James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian Despite the fragile, if not extinguished ceasefire, amidst growing Strait of Hormuz tensions escalating the current war between US and Iran over the Middle East maritime chokepoint where 20% of all the world’s supply of oil and gas passes through, less than a month ago it was reported that Indonesia and the United States were quietly making mutual defense agreements likely involving another critical geopolitical chokepoint through the Strait of Malacca where virtually all oil/gas shipped to China and Pacific Asia navigates.

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts In his latest Dances with Bears, John Helmer reports Putin’s commitment to Israel, genocide notwithstanding: President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia and Israel make “a true common family; I can say this without exaggeration. Almost 2 million Russian speakers live in Israel. We consider Israel a Russian-speaking country…Without any exaggeration, I can say with pride that probably there has never been such a high level of relations between Russia and Israel, if, of course, we don’t go back to the very first months or maybe the first…

James Fetzerblog

Jessica Corbett “Republicans are out of excuses and should join Democrats and stop this war,” said one congressional Democrat. “Let’s put the pressure on.” Friday marks 60 days since President Donald Trump formally notified Congress of the US and Israel’s illegal war on Iran—a key deadline under a relevant federal law. In a new notification obtained by Politico, the White House claimed the conflict has been “terminated,” but lawmakers aren’t buying that argument. “That’s bullshit,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said of the latest notification on social media. “This is an illegal war, and every day Republicans remain complicit and allow…

James Fetzerblog

William de Berg The predominant narrative about the current Iran conflict is that Donald Trump made one of the greatest military historical blunders of all times by attempting to destroy a government and military of a nation of almost 93 million that hosts one of the world’s greatest reserves of natural resources and perhaps the third-largest fleet of advanced missiles and low-cost drones—all with a few thousand (belated) U.S. Marines and airborne soldiers and (initially) a single aircraft carrier over 1000 kilometers off-shore.  His supposed blunder resulted partly from the…

Aearnur, TRUMP: UNABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF WILL NOW FALL TO TOTAL IGNOMINY

James Fetzerblog

Aearnur        There are elements of Greek tragedy about the way Trump is falling. No matter what he does now, his fate is sealed. By seeking to double down in a vain attempt to save himself he will only fall faster It would be appropriate to feel pity for Donald Trump if he were not so blatantly incapable of any sign of pity or remorse himself. The man appears completely immune to anything approaching self-awareness or even the remotest belief that it is possible for him to make…
