🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺"MAGA" Duped Again as Trump Fulfills "Project 2025" NATO "Burden Sharing" Objective through 5% GDP Military Spending vs. Russia
▪️As warned, and as US Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth pronounced in Feb. 2025, the US has forced NATO members to commit to 5% of their GDP to military spending specifically as part of a "division of labor" amid the continued US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine;
▪️This follows the US using "negotiations" as cover to launch an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran and as the US openly declares its intention to "pivot" toward China and more directly interfere in the Asia-Pacific region;
▪️The goal is for NATO to maintain/freeze the conflict with Russia until the US - through strategic sequencing - sufficiently contains China and can circle back around to Russia;
▪️All US wars/proxy wars inherited from the Biden administration have been CONFIRMED obediently continued under the Trump administration;

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US President Trump Posts Music Video Making Fun of Unprovoked War of Aggression Launched on Iran
▪️Video features song many are calling "Bomb Iran," celebrating another US war of aggression predicted on deliberate lies - set to the tune of "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys - a tribute to late neocon warmonger John McCain who promoted the many forever wars Trump was voted into office to end;
▪️The video was posted on President Trump's official account on Truth Social;
Note: from this point forward, if you defend the Trump administration, make excuses for it, you're dead to me.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Claims of US-Israel-Iran "Ceasefire" (part 1 of 2)
▪️After repeatedly lying to Iran, attacking it amid negotiations designed specifically to lure it into complacency, then announcing a 2 week deadline to decide on strikes on Iran that took place hours later, US President Trump is claiming a ceasefire was agreed to;
▪️Iran would need to be beyond naive to accept or trust any word or action by the US - the US has not spent decades trying to topple Iran amid its regional murder spree to suddenly abandon it - its ENTIRE global aspirations hinge on it - it has used Israel as a conduit to launder its war crimes & provocations through & will continue to;
▪️To effect regime change, the US would benefit most by luring Iranian leaders out of cover & striking them, provoking retaliations & further war;
▪️Iran requires not a "Libya model," but a "North Korea model" or else this process will repeat itself until it concludes in Washington and Wall Street's favor;
NSC advisors urged ‘ISIS’-style drone attacks on Russian rail, leaked files show - By Kit Klarenberg
Leaked war plans sent to the US NSC instructed Kiev to carry out “ISIS”-style drone attacks on Russian trains and rail bridges, foreshadowing a series of deadly Ukrainian attacks this May and June. Continue reading...

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🇶🇦US War of Aggression Quickly Spreading as Iranian Retaliation Targets US Airbase in Qatar Used in Strikes on Iran
▪️Reports indicate Iran warned Qatar, launched small number of missiles, US assets not present;
▪️While symbolic, the taboo of Iran striking nations hosting US forces attacking Iran or aiding Israeli strikes has been broken - much easier to launch additional strikes;
▪️US now has pretext to widen war, but was always going to create one either way - if the US cites Iran's very measured retaliation - it's equivalent to escalation without a pretext at all;
▪️Western media is still falsely referring to this as "Israel's war in Iran," this has been a US war fought, first through Israel, and now directly by the US;

🇺🇸🇮🇷US STRIKES IRAN - NOW DIRECT PARTY OF WAR IT USED ISRAELI PROXIES TO START - AS PER POLICY PAPERS FROM AS FAR BACK AS 2009
▪️Trump, after picking a cabinet of warmongering neocons and openly committing to policy verbatim out of the 2009 policy paper, "Which Path to Persia?" which included fake negotiations and using Israel to provoke the war, President Trump, VP Vance, and long-time warmonger/neocon Sec. of State Rubio announce unprovoked US strikes on Iran;
▪️The US will now escalate toward regime change, since this never had anything to do with a threat of nuclear weapons as the Trump administration's own intelligence noted Iran didn't have WMDs nor was pursuing them;
▪️This is only one part of an even wider war still coming - keep in mind - this is about setting the stage for wider war with Russia and China every US admit from Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and now. Trump again has set the stage for;
🇺🇸The MAGA Bait-and-Switch, Tulsi Gabbard Edition...
And regarding US DNI Tulsi Gabbard, as an example of how continued support of the Trump administration and its widening war of aggression against Iran comes at the cost of courage and integrity (if she ever had any to begin with)...
She is now saying her earlier testimony is being misrepresented and she has doubled down on WMDs lies regarding Iran.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 On US Deciding on Strikes on Iran
▪️The plan is for eventual, open US strikes on Iran, with the US already having been involved in ongoing Israeli strikes (ISR, refueling, AD, munitions);
▪️Israel was designated to provoke the war, take responsibility, absorb the brunt of Iran's retaliation, and now is attempting to sufficiently shape the battlefield;
▪️When (if?) this process is complete and conditions optimal, the US will almost certainly launch strikes unless Iran is stronger than expected and confounds ongoing shaping operations;
▪️The US isn't trying to disarm Iran or arrive at some accommodation, it has always sought to dismember it as a nation-state - as it invaded Iraq and collapsed Syria to prepare the battlefield for war on Iran, toppling Iran is required for further isolating/confronting Russia and China;
▪️Delay by the US is almost certainly dependent on waiting for the right conditions - the decision to go to war with Iran was always pre-determined;
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 I'm often asked if and when the US will enter into war with Iran...
A: The US is already at war with Iran.
The US picks the targets using ISR only the US is capable of obtaining, provides Israel with the planes and bombs required, refuels the planes, co-developed and funds the missiles Isreal uses to stop Iranian retaliation and is itself participating in intercepting Iranian retaliation.
The real question is how much wider will this war become?
During the opening phases, Israel was always meant to strike first, take responsibility and absorb the brunt of Iran's retaliation.
Once sufficiently exhausted, the US would wade in more openly.
The problem the US faces is that if it is unable to proceed here, it has little chance of proceeding in its strategy against Russia or China.
This means the chances are higher of open US involvement even if conditions are not optimal for it.
Also, if there is any plan to use Israeli nuclear weapons, the US would want to wait and maintain plausible deniability.
It's not about whether the US wants this war to widen, they do - the decision hinges entirely on whether they are confident of succeeding and how big a risk they are willing to take to do so.
For those who think "Trump" is still playing a game of interdimensional backgammon or 5D chess, they've simply lost their minds.
Trump himself spit in their face, told them he did, and they're still saying it's raining... (again).

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Warning Against Triumphalism Over US-Israeli "Failed" War on Iran
▪️Despite apparent weakness exposed amid US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, the current "ceasefire" is not cause for celebration or complacency;
▪️Previous "ceasefires" and talk of "ceasefire" was used by the US and Israel to ELIMINATE the most senior level of Hezbollah's leadership late last year (pictured in this September 2024 Guardian article);
▪️Just as was the case with this most recent violence, the assassinations followed US-Israeli attacks on Hezbollah planned over the course of a year or more, making it an unprovoked act of war - diplomacy was used as a ploy to launch the strikes and create "plausible deniability" between the US and its Israeli proxies;
▪️Assume similar betrayal by the US and its proxies is imminent regarding Iran itself and prepare for the absolute worst, especially considering the level of deceit demonstrated by the current Trump administration;

Continued (part 2 of 2)...
▪️The same "experts" who failed to see this war coming in the first place are now citing 5D chess strategies to explain how the Trump administration somehow averted a war entirely of its (and the establishment it serves) own creation and design to begin with;
▪️The US will only stop when (1) people stop falling for this through excessive delusion, and (2) the rest of the world unites to force the US to stop;
▪️If a genuine ceasefire is reached, it will likely have been the work of Russia and China quietly forcing the US to, through private but sufficient threats coupled with a graceful public exit ramp - though the chances of the US honoring it hover around 0%;
▪️Both the US and its Israeli proxies have pushed past political limits to strikes on Iran.
It will be much easier into the future to strike Iran at any time and without warning by either aggressor even after any "ceasefire."
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Regime Change Ops Attempt to Panic Iran into Collapse
▪️Ops can only work if Iranians fall for it and allow themselves to be panicked;
▪️Early phase of regime change operations include targeting government facilities like police stations and infrastructure along with information warfare;
▪️Use of terrorists, opposition mobs, and other forces of instability will be mobilized;
▪️Attempts to bribe/threaten officials into surrendering/fleeing/defecting and create "momentum" that panics an otherwise strong government or society into collapse;
▪️Iranian courage, unity, discipline, and organizational strength will make or break the government over the course of these operations;
▪️US-Israel are both involved in decades of such operations and Iran has weathered them for as long - current ops are attributed to "Israel" but US is certainly not only involved, but the primary force facilitating them;
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Meanwhile in Ukraine, more evidence emerges of US planners driving the entire conflict, fighting Russia through Ukraine.
In this case, US-British planners studied the use of drones to carry out strikes inside Russia including targeting rail infrastructure... ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷Airstrikes in Iran, targeting Tehran, are specifically aimed at preparing for regime change operations.
This follows the Trump administration openly admitting regime change is now an objective (and always was the primary objective).
Keep in mind, every Israel strike is enabled by deliberate, complete and constant US support and participation.
Iranian military capabilities have been degraded but if Iranian society remains united it can weather this phase.
However, if Iran failed to eliminate US-sponsored opposition and armed groups in/around the country, serious risks face political stability and self-preservation.
Other nations watching on, eliminating US interference and US-sponsored opposition is a matter of self-preservation. There is no point in having any sort of military to fight external enemies if there is no defense against internal threats...
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Trump Predictably Talks "Regime Change" in Iran
▪️The plan since at least 2009 (but obviously an ambition since the 1970s) was always to start a war first, then escalate toward regime change;
▪️President Trump has once again duped his followers into embracing another war of aggression toward regime change in the Middle East, this won't stop until 100s or even 1000s of American service members are dead and another failed state emerges;
▪️Many Americans are disillusioned by the Trump administration's obvious betrayal of "MAGA" which always was deep state branding, but many more Americans deliberately shaped into violent, racist idiots will cheer US wars on abroad because they have NOTHING at home to be "proud" of;
⏪FLASHBACK:
On November 1, 2023 I provided a warning about the use of Hamas and its Oct. 7 raids to create a permissive environment across the region for US-backed conflict ultimately aimed at Iran.
Since then, the US has systematically undermined and overturned the peace and stability nations like Russia and China fought hard to achieve, bringing us to the precipice of total war today.
This will only end when we stop falling for the lies and deceptions used to advance US foreign policy in the Middle East and around the globe.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Just as a refresher, this is what the 2009 Brookings paper said about using Israel to provoke a war, and how the US required a perceived Iranian "provocation" to wade into the war itself...
The entire paper can be found here: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf
But at this point, the US has now gone down the entire list of options save for an all out US invasion of Iran.
🇺🇸🇨🇳Western media openly connects US proxy war on Iran to China
US politicians including the Trump administration have made it clear this is about maintaining US dominance over the world, preventing the re-emergence of Russia and the rise of China.
Despite the Trump administration's public rhetoric in the months leading up to this juncture, the hours of Congressional testimony by Trump's nominees made this all very clear - they acknowledged multipolarism, but only as something to undermine and ultimately dismantle, not coexist with.
For those obsessed with Israel who believe the US is fighting Iran on Israel's behalf - here is glaring proof there is a much bigger picture to see.
At one point the NYT article says:
"When China helped negotiate a peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2023, it hailed the breakthrough as a victory for Chinese diplomacy and a sign that America’s chief geopolitical rival had emerged as a major power broker in the Middle East.
But as President Trump openly ponders deploying American forces to join Israel in attacking Iran, the limits of China’s clout in the region are coming into focus."
🇺🇸🇮🇷 US President Trump is spitting in everyone's face, saying he's doing it, and there are STILL people claiming "it's raining!"
This is a brazen, shameless repeat of Iraq WMDs, where the US president isn't even bothering with fabricating evidence - he's simply saying evidence doesn't matter.
This lie repeatedly told by President Trump is what is being used to justify US-backed Israeli strikes on Iran killing human beings as I type this, and the manufacturing of consent for even wider war among the public.
I regularly see Americans online repeating, "Iran cannot have nukes!"
To those still trying to excuse President Trump as somehow playing a complex game to "make peace" even AFTER war has commenced - you're worse than the corporate media who is at least forcing Trump to admit this US-enabled war on Iran is being fought without any justification.
Those who supported Trump now condemning him are a study in courage/integrity, while those still defending him a study in fatal ego/delusion.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Regarding Alleged Iranian Missile Impact Close to Israeli hospital...
▪️It appears to have missed directly hitting any specific building;
▪️Iran was likely targeting military facilities nearby - remember despite being precision guided missiles, they are being fired across the entire region and there is a margin of error;
▪️For those cheering this on, or assuming it was deliberate and in response to an Israeli strike on an Iranian hospital - you're doing the West's propaganda for them - unless Iran itself takes responsibility for the strike and identifies the hospital as the target, why speak for them? And if Iran does so, condemn it;
▪️There is no point in or justification for fighting an enemy by becoming like them;
