The Madman Might Actually Do it…

Mar 7, 2026 | NBC News is reporting that Trump is seriously considering boots on the ground in Iran, which would be a significant escalation in his illegal war that would result in inconceivable levels of bloodshed. U.S. servicemembers who Trump is planning to sacrifice for Israel aren’t being told the truth about their deployment as well, according to Mike Prysner, the Executive director at the Center for Conscience and War. In this video we’ll talk about why Trump is considering this unthinkable option.

La influencia mundial de Rusia se erosiona ante las demostraciones de fuerza de Trump

THE NEW YORK TIMES: A corto plazo, el conflicto de Irán puede beneficiar a Moscú. Pero Vladimir Putin se enfrenta a un nuevo mundo de poder estadounidense que pone en jaque las alianzas de Rusia.

Uno de los primeros beneficiarios del ataque a gran escala de Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán ha sido el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin.

Su gobierno se beneficia de la subida de los precios del petróleo y el gas, que podría aliviar los problemas económicos de Rusia. Está haciendo valer el peso geopolítico del país como proveedor de energía alternativa. Y puede salir ganando en su propio campo de batalla si el conflicto de Medio Oriente afecta el suministro de defensas aéreas de fabricación estadounidense para Ucrania.

Pero Putin también está lidiando con la llegada de un nuevo mundo de poder estadounidense desenfrenado bajo la presidencia de Donald Trump, el cual está poniendo en jaque la influencia global de Rusia y desbaratando el manual de estrategias de Moscú para establecer alianzas en el extranjero.

Durante años, Putin apoyó a gobiernos autoritarios antiestadounidenses en Irán, Venezuela y Cuba, sin apenas preocuparse de que Washington utilizara su abrumador poder militar para matar, capturar o expulsar a sus dirigentes. Ahora, eso ha cambiado, ya que Trump ha demostrado su voluntad de hacer caso omiso de las normas internacionales y emprender acciones riesgosas en el extranjero al explotar al máximo el poderío de Washington. » | Por Paul Sonne | Reporting from Berlin | 7 de marzo de 2026

Iran Crisis: Social Media Video Published by the White House Is ‘Disgusting’ | Wendy Sherman

Mar 6, 2026 | “I think it’s really, quite frankly, disgusting.”

A recent video posted by the White House about the Iran crisis shouldn’t be something that comes from the White House, and is “not what we should be about at all”, says former Deputy Secretary of State under Biden, Wendy Sherman.


Iran War Is a Dangerous Mistake, a Disaster

Dr Richard Wolff explains.

Trump is a bloody moron. If I am not greatly mistaken, this will surely be the cause of Trump's downfall. Let us hope! The sooner the world will be rid of Trump, the sooner the world will be able to return to some semblance of normality. — © Mark Alexander

Starmer and Iran: “Of Course He Isn’t a Churchill” | Sir Richard Dearlove

Mar 6, 2026 | “Well, of course he isn’t a Churchill.”

Keir Starmer thinks like a human rights lawyer rather than a politician, and that can be seen in a lot of his policies, says former head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove.



Trump is right. Starmer is no Churchill. But very few leaders are. One thing is for certain: Trump is no Roosevelt, either. I dread to think of the mess the West would have been in in 1945 had Trump been the president during World War II. Trump doesn't come up to Obama’s ankles, still less to Roosevelt’s! — © Mark Alexander

Truth To Power: Trump Exposed: What Really Happened with Iran

Mar 7, 2026 | Trump's reasons for starting his war on Iran have changed almost by the hour. Nuclear weapons. Missiles. Imminent attacks. Each justification contradicted by his own intelligence services, his own Pentagon, and basic facts. So forget what he says. Let's follow the money instead. Who really benefits from this war? The answers are shocking, documented, and hiding in plain sight.


Trump is a F*****G LIAR, and an UNSCRUPULOUS ONE at that! He is also a CRUEL CRIMINAL who understands NO GEOPOLITICS. The man should be in prison, not in the White House. — © Mark Alexander

Trump exige la ‘rendición incondicional’ de Irán

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Los recientes comentarios del presidente Trump reflejaron otro cambio en los objetivos de las acciones militares estadounidenses. El presidente añadió que esperaba que Cuba cayera pronto.

El presidente Donald Trump declaró el viernes que no se conformaría con nada que no fuera la “rendición incondicional” de Irán, lo que constituye la más reciente y más extensa ampliación de sus objetivos para el conflicto, y que podría presagiar un conflicto mucho más largo si Trump persiste en ese objetivo.

Seis días después del inicio de la campaña israelí y estadounidense de bombardeos, Irán no ha mostrado ningún interés, al menos públicamente, en rendirse. En lugar de ello, ha hecho lo contrario, ampliando la guerra a los Estados árabes que albergan bases estadounidenses y atacándolos con misiles y drones, aunque el número de los ataques ha disminuido en los últimos días.

La declaración de Trump se produjo en una publicación en las redes sociales, en la que dijo que tras la rendición del país vendría “la selección de un Líder o Líderes GRANDIOSOS Y ACEPTABLES”, y prometió que Estados Unidos y sus aliados “trabajarán incansablemente para sacar a Irán del borde de la destrucción”.

Su declaración fue la más reciente de las metas cambiantes que Trump ha establecido para la guerra, con las cuales ha dejado a sus ayudantes, y a sus aliados en el Congreso, con dificultades para mantenerse al día y, en ocasiones, en contradicciones con el presidente. » | Por David E. Sanger | Reportando desde Washington | 6 de marzo de 2026

Donald Trump Goes FULL HITLER in Scary White House Address

Mar 6, 2026 | Jesse talks about Donald Trump's insane statements where he announces imminent war against Cuba, while claiming the desire to avoid the same mistake that Hitler made by invading too many countries simultaneously. He said, "Next one is going to be - we want to do that special Cuba, but he's waiting. But he says, let's get this one finished first. We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen. If you watch countries over the years, you do them all too fast. Bad things happen."


Trump’s politics is the politics of DIPSHITS! America is being governed by a MORON. It is quite unbelievable that the draft dodger par excellence as Trump was could turn into the WARMONGER non plus ultra. — © Mark Alexander

Trump's 'Christians' Put on Bizarre Prayer Performance in Oval Office

Mar 7, 2026 | Jesse talks about Donald Trump's leaning into Christian nationalists' support when he is underwater in public opinion polls. Yesterday in the White House, a group of grifting liar evangelical Christians gathered around Donald Trump in a manufactured moment that was filmed for social media, to pray over Trump, who was sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Michael Lawson: What They Are Not Telling You: Why the US and Israel Can't Win This War

Mar 7, 2026 | As the war in the Middle East enters its second week, the official narrative is cracking. While the media focuses on the strikes in Tehran, a much more dangerous reality is unfolding for the Gulf States and Israel.

In this video, Michael Lambert breaks down as follows:

The Trump-Netanyahu Alliance: How the "Unconditional Surrender" demand is trapping the US in another "Forever War" like Vietnam and Afghanistan.

The Economic Math of Failure: Why Israel and the UAE are losing the financial war by using million-dollar interceptors to stop "disposable" £20,000 Iranian drones.

The Desalination Death-Blow: How a single strike on water infrastructure could force the evacuation of cities like Dubai and Riyadh within 48 hours.

The Global Shadow War: Why Russia and China are quietly backing Iran while Trump is forced to ask Ukraine for drone-warfare secrets.

Media Dishonesty: Why the BBC and Western outlets are ignoring the catastrophic impact this conflict is having on the "Saltwater Kingdoms" of the Gulf.

Trump Demands Unconditional Surrender from Iran as Intense Bombing in Tehran and Beirut Continue

Mar 6, 2026 | There's been intense bombing in both the Iranian and Lebanese capitals and promises from the governments in Israel and Washington that even more devastating firepower is on the way.

Trump is in his usual playbook of maximalist demands - insisting on total surrender.

But Iran's targeting of the Gulf is also taking a dramatic toll - with Qatar warning of having to halt energy exports and surging oil and gas prices that could cause a global economic crisis.

Prof Jeffrey Sachs Rips into Netanyahu and Zionism

He explains everything here.

Trump Demands ‘Unconditional Surrender’ by Iran

THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump’s comments on Friday reflected yet another shift in the goals of U.S. military actions.

President Trump declared on Friday that he would settle for nothing short of “unconditional surrender” by Iran, the latest and broadest expansion of his goals for the conflict, and one that could portend a much longer conflict if he persists in that aim.

Six days into the Israeli and American bombing campaign, Iran has shown no interest, at least publicly, in surrendering. Instead, it has done the opposite, expanding the war to Arab states that host American bases, attacking them with missiles and drones, though in diminishing numbers in recent days.

Mr. Trump’s statement came in a social media post, in which he said that after the country’s surrender would come “the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s),” and promised that the United States and its allies “will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction.”

His statement was the latest in the shifting goals Mr. Trump has laid out for the war, leaving his aides, and congressional allies, struggling to keep up and at times contradicting the president. » | David E. Sanger | Reporting from Washington | Friday, March 6, 2026

‘Deep Dark Son of a B**ch’: Jeffrey Sachs Loses Cool at Netanyahu's Iran War | US News

Mar 4, 2026 | American economist Jeffrey Sachs launches a fierce critique of U.S. foreign policy, accusing Washington and President Donald Trump of misleading the public over wars in the Middle East, including Iran. He questions whether American democracy truly functions on life-and-death decisions, claims wars were sold through narratives and focus groups, and argues interventions from Iraq to Syria were based on phony pretences. Sachs also criticises regime change operations, CIA secrecy, and what he calls a “game” of power politics. He warns America’s greatest risks come from within, not from China.

Trump Says There Will Be ‘No Deal’ as Israel Unleashes Wave of Attacks on Iran

THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump repeated his call for the “unconditional surrender” of the Islamic Republic. Israel said it had struck a leadership bunker in Tehran, and sent thousands fleeing a bombardment in Lebanon.

President Trump on Friday demanded “unconditional surrender” by Iran, saying there would be no negotiated end to the war, while Israeli officials said their forces had destroyed a Tehran bunker that had been used by Iran’s supreme leader, in a fresh wave of heavy strikes on Tehran.

The Israeli military also pounded the southern outskirts of Beirut and issued more evacuation warnings in Lebanon as it intensified its campaign there against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. About 300,000 people in Lebanon have fled their homes since the bombing began, the Norwegian Refugee Council estimated.

Gas prices jumped in the United States as the effects of the war rippled through the oil industry, with the U.S. benchmark crude oil price rising to above $90 a barrel. The average price of unleaded gas hit $3.32 per gallon on Friday, according to the AAA motor club.

Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social that there “will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” The comment highlighted Mr. Trump’s shifting stance in the war that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran six days ago. On Sunday, Mr. Trump had told The Atlantic, “They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them.”

The president made the post after Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian president, said that some countries had begun what he called “mediation efforts,” without elaborating on who was involved. And Iran’s intelligence ministry has reached out to the C.I.A. through intermediaries to discuss terms for ending the war, according to officials briefed on the outreach.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps launched a wave of drones and missiles at Israel, according to a statement from the force reported by IRNA, the country’s state news agency. Air-raid sirens went off in Tel Aviv, and the Israeli military said that it had detected missile launches from Iran, though there were no immediate reports of major damage.

The Israeli military said it had struck more than 400 targets in western Iran on Friday, including missile launchers and drone storage sites. Live Updates » | Adam Rasgon, Euan Ward, Shawn McCreesh and Richard Pérez-Peña | Friday, March 6, 2026

Democracy Now! "Donroe Doctrine" Summit: Trump Seeks to Build Right-wing Power Bloc in Latin America

Mar 6, 2026 | President Trump is hosting right-wing leaders from across Latin America in Miami for a summit discussing his so-called Shield of the Americas initiative. This comes as the U.S. deploys special forces to Ecuador and as Trump hints about regime change in Cuba. "This summit is … an opportunity for Trump to play out a moment of imperial fantasy in front of fans in South Florida," says Jake Johnston, director of international research at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. The leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago will attend, says the White House.

How to Nail the Perfect Trump Impression w/Matt Friend

El camino del poder presidencial en EE. UU. que condujo a la guerra contra Irán

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Durante décadas, los presidentes estadounidenses han eludido al Congreso para lanzar ataques militares limitados. La decisión de Trump de atacar Irán es una escalada agresiva.

Desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, presidentes de ambos partidos han encontrado formas de vaciar de contenido las limitaciones de la Constitución sobre su poder para ordenar ataques militares. La decisión unilateral del presidente Donald Trump de iniciar una guerra contra Irán amenaza con acabar con casi todo lo poco que queda.

Se supone que un principio fundacional de la democracia estadounidense es que, a menos que el país esté siendo atacado, la facultad de declarar la guerra corresponde al Congreso. Pero, especialmente desde el comienzo de la Guerra Fría, presidentes de ambos partidos han ido minando este principio al reclamar el derecho a ordenar al ejército que intervenga en diversas situaciones hostiles limitadas.

Algunos legisladores se quejaron. Pero como institución, el Congreso lo consintió. Constantemente paralizados por impulsos contrapuestos —lealtad al partido, apoyo a los objetivos políticos de las diversas operaciones o miedo a ser acusados de menoscabar a los soldados que ya están en peligro—, los legisladores permitieron que los presidentes llevaran a cabo una serie de usurpaciones de poder con total impunidad. » | Por Charlie Savage | Charlie Savage ha escrito sobre el poder presidencial y las políticas judiciales durante más de dos décadas.
