Trump posted today “I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’” No American president should EVER make that statement but we’ve known for a long time that Putin has been trumps puppet master.

That is absolutely disgusting! That should be reason enough for treason!

Lev,

Thank you for pointing out what the worthless, useless, clueless, corporate media refuses to point out.

I kind of figured that Iran would not retaliate in a major way, due to the fact that its military has been significantly degraded by Israel over the past ten days and also because, as you said in this commentary, the strikes over the weekend have not totally decimated Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Unless there is some way to prevent Iran from restarting its nuclear program these strikes, over the long term, will have been an abject failure.

Hence the reason why the United States has no business being in the ME … they get used and misused “defending freedom”. The mind fuck this must be doing to the troops must be shattering. But no one is talking about Gaza. Ukraine. Yemen. Lebanon.

Caught part of your live with Michael and Malcom earlier, I appreciated how he laid out the actual mechanical aspects of enrichment, fissile material and bomb building, and we’re probably going to see an Iranian demo. Real soon.

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW THIS MAN GOT BACK INTO OFFICE! Every time I read something like this, I think that things can't get any crazier- and then they do! Wouldn't it be nice to just have a BORING President again?

Lev, do you think, or have heard, if all 3 of those POS (Putin, trump, Netanyahu) had engineered the initial strikes by Israel and then planned out how the "escalation" was going to proceed and then having the Iranian Ayatollah brought in to decide on the closing "save face" retaliation bombing in Qatar?? Putin, unknown to trump and Netanyahu, alerts the Ayatollah so he moves all the critical nuclear material out of harm's way?

Now, this greases the skids for trump to get his Nobel prize through Putin, who then gets some other concession from trump for making it happen???

Something is not right here, it's all going down WAY too fast to make any sense. The MSM is just stuck on one track and not mentioning anything else or even raising questions.....

This, of course, has caused major distraction from the "bill" being pushed through Congress, a bill that will destroy lives in this country and also advance AI being embedded everywhere and Palantir having total control over all people living in various countries.....

Something nefarious is definitely going on, it's not adding up .....

Also, Iran notified the US military base IN ADVANCE so they could evacuate before the retaliation strike. WTF??

Iran gave in pretty quickly. It seems that they might feel that they got out of this fairly unscathed especially if they were able to relocate everything before the strike. Trump gave them plenty of advance warning.

So ask yourself, are we any better off today, than when we had the JCPOA in place when Iran couldn’t enrich uranium, or now, when Iran has just hidden over 600 kilograms of enriched uranium which could eventually be weaponized?

I agree Lev, this is smoke and mirrors. I knew something was amiss when Iran decided to attack America’s airbase in Qatar.

First off, Qatar closed its airspace an hour before the attack. This tells us Qatar knew of the retaliation in advance. Secondly, Qatar is the Iranian regimes best ally in the region, so why attack Qatar when America has bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE?

This never made sense, until it was apparent this was a staged event meant to help Trump look like a peacemaker, and incredible dealmaker. My instincts tell me this is just theater so Trump can continue his unconstitutional rampage and final attempt to consolidate all the levers of power domestically.

However, I don’t see how Netanyahu is satisfied. And now Iran is in a stronger place than before, and Israel is no closer to decimating Iran’s nuclear program. All this does is bide time for Iran to regroup for future plans.

Congratulations Trump, you’ve completed the circular firing squad, and it’s only a matter of time before this game of Russian Roulette has consequences for everyone involved! IMHO…:)
