Today will be a busy day, so I want to get this out quickly. While I’ll concentrate on MKB (MKBhadrakumar), part of what MKB has to say involves Scott Ritter. Further, some observations by Alastair Crooke to Judge Nap lead into this topic quite seamlessly.
Who would have ever thought that having a President who is little more than a shambling corpse for three years would have a deleterious effect on our foreign policy at some point?
Ok, maybe I missed something, but if Joke made a video congratulating one of our Air Force units for their help in defending Israel from the recent Iranian attack, how exactly does that not make us complicit?
Seems like we’re trying to have it both ways.
Do these neocons not realize that this level of hypocrisy is not escaping the notice of the entire world? And here all this time I thought Constable Dogberry was just a fictional character from one of Shakespeare’s plays!
"Iran makes an ideal energy partner for European economies replacing Russia. "
Couldn't believe I read that right.
Iran, after years of taunts (bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran) and exclusion from the oh so civilized international community could be bought off so easily with such a cheap bribe.
That's MKB's opinion on western diplomacy? Hmm. Probably about right.
MKB’s writings I have read are usually a lot more realistic and hard hitting.
This one I found, umm, fanciful and sounded very similar to the official Western Narrative. Did he get Drudged?
It lost a huge amount of credibility claiming with the headline “ US diplomacy gains traction in Middle East”, and tops that off with the delusional hope that Iran can be separated from Russia. And ignores the increasing trade between Russia and Iran, as well as the rail links, and increased trade between Iran and China. China’s and Russia’s power both soft and hard are rising, Europes in a downward spiral, as is Biden’s America (fortunately not as bad as Europe yet, but it’s not due to lack of trying).
This strike was unprecedented for several important reasons. Firstly, it was of course the first Iranian strike on Israeli soil directly ...
Secondly, it was one of the most advanced and longest range peer-to-peer style exchanges in history. ...
But Iran did something unprecedented. They conducted the first ever modern, potentially hypersonic, assault on an enemy with SRBMs and MRBMs across a vast multi-domain space covering several countries and timezones, and potentially as much as 1200-2000km.
Additionally, Iran did all this with potentially hypersonic weapons, ...
It all comes back to the current administrations coddling and mismanagement worldwide which has emboldened our enemies.

Silly me.
Israel Will Retaliate Against Iran

Paraphrasing: "I'm shocked! Shocked to find that Israel is going to retaliate."

One has to wonder what Iran had given to Hezbollah.

Excellent update! Thanks. China has 45,000 miles of high-speed rail btw. US -- none.
