My final statement on our conversation re. the now Iran 🇮🇷 vs USA 🇺🇸/Israel 🇮🇱 war. There has been no information presented by djt and his administration that the USA 🇺🇸 was under an imminent threat from Iran 🇮🇷. Conversely, there’s an abundance of information indicating that Iran 🇮🇷 was depleted and, consequently, wanted the negotiation initiative to continue (the apparent most significant difficulty of the negotiations was that the USA 🇺🇸 kept moving the goal line). As I said the other day, djt and his administration sound like teenage kids 🧑🦱👩🦱 answering their parents' question ~ why did you endanger the family and its residence doing what you knew wasn't permitted? Blah, blah, blah ....... as they throw everything against the wall to see if anything sticks.
The Constitution and laws of the USA 🇺🇸 require the POTUS to seek the approval of Congress to engage in war against another sovereign nation. If there was sound reason to enter a state of war with Iran, the administration through the National Security Council (which has been MIA) should have built the case and brought it to Congress for authorization. My God, the USA 🇺🇸 is still recovering ❤️🩹 from 20 years of war (authorized by the Congress based on false claims) to destroy Iraq’s 🇮🇶 WMDs (which did not exist), and to change the government there and in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ~ when all we should have done after 9/11 was decimate al-Qaeda (many members of which were from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦).
The only conclusion that I can reach is the obvious one ~ our ‘supreme leader’ started his war with Iran to change the subject from Epstein and the leader’s other publicly detestable domestic initiatives.
The only hope that I now have for the preservation of our beloved USA 🇺🇸 is that the free & fair voting 🗳️ capabilities of ‘We the People’ are preserved. This hope is far from certain.

When you’re a dictator your ends always justify your means, which we’re seeing with virtually ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ now. IMHO, this was the greatest fear of the Founders of our beloved constitutional federal republic when they wrote its Constitution.
When in God’s name will the ‘news’ media and the DEMS put it all together rather than jumping like outraged children from one of the dictator’s ‘everythings’ to the next at his whim?
Harrowing assessment Simon. Yes DJT “capacity to wreak havoc on the world “ is no comfort. We must stop this wrecking ball presidency as GCN has framed it. We are in the battle of our lives, for our lives!!
Bizarre contrasts! Hot yoga & spin class in the midst of war in Ukraine 🇺🇦. I read today the litany of munitions DJT regime is expending RIGHT NOW in feckless military action in the Middle East and weep in frustration at the lack of support for Ukraine. Dammit
Yeah, Trump basically rented out our military. He and his family get paid billions and the American taxpayer gets to pay for this. The Saudi, who were behind 911 yeah America first. More like America is for rent by the billionaires.
Great podcast Thank you Stuart and Simon. I am praying for peace and an end to the suffering. I pray for Ukraine to succeed and their future. And the war in the Middle East was not imminent and taRUMP did not have to supply the means to bomb Iran. And now our soldiers and sailors have died. Those munitions belong in Ukraine to protect their sovereignty and defend Europe. I pray for our people and for restoration of democracy
It’s actually Putin’s plan ..DT is far too stupid and addle brained to have any plan! The main reason for attacking Iran and Venezuela is to raise the price of oil! thereby funding Putin’s war on Ukraine! That is why Witcoff and Kushner were meeting with MBS in Saudi Arabia and Putin in Moscow. They all want high priced oil! Not peace negotiations. These windfall oil profits will fund Putin’s war machine. Putin is now drafting soldiers and will start building his own drones with this blood oil money.
Wow! and thank you both for this amazing and heartening discussion. And I have a question: Am I not correct in thinking, that although the stated rational for attacking Iran is a lot of BS, there are a few inadvertent outcomes that are good: 1)Russia is losing one of its major weapons suppliers and 2) perhaps Hamas, a cruel organization which for decades has had a stranglehold on the long-suffering people of Gaza, will be greatly weakened. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽i hope these are real results of Trump's stupid war.

Correction: Zelenskyy is more popular than DJT by 20 points in this country of America…. Amazing!
Harrowing assessment Simon. Yes DJT “capacity to wreak havoc on the world “ is no comfort. We must stop this wrecking ball presidency as GCN has framed it. We are in the battle of our lives, for our lives!!
Thank you Stuart, watching from Vermont.
Yes! Brilliant analogy! We the resistance must become the “drone builders” as you say Simon. Speak on it!
Wowza! Zelenskyy is polling 20 points over DJT in global polls?!?
Wow. The assessment of Ukrainian fortitude and expertise is impressive

Trump is more interested in what money he can make in the middle east than in helping Ukraine. It's all about him.
Yeah, Trump basically rented out our military. He and his family get paid billions and the American taxpayer gets to pay for this. The Saudi, who were behind 911 yeah America first. More like America is for rent by the billionaires.

I love hearing the truth, and being informed. Thank you😔
