Articles like this is why I subscribe. Thank you Ken. Though I must admit I remain wary of Israel intentionally trying to provoke further Iranian retaliation to force the US into a broader conflict. Both to serve their own military purposes and to try and get Trump elected again.
I wonder how many times Lindsey Graham has been with himself in the last 72 hours? War with Iran and the possibility of nuclear war have to be his two favorite things.
OK, not sure what that was about. Finally was able to load and read.
Agree with all. This is nonsense. That said, how often has the media (and its Pentagon or former Pentagon paid talking heads) taken the lead on these middle east wars? It's almost like they WANT there to be a US - Iran war, no matter how freakin' dumb it would be. Does this country (the US) even have the ability to NOT intervene on the stupid Israelis' behalf anymore? Did I miss some formal treaty? Is Israel a secret NATO member? This is all just disgusting. But Nuttyahu was right, I guess, when he bragged about how easy it is to "move" the United States.
Iran has been a moderating force in the Middle East for as long as the axis of genocide has been conducting massacres and installing dictators to steal oil under the “egghead” banner of democracy in the region.
Iran has alliances, they are not third world and have a vibrant class of educated people. Iran manufacturers many items consumed within while experiencing a robust export economy. Iran is not a pariah state and has no outstanding border or administrative issues.
All the above confirms that the USA will not be at war with Iran. The only pretence that could be incorporated is Iran attacking Israel but that too is weak since Israel has already breached Iran’s sovereignty with the execution of Hamas’ Negotiator.

Very helpful, Ken.
Thanks!
Thank you for this. I am sorely lacking in my intelligence about war or defense. I appreciate these types of articles.
Glad you found it useful, brandy!
Are you guys (or Substack in general) having technical issues or a DDOS right now? I can't get the article to load using any browser.

I was also having some issues with Substack. They did put out an alert around this time.

Thank you for getting me on track!!!Whoooo!
