«Und während Sie über Ungarn mal dies hören und mal das, sollten Sie besser schleunigst nach Brüssel sehen, wo von der Leyen das Projekt der Zweckentfremdung der EU, der Vergewaltigung der europäischen Verträge und der finalen Entmachtung der Nationalstaaten vorantreibt, als gäb’s kein Morgen. Ein Projekt, das nie etwas anderes als Ihre eigene Entmachtung, werter Bürger, war, die unter dieser Kommissionspräsidentin natürlich verlässlich aufs Hässlichste verschleiert ist.» (– Martin Sonneborn)

Washington’s Latest Big Lie: Iran’s 47-Years War on America
At the center of the White House justification for launching still another Forever War stands the most hideous neocon lie yet. And it’s one that blatantly betrays every campaign promise the Donald ever made on the subject. The latest Big Lie, of course, is that rather than starting another Forever War, the Donald is ending […]

War with Iran: Making the Same Mistakes All Over Again, or a Host of New Ones?
For anyone looking into the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, what’s laid bare is not a history of friendship, diplomacy, and mutual respect, but rather a past marked with covert action, harsh rhetoric, and now, hot war. In 1953 the CIA directed an overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran and reinstalled “the Shah” – […]

Will the Dollar Be a Casualty of the Iran War?
President Trump’s unconstitutional and unjust war against Iran is setting back his “affordability” agenda. The war has caused a big rise in gasoline prices. Among the related concerns is the hindering of the movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, the only available passage for ships to transport oil from the Persian Gulf The […]

Israel Planned War on Iran for 40 Years. Everything Else Is a Smoke Screen
It is near impossible to make sense – at least from the justifications on offer – of what US President Donald Trump really hopes to achieve with his and Israel‘s blatantly illegal war of aggression on Iran. Is it to destroy an Iranian nuclear weapons program for which there has never been any tangible evidence, […]

The War on Iran – and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy
The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that […]

US and Iran Were Close to a Deal Before Trump Chose War
Iran has an “inalienable right” to enrich uranium for civilian use, Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told the U.S. delegation with frustration in the final round of talks before the bombs started to fall on Iran. And the U.S. has an “inalienable right” to stop you, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff answered with hubris. Araghchi […]

‘Drill Baby, Drill’ Ain’t Going To Save the GOP From a War-Driven Affordability Pounding
There is more history percolating up in the current Iranian madness than just another failed Forever War. It’s going to be the end of the Trumpified GOP too, and that means that a motley menagerie of Dem statists, spenders, regulators, lifers, wokests and outright freaks are likely to be swept back into power in the […]

At Sea: Goliath Crushes David (David Wasn’t Even Fighting)
Americans of a certain disposition are cheering and thumping their chests in celebration of the fact that their navy, the largest and most-expensive navy in the world, just sank the first “enemy warship” with a torpedo fired from a US submarine since the Big One that ended in 1945. And so it did: a not-yet-identified […]

In Iran, Israel’s Morbid Military Cult Now Has the US Fully in Its Grip
The admission this week by US secretary of state Marco Rubio, echoed by Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, that Israel forced Washington’s hand in attacking Iran has rightly caused consternation. Breathing life into something that would normally be treated as an antisemitic trope, Rubio argued that the Trump administration had been left […]

America’s War on Iran Has Always Been a Bipartisan Effort
American bombs are now falling on Tehran, and while Donald Trump ultimately pulled the trigger, administrations before him – Republican and Democrat alike – constructed the gun, and even loaded it. In 1995, US president Bill Clinton issued executive orders banning US investment tied to Iran’s petroleum sector and, soon after, most US trade with […]

Seoul Watches THAAD Leave and Counts the Cost
Washington is reportedly moving missile defense platforms from South Korea to support the Israeli/US attack on Iran. As it does, Seoul is counting the increasing costs of the alliance. First, there is the obvious and headline grabbing financial costs. The United States has progressively sought greater burden-sharing from partners, including higher host-nation support payments, expanded […]

Trump’s Reasons for War on Iran: Fact Check
In building his case for his war on Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump says he asked his team for a list of Iranian attacks on the U.S. and U.S. interests: “Over the last 47 years. I said, ‘give me all of the attacks.’ If I told you all of them I’d still be talking.” Trump […]

The ‘Empire of Lies’ Comes for Iran
Benjamin Franklin said it best: “There never was a good war, or a bad peace.” Now that war is again underway – the third attack on Iran in two years – people of healthy human consciousness must pray that the destruction and carnage is limited. Yet the trajectory appears to be grim. Wars often progress […]

Donald Trump’s Unjust and Unconstitutional War
Over the past weekend, some apologists for President Donald Trump’s recently ordered attacks on Iran argued that because Trump’s plans call for a quick strike, the attacks do not constitute a war. George Orwell is vindicated yet again. These apologists believe that calling a war something else means it is not a war, and so […]

They Are Still Lying About Iraq
They are still lying about the Iraq War. The lack of shame exhibited by the US government as it lies about Iraqi improvised explosive device (IED) attacks that killed thousands of American service members to justify its new war on Iran is breathtaking. President Trump led off his press conference today, the first since the […]

Your Children’s War
The United States and Israel initiated joint strikes across Iran with President Trump now advocating for regime change in the country. The strikes are largely reminiscent both in preparation, scale, and execution of Operation Desert Fox, a 1998 American bombing campaign in Iraq which claimed to prevent further proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by […]

On War Powers, Questions Aren’t a Working Substitute for Action
On February 28, US president Donald Trump took the United States into a de facto, but not de jure, state of war with Iran. That is, he ordered the US armed forces to strike targets in Iran (the de facto part) without first securing the constitutionally required declaration of war from Congress (the de jure […]

Stuck in Another Disastrous Middle East War
Unfortunately, President Trump listened to the neocons and Benjamin Netanyahu instead of his MAGA base and other voices of caution as he launched a surprise attack on Iran over the weekend. For the second time in nine months, the US Administration used negotiations with Iran as a cover to launch a pre-planned attack. Last week’s […]

How US/Israeli Iran Strikes Will Penalize Global Prospects
On February 28, 2026, President Trump announced the start of Operation Epic Fury. In a surreal twist, he described the mission’s primary objective as defending the American people by eliminating “imminent threats” from the Iranian regime. Trump specifically cited the need to eliminate Iran’s nuclear ambitions, destroy its military infrastructure and undermine Iranian-backed groups in […]

Trumpy Puts Washington’s War Machine Out On Loaner to Bibi!
The sheer barking hypocrisy of the Donald’s, yes, unprovoked and senseless attack on Iran over the weekend is surely one for the record books. After years of noisy campaigning against the Forever Wars and 12 months back in the Oval Office spent in hot pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize, the Donald has not only […]
