Dear Folks,

And now a word from CGTN, directly out of Beijing, to explain the US-Israeli-Iran war, without the propaganda, by the way.

The other question is: Is Israel now destroying itself from within, just through practicing war on it's neighbors, and perhaps committing genocide?

And, is Israel now nothing but a rogue state?

We will never get the truth from Trump, nor Hagseth, and should we even expect it?

Thankfully; thanks to China's news service, and mostly to Jeff Sachs, we still do have access to truth, if we would ony listen.

Listen to, for example, this video of Jeff, just recorded.

There is truth, and then there is truth.

Best regards,

Gamma

Enjoy the Truth, if you will.

No denying the man (Sachs) said what he said.

"CGTN is the English-language news channel of state-run China Global Television Network, based in Beijing, China. It is one of several channels provided by China Global Television Network, the international division of Chinese state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV), under the control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party".

In short: Iran was expectng to be "stifeled" eventually. Developing "low cost drones". Selling them to Putin. Now the US needs a 2 million Dollar missile to bring down a 400 Dollar low cost Iranian Drone?

Eventually, "Math" will take over.

Not exactly...

In short, "Bibi BamBOOZLED himself" into thinking that Iran did not have second-strike capabilities. And then Bibi bamboozled Trump into starting a war for which he was unprepared, based on false premises that Iran would be an easy nut to crack.

And now, they are beginning to attack desalination plants in the region.

And, the next EVENTUALITY is that Bibi will begin to consider using NUKES.

In short, one can find another dose of TRUTH, watching this vid:

Mainly he underestamated the opposition because Trump is no more then a village idiot playing war games. The truth about all the idiots dealings will all come out one day and peopel will see the moron for what he is, a total and vindictive loser and always has been.

It's a bit ironic that an Islamic Republic which holds marriage to a 9-year-old sacred sets out to vaccinate the world against a teenlover, but that's what we get for erasing any such distinctions.

They have called in Zelensky to help, and we can only imagine what this means to Zelensky personally, from being the back yard dog Usa wanted to get rid of, and now suddenly have experience and valuable tactics to down Irani drones.

US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones, Zelens...

Ukraine's president says Kyiv will only help if doing so does not deplete its own air defences.

A intervjue with Zelensky who proudly tell about the request from the Americans.

Caolan Robertson. He is described as an Irish-born journalist and documentary filmmaker, known for reporting from Ukraine; his YouTube channel says he is a full-time Irish journalist based in Kyiv

These countries are full of war machines.

It is what they are built on.

Why would anyone impinge on them?

Don't you think Iran already has nukes after all these years ?

Of course they have the material, and enough, some say, to make about 10 bombs, maybe within days or weeks.

Still, let us wait and see if Israel destroys desalination plants, and then if Iran retaliates in kind.

After this, we can easily escalate further.

No.

The Iranian drones cost about USD30,000.00 per unit.

Minimum of one.

There is no unlimited supply of these missiles.

Also, annual fabrication quantity is quite constrained.

We should stop providing these missiles to Israel; they are needed elsewhere, such as in East Asia, etc.

Israel, under its present regime/leadership has already become expendable.

Their choice, and..

Not the world's choice.

They dug their own hole.

Let them be buried in it.

Also, many Israeli citizens are fleeing Isreael.

They are tired of constant war.

Living in such a failed/rogue state is no way to live.

Leave Israel to those over age 75, those dried up old men who will die soon, anyway.

There is and will be no redemption for Israel after genocide.

There is never forgiveness for such crimes, as should have been learned by all....following WW2 War Crimes.

There is truth, and then there is truth...

then there is "opinion", forcefully and at length. It's not disguised as neutral journalism; it's explicit anti-war/anti-U.S.-empire commentary from a prominent critic.

This is almost entirely opinion and interpretive analysis, not straight news reporting or verifiable fact-checking journalism. Sachs is stating his strong, highly partisan opinion as an anti-interventionist, anti-imperialist commentator. He's not "merely" stating opinion—he's layering it with selective facts, historical framing, casualty claims, and predictions that mix verifiable events with heavy spin, exaggeration, and unproven assertions. It's persuasive commentary designed to rally opposition to U.S./Israeli policy, aired on a Chinese state-affiliated outlet that consistently aligns with narratives critical of the U.S. and supportive of Iran/Russia/China. Breathtaking soul fodder for brainwashed sheep libtards, all the Trump haters and those who hate Hegseth and America too.

Predictions of inevitable "economic catastrophe for 2026," "World War III," or a failed U.S. land invasion are speculative doom-casting, not facts, and more gullible laced sheep fodder. Accusations of "genocide" in Gaza/Iran/Lebanon and "mass murder" normalization via propaganda are his interpretive judgment, not neutral reporting—widely echoed in anti-Western circles but rejected by U.S./Israel as baseless or Hamas/Hezbollah propaganda.

No balance: No counterpoints from U.S./Israeli officials, no mention of Iranian threats/actions that preceded escalation, no discussion of Iran's nuclear ambitions or regional proxies.

Well, you can try and call the good guys liars, but as usual libtards have no proof of anything except for their overt and ongoing buffoonery.

Prove this wrong, "show us you're not all feckless buffoons":

Missiles are down -90%, but as of yesterday,

one-way drone attacks are down -95%!

• "Iran has no air defenses, Iran has no air force, Iran has no navy, their missiles, their missile launchers and drones being destroyed or shot out of the sky."

• "Their missile volume is down 90 percent. Their one-way attack drones yesterday, down 95 percent."

• "And as the world is seeing, they are exercising sheer desperation in the Straits of Hormuz. Something we're dealing with, we have been dealing with it, and don't need to worry about it."

• "We're on plan to defeat, destroy, disable all of their meaningful military capabilities at a pace the world has never seen before."

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/watch-hesgeth-says-more-than-15000-enemy-targets-have-been-hit-in-iran-conflict

When you put it like that there's nothing to worry about.

Of course, the US intelligence knew about Iran's military and other resources. So did Israel. They even have informants at the heart of the system.

But Trump recently confirmed that he bases his decisions on his feelings! 🤣

Iran should surrender, give it up before Hegseth turns Iran into a dust filled parking lot full of goat dung.

Maybe soon he will seize Kharg Island, the central hub for the country's crude oil exports. Without Kharg functioning, Iran's ability to export oil at scale would be crippled, underscoring why it's seen as one of the most strategically vital sites in the country.

I have read $20K per Shahed Drone, but no matter.....generally systems fire 3 Patriot missiles or missiles from a THAAD at each drone, so the economics work much better for Iran.

Using those $20-30K Shahed Drones, Iran destroyed a $1.2 billion THAAD system in Qatar and another one in Abu Dhabi.

As for dirty bombs, fortunately the best enrichment Iran has ever achieved is maybe 60%, so actual nukes are still a long way away. Of course, before Trump tossed the JCPOA, Iran only had medical grade enrichment, and they ceased trying to go higher.

Trump is like the arsonist who starts a fire, and then demands applause if he puts the fire out. Of course, the fire Trump set he cannot put out, absent either hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground, or else genocide with nukes.

I think Trump will choose genocide, as that would definitely get him in the history books...and isn't that what it's all about.

You like genocide? Seems to be a hit in MAGAstan, especially with armchair warriors and other paper tigers.

While it's true the mullahs have higher ratings in Iran than Trump has in the US, a majority of Iranians would probably like the mullahs to go away. That means the majority of folks you want the drunkard Hegseth to vaporize are innocent.

Gee, what a great policy! We could have cops do it, too. A bank robber runs into an elementary school, so just drop a 2000 lb bomb on the school and voila! No more bank robber. ALl the kids, well...just collateral damage.

All the Iran experts were fired. Mike Collins (agency seconded to DNI) was fired last year because Trump disagreed with his analysis."Ayatollah Mike", who ran the Iran Desk at the agency after he left CTC (getting ObL) retired. "Tom" (NFI), an agency ops officer and particularly knowledgeable re Iran, was shelved and decided to retire. The FBI's Iran pros all got fired because they also worked other counterintelligence cases, such as investigating the guy who stole hundreds and highly classified documents and stored them at his Florida wedding planner facility (Trump).

But Trump and Hegseth probably watch Gerard Butler in the movie "300", so that kind of makes them experts, at least in MAGAstan.

The US produces only 100 of the missiles per year that go into the THAAD system, at current production rates. Trump had to remove an existing THAAD from South Korea and have it shipped last week to the Gulf.

Possibly, so then, what could they be waiting for, the marine force currently enroute to seize Kharg Island and essentially control the oil flows out of Iran?? Maybe they are waiting for Obama and Biden to send some pallets of cash so they can build some missiles? Keep in mind the US just destroyed all military targets on Kharg Island yesterday. The island is now for Pete Hegseths taking.

It's over (Iran's over), everyone knows it EXCEPT the hapless haters.
