Helmer-McGovern debate: What will Trump do, now that he has been told: “Oops; Iran’s air defenses are now back up; Iran can sustain this war far longer than Israel; and has BIG advantage – Patriot air defense missiles no defense against hypersonic missiles
MEMO to Tulsi Gabbard: RESIGN! Trump has trashed the last vestige of independent intel analysis. Don’t lie; you are NOT “on the same page”. Leave lying to Trump; he knows IRAN IS NOT WORKING ON A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Go public. Americans have right to know this

“Woe to you Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs beautiful on the outside, on inside full of dead men’s bones.” Mere pious rhetoric from Leo 14, Cardinal Dolan, et al aping Pius XII during WWII; ceding moral leadership to huckster Huckabee

Just to be clear. Since 2007, US Intelligence high-confidence judgment: Iran NOT working on nuclear weapon. Wm Burns expressed “reasonable confidence the US would detect such work relatively early on.” Ergo, “unconditional surrender” is about REGIME CHANGE

FLASH ALERT: CAPT, USS Nimitz, expect to be attacked as you near Middle East – NOT by Iran, but by Israel with false-flag attack, blaming Iran. Honor your oath to the Constitution: Do not cover it up, as the US Navy did when Israel attacked the USS Liberty

I take contrarian view on Israel-Iran-US-Russia-China. Israel is bound to lose UNLESS it decides to use nuclear weapons. Trump is aware of this; wants the war to stop; has welcomed Russia’s offer to mediate. Will Netanyahu do “Samson Option” to stay out of jail?
As Scott Ritter advocated https://consortiumnews.com/2025/05/08/vips-memo-arms-control-toward-lasting-peace/, confidence-building steps toward arms control can be taken now: first, BANNING INTERMEDIATE-RANGE MISSILES IN EUROPE. Mon AM Lavrov challenged US to join moratorium on INF; Mon PM I was asked to comment. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/8p4s-t47fTIJRQ
I was asked yesterday by Iran’s presstv to comment on disclosures by Iran that its spies penetrated Israel’s most sensitive nuclear facilities. Sadly, I had to suggest that Iran first find a more objective entity than the IAEA to authenticate the documents
