So Mr Trump's "gut" tells him more than anyone else's brain? Compare this:
"As his intuition could not be faulted with logic because it [had] a visionary origin and lacked any basis of logic, he considered them to be fault-finders and pedants and eventually he cast them aside".
- Christa Schroeder, “He Was My Chief; The Memoirs of Adolf Hitler’s Secretary”, p.5
Trump doesn't HAVE 'reasons'. Unfortunately. Iran will force a new show in the "theatre". As for Pakistan, it cannot win in Afghanistan If the US couldn't neither can Pakistan.
At the present time, I am refraining from comments. Only two points that are very important: 1. One must understand that this is not only about destroying the Iranian state, but beyond that, everything in West Asia must be classified within the struggle against BRICS and the emerging "multipolar world." 2. With the destruction of "America's Eye" (FPS-132) in Qatar, with a range of up to 5000 km, and other radar stations, disaster begins for the USA and Israel.
At this point, it is hard to predict what will happen next. Impossible even. However, that said, I think you are absolutely correct. This is a war against BRICS-- especially against Russia and China.
A thought on the fall-out from the Greenland affair: Trump has launched this attack on a Saturday morning. The first bond market of any size will open in Tokyo on Monday; Mr Macfarlane, since you are in the locality, you might want to see what fireworks go off then?
Is this enough time for the stock brokers to calm down and not panic in the way they did when Trump stated - on a Thursday - that there might be war in Greenland? The other problem for Trump is the closure - or even the threat of closure - of Hormuz. That will make a few billion for the futures speculators!
After all, that crash on the bond markets calmed Trump down very quickly indeed. He might have needed a sedative and a change of nappy as well.
Now Keir Starmer has said that British assets are in the area; if they do get involved, it will mean that RAF Akrotiri becomes a legitimate target. This is an important air field for the Israelis, because when their own airfields are under threat, the Israeli F-35s can shelter there instead of their own bases.
Merz, Macron, Starmer, and von der Leyen are calling on Iran to immediately cease its "arbitrary attacks" on countries in the region. They condemn Iran for its military actions and demand that Iran promptly resume negotiations with the United States. Furthermore, they state that they stand in solidarity with the USA and Israel. What pathetic people they are. There are hardly words for it.
Of course, I cannot predict the future. But I would know what I would say to that: "Fuck you yourself."
Like Hollywood movies, the US is all about the violation of logic, Logos and Kinetic Physics. See ‘Superman’ “leaping tallest buildings” and every war-movie, car-chase and thriller ever made there.
The US has been turned into a nation of idiots led by charlatans and other idiots.
I pity the sane and normal among the population. The political 'elite' of thousands contains no more than a handful of sane people though it is possible that some very effectively only pretend to be idiots.
I might add that with the Epstein Files only partially revealed, millions of 'elite' Americans are also clearly criminally insane psychopaths. In fact, self evidently, there is a global conspiracy of psychopaths. Something many were ridiculed into believing could not exist.
The Canada i left was not the Canada my uncle leo died defending in 1944. Its not the country i grew up in. Its now a country that castrates little boys, gives money and weapons to nazis in ukraine and supports unprovoked wars of the USA.
In short, a disgrace.
Canada will disintigrate unfortunately, or perhaps, inevitably.
Nationality is a state of mind. It is also a necessity enforced by bureaucracies. Gotta have a passport! My grandfather and uncle died with chunks of metal in their body, which they acquired fighting the Germans. Was it worth it?
The RBO states are just US vassals pretending sovereignty. They will follow the US as they only aspire to irrelevance. Ditto that clod who sits in the UN Sec gens chair.

Personally - It would surprise me not at all if this was another negotiated 'you hit-we hit-quit and call it peace like the 12 dayer last year'. If not... .from. January....
Understanding Iran – (Very simply - you want $20 per gallon gas? Allow Trump to let DaUS attack Iran on behalf of DaSynagogue of Satan......and see what comes next. - CL)
"...Now, the perception they’re trying to create is that the attacks were so devastating that Iran’s ability to contest the air has already been destroyed. And certainly, the initial US and Israeli repors of the death of the Ayatollah Khamenei and part of his family at the family home turned out to be true.
However, there are some anomalies to note here. First, if Israel had total air supremacy in June 2025, why was it Israel who begged for the ceasefire? Second, why didn’t the Iranians attack the US carrier groups that were attacking them? Third, how were the US and Israeli bombing campaigns able to disrupt or destroy the underground bunkers with the relatively small explosive packages available to the fighter-jets and missiles utilized? Fourth, why are the Iranians attacking luxury hotels in Dubai with drones even as they insist they are attacking military targets?
And fifth, why did Khamenei stay at home, awaiting the inevitable attack, instead of doing what most heads of state do and directing operations from a secure bunker. Sixth, why are there reports that Netanyahu attempted to fly to Cyprus, was denied permission to land, and was forced to fly to Berlin instead? Shouldn’t he be in a command center like the Short Fake Trump?
Which is why I don’t think we should pretend to actually have any idea what’s going on. Never forget that after 30 days of air supremacy and bombing so relentless that they came under attack every 10 hours on the average, an Iraqi division still retained 85 percent of its vehicles in working order. That was a long time ago, and certainly technology has improved, but it’s a fact of military history worth keeping in mind.
Another anomaly: Iran agreed to zero stockpiling. The proclaimed justification for the attacks is obviously false, as per an Omani diplomat:.....
....Finally, who are the regime’s replacements? Is it possible this is just a larger version of the inside job on Maduro by Iranians beholden to Clown World? If we see a rapid peace deal promptly declared with the new Iranian regime that abandons BRICS and stands with Israel, we’ll have a pretty good idea what actually happened."

Oh, Tom..."I am not worthy...I am not worthy"....
Trump's gut. He needs to take a dump.
"Trumpty Dumpty"
Well...My Sensing didn't show me the serious reasons that made Trump destroy the USA and the Zionist breeding nest.
But we are now in the military maelstrom and have to wait for its terrible outcome.
Trump removed the top general in the Pentagon who warned him.
He ignored that and he will be punished for that.
We will need some days with crossed fingers to see if he can be stopped, but Iran will continue destroying the West-Asian Theatre.
Not even Pakistan can stop them, even when it seems to win in Afghanistan.
Just saying.

I agree. My sensing shows a bit of my discussion with Grok in 3 steps:
1. Operational where the fuck is the USS Ford Carrier ?
2. Tactics: How far should US Navy be from Iran to be save and how long can that last ?
3. Strategic: Just follow it.

Seriously disappointed Canada is as dumb as the USA in thinking ? Iran wants nuclear weapons .
Carny vacillating as a vassal does after his famous speech at the WEF.
Both Canny and Polly are kissing American ass.
As a Canadian I too am severely disappointed in our Canadian leadership for supporting the War on Iran .
According to Venessa Beeley, the straits have now been closed.

I haven't written about Epstein, fascinating as it is. I guess will have to do that.
Please don't!!!
Epstein is the crack through which we can espy who really rules us and at the same time, why it is such a shit-show.
Keeping all that in the public eye is a service to humanity.
They must be stopped, fast and brutally.
Julian, you are a canuck.....by choice.
So WAS I, and I emphasize the 'was'.

We are living in interesting times.

Response to your post about passports that I was unable to post on my Substack timeline. Or whatever they call it.
***
I have held a passport since I was nine.
On my return to Britain and the impoverishment that involved, it has not been possible to return to Europe - or anywhere else.
What is the point of renewing my passport when it expires on the 10th of this month?
Thanks for your great work Julian!

World leaders. The Worst and Dimmest. Trump is an avatar.
It kinda verifies what I've always thought, that Trump listens to his colon/ass.
Yes, that's why his head is always up his ass.
If the loss of life weren't so tragic, it'd be a comedy, although in tragedies people get married, while in comedies death visits.
I'd like to say that I'm surprised at all the rah-rah cheer-leading from many self-identified conservative, MAGA, and previously anti-war outlets.
But I'm not.
Tribalism trumps principles again. I'll take credit for the pun.
Cult thinking. MAGA is a religion. The US does not have political parties -- it has cults.

I don't think there will be a repeat of the 12 Day War.
