TONY CARTALUCCI—In the world of geopolitical analysis, it is not often that a signed and dated confession can be cited when describing conspiracies against another nation-state. In the case of US meddling in Iran, Brookings provides just such evidence – nearly 200 pages long – detailing everything from fabricated opposition, US sponsorship of terrorism, and even engineered provocations by the US and Israel to trigger a full-scale war.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—When perhaps the top daily-news leftist website – the World Socialist Web Site – has the phrase “brutally exploited Iranian working class” in their first sentence, something is clearly out of balance.

PETER KOENIG—”…our enemies are too many outside the environment of society and the country. There is a front of enemies against us. Well thankfully, we have delivered blows to this front until today.

DIANE GEE—It is becoming impossible to have a real conversation around here. Being an out-where-the-buses-don’t-run, fringe leftist has always made conversations difficult. The neo-cons think we are crazy. The liberals think we are delusional purists. The centrists don’t think at all… wait, that’s not fair. The centrists mostly think that our system is as fixed as gravity, a universal truth that cannot be changed, so any activism is tilting at windmills; hand me the remote, let me get a beer and chill already.

CHARLES PIERSON— Landler writes that Trump “holds a radically different view of the United States’ role in the world than most of his predecessors” and has broken with the “rules-based postwar international order” the US has upheld for the past seventy years. Hogwash. Even before the coming of Sauron the Orange-Haired to Washington, the US was a lawless, imperialist Leviathan.
