The Neocons have circumvented Trump, and they control the Intelligence operation even in Ukraine, which is a primary propaganda operation. As I have said, these pretend people who claim to be champions of Ukraine do not give a damn about Ukraine, this is all to destroy Russia. They have their hands in the Middle East. As I said, I would argue against Bill Kristol back in the ’90s when he said that we should take out Saddam from Iraq, Assad from Syria, and Gaddafi from Libya, and this would bring democracy and peace to the Middle East.

Let us be honest here. Israel decapitated the leadership of Iran and even wanted to take out the Supreme Leader. This was clearly a regime change in a country with a population of 90 million. Nobody has thought through the end game as they did with Iraq. What comes out of this is going to be unintended consequences. Trump ran on America First and to stop the Neocon endless wars. This is why this is a significant issue of Neocons vs Trump.

This will be the test of the Neocons vs Trump, since he has previously said that the Israeli assault could end quickly if Iran agrees to US demands that it accept strict curbs on its nuclear program, which is also sought by European countries. Trump has stressed that his administration wasn’t involved in the Israeli strikes but warned Iran not to attack U.S. assets in the region. Trump’s statement that “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” implies that Israel intends to pound the city and some say nuke it.

This is hard for me to believe, knowing personally that Trump was very much against war. This even raises a question in my mind: What the hell is going on? . . .
