02 / uncertainty

I don’t know about him, but I know Ben Shapiro, many other leaders of the Israel lobby in America celebrated the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria by Abu Mohammed al-Jilani, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq in Syria.

I think a worse war with Iran. He was entertaining the possibility of putting ground troops in there, [inaudible 02:06:29] catastrophe for this country.

04 / belief

At least to the degree that they’ve been able to afford to now build up a giant naval force that is capable of retaking Taiwan. And so I think the way to prevent that is not from making a bunch of threats and setting examples in other places about how tough we are, but to negotiate with the Chinese and the Taiwanese.

I’m from the United States of America, unlike him, and I care about the future of this country, unlike him, who’s here to serve a foreign power and make their case at our expense.

07 / observation

I said the problem is we’re talking about nuclear stuff, which is all very complicated, and most people don’t know much about it, which is what the war party is relying on, that people just hear nuclear, afraid, and mushroom cloud and give the benefit of the doubt to the hawks.

08 / prediction

Who thinks that if they break out and try to start making nukes now that any hawks supporting this war will take responsibility for driving them to it.

10 / evaluation

I’m just citing the Reuters news agency saying that this proactive action by Israel caused a negative reaction by your own lights, a very negative reaction in their beginning to again enrich up to 60% uranium. That means I’m just spinning for the Ayatollah or I believe that no one ever does anything except in reaction to Israel and America, except that I’m just citing specific examples of where that’s exactly the case.

Because they framed him for treason, so he was completely unable to engage in real diplomacy with Russia, and I bet that he’d agree with me on that one too.

12 / prediction

That was his words, a brain drain from Israel. That also then Hezbollah, as this is what he put it, and I agree with this, that conventional forces would have a bit more freedom of action in the region if Iran was sitting on an A-bomb.

” I think that he really could have, and I already said, I don’t know the details, but I believe Mark when he says that the Europeans were being intransigent on that.

That doesn’t mean that they are trying to get nukes. It does mean, as I already said, that they wanted to prove to the world that they know how to enrich uranium and that they have facilities buried deeply enough where, if we attack them, that would incentivize them to making nukes, and then we might be unable to stop them without going all the way toward a regime change, which they’re bluffing, basically betting, that we won’t go that far, considering how gigantic their country is and how mountainous and populous it is compared to Iraq next door.

Under the JCPOA, they shipped out every bit of their enriched uranium to France to be turned into fuel rods and then ship back into the country to be used in their reactors, and so they’re just trying to get us back in that deal. It is an illusion and I don’t know exactly what’s in this man’s mind, but it’s just not true that they’re making nuclear weapons, and it has been a lie of Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party regime, and for that matter, the Khatima regime of Ehud Olmert before him that this is a threat that has to be preempted when in fact it never was anything more than a latent nuclear deterrent.

That’s not the same as racing to the bomb. That’s why Marco Rubio says, “Never mind the intelligence,” because the intelligence says what I just said.

The Iranians had announced to the IAEA that we had built a new facility here, and we are going to introduce nuclear material into it within six months.
