Supposedly, it was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who once said words to the effect that, “there are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Quite apart from my revulsion for Communists in general – and Lenin in particular – this most likely was a misattribution. But the sentiment stands, and it makes perfect sense, in light of recent events over the past 24 hours.

(It is rare, by the way, that I must apologise at the front end of a poast. It is rarer still for me to apologise for two separate things. In this case, though, I am compelled to do so – first, for quoting a Commie, given I think shooting Communists on sight should be perfectly legal and part of any sane national defence policy, and second, for providing a link to Snopes, of all places. Oh well, needs must.)

The Empire Strikes First

Early on Friday morning, news started pouring in that the Israelis had struck Iran, hard. As the day progressed, the sheer scale of the attack became clear, and it was MASSIVE. The Israeli Defence Forces sent over 200 warplanes – many of them were their latest and greatest F-35I Kosher Turducken Joint Strike Flying Piano Morris Marina models.

(No doubt the rabbis ensured they were all circumcised beforehand, and had to ensure they were all back at their bases before sunset to observe the Sabbath…)

Those planes, supported by F-15s, F-16s, and Boeing 707 aerial refuelling tankers, flew over Syrian airspace to strike up and down western Iran, and deep into Tehran itself. The airborne attack coincided with a major drone attack, involving trucks carrying dozens, if not hundreds, of FPV suicide drones, that then attacked Iranian military and nuclear research facilities, as well as buildings housing military personnel from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and regular Iranian military.

The strike was precise, well-coordinated, extensively planned, and almost perfectly executed. One has to give fair due to Mossad and the Shin Bet, who clearly spent huge amounts of time and effort planning this out. By the end of the morning, Iran’s military was in chaos, as the strikes had significantly damaged their western radar stations and taken out a substantial portion of their air defence capabilities. Their nuclear research and uranium enrichment facilities across the west of their country suffered damage, too, though the true extent of that damage is unclear.

Israel also succeeded in killing quite a few top-ranking IRGC and military commanders, including the Chief of Staff of the entire Iranian military. They killed several top Iranian nuclear scientists. Most importantly, perhaps, the Israelis showed Iran just how porous its western borders are, and how lax its security capabilities are.

Iran is a gigantic country in terms of landmass, so keeping control over it is very difficult, to be sure, but the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at odds with Israel for a very long time, and should, in theory, understand how to find and neutralise Mossad cells in their country. Nonetheless, the Israelis were able to infiltrate Iran easily, and were able to smuggle in FPV drones, using the example of Ukraine’s Operation: SPIDER WEB, to build a large number of suicide units that caused no end of headaches early yesterday for Iran.

Again, fair play to Israel: this was a very professional and brilliantly executed operation. They showed Iran’s military and security weaknesses, and embarrassed and humiliated the ayatollahs on their own soil.

That, however, is where the “good” news ends, from an Israeli perspective.

The Resistance Retaliates

By late afternoon, the Iranians were getting their act together. Ayatollah Khamenei moved swiftly to replace the slain commanders with their deputies. Media reports and, later, satellite photos, showed the damage to Iran’s nuclear research sites to be far lower than expected. Crucially, the underground sites, some of which are buried ninety to one hundred metres below the ground, far out of reach of bunker busters, were largely untouched.

Those underground facilities, by the way, are engineering marvels. The Iranians build them deep underground, but they do not simply tunnel straight down. To get to those facilities, apparently you have to go down, say, 40 metres, and then off into a side tunnel, and then down again, then across through another tunnel – all of this in mountainous, deeply challenging territory.

This touches on another fatal conceit that pervades Western thought and action. Too many Western leaders, and far too much of the Western public, thinks the Iranians are a bunch of unwashed monkeys that can barely figure out how to create stone tools. This is so far from the truth that I cannot quite believe I have to write it. The Iranian civilisation is ancient beyond counting – at least 4,000 years old. The Persians can credibly argue that their history is older even than China’s. They have a history, language, culture, and heritage stretching back beyond that of Rome and Greece. And they have a track record of building amazing things in Mesopotamia.

Anyone who thinks this country is some sort of easy pushover, is totally delusional.

Regime Change All the Way Down

Yet that is apparently exactly what the Israeli leadership, starting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, seem to think. Shortly after the strikes happened, the Nutter took to the airwaves to make the following, quite unhinged, statement:

The sheer chutzpah involved is absolutely unbelievable. Supposedly, the Israelis reckoned Iran was 15 days away, or something like that, from having enough fissionable material to make 9 nuclear bombs, and therefore launched a pre-emptive strike to stop this from happening.

Except… nothing of the sort is even remotely true.

This is the exact wording from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Annual Threat Assessment from May 2025, which reflects the consensus opinion of the entire US intelligence community:

We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so. In the past year, there has been an erosion of a decades-long taboo on discussing nuclear weapons in public that has emboldened nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decisionmaking apparatus. Khamenei remains the final decisionmaker over Iran’s nuclear program, to include any decision to develop nuclear weapons.

The emphasis is in the original. This is what DNI Tulsi Gabbard said to President Trump. All eighteen of the US’s own intelligence agencies backed this conclusion.

Now, this is not a defence of American unintelligence, of course. The CIA is NOTORIOUS for getting things spectacularly wrong – for instance, the spooks at Foggy Bottom completely failed to predict the fall of the USSR, even in the months leading to that final collapse, despite all the signs being obvious. (And, I might add, despite separate intelligence reports that President St. Reagan Magnus of the Right had in front of him, showing that California alone could outproduce the whole of Russia, and America alone could outproduce the entire combined Warsaw Pact.)

But the fact is that we have been seeing headlines in the US for FORTY YEARS saying Iran is about to build a nuclear bomb – and it has never, ever happened.

False Premises

One does not have to like or trust the Iranian government’s words, to understand this. I certainly do not have any love for the ayatollahs. But all one has to do, is to look at their actions. And those actions show very clearly that Iran has absolutely no desire for a direct confrontation with America, or with Israel, in the Middle East. It simply wants to be left the hell ALONE.

Why? Because Iran is the Shi’ite superpower in the region – with huge numbers of Sunni Muslims arrayed all along its western borders, and with highly unstable Sunni powers, namely Pakistan and Afghanistan, on its eastern one. It is the centre of the Shi’ite world, which is radically different from the Sunni one – and, arguably, has a much stronger claim to the mantle of the Izzlamick cult leader, Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit (Police Be Upon Him).

I will not get into the reasons why, as that would take up far too much time and effort, but suffice to say, the Iranians have no real motive to go to war with either Israel or the FUSA.

Worse still, there are reports coming through now that Israel’s strike on Iran was much more costly to the former than they are willing to admit. Iranian media have issued unverified reports that they managed to shoot down two F-35I warplanes yesterday, and captured an IADF pilot (possibly female) – and more reports have come through today claiming the downing of a third F-35I. All of this is happening at a time when the entire F-35 programme itself is under serious scrutiny for the viability and survivability of the aircraft in hostile environments.

If the F-35I cannot survive in an AD-rich environment – like Iranian airspace – then the whole point of the two-trillion-dollar Turducken Plane is moot. And that flying junkheap will show itself to be the single greatest boondoggle in military history.

Not only that, but their strongest partners, Russia and China, both have made very clear to the Iranians that they do not want to see Iran gain nuclear weapons. Russia, in particular, has made its support for a non-nuclear Iran absolutely clear. President Putin even offered President Trump to stand forward as an honest broker and mediator between the US and Iran, with the goal of securing peaceful nuclear enrichment with no nuclear weapons.

Failure to Launch

Returning to the Nutter’s statement – he also started banging the drum of regime change, which was, in my view, about the stupidest thing imaginable. The Iranian people are not what popular Western imagination thinks. Iran has multiple internal crises to deal with – foremost among them being the collapse in their birth rates, to the point where the ayatollahs are seriously freaking out about the demographics of the country.

Yet, in Iran, there has apparently been a notable loosening of public morality laws, to the point where women serve as firefighters – yes, really – and around a third of women in the country, particularly in the urban areas, walk around without a headscarf.

Indeed, the fastest growing religion in the country, is not Islam – it is Christianity.

Put simply, this is not a monolithic bastion of an intolerant and genocidal religion. It is a complex and multi-ethnic nation with a long and often glorious history.

Yet this is the country on which Israel apparently wants to run a regime change operation. And it chose to do so in the outright stupidest way possible – by attacking it.

This has had exactly the opposite effect that the Israelis wanted. Iranian society has rapidly coalesced around the government. There are massive protests in the streets of Tehran now – arguing in favour of colossal retaliation.

Worse still, many of those on the streets are now openly calling for Iran to do precisely what Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran would not do – build a nuclear bomb.

Why? Because that is the only way to guarantee Iran’s security.

They look at North Korea, another regime the West considers totally beyond the pale, and recognise that no one messes with Kim Jong-Un, precisely because his country now has nuclear weapons, and the ability to deliver them using long-range strike vehicles. And they see that Israel, which has nuclear weapons – using, I might add, technology blatantly stolen from the West – attacking them with impunity.

These people are not idiots. They were attacked by a foreign power that has been slaughtering Muslims at appalling rates in Gaza, and they are drawing the only conclusion that is rational in such circumstances – that their only guarantee of safety, as a country, is to have the one weapon that would wipe Israel off the map in an instant.

In other words, Israel has not, and almost certainly will not, achieve any of its ends. It has very stupidly done the exact opposite, and driven Iran closer to getting a nuclear weapon.

Israel has not crippled the Iranian military. It has not severely damaged the Iranian nuclear enrichment programme. Nor has it succeeded in decapitating the Iranian political and military leadership, which is now reorganising, responding, and in full control of the country.

All Iran has to do now, is to survive for the next few weeks, and the tide will then swiftly and inexorably turn against Israel. As the good gentlemen of The Duran pointed out this morning, if the Iranian regime survives – which is highly likely – then it will thrive:

The regime survived the past 24 hours intact. It hit back HARD. And its counterstrikes are just beginning.

Cloudy with a Chance of Hellfire

Already, there are obvious signs that Israel bit off far more than it can chew. The Iranians launched gigantic waves of missile strikes against Israel last night, and those strikes continue into today. The last time I checked, the Iranians fired off well over 500 ballistic missiles at Israel – many of them hypersonic. And despite Israeli propaganda to the contrary, the Iranian missiles were largely NOT intercepted by American-provided air defence (which, by and large, does not work). Videos uploaded from Israeli social media show heavy impacts in central Tel Aviv, Haifa, and elsewhere across the country, with widespread devastation wreaked.

That is not even the beginning of the Iranian response. Today, the Iranians are threatening to launch TWO THOUSAND missiles in a single salvo – far more than enough to overwhelm the combined air defence capabilities of the IDF, the US Navy in the Gulf and Mediterranean, and the British, French, and German air units stationed around the region.

This is not speculation, it is MAFF. All one has to do, is to realise the probability of kill for a given American or Israeli missile interceptor, against a hypersonic ballistic missile, is less than 20%, and then work backwards to understand how many missiles have to be launched to stop a full salvo of them. This is not hard – it is a logarithmic equation, which means the number of interceptors required, grows exponentially given the number of incoming missiles.

Make no mistake: Iran has all the firepower it needs to switch off the lights in Israel and plunge the entire country into the Stone Age over the course of a week.

This is not a war Israel can win. Like the FUSA, Israel is primarily an air power, which can project its air forces across Syria and Iraq – with no small amount of American help. But it has no capacity to sustain the only kind of war that actually matters, which is a ground invasion of Iran. The very idea is hilariously stupid.

Iran, for its part, has significant weaknesses of its own. Its air defences have been compromised, and its military clearly suffers from some really major security flaws – they very evidently have not learned much from the Russian experiences in the Banderastan War.

Iran does not have the ability to project air power the way Israel does. Its fleet of combat aircraft consists largely of flying museum pieces from the time of the Shah – F-4 Phantom IIs and F-14 Tomcats that require ever increasing amounts of maintenance. Iran also does not have a tanker fleet, and lacks modern 4++-generation and 5th-generation combat and strike aircraft. And, with the fall of the Assad government in Syria, it does not have any easy land-based route to move ground forces toward Israel.

But Iran has an overwhelming advantage in terms of the quantity, range, and power of their offensive missile systems, which can rain down death and destruction on Israel at a rate against which the latter cannot defend or intercept.

More than that, Iran is a vastly larger country, with a far greater industrial base and economic output (when counted in PPP terms) than Israel has. Israel can only attack the western part of the country – barely a third of Iran’s territory. Iran also has Russia and China as its strategic partners – in fact, the Russians and Iranians recently signed a strategic cooperation treaty with each other, which commits each to support the other’s defence, though not to the level of intervention in the event of an armed conflict. This puts two out of the three largest industrial powers on Earth in alignment together with Iran, against Israel and the US – and China’s industrial base is so gigantic that it outsizes the combined capacity of the US and Europe.

Iran can absorb Israeli strikes for much longer than the other way around. All Iran has to do, is to target Israeli nuclear and conventional power generation facilities, to shut down the entire country in a heartbeat. If Israel pushes things further – as seems likely – that is probably what the Iranians will do.

And if Israel carries out its threat to attack Iranian oil refineries along the Persian Gulf coast… well, then all bets are off.

Ziocon Wet Dreams

It is important to understand that such an attack would imperil the very existence of the entire Western world, not just Israel. If Iran closes the Straits of Hormuz, a significant artery for the world’s petroleum will close, and that will lead to extreme spikes in the price of oil. The worst-case scenario is not oil at US$90/bbl, or even at US$150/bbl. It is closer to US$200/bbl, which means petrol prices at the pump in the US of well north of US$15/gal.

Do Americans seriously want that?

Have the Dispensationalist idiots among the Evangelicals, who unconditionally support Israel through their brainwashing via the heretical Scofield Reference Bible, thought through the consequences of what they are supporting?

Do they understand that allowing Israel to do this, would create an economic collapse in the United States that would make 2008 look like a minor blip by comparison?

One has to conclude that none of the crazies supporting this lunacy, have thought through ANYTHING. They continue to support Israel unconditionally, even as it carries out a war that it cannot win, against a power far larger and stronger than itself. It hurt that power, to be sure, but it certainly has not crippled Iran – nor, in fact, can it do so.

Trump’s War

The other sad reality emerging from this horrible mess, is that President Trump has totally and completely FAILED to live up to his promises. He campaigned as the Peace Candidate, yet he is now neck-deep in not one, but TWO, proxy wars, that he supports.

Either he is stupid – which I do not believe – or he is clueless and too full of himself to take control of his own Administration. I suspect the latter is true, but Drumpf has done himself absolutely no favours in the past few days.

Ornj Boi’s posts on Truth Social in the aftermath of the initial strikes made it very clear that he knew what was coming, he was well informed about it, and he gave at least tacit consent to the attacks. This means the entire posture of negotiating with Iran, to try to find a deal in good faith, was a lie:

And that means the Iranians have zero incentive, whatsoever, to trust Trump, or any other American, ever again.

The Iranians made their own position perfectly clear in recent talks – if they were allowed to enrich uranium up to 60% under IAEA supervision, they would agree to that, and were willing to open up all their nuclear facilities for inspection. But if they were not allowed to enrich at all, there would be no deal:

Trump seemed to go along with that for a little while – and then suddenly backtracked on it. Now, he has completely abandoned any pretence at wanting to do a deal, and has given Israel his full backing.

This was a catastrophic strategic miscalculation, of such colossal proportions that I am not sure Drumpf even remotely understands what a mistake he just made.

What incentive, now, do the Russians have to trust the Trump Administration, at all, on anything? Why should they negotiate with him on an equitable solution to the Banderastan War, when they know Trump cannot be trusted?

And why should the Chinese trust him, at all, on the subject of trade? Or anything else, including their own red lines around Taiwan?

By backing this strike against Iran, and by providing tacit US support – for there is absolutely no way in Hell the Israelis pulled this off without substantial American help and logistical support – Trump has killed American diplomacy.

Worse, he may well have killed his own second term.

Up until Friday, the best we could say about Drumpf, on the subject of foreign policy, was that he was not as bad as Brandon. Today, he has shown he is even less trustworthy, and even more dangerous. He has destroyed America’s reputation, such as it was, for honesty and good faith – not that this reputation was ever very strong. And he has gotten America sucked into yet another Forever War in the Middle East, for absolutely no gain.

Conclusion – Hell No, We Won’t Go

This all leads us to one very uncomfortable reality, which we must explicate here:

The FUSA is now very clearly under the full control of the Zionist neoclowns, many of whom are Jewish, and the rest of whom are Evangelical Dispensationalists who love Israel more than their own country, who want American men and women to die for a foreign power.

To understand why this is so dangerous, you need to take a look at what #BasedTucker posted on his X account, before these strikes happened, excoriating those calling for war with Iran, using simple facts and evidence. It is worth reading in full:

Mark Levin was at the White House today, lobbying for war with Iran. To be clear, Levin has no plans to fight in this or any other war. He’s demanding that American troops do it. We need to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, he and likeminded ideologues in Washington are…

— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 5, 2025

#BasedTucker represents Middle America, even though he is himself a rich White boy living in a very nice house somewhere in, I think, Maine. He speaks for the Forgotten Man, and he does it brilliantly. And he is pointing out a harsh truth that no one else wants to utter:

Jews want goyim to die for them.

That is the only way to put it. Mark Levin is a Jew, who said very clearly he would never vote for Trump, but now has visited the White House, and has apparently persuaded Trump to support a war provoked by Israel against the regional superpower, that will collapse the American economy. The sheer insanity of it is beyond belief, yet that is precisely what Levin and his (((Tribe))) have now done.

And then they wonder why they keep getting kicked out of every single country they ever visit…

These are not the Jews of the Torah. These are the Jews of the Talmud, which is a totally different thing, and which, at least in parts, calls for the enslavement and genocide of non-Jews.

I think I speak for a significant chunk of the Western world when I say:

Not ONE non-Jew deserves to die for Jewish wars of aggression.

The only way Israel prevails in this war – which IT STARTED – is to drag America’s military into it, kicking and screaming. America does not have the military depth and sustainment capability to carry out a long war against Iran – especially given Iran’s ability to sink American aircraft carriers at long range. This means the war stands a very serious risk of going fully nuclear in a very short time – the alternative is to watch as America loses two or more of its precious nuclear supercarriers, and the 5,000 men EACH that crew them.

Is that something Americans want? To send thousands and tens of thousands of its young men and women to die for a foreign power? For Jews?

That is apparently what the Israelis, or at least their leadership, want. It is not what the rest of us want.

The sooner Israel realises this, and backs the hell off, the sooner the adults in the room can step in and take away their toys. The alternative is the destruction of Israel, root and branch, and the instigation of the very Holocaust they have spent eighty years crying about – with ever less success, because people like me are sick and tired of their Holocaustianity.

This war needs to end now, and Trump needs to change tack radically – or resign. If he does not, he will be just like every other President since Reagan – a deluded, addled, foolish warmonger, with not even the sense God gave a goose.
