I am praying for Russia's victory over Ukraine in total, leaving to a rump Ukrainian leadership only that which Russia does not want to have. And I pray for the Iranians to achieve total victory over Israel. I read your previous articles and have "saved" both Unz Review articles on Israel the Compulsive Assassin. The state of mind of people who believe themselves to be "untouchable because they're special" is anathema to all other people who strive to live by the golden rule of doing unto others as you would have others do unto you. Israel will get its come-uppance, as will the United States, and deservedly so.
When hearing of the B2 bomber attacks on 6/21 I was immediately put off by the "fact" that none of the B2's were reportedly shot down or even shot at. This, for me, was the "the Dog That Didn't Bark". You see in order for the B2’s to drop these unguided “Bunker Busters they have to be approximately over the target which is roughly in the middle of the country. And with Iran’s excellent air defense system this would have been a *very* risky maneuver. For all of them to have returned from their mission without a scratch is an unlikely miracle. Well now there seems to be a simple, easy answer to this apparent mystery. They were unharmed because they never got in “harm’s way”. IE: the mighty B2 megabombers *never entered Iranian airspace*. And they *never dropped their fearsome BunkerBusters*. Anywhere.
Analysts Armchair Warlord (@ArmchairW) & Will Schryver (@imetatronink) are posting pics that show no "Bunker Buster" craters at the primary nuclear site but, instead, show 6' dia holes as would be made by the Tomahawk Cruise Missiles that were safely fired from US subs off the coast of Iran. Also @MenchOsint has posted before & after pics of the tunnel entrances that show how the Iranians, knowing that attacks were coming, filled in the tunnel entrances with dirt. The "after bombing" pics look NO DIFFERENT than the before bombing photos. In other words the this “attack” - which Iran was notified about well in advance - was accomplished *solely* by relatively small sub-launched Tomahawks against piles of dirt a safe distance away from the blocked off tunnel entrances. It was a Make Believe Obliteration.
In other words the B2’s that flew west to Guam (as a “diversionary tactic”) as well as the B2’s that secretly flew east to (supposedly) Iran were BOTH obscenely expensive “diversionary tactics”. And since both Iran and Israel knew this then who was the intended audience for this dog & pony show? The yahoos who drank the MAGA koolaid? Who didn't want it to happen at all?
And today, as previously arranged behind the scenes, Iran fired 6 small missiles at US bases in the area, causing no damage. So apparently this 1st stage of the Iran War Dog & Pony Show ™ is complete.
Iran’s initial wariness of Russia is well founded on a peculiarity of Russia not often talked about, Russian Jews and their relationship with Israeli Russian Jews.
I’m personally aquatinted with the fact that many foreign chapters of Putin’s ‘Night Wolves’ are led by Russian Jews.
The ironic things is that it was Russian Jewish Oligarchs that plundered the fallen Soviet Union which put great stress on the new emerging Russia and it was not until Putin became president that Russia began to recover.
I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.
Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump might want to have a listen to MTG! Make room for Marjorie, Thomas! If voting mattered she’d have my vote in ‘28:
"Let me be very clear," said Greene. "My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future. And their future and their entire generation’s future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR."
"I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL."
I think the goal of these recent attacks is regime change, but in Israel not Iran. The US engaged in a fake attack last Saturday and today Iran is responding with a fake attack on US bases. Both parties were given advanced noticed and used that heads-up to move out personnel and important equipment as part of a charade, and these attacks were to appease public opinion in their respective countries. The war of attrition with Israel will continue until Netanyahu is removed from office and a new regime takes over. Trump now has cover to walk away from both Ukraine and the MidEast wars. My guess is that Netanyahu ends up in prison and Zelensky gets terminated by his Nazi bodyguard.
Ritter is so enamored of his knowledge of NPT guidelines & his "I was an inspector" concept that Iran made a "mistake" in enriching to 60%, that he advocates, repeatedly, i.e. to make. palatable, normal, that Iran now agree to 3.6% enrichment.
Phooey.
Why should Iran effectively throw away its efforts?
Israel will strike again, one way or another.
Iranian nukes was never the real problem, the real problem for the last 40 years has been zionist intransigence.
Actually, Ritter's presentation on Judge Nap's show today was far more nuanced and intelligent on that topic than I've heard him make in the past. The key is that we made a decision to strike Iran on March 7, then entered negotiations. Iran agreed to move back from 60% along with inspection--but the USreal struck Iran anyway because Netanyahu demanded it. Ritter's contention is that Iran made a tactical mistake and that they should have continued under the JCPOA, staying in the right and leaving Trump in the wrong.
"staying in the right and leaving Trump in the wrong."
Understood.
In the real world, what difference would that have made?
Trump left JCPOA in 2018.
Although Iran had been in compliance with JCPOA terms, USA had never followed through on sanctions relief that were part of the pact.
Sanctions were causing substantial harm to Iran's civilian population, who were keenly aware of the deaths caused by sanctions on Iraq, "a price," Madeleine Albright opined, "that was worth it."
Iran began enriching to 60% on April 13, 2021, an action
**"characterized by Iran as a response to a sabotage of its vast underground enrichment cascades at Natanz two days before." **
**"On 11 April 2021, a Blackout hit the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran which caused damage to the electrical distribution grid. The blackout seemed to be caused by a planned blast. The Natanz incident happened almost a week after Iran and Biden tried to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which President Trump had unilaterally withdrawn."**
**"Several Israeli media claimed that the operation was carried out by the Israeli Mossad spy service. Israel had expressed dissatisfaction over Biden's revival of the nuclear deal, which the United States unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018."**
Unlike Tammy Bruce, Iran's leader felt an obligation to take some action to protect Iran's citizens.
Useful to consult Politics of Hunger, by C Paul Vincent, the starvation blockade by which Germany was forced to submit to onerous terms of Versailles treaty. 700,000 German civilians died AFTER German armistice.
Although Iran remained neutral during the wars in Europe, as immediate outcomes of invasions by Allied forces in both wars, Iran experienced famines that caused the deaths of 3 - 4 million in WWI (see Mohammed Gholi Magd, The Great Famine and Genocide in Persia, 1917–1919) and 2-3 million in WWII.
Israel attacks Iran and then wants to call the whole thing off because they're losing?!
If I'm comprehending other sources besides MiH, Trump may've coordinated with Iran. Our attack was real, but it was also staged?! If true, that's a continuation of the Deep State, which seeks to gaslight the American people.
I thought that I voted for a Peace President and a truthteller; not more of the same.
I think Will may be missing the point. "This war" is multidimensional. Just because because Iran may not want to take on the US directly at this point doesn't mean that the war as a whole will be in intermission.

Just a token performance from the Iranians.
Looks like this war is going to intermission.
Everyone will claim to have won a great victory, lick their wounds, and recuperate their forces until the next act begins.
Even Blinken, nor any of his aides, ever uttered before the cameras such a deranged and deluded statement as did Tammy Bruce. A pathetic buffoon, a national (if we still are one) disgrace.
Funny to see her add that parenthetical "next to Israel" because she was talking to Israeli media. Her first mistake was to say the US is "the greatest country on earth" because that is just NOT helpful, to us, to US citizens, to think that way -- that there is a greatest country on earth. Greatest as in Best. But that is not the lesson of history.
I would expect Iran to stand strong for at least the short term future. The only language the US and Israel respect is that of brute force and violence. And the greatest irony of all is that Iran will fully fulfil the fears of Israel and the neocons: they will acquire nuclear weapons.
Iran would have to acquire as many nuclear weapons as Israel has to have parity, and Israel refuses to admit how many they have or join the NPT like most of the nuclear states on the planet have.

Complete and total ceasefire between Iran and Israel...that's what Trump is saying

One quibble, Netanyahu will retire to Florida, as will Zelensky.
Boy I hope you’re right.
ah. so you do not live in florida.
Poor MTG and her constituents.
I highly recommend Alex Christoforou's June 23 news & commentary video to you.
He has a lot of repercussions from the US attack to talk about, and his descriptors at times made me laugh: "Putin told the US to shove it!"
https://theduran.com/graham-putin-bunker-busters-trump-wants-iran-regime-change-zelensky-strike-russia-pain-points/
Alex includes a new audacious statement from Lindsey Graham, and more Trump TS quotes that sport capitalizations and multiple punctuations.
Israel expected to inflict Syria-fication on Iran but they're being Gazafied instead.
