Now, there are four groups with very different perspectives on Israel and American sovereignty.
1. The Noticers. People who realize Israel controls our government and media. Thank God, this is the majority of Americans now!
2. Israel First. Aggressive propagandists and bullies who try to intimidate everyone else into compliance with Israel.
3. The Zombies. People who still watch cable news and think Israel is a special ally who needs our money and military in order to save Western Civilization. Poor saps.
4. The Cowards. People who know what's going on, but don't want to risk their careers. They're afraid that Israel First brownshirts will have them fired if they don't comply. This is the majority of national media.
If you went back in time to the Cold War and told anyone at all that the US would be able to strike the Kremlin via Ukraine using drones, or blow up their refineries -- without any response from Russia, let alone nuclear weapons flying, they would truly laugh in your face.
‼️🤣 It's now reported Trump didn't mean US warships will escort commercial shipping through the strait.
So apparently he just means to threaten Iran that if they interfere with normal traffic, they will be "dealt with forcefully".
Bold words for a man with a toothless navy.
There may very well be a depth of Chinese wisdom, or an intricate Iranian chess move at play that we're not aware of yet — but generally, in the Western mindset and geostrategy, if there's no equal or greater response to make the cost of war unbearable, the aggression will continue, and it has.
Here's Trump again trying to trick the market by signaling that the Strait of Hormuz will open soon! Same old manipulative tricks with no practical impact on the actual situation in the strait.
🇮🇷 Iran says they’ve rebuilt 12,000 homes destroyed in the war.
The same week they said the war will probably restart.
They're not rebuilding because they think it's over. They're rebuilding so the cameras show progress before round two begins.

Hezbollah, at its first stage of the war, is not looking to reconquer the occupied land but to inflict the maximum casualties on the occupier. The focus is on making sure that the Israelis cannot rest anywhere they occupy and raise the human cost on benjamin netanyahu, an ICC fugitive for war crimes, sending a clear message that he has failed in achieving the long-promised objective to eliminate Hezbollah.
If a country had assassinated the US president, do you think the US would respond by negotiating with them?
What about if someone threatened Washington's fuel supply, or hit their refineries?
Many don't want to admit it but Russia, China, Iran have failed to establish and maintain a red line and proper deterrence against Western attacks.
