One of the most well-written explanations of this hideous situation that I've read. Thank you.

Is Israel a US proxy state like Ukraine or is the US a vassal state of Israel? Both of these can't be true. In my opinion, I think the weight of evidence is that Israel is mostly a tool of US policy rather than a driver of US policy.

Slightly off topic. The military strategy of Iran is doomed to fail if they ignore the tactic of decapitation that they were on the receiving end of at the start of the Israeli attack. Trading drone and missile salvos with Israel is not a possible winning strategy.

The United States of America and Israel are one and the same entity. One cannot be the tool or vassal of the other because they are inseparable. And I respectfully disagree re your assertion that Iran must adopt the decapitation tactic. It really doesn’t achieve anything except for in the very short term—and often not even then. And I also think that you misunderstand the situation Israel/US is in regarding munitions—specifically air defence munitions and air-to-surface missiles. Their supply is significantly more limited than Iran’s stock of ballistic missiles. Iran will prevail in this war of attrition.

To me Israel has been a colonial outpost and regional enforcer, first for the British Empire and now for the American empire, to maintain hegemony. KSA, Qatar, Egypt and the rest have a choice - do they want to live in a region dominated by a racist and violent apartheid state backed by western power, or do they want to live in cooperation with a free and independent Iran.

Nothing upsets me more than all these in this Country who continue to display the American flag. How they stand for the pledge of allegiance (I assume to Israel) and sing The Star-Spangled Banner. In fours weeks they'll all be out in the street waving their little flags while belching out to all, God Bless America, It truly sickens me!

The Americans are the dumbest people in the entire world as solidified by the government. Just when you thought no one was worse than Dubya, along comes Obama, and then this illiterate, not once but twice. If the man had two living brain cells they'd kill each other. How can anyone not see how learning and intellectually disabled he is? Even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could both SEE IT!

As far as Little Marco Popcorn Fart Rubio goes, don't sell yourself short. There's more than ample chance the man truly didn't know the US was involved. The day that man speaks his own mind, he'll be a deaf mute.

Russia. What a puss. Russia and China could shut this down tomorrow. But they prefer to dance.

I would recommend 2 videos analyzing the meaning, context and situation of this heinous proxy war with Iran (part of an atrittion war to Brics itself, an hegemony war of the declining empire), and the inherent dangers in how USA will conduct their war to Iran, if they would be nuclear or not...

Perfectly expressed! The ultimate "victim" the desperate hegemon is stalking is of course China, which increased trade with the Zionist murder state in 2024. "The primary component of trade between Israel and China has been—and remains—imports from China. In 2024, imports rose from $11.268 billion to $13.517 billion, marking a 20% increase." It's something of a mixed bag - Israeli exports to China declined in 2024. Here's the link:

My question is, will China learn from the Iranian experience that if you wait too long, it may be worse for you than if you strike earlier? Iran has shown it can hit Tel Aviv at will, and maybe it should have done so before, in hindsight. Though it's an easy question to ask sitting here n the US, versus in Beijing and there are absolutely no easy answers, China needs to get more into action (somehow).It's naive and morally unjustifiable to increase exports to a genocidal state. Even their many defensive measures are morphed into nascent aggression by US politicians, think tanks and media mouthpieces, so taking action like sanctioning Israel or barring exports to it, has no real cost I don't think and would send a message in support of all humanity. The way events are trending, I don't really expect it.

As Leonard Cohen said, "There's a mighty judgment coming [for the US and the Zionists]", and I don't think he was wrong. Trump is lifting the veil from the US's 250 years of lies, hypocrisy and arrogant, selfish bullying. The US's own citizens may soon be forced to choose sides as the "Empire State" tears itself apart from within.

What's worse, even if it's actually hard to imagine anything worse, is there are few voices in US mainstream society & academia, who can, are, or dare, steer their country away from this extraordinarily perverted and humiliating relationship with the Zℹ️0nist state. Those brave enough are quickly smothered, de-platformed, threatened, and in some cases deported/excommunicated. So the US is terminally in self-flagellation mode. Curbing, extinguishing any embers of self-help and sovereignty remaining in the country.
