I waited until Trump’s speech was over to see if I had missed anything worth watching. I checked the price of hold, silver and oil: there was no need to watch it.

Two more weeks. Here is the fallout:

If the US was replaced by “Country A”, the world would be even more solidified against the US as the aggressor in this war. I have not forgotten the Iranian hostage crisis or their funding of terrorism. I take into consideration that Israel and the US have been funding Hamas, al Qaeda and ISIS.

I consider the assassination of a nation’s leader during ongoing negotiations to be a cowardly act. There was no declared war and no war has been declared by Congress (who cowardly went on vacation). For those who disagree, see Pearl Harbor.

But to get right down to the point, I am disgusted in the actions of the United States at the direction of Israel. I am disgusted that our “government” has been bought and sold by a foreign nation. And I am disgusted that Trump started a world war to coverup the Epstein files.

Many people will have objections to this post. They will point out that Iranians have funded terrorism throughout the Middle East. I agree and ask how much did they fund versus the revelations this past week concerning the US and Israeli funding as I have already stated?

Trump is giving a message to the nation tonight – April’s Fool Day. How much credibility will you give him?

… this is not an April Fools joke.

What is Donald Trump going to say about Iran on Wednesday night? Before I layout three possible outcomes, let’s examine what Trump is actually doing in terms of some key military assets (all of this is from open source reporting).

So what is Trump going to announce?

Option 1 — Declare that negotiations with Iran via intermediaries (e.g., Pakistan) are progressing and that they United States is going to cease combat operations against Iran in order to support the negotiations and achieve a peaceful resolution.

Option 2 — Declare that victory has been achieved and that US forces will begin withdrawing from the region, leaving the status of the Strait of Hormuz in limbo.

Option 3 — Announce a massive air and ground operation to secure the freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

The deployment of the A-10s and the Apaches can only mean one of two things:

It is a show of force intended to pressure Iran to return to the negotiating table.
The US is going to launch a massive attack against Iranian assets in the Persian Gulf, especially those located in and around the Strait of Hormuz.

From Vox Popoli

It wouldn’t be a good idea to invade Iran under any circumstances. But doing so when both Russia and China are sending warning signs about the idea would be criminally insane:

There is now confirmed presence of a Russian nuclear submarine near the Strait of Hormuz. There is also a Confirmed Announcement by Chechen Forces they will enter Iran to fight US if Invasion takes place. REPORT (unconfirmed) China to move 100,000 troops into Iran if US invades.

Moscow has officially deployed six submarines, including two nuclear ones, near the Strait of Hormuz for a discreet mission to protect Iranian infrastructure, according to reports. Their primary role is to prevent the United States and Israel from freely entering the strait or approaching the Iranian coast.

This deployment sends a strong political message to the West, signaling that any major escalation against Iran could directly involve Russia. The presence of two nuclear-armed subs also seems to indicate that if Iran is hit with nuclear weapons, another nearby country that attacks will also be nuked.

Yesterday, Chechen Troops were publicly assembled and at that assembly it was announced they would go to Iran to fight the United States and Israel if Iran is invaded.

No doubt the Christian Zionist eschatologists are tremendously excited today about prospects of the King of the North and the King of the South being miraculously wiped out on the plain of Megiddo. Although I would point out that the loss of a single light-infantry division would hardly cripple Russia, and there is no way the Chinese are going to transport 100,000 troops to the Middle East any more than the US military is.

That being said, a single division of battle-hardened Chechens would probably be sufficient to defeat the IDF, which reportedly took several hundred casualties in a major ambush yesterday morning. The report, which is still unconfirmed, actually claimed that 300 Israeli soldiers were killed after a large convoy moving north in southern Lebanon was ambushed by Hezbollah in a pre-prepared killzone.

The numbers are almost certainly exaggerated, as the media can’t seem to grasp the difference between “casualties” and “fatalities,” and nothing can be trusted coming out of Israel from either side due to the strict military censorship there. It’s doubtful that even those living in Israel would know anything about it yet.
