Sachs Sucks?
Some people disputed my comments in previous posts about the unlikelihood of an American military assault on Iran citing Jeffrey Sachs, the economist who advised Gorbachev and Yeltsin on destroying the Russian economy. “Nuff” said about Sachs!
Suffice to say, he has rather less authority in the military sphere than Professor Ichi and Professor Chappy, who practice fighting every day.
But it seems that I was right, and I am officially y’know “disabled” according to Johns Hopkins.
A dear friend of mine — a retired Navy SEAL who operated in the Persian Gulf in 1987 — challenged my contention that the Abraham Lincoln is a vulnerable target because it is not going to sit stationary and is difficult to hit with conventional missiles while on the move. My friend is right on that point. But I don’t think he accounted for having a couple of Shahed-149s overhead with the potential capability to guide an Iranian missile to the target.
That’s Larry Johnson It’s a good article to read— although Johnson is a little misleading about the vulnerability of US ships to missile attack.
I say “misleading” because the Iranians would not only use “conventional missiles” – which is old kit --they would use such missiles to force the Americans to expend ammunition. They used this tactic in the last days of the 12 Day War, following up with hypersonic missiles delivering their payloads almost vertically in just seconds.
Yes, Iran could use drones for real-time targeting to feed data, but also its domestic satellite networks, such as the Paya, Kowsar, and Zafar-2, assuming it could counter American EW systems—which it can likely do,
Murmansk BN
Russia has supplied Iran with both the Murmansk BN and Krasukha-4 which are very powerful systems designed to jam the EW mounted on Growler aircraft.
The Houthis had nothing like this – and managed to defeat TWO carrier groups. OK….OK… The Americans say they just left the Red Sea for R&R.
The Venezuelans didn’t have advanced Russian EW systems either. Anyway, it was a holiday and they were mostly drunk. The Shiites don’t drink.
That aside, I rely on technical input only from the most trusted friends.
(Canadian) Navy Seal
The CIA / MOSSAD people tried a few more terrorist attacks in Iran, after their initial attempts — but these new attempts merely inflamed the Iranian public who called for full-scale retaliation against ANY conventional military attack by US or Israeli forces.
You will notice how Iranian rhetoric hardened after the terrorist attacks.
At the same time, however, the Iranians said they would prefer to talk rather than fight.
I think they recognize:
Trump has talked himself into a no-win position
If they offer him any kind of face-saving solution, he will go TACO.
All they have to do is agree to never make nuclear weapons which they don’t want to do anyway
They don’t need to agree to anything else because he’s desperate.
Of course, a “negotiated” deal, which the Donald will magically transform into total victory just postpones the inevitable.
The US does not have national geopolitical policies or agendas as they are defined in college political “science” courses – theirs is a kind of pathocratic religion—like the Christian Church in the 12th and 13th Century when it committed genocide against the Cathars, for...um… the sin of practicing a Christianity that Jesus would approve of.
The US, that icon of free enterprise, must wipe out the Multipolar Heresy and its sin of advocating free enterprise that Adam Smith would approve of. History does not repeat but it sings in four part harmony.
As Berletic keeps on reminding people who mostly don’t listen that the US are like this.
Until a greater percentage of journalists, analysts, and the general public can strip away the political theater used to perpetuate this continuity of agenda and reduce analysis to its material realities — revealing the simple structure of what is modern American empire at work — this destructive process will continue to erode and destroy both members of the multipolar world and the West itself.
Only time will tell whether or not the multipolar world can expose this process for what it is and propose a more compelling vision of a collective future for the world — and in the meantime, defend itself and its aspiring members from the global war Wall Street and Washington is waging — and now expanding — against the multipolar world.
However, I think we are fortunate to have Trump in power rather than a Democrat.
Democrats are just as morally compromised as Republicans or NeoConservatives – but they are much better at peddling sanctimonious bromides for the worst atrocities, making it seem they are working in the public interest, rather than the interests of their donors. Or in their own interests.
Trump—by contrast — lacks both intelligence and subtlety.
He blows — he is a blowhard and everything he does blows back. Stay upwind.
Yet, while he is one of the worst presidents ever – he is also paradoxically one of the best —because his idiotic excesses expose the cancer at the heart of the beast we now call the United States of American, long overdue for a Color Revolution.
My military advisor
Professor Chappy is an Authority on Strategy and Tactics.
He emphasizes situational awareness, speed, flexibility, and judicious use of lethal weapons (claws) . Cats are not only agile but are prepared to pounce or strike at any moment from any position.
I study constantly. But I am a poor student.
Please support Chappy and Ichi .
With a useless student like me, they need all the help you can give. You can support them by buying coffee of course but also by referring friends to this site or citing News Forensics articles wherever you can on the internet.

Plus there are Russian and Chinese warships arriving in the Gulf of Oman today. Plus all of those Chinese satellite photos of every single American and Israeli land-based anti-missile system in the region they so thoughtfully made public.
Our old buddy MAD is back in the picture. RT's saying the Russians are working on some sort of uranium enrichment deal. I suspect they're trying to give Trump some face-saving thing he can claim victory over when he backs down.
PS: "It's the End of the World!" was clickbait before there was clickbait.
If only Trump, after being hit on the head with the flat of God's Sword, could gather his few remaining brain cells together and say:
"Take me, good people for I have sinned. Spare my life and I will avenge you on all my former friends and colleagues with a wrath double yours, for though, through them, my soul is damned to Hell, I know where they reside."
