🇮🇱🇱🇧 The scale of Israel's destruction of towns in south Lebanon is WILD Why is the world sitting back and letting this happen?

Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet tells investors the US-Israeli war on Iran and assaults across the region are a "golden opportunity" Lockheed tested its new Precision Strike Missile on a girl's volleyball game in Lamerd, Iran on Feb 28, killing and wounding dozens

Here are two easy ways of knowing we're being completely controlled by Israel. Israel wanted us to attack seven of their neighbors so they could be the only regional superpower - and we attacked all seven. It costs us $8 trillion, and counting. Israeli settlers and IDF have killed 10 Americans in the last three years and we haven't asked for anyone to be arrested for those murders. And no one has been arrested. They're literally allowed to kill our citizens. If you think these things are normal, you're either an escaped mental patient or you're a mainstream media reporter.

BREAKING Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Aadshit al-Qusayr, South Lebanon right now — during a ceasefire. Civilian homes. No justification. Just deliberate terror and destruction to ensure civilians have nothing left to return to. A war crime in broad daylight.

“We lied about Vietnam. We lied about Iraq. We lied about Afghanistan. We lied about Somalia. We lied about Libya..” Former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell exposes the dark reality of US foreign policy and how American weapons ended up in the hands of terrorist groups.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israelis do not pay for the weapons "we sell them," rather American taxpayers pay for them - Quincy Institute Most US arms "sales" to Israel are conducted through the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program. This aid is like a gift card for purchasing weapons. What appears to be an arms sale is in practice funded by American taxpayers.

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

Got to come up with money to replace all those missiles Trump is shooting at fishing boats and elementary schools.

@glenn_tunes And the obvious truth is that no one in this administration understands or knows the definition of a just war.

During Trump's second term: - Jared Kushner became a billionaire - the net worth of his 3 sons exponentially skyrocketed - Baron Trump now worth $120m Much if not most came from huge cash infusions from the Persian Gulf tyrannies. [Hunter Biden got $50k/month from Burisma]

Washington Still Doesn’t Understand Iran Yet again, we are seeing evidence of how poorly Washington understands the Iranian regime. The persistent belief that a single decisive move like a naval blockade, strikes on critical infrastructure, or even the targeted killing of senior officials, could fundamentally change Tehran’s behavior reflects a profound misreading of the system. This point cannot be stressed enough: when faced with a choice between conceding to U.S. demands or escalating a confrontation it believes it can manage and even win, Iran’s decision is not difficult to predict. It will not capitulate. There is no scenario in which one dramatic move forces the Iranian regime to raise a white flag. Not pressure campaigns, not military actions, and not symbolic shows of force. And yet, American policy repeatedly searches for that elusive “silver bullet” meaning a single action that will deliver a quick, decisive victory. That search is bound to fail. This is the core of the Iranian challenge. It is not simply a question of power, but of patience, strategic culture, and fundamentally different assumptions about time and success. Iran is prepared for prolonged confrontation; the United States, far less so. #iran

At a broad level, it’s important to acknowledge a hard truth: this war is a textbook case of the old saying - "Strategy must precede action" The underlying assumption in the US and Israel was that weakening Iran kineticly would eventually lead to the collapse of the regime and that a sustained U.S.-Israeli campaign, targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, could trigger systemic change thay will change the Middle East. But this war overlooked a critical variable: the Islamic Republic of Iran is a different kind of actor. Traditional cost-benefit calculations don’t apply in the conventional sense. Moreover, the war has generated second-order effects that have made the strategic landscape more complex — not less. From Iran’s growing assertiveness around the Strait of Hormuz, to the hardening of its internal decision-making processes, to the rising influence of Mojtaba Khamenei and the expanding dominance of the IRGC, the Iranian system has, in many ways, become more rigid and more ideological. These dynamics are pushing the administration into a narrowing set of options, none of them good. The choice increasingly looks like this: accept a deal that is, in essence, a strengthened version of the previous nuclear agreement, or return to military escalation that carries significant regional risks without guaranteeing meaningful change in Iran’s behavior. In effect, this war has helped shape what could be called “Islamic Republic 3.0” — a system forged not only through pressure, but also through strategic miscalculation. While the regime may have been weakened militarily and economically, it has, paradoxically, been strengthened internally, particularly among its core base. This may well be the campaign’s most significant strategic miscalculation. The protests inside Iran had left the regime increasingly exposed, struggling to respond to public demands, led by an aging and ailing supreme leader. There was a moment of internal vulnerability. Yet the campaign, despite its tactical achievements, has given the regime a renewed sense of purpose at a time when it was fighting for its political future. Instead of weakening it from within, it has helped consolidate its base and rally its supporters. It remains unclear how this will end. But at this stage, one conclusion is difficult to avoid: alongside tactical gains, the war has produced a more challenging strategic environment for Iran’s neighbors, for Israel, and for the United States. And most importantly, Iran’s leadership has no intention of capitulating. Neither pressure nor escalation is likely to force a deeply ideological regime to abandon its foundational principles. There is no decisive blow. No silver bullet. Only two realistic paths remain: a deal that looks remarkably similar to what Iran was willing to consider before the war — or an expanded conflict with no clear endgame. This is the reality. #IranWar‌

Israel is holding talks with the Christian and Sunni leaders of the Lebanese government, talks opposed by Shia leaders. As map of sectarian divisions shows, this is more likely to lead to cleansing the Shia from the south and civil war than peace.

BREAKING NEWS: Iran announce an open of Strait of Hormuz, through the cease-fire period , which is next Wednesday. This indicates back channel diplomacy has continued between Washington and Tehran, and after the securing of the cease-fire in Lebanon, there is now more space for a diplomatic end to this insane war. The question remains now, will both sides take advantage of this opportunity, and most importantly of all: what will the US side be willing to concede in order to end the war, and what will Iran concede to end the war? One thing is for certain, if the US stays in its zero-give mentality, only demanding, the war will resume after the cease-fire period ends. Iran will never go back to the submissive state that does what it’s told. We’ll find out if Washington realizes that or not.

Witkoff–Kushner wasn’t diplomacy, it was optics. Two inexperienced envoys, misreading Iran, feeding Trump distorted assessments - and helping pave the road to war. Negotiations on paper. Escalation in reality.
