Memo to Iran: The Only Thing That Will Stop Bibi Is A Nuclear Bomb
• July 10, 2025
• 2,400 Words • 220 Comments • Reply
If Iran had a nuclear weapon, Israel would never have launched its attack on June 13. That is the one irrefutable fact that should guide Iranian decision-making in the future. Nukes equal security. It's that simple. Iranian leaders still oppose the development of nukes for religious reasons. They think that any weapon that unavoidably kills... Read More

You can usually tell which side won a war by simply observing 'what happens' after the hostilities end. Following the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, millions of Iranians poured onto the streets of Tehran, chanting patriotic songs and waving flags in a spontaneous display of jubilation. In contrast, there were no festivities... Read More

Here's Proof That Israel Lost the War

The American people are not being told why Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. Yes, Israel was rapidly running out of air-defense interceptors (making it more vulnerable to Iranian attacks.) But that issue is only of secondary importance. The real reason they wanted a ceasefire was because they were getting systematically pulverized and needed... Read More

First, let's state the obvious: Trump's pinprick attacks on Iran inflicted "no substantial damage" to their nuclear facilities. The bunker busting bombs did apparently strike near the entry of two of the facilities, but those sites were already locked down (evacuated?) in preparation for the bombing. The government announced on Sunday that all the enriched... Read More

President Donald Trump is threatening to launch air strikes on Iran for activities that are approved under the terms of Iran's treaty obligations.

China has never explicitly condemned the attacks of October 7. In China's view, October 7 can't be separated from the more than seven decades of Israeli brutality, apartheid and occupation. Naturally, this has drawn harsh criticism from Israel which expressed its "deep disappointment" over China's refusal to repudiate Hamas. Even so, China has not caved... Read More

A 2021 Gallup survey found that 60% of Americans view capitalism positively, while only 38% felt the same about socialism.
