The US Empire wants a fragmented Iran and is desperate to control the world supply of oil, save the dollar, and to strangle the Chinese economy. The operative word is desperate. The US ultra rich, the empire, are scared shitless that their wealth and power will evaporate with the falling dollar. And it appears to be doing just that. Israel is their clueless Mideast enforcer. But the empire is pulling this shit all over the world.

Please stop with this same old and tired "war for oil" mantra. We heard the same thing back in 2003. The fact of the matter is that Israel and their Zionists team that control Trump want total hegemony for Israel, so that they can take all of Palestine, with no country left in the region to object to it. The plan was set forth in a policy paper for Netanyahu, called Clean Break, and written by neocons, back in 1996. Look it up.

These same neocon Zionists then got jobs in the Bush Administration to carry out their plan, starting with Iraq.

This "war for oil" mantra is designed to divert attention away from what Israel is really doing. And by repeating this mantra, you are doing Israel's work for them.

From the text of your article: “new definition of “America First”: if Israel chooses to go to war, then America Goes First.” & “By lunatics, Trump was not referring to his Israeli partners, but to the government of Iran.” Aaron, I only wish you wrote more often!

Absolutely right, Aaron. Trump's remarks are actually closer to the truth. Rubio appeared to be frightened as he tried to lie his way out of complicity. I think maybe (maybe) even your average US "news" consumer might be starting to take notice of the desperate lies being told.

Transparent sophistry by Rubio. Had US policy principals objected to Israel attacking in any way, they would have decisive leverage over Israel. US being the shield behind which Israel must hide to stand a chance doing any of this, the supplier and often financial donor for Israel's essential weapons, and the main source of Israeli diplomatic cover (esp wrt/ ICC/ICJ who would rightfully complete prosecution of Israel for genocide, were it not for US threats).

All of them, to a man - and woman - were vetted by the R/D party leadership for their allegiance to Israeli interests. While they are in power, US and Israeli policy is indistinguishable.

Up next: Israel made us bomb and starve Cuba.

Analysing what these cretins say is like parsing the contents of a pig sty.

Yes, it's utterly degrading.

Let’s get one thing straight.

Trump has largely dropped MAGA after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and picked up the Donor Class torch since then.

His keeping Pam Bondi in at the DOJ is proof of that, as she continues to block all Biden Admin prosecutions and the release of the most damning Jeffrey Epstein Files.

In a mere 60 years the US has gone from JFK (not perfect by any means but a man with a real education and class) to a man with a hairsprayed bleached comb-over, spray tanned face and a baseball cap with a slogan on it who announces we’re going to attack a sovereign nation. I swell with pride that he can proudly proclaim bombing Iran first was HIS idea dammit.
