Unbelievable stuff here, Ken. The public really is sleepwalking to Armageddon with the rest, including the MSM, seeming to cheerlead the way, or at least obscure the reality. Nuclear weapons means the extinction of us all. Thanks for your reporting, even though I do not want to hear or believe it.
First off, thanks for undertaking this project and explaining it to me. As many people know, I’m old, having just turned 82. And, although I have no plans to permanently depart soon, I’m glad I’m old. But I constantly worry about my two young great nieces as I watch the world order implode. These little girls are living through a U.S.-backed genocide; the erosion of civil liberties and the First Amendment; and based on your reporting, a very real possibility of Armageddon. Because the US has been traditionally subservient to Israel, how much influence will Israel have in a possible nuclear strike on Iran? Netanyahu would be salivating at the prospect of total annihilation of his favorite enemy.
Hey Ken. You are doing fantastic work. Knowing is important, but wow, this is bad. US warmongering against Iran has disturbed me greatly since the 1980s. I thinly hope that brave souls near Trump or in the military hierarchy can resist evil orders to use a nuke. Very thin hope indeed.
If we engage in a first strike, we're no better than Iran.
I believe that Iran DOES have nuclear weapons, and has for some time. I have no proof of this, but let's assume they do for the moment. In that case, Iran would not hesitate to retaliate, leading to a regional nuclear exchange, with Israel getting involved with ITS nukes. And I don't want to even think about what happens next.
If Iran doesn't have nukes, and we still engage in a first strike, we'll be a pariah state with only states like Russia and North Korea being our friends. (Of course, this assumes we use a "small" nuke, whatever that is - one that does not blow up the entire region.) Maybe Israel, who knows? I can't believe much of the rest of the world would want to have anything to do with us.
For the U.S. to be contemplating this is beyond utter madness. I'm no military expert, but I can't believe that nobody has followed the aforementioned line of reasoning to its ultimate conclusion. It is wrong and totally deluded to assume that we do this thing and get off scot-free. Once this happens, NOBODY wins, and we're the biggest losers of all.
I think Ken's findings should be publicized far and wide, and people should seriously consider activating the 25th Amendment. Nobody should be kowtowing to a supposed Commander in Chief *considering" these "plans."
So, I'm a Boomer who, in elementary school, went through drills in case of nuclear war. The drill was going into hall, lining up on wall, facing wall, cover eyes.
Lesson learned? Nuclear war is something to be scared shit less about.
With no threat the idiots in charge obviously have no clue (or care) about the consequences
Given the facts "on the ground" what is the best and plausible outcome for all this.
I guess even though we're a more enlightened and educated world now, the competition and greed and warmongering and wars have been going on for thousands of years, now threatening the whole earth and it's inhabitants. I feel very pessimistic..
Hey subscribers, will answer any questions you have here. - Ken

“War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.”
Glad you found it helpful, Susan!
Total annihilation of the world and all inhabitants of the beautiful blue planet!
Well it’s been nice knowing y’all

Lots of both of these categories in leadership positions these days!
Isfahan will get rocked first.
The 25th Amendment requires the VP and the Cabinet to sign off on removing the President.
What we have left is Civil Society, that’s us. Bloom where you are planted.
Then I guess if the unthinkable happens, we're all going to go merrily to Hell.
We can't let Iran have nuclear weapons, so we should just nuke them. What hypocrisy! And what a danger to planetary survival.
Thank you for your work, Sir. This is a truly bizarre timeline.
