Russia might be benefiting from higher oil prices – for a bit. But when the US topples the Islamic Republic’s capabilities, it will seriously damage Putin’s geopolitical project. The only ones rooting against us are Putin, Xi, the Mullahs, & Tucker Carlson. We must get this right. ¹https://x.com/i/status/2031096490349760660

Core takeaways Precision weapons have given modern militaries extraordinary destructive power, but power without strategy does not produce victory. It produces longer wars—the soft underbelly that has repeatedly undermined American power from Vietnam through the Forever Wars. The War Is Already Widening The Escalation Trap The danger now is not immediate defeat. It is strategic entrapment. Each escalation step appears logical in isolation.

Taken together, however, these steps change the structure of the war. …

Ενώ διακινούνταν πληροφορίες από τον μεσολαβητή του Ομάν ότι οι διαπραγματεύσεις ΗΠΑ-Ιράν βαίνουν καλώς, εν τούτοις θόλωσε τα νερά και ενώ γινόταν αντιληπτό ότι θα συνεχίζονταν μετά το σαββατοκύριακο, επενέβη -για τους μη μυημένους αιφνιδιαστικά- με αεροπορικές επιδρομές στο Ιράν μαζί με το επισπεύδον Ισραήλ.

Prof John Mearsheimer² argues that U.S. objectives in Iran—ending nuclear enrichment, stopping ballistic missile development, and halting support for groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis—cannot be achieved without regime change. They say true success would require: Removing the current Iranian leadership.Installing a new regime aligned with U.S. and Israeli interests. However, they contend there is no coherent strategy to accomplish this. They cite President Trump’s remarks suggesting that many potential replacement leaders are dead and that even if regime change succeeds, a new leadership could be just as hostile…

¹On 3 March 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking about the Iran war. I told the Judge that the Trump administration was dragged into this war by Israel and its enormously powerful lobby in the US. Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and House Speaker Mike Johnson have admitted as much and it is clear from listening to and reading the discourse on the internet that many Americans understand that this is another war for Israel. Iran was no threat to the US and there was no reason for…
