Can Israel & the U.S. Sustain Iran's Military Power? (w/ Alastair Crooke) | The Chris Hedges Report
Can Israel & the U.S. Sustain Iran's Military Power? (w/ Alastair Crooke) | The Chris Hedges Report The Iran War has just begun โ€” but already, Iranโ€™s military prowess, and Americaโ€™s and Israelโ€™s impulsive imperial hubris, is on display. Read Alastair's Substack here:โ€ฆ

Iran planned for a long war. The U.S. gambled on imperial might.

Alastair Crooke breaks down Iran's decentralised missile strategy, a rising Shia Jihad & the end-times fascism driving the US & Israel.

Imperial oil wars only accelerate ecocide and extinction.

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?

WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

NEWS โ€” Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

โ€œEverybodyโ€™s afraid not to wear them,โ€ a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trumpโ€™s wishes.

Weโ€™re officially in the dumbest timeline.

Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
