DW—Postol shifts focus to Iran’s nuclear program, emphasizing the rationality and levelheadedness of Iranian leadership regarding nuclear weapons.
Iran has not built a nuclear weapon nor taken a final step toward weaponization, understanding the geopolitical implications of provoking neighboring states like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and possibly UAE, all of which might rapidly seek nuclear arms in response.
Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability is maintained as a security guarantee against existential threatsfrom Israel and the U.S., both of which have expressed genocidal intentions toward Iran in rhetoric.
Iran will not abandon uranium enrichment as it serves as a deterrent preventing unilateral attacks and as a strategic leverage point in diplomacy.
Historical U.S. interference, including the 1953 coup and backing of repressive regimes, has contributed to Iranian distrust and hardened stances.

CH—Our suicidal march began long before Donald Trump and his bizarre court of buffoons, sycophants, grifters and Christian fascists took power. It began when the ruling class, especially under the Reagan and Clinton administrations, set out to harvest the country and empire for personal profit.

There is a word for these people. Traitors.

These traitors, ensconced in the leadership of the two ruling parties, stripped us of assets and power slowly. They used subterfuge, lies and legalized bribery. They pretended to honor electoral politics, checks and balances, a free press and the rule of law while subverting all of these democratic pillars. That old system, however flawed, was hollowed out. It was turned over to the amoral and the idiotic — look at the Supreme Court or Congress — those willing to do the bidding of the billionaire class.

HUA BIN—In my last article, I detailed the battlefield damage Iran has inflicted upon the US during the first month of the war.

The scale and scope of high-value asset losses by the US is astonishing, in contrast to the “victory” narrative spun by the Trump regime.

The depletion of its offensive and defensive munitions is unprecedented, especially since this is merely a “medium intensity” conflict in the grand scheme of things.

Although Iran is the most technically sophisticated adversary the US has fought directly since the Cold War, the country is a middling power suffocated by decades of sanctions.

For illustration, Iran’s 2025 GDP and defence budget were $356 billion and ~$9 billion. In comparison, Singapore’s 2025 GDP and defence budget is $604 billion and $17 billion.

Iran doesn’t have a real air force or navy. It doesn’t have a modern integrated air defense network (IADN) or significant space assets.

Iran’s battlefield achievements are the result of asymmetrical warfare with low-cost drones and short-range ballistic missiles.

These are clear indications that the US is militarily incapable to have a “great power” war with its dated technologies, low magazine depth, and high-cost low-density weaponry, which I’ll dive into in detail.

HUA BIN—To start out, let’s first call out the complete cognitive dissonance of the US ruling elite which has been the real shock and awe of this war of choice.

The Commander-in-Chief (more accurately, Liar-in-Chief) daily boasts of unparalleled military success and threatens escalation of violence, echoed by his sycophant bootlicker Secretary of War Crimes.

If they are to be believed, the US military is better than the Wehrmacht in 1940, who wiped out France and the Low Countries in 6 weeks. Or the Soviet Red Army who killed about 140,000 Japanese Kwantung Army and captured another 640,000 in the Far East in exactly 23 days in August 1945.

In his deranged mind, Trump probably imagines himself a greater military malice to the world than the Mongol Golden Hordes.
