality and depth of Donald Trump but accurately characterizes his supporters as faith based/pseudo-religious (it doesn't matter if everything Trump says is a lie; that's besides the point) and backs it up with American social-political history & cultural indoctrination. He also goes into detail about Israeli & Iranian religious fanaticism that is fueling this conflict. Also his history courses are shockingly based/ red-pilled & politically incorrect (they would get an American professor/teacher fired in the US) apparently these lectures are taught at a private school designed to prepare Chinese students for college education in the US. He was educated at Yale. Interesting theory he has that the Iranian elite do actually want to fight the US to damage the American empire . They know that the US has wargamed a ground assault in Iran and lost their own wargames.
  3. Yeah, the elephant in the room is likely bogus claims that the B-2 strike was a strategic victory. Lying or massively inflated air force kill claims are the norm in every single war (Vietnam especially, same thing with the war on Terror (bogus unverified kill claims & achievements) because nobody is on the ground to verify facts from primary sources. They just make it up on after-action reports and it accepted as truth. Lying on reports is common in armies in general, not just American. It was likely just a tactical victory and it may have inflicted minimal damage at best. That's why Trump's minions was so eager to inflate the operation & why Trump is so adamant at disproving doubts to his claims. But it does seem that if the US wants a chance to cool down the conflict they started with Israel then they have to now lie as much as possible about the worthiness of the B-2 strike. Also, the movement of a US carrier group and all of those ships, and all the interceptors expended to support Israel, plus the air support and supporting Israel's opening operations has cost the US taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars.

  5. This video by this college professor is currently viral (explaining the corruption of MAGA & why Trump works for Israel's interests)
  6. The reality of the ceasefire has yet to be established since Trump's claims... He started this war by tweeting like the puppet of Israel/US MIC with boasting & threats (including regime change) and now that Iranian missiles are blowing up Israeli buildings he backtracks to "Man of Peace" mode...
  7. The US is currently participating in a War with Iran though? The B-2 mission & the AA cost a lot of funds and they just started. The ordinance they expended on the target is a high value asset and the US only has a small number of them. The Iranians have proven designs (in Ukraine) of missiles/drones designed to exhaust Western AA missile stockpiles and make it very expensive. The Patriot AA missile costs more than the missiles that are shot at it and usually a lot more than the object getting struck. If this conflict manages to end soon then it would be money worth spending but if it doesn't and the US has to constantly expend AA missiles/airstrikes in the middle east for years it would cost a lot.
  8. A big part of Missile warfare is forcing the enemy to expend AA missiles. So if Trump's (likely fraudulent) claim is true than if $10 million dollar PATRIOT missiles are expended it cost the taxpayer $130,000,000.
  9. Israel is directly supported by the US from a supply, intelligence, and recon standpoint- this means all are now considered legitimate targets by Iran. I don't think that it is in Iran's best interest to drag the US into this war further than the current situation. But certainly in the interests of Russia & China they could see Iran as their proxy to further weaken the United States.
  10. Iran starting firing missiles at US troops (Qatar)
