From my point of view, having up to four F35s downed in Iran, that in itself is good enough reason for the Israeli’s to keep their planes well away form Iran’s air defenses, having gotten their fingers burnt. Naturally, the US MIC would have demanded this, as the downed F35s are bad for marketing. Remember how the F117 downed over former Yugoslavia resulted in the immediate grounding of all such planes in the conflict.

One must keep in mind that Western MSM immediately labels the Iranians as “weak” and “failing” the moment that Iran subsides just a little.

Mr Mercouris’ description of Mr Trump’s hesitancy about ordering an attack on Iran reminds me, oddly enough, of David Irving’s account of how Adolf Hitler shilly-shallied before launching Germany’s attack on Poland in 1939.

August 24 Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression (Molotov-Ribbentrop) Pact signed in Moscow.
August 25 At 3:02 pm, Hitler announced “Fall Weiss!” Then he froze the attack on Poland.
September 1 The German invasion finally began.

Betw these comments and those of Simplicious, Im wondering whether its actually Israel acting on behalf of the US neocons as part of their stupid pivot to China policy (note the rail link completion that Simplicious pointed out), and, now Trump feels obligated to pull Netanyahu out of the mess the neocons got him into. The risk of assuming a decap strike wouldnt get the job done had to extraordinarily high right from the start. Minimally, the attack was a win-win opportunity (Israel threat reduced, China belt&road frustrated), and Trump rolled the dice on this risky proposition. This probably also… Read more »

Dr Mathew Maavak wrote an article (published in RT) about a horrific Israeli child abuse scandal, just a day or so before Israel attacked Iran. This was discussed in the Knesset. RT published the article on 12 June and Maavak mentions a hearing ‘last week’, so it would be very recent. If it was discussed in the Knesset, it seems to have been something big.

Putin, Ukraine running out of time. Trump, Fordow bunker busters. Kallas, Russia 360 threat
