Many progressives, such as Robert Reich and Kyle Kulinski, argue that the economy needs a universal basic income (UBI) to fix it. Their argument stems from the idea that UBI has no serious flaws, that many studies show success, and that it’s the moral thing to do.

An example that these progressives would cite would be the Denver UBI experiment. The study had three groups of people. Group A had $1,000 per month, and Group B had $6,500 for the first month; the other months were $500. Group C had $50 a month. The study concluded that giving money improved their overall well-being.

As the saying goes, it’s too good to be true; the results alone are exaggerated by UBI proponents. The actual results show that in Group A, which received a total of $12,000 in a year, 44 percent of them are housed. Meanwhile, Group C received $600 in the year, and 43 percent were housed. Even though Group A has 20 times the value of Group C, both had similar results.

Ironically, the study was not universal because it denied participants who were “having severe and unaddressed mental health or substance use issues.” As a result, the findings are cherry-picked because they removed people who could make the results look bad.

Even if the study were accurate, the results would be different if applied by the government. One of the biggest potential differences we would see from UBI on a more permanent basis is what Milton Friedman called the permanent income hypothesis. The hypothesis states that “consumers base their spending decisions on their average long-term income rather than their current income.”

An example would be a person receiving a gift of a few hundred dollars from a birthday party. That person would go on to save it or splurge it on an expensive product. However, this money would not change their spending habits for an average week because they knew the birthday money was temporary compared to a raise in a job.

Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that people would act differently if UBI were permanent compared to case studies in which it was temporary. In the case studies, all participants knew the money was temporary. As a result, they will try to ration the money differently because of a different mindset.

Another problem with UBI as a government program would be funding. The funding for the case study was not from tax dollars; it came from private donations. Based on the book Cooperation and Coercion: How Busybodies Became Busybullies and What that Means for Economics and Politics by Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan, people respond to actions differently if the ideas came from cooperation or coercion. In the case studies, the people who funded the operations did so because they were happy to cooperate.

However, if UBI becomes a government program, it would be through taxation. Taxes are not cooperative actions, but rather they are coercive actions. As a result, taxes would change the economic activity of the area more than the case studies would ever do.

After all, people do leave areas because of taxes. An example would be Illinois. An article from the Illinois Policy Institute using IRS data found that “nearly 56,000 people and over $6 billion in income left in 2023.” Besides moving, economists Christina and David Romer published a study in the American Economic Association, finding that a $1 tax on GDP has caused a $3 decrease in GDP. Not only that, a working paper in the CBO found that labor bears 70 percent of the corporate tax burden.

Taxes to fund UBI would require a massive tax increase as a government program. According to the founder of CBPP, Robert Greenstein, it would cost $3 trillion a year, assuming it goes to 300 million people and provides $10,000. Greenstein put into context the tax dollars needed to fund this program: “The figure equals more than three-fourths of the entire yearly federal budget — and double the entire budget outside Social Security, Medicare, defense, and interest payments. It’s also equal to close to 100 percent of all tax revenue the federal government collects.”

Even though proponents of UBI will try to argue that it will help people by giving them free money. However, as Milton Friedman once said, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

The Genetic Kill Switch Introduction

We are living through the final act of a planned global genocide. According to my research findings, Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci are not adversaries — they are tag-team partners in a depopulation agenda that uses a binary weapon to trigger a genetic meltdown of the human race. (I’ll explain more below…)

The first component of this weapon is the spike protein contamination from mRNA injections, which Fauci orchestrated through gain-of-function bioweapons research at the Wuhan lab and laundered into so-called vaccines via Operation Warp Speed (pushed by Trump).

The second component is nuclear war, which Trump is likely to invoke to “finish the job” in Iran. The fallout of radioisotopes causes double-strand DNA breaks in human cells, and the spike protein has already suppressed DNA repair by 85–90%. Together, they form a kill switch that will melt down the genetic integrity of billions of humans and end humanity as we know it.

Here is how this unspeakable plan was set in motion, why the government lies about radiation risks, and what you can do to survive.

The Spike Protein Bio-Weapon: Fauci’s Contribution to Mass Genetic Contamination

Let’s trace the chain of command. Fauci, through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology via Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance. Newly released documents show Fauci actively protected Daszak from federal scrutiny while suppressing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab leak ^[1]. The result was a gain-of-function spike protein toxin.

As I have previously reported, the spike protein’s modified cleavage site was engineered into the mRNA, and that same synthetic spike is now being produced inside billions of human bodies via the so-called vaccines ^[2].

The genetic damage from these mRNA injections is catastrophic. A ground-breaking Swedish-Chinese study showed that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein impairs DNA damage repair and inhibits the BRCA1 and 53BP1 pathways ^[3]. In plain English, this means the spike protein suppresses the cell’s ability to fix broken DNA by 85 to 90 percent.

The result is turbo cancers, immune failure, and accelerated aging. On top of that, the mRNA shots are contaminated with bacterial DNA plasmids that can integrate into the human genome and trigger cancer ^[4][5]. This is not a vaccine, in other words — it’s a genetic bioweapon designed to contaminate the entire population and prepare every injected person for the nuclear “genetic meltdown” kill switch.

Trump’s Complicity: From Operation Warp Speed to Nuclear War

Trump cannot pretend to be innocent. He authorized emergency use of the mRNA injections, bragged about Operation Warp Speed, and repeatedly protected Fauci from prosecution. Emails have now revealed that Fauci and then-NIH director Francis Collins agreed to suppress the lab-leak theory for political reasons, and Trump’s administration did nothing to stop it ^[6]. In fact, Trump’s own FDA commissioner, Marty Makary, recently stated that Fauci was “100% involved” in a “massive” COVID origins cover-up ^[7]. Yet Trump never held Fauci accountable. Why?

Because they are co-conspirators. They answer to the same boss.

Now Trump is set to launch nuclear weapons in his desperate escalation of war with Iran or Russia. As of early 2026, Trump has escalated rhetoric against Russia, shortening a “50-day” warning to “10 to 12 days” and threatening strikes deep into Russian territory. This is a deliberate provocation designed to trigger a nuclear response that could kill up to 200 million Americans from the initial strikes alone.

The radiation from those bombs will circulate globally and cause double-strand DNA breaks, but the spike protein has already disabled the body’s repair machinery in billions of people. That means billions of human beings will die from genetic damage that could have otherwise been self-repaired if not for the presence of the spike protein, an engineered toxic and part of a binary weapon system targeting human genetic integrity.

The Government’s Radiation Lies: Why You Cannot Trust the ICRP Model

After a nuclear detonation, the government will parrot the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) model to claim that low-dose radiation is safe. Do not believe a word of it. The ICRP model deliberately ignores the effects of internal alpha emitters like plutonium and uranium. When you inhale a single hot particle, that particle lodges in your lung tissue and delivers a concentrated dose of radiation to a tiny cluster of cells, causing catastrophic DNA damage that the spike-suppressed repair system cannot fix. The same government that locked you inside during COVID will now tell you to go outside and breathe the poisoned air. Do not obey, or you will likely die.

The truth is that the ICRP model was designed by the nuclear industry to minimize liability, not to protect human health. As I have documented in my reporting, the establishment has lied about radiation risks for decades ^[8][9]. They know that alpha emitters inside the body are far more dangerous than external gamma exposure, but they hide this fact to greenlight nuclear war while pushing expensive pharma treatments. The endgame is to finish what the mRNA jabs started: complete genetic destruction of the human race.

Defending Yourself: Knowledge, Clean Living, and Natural Remedies

Survival requires action. You must detox the spike protein from your body using nutritional therapies and proper detox protocols. You must support DNA repair with nutrients that enhance homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining, including zinc, magnesium, resveratrol, and turmeric. I have discussed these protocols at length in my special reports on reversing mRNA damage ^[10]. Equally critical: eliminate toxic personal care products, stop consuming processed foods laced with MSG and glyphosate, and switch to clean, organic whole foods.

My upcoming free genetic survival course will detail specific foods, molecules, and practices to repair double-strand breaks, mismatched base pairs, and other genetic lesions. Clean blood, clean (fertility) eggs, and clean sperm will be the new gold in a world filled with DNA mutations and widespread infertility. Those who are informed and prepared will be the remnant that rebuilds humanity. The time to start preparing for genetic survival is now — before the bombs fall and the radiation clouds spread.

Conclusion: The Remnant Will Survive

Fauci and Trump are, in my opinion, agents of a satanic death cult intent on the genetic destruction of humanity. Fauci unleashed the spike protein bioweapon; Trump enabled it and is now provoking nuclear war to finish the job.

But we can stop them by refusing to comply and by arming ourselves with knowledge. Genetic integrity will become the most valuable asset on a ruined planet. Stay tuned to my work for the free survival course that will teach you how to protect yourself and your family. The human race can survive this if we reject the lies and stand for truth, health, and freedom. I will not stop exposing these criminals until the final whistle is blown.

Prepare your body, your mind, and your soul. The remnant will prevail.

Accoridng to the poll, 58 percent of respondents disapproved, and 10 percent did not offer an opinion on his job performance.

According to a report by The Hill, Trump’s approval rating marks a new low for Trump’s presidency in the center’s polling. A CNN survey conducted within the same period reported an approval rating of 34 percent for the president.

By and large, the GOP still supports Trump. At the time of polling in July, 66 percent of respondents surveyed approved of Trump’s job performance, while only 12 percent of Republicans disapproved. The results are a notable difference from the university’s June 24 poll, in which 85 percent of Republicans expressed confidence in the president.

A White House spokesperson told The Hill, “No other President in history has accomplished more for the American people than President Trump, who is working tirelessly to create jobs, cool inflation, increase housing affordability, and more. The President has already made historic progress not only in America but around the world, and this is just the beginning as his agenda continues taking effect.”

This isn’t exactly a balm for those suffering under the weight of rising fuel prices and grocery store inflation that seems to be running away at this point. People care less about the words of politicians, and are seeing the destruction of their livelihoods.

More than half, 54 percent, of respondents said that the US is not winning the war, compared to the 36 percent who said they believe the country is winning. Eleven percent had “no opinion” on the matter. Additionally, 66 percent said the conflict has not been worth the benefits.

America Has Lost the War: We’re Now in a Fighting Retreat — Here’s Why It Matters

Horrifyingly, 67 percent of Republicans say that the war with Iran has been worth fighting.  It looks like party lines are here to stay. People choose a side and toss morality aside in order to keep in line with their political party.

To be fair, the Quinnipiac University poll pn;y surveyed 963 self-described registered voters across the country. Polling took place from July 23-27 with a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points.

BMW CEO Milan Nedeljkovic is expected to announce the voluntary reduction program at a staff meeting this week, some of the sources said. They added that the plan would be launched in October and run through 2027. The company intends to reportedly cut around 5% of its total workforce.

The automaker employed 87,436 people in Germany as of late 2025, which accounted for more than half of its global headcount. The company has already been making gradual reductions, with a reported decrease of 2.3% compared to 2024, according to a report by Bloomberg.

Universal Basic Income Debate Surfaces As AI Technology Advances, Taking Jobs

Officials and business representatives have repeatedly linked the decrease in jobs to a crisis of high energy costs resulting from Berlin’s decision to abandon cheap Russian oil and gas imports. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz admitted earlier this month that Germany’s “ongoing energy crisis [was] due to the lack of Russian gas.”

Several countries are experiencing the beginnings of an energy crisis. The US is seeing astronomical gasoline and diesel prices as the war rages with Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Houthi rebels in the Red Sea are making shipping fuel difficult in that region as well. There doesn’t seem to be any reprieve for those on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder right now.

German workers are expected to be particularly affected as the manufacturer is dealing with high production costs in Europe, as well as plunging sales in China, according to reports by several mainstream media outlets.

The Federation of German Industries (BDI) warned last week that the nation’s industrial sector was losing 15,000 jobs every month in what it described as a “critical” situation.

Unfortunately, Germany has struggled with near-zero growth for years. It contracted in both 2023 and 2024, the first back-to-back annual decline in more than two decades, and is forecast to grow by just 0.5% this year.

The renewed strikes marked the first US attacks inside Iran since Trump paused the bombing campaign Friday. The halting of attacks came after 13 consecutive nights to allow diplomacy another chance; however, Iran continued to say that negotiations were not underway.

Trump: US And Iran Engaged In “Very Friendly” Talks

During the pause in fighting, reports started to surface saying that the US was low on missile defense systems and other weapons it would need to finish off this war it started with Iran. The ruling class allegedly halted weapons shipments to Ukraine, as its own military stockpile plummeted.

US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet

Iran’s missile launch was said to be the reason that a brief pause was ended and both countries have now returned to fighting, with direct exchanges occurring between Washington and Tehran.

CENTCOM described Tuesday’s missile launch against the US as an attempted “surprise attack,” claiming that all the incoming projectiles had been intercepted. The command did not initially mention Jordan, saying only that the missiles had targeted US forces “based in the Middle East.”

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps later claimed responsibility for the attack. The IRGC said it was responding to “aggressive actions” by the US military and warned that its operations would continue as long as Washington persisted with what it called “illegal and malicious actions” against Iranian interests. -RT

Speaking later at the White House, Trump confirmed that Iran had fired five missiles at American forces and credited US Patriot air-defense systems with intercepting all of them. “We’re going to be hitting them very hard because it’s our turn to hit them,” he added.

America Has Lost the War: We’re Now in a Fighting Retreat — Here’s Why It Matters

I’m not predicting WWIII; I am certainly not calling for WWIII; I’m doing everything in my power to prevent WWIII and illuminate the causes, risks, and general results of future war. We are in a quasi-war with Russia, with Europe planning to fight. We are at war in the Middle East with no end in sight. We have stolen China’s oil source in Venezuela and threatened Denmark with our might. The last decade has seen the entire globe turn from firm allies and admirers of America to disgruntled partners and enemies ready to fight.

What we do know is that this pathway to war can easily result in war itself, and once Shakespeare’s “dogs of war” have been released, that chaos and destruction follow on a massive scale and political actors are incapable of stopping it. War is harmful and provides zero benefits to the population. It only provides benefits to some politicians, the military-industrial complex, the deep state, and the global power elites, including the big bankers who finance both sides, only to be paid back by taxpayers.

Citizens typically have a very narrow view of the causes of past wars as well as the risks and results of war. This limited and often incorrect knowledge is created by the government, the educational systems, and historians who mostly glorify war.

War is caused by conflict within government and between states. The consequences are always horrific and greater than initial expectations. There are no good outcomes for typical, normal citizens who typically suffer the most as soldiers or non-combatants. War is not the only government policy that results in a large number of deaths, injuries, and ruined lives, but it is certainly the leading cause of those negative results. It also destroys homes, business capital, markets, and all types of networks that facilitate human interaction, including trade relationships.

Propaganda has convinced the American public that WWI (which the vast majority of Americans opposed at the time) was caused by the assassination of some Austrian Prince on holiday. Likewise, Americans (who also overwhelmingly opposed entering the war) have been led to believe that the normally sure-thinking Japanese just randomly decided to sucker punch the USA at Pearl Harbor. These and other supposed causes of other wars are entirely inadequate and factually laughable.

It seems that Americans (along with most people from all other countries) have been the dupes of war. Americans have also been taught to believe that WWII got us out of the Great Depression when, in fact, Professor Robert Higgs has shown quite factually that the economic and living conditions for Americans at home were just as bad during the War as in the Great Depression—they were just working much harder for the same result and doing without most of the normal comforts of family life. Americans forced into the war effort lived a hellish existence, and many died or were maimed mentally and physically. Many of those who survived domestically or lived to tell the tale of their forced adventures refused to speak of their experience or limited it to one or two “exciting details.”

There are plenty of propaganda efforts out there designed to conceal the real costs of war. One popular one is that government-funded research or wartime innovation helped win the war and/or had all sorts of secondary benefits for the general population. These obvious propaganda stories conflict with actual history and cause-and-effect analysis. President Dwight D. Eisenhower—the commander-in-chief of Allied Forces in WWII—specifically warned us that the prime beneficiaries of war, the military-industrial complex, would use complex propaganda and psychological warfare on citizens to ensure that the MIC clients would continue to receive a massive flow of taxpayers’ dollars.

Ludwig von Mises explained that the typical causes of war are only about the timing of war and these “causes” are often “false flags” initiated by one side in order to cast blame on the other side. The Mukden Incident of 1931 gave cover to the Japanese for a large-scale invasion of China, the Gleiwitz incident of 1939 was the excuse for Hitler to invade Poland, and the sinking of the Maine was the excuse used for the US to go to war with Spain. The same is true with Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and all the wars in the Middle East.

Aside from the timing and the initial ignition switch discussed above, Ludwig von Mises wrote about the fundamental causes of war which were things we could make better or worse just by changing our minds. His thoughts are based on logical reasoning and the weight of history.

Statist ideology and state worship are primary causes. The basis and purpose of society is human betterment by allowing the greatest scope of human choice and action. Statist ideology says no. The purpose of society is the glorification and grandeur of the state. Here the state uses its resources to secure support through gifts, privileges, and power sharing arrangements like democratic voting.

Ultimately, the state wants to engineer the force to engage its chosen enemy with the power of total war (anything goes, civilians are expendable, unconditional surrender, and take no prisoners). Ideological conditioning and subtle propaganda techniques are used here to alter the meaning of true patriotism, which is the willingness to oppose your own government for doing evil things. Propaganda reconfigures that into false patriotism, where you are willing to tolerate harmful and unethical government behavior and actually support such policies.

Closely related to this concept is nationalism. People are constantly conditioned to accept whatever their nation does and to oppose what other people and other nations are doing. Nationalism gets priorities completely backward. Our first priority is to ourselves, especially if that means to be prepared and to persevere in the support of one’s family and friends. Good households are thereby in a position to be supportive of their schools and religious groups, their hospitals, charities and civic groups that in turn help hold together the local society. It goes without saying that entrepreneurs, companies, and workers in the community are automatically self-sustaining as long as the community practices a high degree of laissez faire. The economy provides the sustenance of the community. Virtually any community that practices full laissez faire (with no taxes and regulations and 100 percent property rights) in an otherwise interventionist society will thrive.

Nationalism has no priority. Patriotism for the nation is the indirect result of not impinging on individuals and communities, allowing individuals and communities to thrive. Such thriving communities are exactly the source of a nation’s ability and willingness to defend itself against foreign invasion.

Mises also wrote extensively on how statist ideology would lead to the adoption of all sorts of domestic interventionism in terms of government. Rather than competitive market regulation, progressive taxes on everything, controlling institutions such as central banks and public schools, establishing monopolies and monopolizing rules, and infusions of government money and red tape in industries like medical care. Everything that Karl Marx asked for in his Communist Manifesto!

As the domestic interventions weakened and sickened local economies, voters and politicians would reach out to interventions attacking “unfair” foreign competition, which in reality is a boon to consumers and domestic competitiveness. Here, tariffs, quotas, prohibitions of imports, trading blocs, and military alliances would harm us by dispensing with our competitive economic advantages while simultaneously constructing a list of foreign enemies. International conflict, foreign affairs, and heightened military preparedness thus emerge.

Let us not be the dupes of war; let us not unleash the dogs of war.

The War Is Over — and We Lost

Today is a pivot point in the conflict. As of today, I believe the United States has decisively lost the war with Iran, and we are now in a fighting retreat. This is not speculation or defeatism but a sober assessment based on undeniable evidence. Colonel Douglas McGregor and other military experts have been warning for years that the U.S. military machine cannot win a sustained conflict against a determined, geographically gifted, and technologically capable adversary like Iran. Now their predictions have been validated.

Former US counterterrorism chief Joe Kent, a Green Beret and CIA paramilitary officer who served 11 combat tours, resigned in March 2026 in protest against the war. In his resignation letter, he called on Washington to withdraw its forces and abandon its bases in the Middle East, arguing that months of confrontation have demonstrated Iran’s strengthened regional position ^[1]. The mainstream media and the administration spin this as a tactical pause, but the reality is strategic defeat. From destroyed bases to offline radar, every indicator points to a loss that the American people have not been told about.

The Evidence Is Overwhelming: Bases, Radar, and Interceptions

All US bases in the region are damaged or destroyed; radar installations are offline, leaving us blind. The Pentagon claims we intercepted most Iranian missiles, but that is laughable. As I detailed in my earlier analysis of Iran’s war strategy, their approach is to blind, deplete, and overwhelm our defenses ^[2]. Centcom’s assertion of near-perfect interception rates is contradicted by experts like Ted Postal, who put actual interception rates in the single digits (percentage-wise).

Yesterday’s surprise ballistic missile attack on US bases in Jordan shows Iran is now picking targets while we react. As one Middle East analysis put it, the war on Iran has been a strategic disaster for America and Israel ^[3]. The US and Israel appear stuck in a doom loop of their own making, with Iran imposing terms on the battlefield that Washington cannot counter. We have lost the initiative, and our military credibility is shattered.

Chess, OODA Loops, and the Iranian Advantage

It looks to me like the US is trapped in the OODA loop, forced to react to Iranian moves while Iran initiates. Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern noted that the United States appears to be using Israel as a proxy to wage war on Iran, much like Ukraine was used against Russia ^[4]. But that proxy strategy has backfired spectacularly. Iran’s methodical, patient strategy stands in stark contrast to the chaotic, spur-of-the-moment decision-making and desperate media spin from Washington.

As Andrei Martyanov explains in The Real Revolution in Military Affairs, modern warfare between technologically advanced opponents is defined by drone deployment, hypersonic weapons and new realities that render immense budgets meaningless ^[5]. Iran has the discipline to endure losses and wait for the right moment, while US leadership is erratic and often driven by ego. The consequence is that Iran now has more incentive to resist US demands, even if war restarts, as Israeli think tanks have admitted ^[6]. In other words, Iran is fully committed to standing by its demands, and it will never surrender to the United States military, no matter what conditions unfold.

The Strait of Hormuz: The Lie We Can’t Admit

Trump has repeatedly claimed we control the Strait of Hormuz, but that’s never been true. Iran controls it. No US naval vessel has successfully transited the strait under fire; we can’t even escort tankers. The economic catastrophe of the closure has triggered shortages in oil, gas, helium, and fertilizer, leading to supply chain chaos ^[7]. The US is bluffing, and the world sees it.

The reality is that Iran’s position in the strait is unassailable. Bombing Iran is like trying to bomb the geography off the face of the Earth, and it won’t work. Thanks to a series of unwise decisions at the highest levels, our military credibility is now all but gone, and the Strait of Hormuz is the tombstone of American naval supremacy.

What a Fighting Retreat Means — and What We Should Do

We are conserving what’s left, but the war is lost. The only rational path is peace. I call for the US to leave the Middle East immediately, stop propping up Israel, and focus on self-sufficiency.

Since peace is unlikely to break out any time soon — because truly insane people are in charge of the American empire right now — prepare for supply shocks, higher prices, and war escalation. Decentralized living is the key to survival.

As Dennis Kucinich said in our interview before the war, we must embrace peace and reject the war machine ^[8]. America must learn from its hubris and recognize that the era of global domination is over. It’s time to rebuild at home, not bomb abroad.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that several ballistic missiles had targeted a US air base and what it described as a US Central Command headquarters in Jordan. The group said the strike was carried out in response to “aggressive actions” by the US military and warned that its attacks would continue as long as Washington continued its ”illegal and malicious actions” against Iranian interests. –RT

This revelation flies in the face of US ruler Donald Trump’s insistence that “friendly” talks are occurring between the US and Iran. Iran has denied that negotiations are taking place.

Trump: US And Iran Engaged In “Very Friendly” Talks

According to a report by RT, all the incoming missiles had been successfully intercepted, CENTCOM claimed, adding that American forces remained “vigilant and at a high state of readiness.”

Several videos shared by open-source intelligence trackers appear to show intense air-defense activity in Jordan, including near Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, with US Patriot systems reportedly engaging incoming threats.

CENTCOM also recently stated that the US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz have not been effective. The US appears, for all intents and purposes, to not only be losing this war, but also lying to the American public about the loss, claiming peace talks are ongoing.

CENTCOM: US Strikes Around The Strait of Hormuz Not Effective

Trump claimed that he had suspended the bombing of Iran to allow the alleged talks to proceed, while threatening to “beat the hell out of” Iran if no agreement was reached. It does look like no agreement has been reached.  The discussions reportedly center on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reviving negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

Tehran continues to deny holding direct talks with Washington, saying it is communicating only with Oman about arrangements for the key waterway. The US is not involved in these discussions, according to Iranian officials.

Ukrainian forces struck the Anna early on Saturday, causing an explosion that killed one Iranian sailor and injured another. It also angered Iran’s ruling class.

Kiev’s foreign minister, Andrey Sibiga, initially said that “Iran has no standing to pretend to be a victim,” only to call Tehran a day later and assure it that the attack was unintentional and that Kiev did not seek escalation, according to a report by RT. Sibiga said that Ukrainian operations are solely aimed at countering Russia and were “never intended to target civilian vessels or people,” while calling on Tehran to end its alleged support for Moscow.

Sibiga also said that Iran was attempting to divert attention from Russian strikes on Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea, before shifting his rhetoric. He also denounced Iran’s complaints as “unjustified and groundless” and referred to the Iranian government as “the regime in Teheran.”

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said on Tuesday, “Was assured by Ukrainian FM that the attack on an Iranian ship was unintentional and Ukraine seeks no escalation,” Araghchi wrote on X. “Iran does not seek escalation either, but made clear any attack on our citizens or interests is unacceptable. There must be restitution for losses.”

It’s unlikely Kiev will pay any kind of restitution to Iran, and as long as Iran refuses to retaliate, this could all fall to the wayside and be forgotten. However, if Iran insists and becomes persistent with Kiev, problems could quickly arise, such as the escalation Kiev claims it isn’t seeking.

Iran may think escalation is necessary, and if it does, Ukraine could be dragged into the Iran war as well. Was this always the inevitable outcome of both these conflicts? A coalescing into the third world war?

Iran Vowed Retaliation After US Seizure Of Cargo Ship

Iran has largely restrained itself as the US goes on constant attacks; however, right now, strikes appear to be paused while the US claims talks are underway and Iran denies negotiations are taking place.

As for Netanyahu, Graham was also a close friend and ally, having a habit of cozing up to countries hell-bent on being in a constant state of war. In fact, Graham bragged earlier this year about “coaching [Netanyahu] on how to lobby [Trump] for action” against Iran. In additional video footage released by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, Graham can be seen speaking to Netanyahu by phone, telling the Israeli prime minister that he was “going to try to get him to join with y’all in Lebanon, to maybe fly some with you.”

Graham is well known for his constant demands for involvement in conflicts and war, and the desire for more funding to use more military force around the globe. His legacy will match the theme of his funeral.

As RT put it:

Graham’s legacy is one of constant agitation for US involvement in foreign wars. At the time of his death, Graham – who in 2022 called for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin – was working on an anti-Russian sanctions bill, and had just returned from Kiev, where he toured a drone factory and apparently expressed glee that the weaponry there would be used to kill Russians. –RT

On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal published video footage of Graham reacting to the opening strikes of the US-Israeli war on Iran in February. “I almost cried,” the Republican lawmaker said in the footage. “I mean, like, how long have we been pushing this? It’s here. I talked with Trump this morning. Holy Jack. It’s here. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

US ruler Donald Trump also made comments about Graham’s war mongering during the funeral. Trump repeatedly referred to the South Carolina Senator’s enthusiasm for conflict. “He was extremely hawkish,” Trump told mourners. “He never saw a war that he didn’t like…he wanted it for the good of our country.”

The horrific “gift” of war has been handed to the American public, and yet we don’t want it.  This was a disturbing display of death and destruction, and it felt more like a bad propagandized plot for a dystopian movie, not a real funeral. Unfortunately, until we have people unwilling to obey these sociopaths, we will continue to have war.
