Alastair Crooke just said on Judge Nap that this was fully baked Dec 30....or when ever it was that BiBi and Trump were together.....the so called negotiations with Iran were 100% fraud.

More like "Art of She Chose You".
It may be you are unaware of how little choice you had.
My first date with my GF of 20 yrs. was not the greatest. Went to Red Lobster, spent over $60 and left still hungry. Haven't been back since...

Fake news. Bitch, A-10s can fly in Iran right now, STFU.
Hand the Kurds a radio and anything in their way will be obliterated by the time they get there.

Further thoughts and observations on Trump and Israel's war of choice with Iran:1. The pattern of the Trump administration's conduct - hapless efforts to justify the war, ever-shifting war objectives, exaggerated gestures to signal control - all suggest that, only a few days into the war, Trump has already lost control.2. 19th-century Prussian strategist Helmuth von Moltke famously said that "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." But this goes beyond that. Trump's plan A came crashing down only 48h into this war. The administration's plan - based on an exaggerated view of Iran's relative weakness - was that the theorcacy in Iran would implode shortly after the assassination of the Supreme Leader. By Monday morning, before the markets opened, the war was supposed to be over, and Trump would be basking in yet another glorious victory, proving all his skeptics wrong. But no such implosion has occurred. Nor are we seeing signs that it is likely to occur in the short term.3. As a result, it is increasingly Iran that is defining the geography of this war, its intensity, and most crucially, its length in time. This does not mean that Iran is winning the war - there is no evidence of that at all. But Iran's prospects of getting Trump to lose the war or cut it short are increasing precisely because Trump is scrambling for a Plan B. Indeed, in comparison, George W. Bush's Plan A in Iraq didn't start falling apart until August 2005 - five months into the war.4. As the failure of Plan A became clear, and as Trump realized that the Iranians would not agree to a ceasefire, Trump started shifting his messaging. Knowing that the Iranians thought Trump could not sustain the war for long, Trump suddenly started saying that the war may go on for four weeks - seeking to disabuse the Iranians from the idea that time is on their side.5. Rather than declaring victory (having killed the Supreme Leader), Trump has decided to throw good money after bad, but now with an even more shocking plan: Arming Kurdish separatists in Iran and, most likely, also sending US troops into Iran through the Kurdish areas together with Israeli special forces. What was supposed to be a 48-hour air campaign is fast deteriorating into a land invasion with US troops on the ground.6. Neither the Iranians nor Trump will back down in the next few days. Trump thinks he can turn the tables on Iran with his Kurdish plan, and Tehran believes a land invasion will help unify the population against invaders and separatists. Both believe they can absorb and sustain the casualties, which likely will be massive. Yet, not a single death in this unnecessary war can be justified.

TRUMP’S 4D CHESS TO PROTECT THE DOLLAR!Let’s look at the cold hard benefits for the US in the Middle East chaos!→ Trump is protecting the dollar by breaking BRICS!BRICS pushes hard for de-dollarization, trading in local currencies — obviously bad for the US.Bluntly: if people stop using the dollar worldwide for trade, the US can no longer print money freely, and can’t sanction anyone anymore properly.-> Trump vowed to fight BRICS (video 1). BRICS members are important: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Indonesia. (Note: war now also between BRICS members.)Over recent years these countries increased trade with China and among themselves in local currencies and grew closer. (Picture 4)This unity threatens the dollar and US dominance, so the first move is to fracture it.The steps:1) Pull Arab countries closer to the US with big deals. Trump used 2025 to strengthen economic ties and sign huge agreements with rich Gulf states. They are bound to the US again. This after Biden pushed them away and really breaking the relations.2) Gain control over Venezuela’s oil. This unlocked massive previously untapped reserves the US can use immediately, while controlling all revenue and sales. (video 2)Crude move, but it makes sense in hindsight.Now the US has access to huge oil reserves and no longer depends on the Middle East. Key point!After shielding itself from oil price shocks and securing enough supply at chosen prices, next step:3) Break BRICS unity!Iran long threatened to attack US Gulf bases and even the states themselves for aiding strikes on Iran.In 2025 Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE joined BRICS and aligned closely with China.In 2026 Iran bombs Saudi Arabia and UAE, while the US defends them. China backs Iran.→ BRICS fractures back into China-aligned vs US-aligned camps. BRICS countries fight each other now.4) As oil prices explode, the US sells its own and Venezuelan oil in large volumes.Europe is screwed again: Russian oil/gas banned, Middle East deliveries halted.→ They must now buy at exorbitant prices from the USA. This could even redirect global energy flows.Summary: BRICS broken, dollar protected, oil sales generate extra revenue, and half the Middle East once again needs US protection.If this is the plan, it’s far from stupid. It would significantly strengthen US hegemony — at least for a while.PS: From this perspective attacking Saudi and UAE facilities to drag them into the war, benefits the US.
