Michael Lambert: Trump Is Delusional: The Real Reason for the Iran War

Mar 14, 2026 | Trump's war in ran continues and in this video I discuss the stupidity of this reckless venture and the many negative consequences. I talk about the lack of qualifications of Steve Witkoff and Jered Kushner who without any previous experience of diplomacy were sent by Trump to negotiate a peace deal with Iran.

I explain how the US has committed economic suicide and achieved diplomatic isolation as a result of this war, how the US has damaged relationships with allies in the Middle East notably Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

I point out that Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz where 20% of the world's oil passes should have been predicted by the United States before entering into this war.

Oil prices are rocketing and this will have.an effect on the worldwide economy.

Russia and China are now supporting Iran and this will make it all but impossible for America to end this war with victory.

The war is costing at least $1 billion per day and many lives lost. The US has lost a number of servicemen who have been killed and at least 1,000 are said to have died in Iran. The most tragic incident has been the killing of 160 people, mostly schoolgirls in an incident at the start of the war.

All of this has been caused by the decision of one man, Donald Trump. The war started just 7 days before the latest, and last, batch of the Epstein files were released and it is hard to believe that the timing of the war was not chosen by Trump to distract from the Epstein files in which he features. I also note that Trump's decision to go to war was almost certainly influenced by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel who saw this as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to decapitate and defeat Iran

Has the US Bitten Off More Than It Can Chew in Iran? | DW News

Mar 13, 2026 | The first statement from Iran's new supreme leader was read out by a newsreader and Mojtaba Khamenei did not appear on camera. Reports say he was injured in the strikes that killed his father, the former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, on the first day of the war. And now there's speculation whether Mojtaba himself is even alive.

Regardless who wrote the statement, it shows a regime that wants to project defiance and strength - saying Iran will keep retaliating, and use the Strait of Hormuz as leverage.

Donald Trump is also trying to project success as Iran keeps launching attacks across the Gulf. He says the US will benefit from higher oil prices - something the US public may disagree with, as the economic costs of the war mount.

Trump’s Beloved White South African “Refugees” Returning Home in Droves

Mar 12, 2026 | Thousands of white South Africans living in the U.S.—deemed “refugees” and victims of white “genocide” by American right-wingers, including Trump himself—are leaving America and going home. White South Africans are the only “refugees” the Trump regime is letting into the country, but white South Africans are ditching America due to its high cost of living, expensive healthcare, and political instability. One South African indicated he’s leaving because of Trump’s policies, saying “I don’t want to live in a place like this” in response to ICE’s terrorism. In this video we’ll talk about the preferential treatment white South Africans get and why they’re bailing on their supposed savior, Donald J. Trump.

Democracy Now! Ret. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: Netanyahu Could Turn to Nuclear Bombs If Iran War Escalates

Mar 10, 2026 | As President Trump gives conflicting statements about the length and objectives of the war he launched with Israel against Iran, fears are growing that the conflict could continue to expand throughout the region and beyond. Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army colonel and former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, says the U.S. and Israel are committing wanton "war crimes" in Iran. "We have bombed civilians relentlessly. We have bombed a school. We have bombed a hospital," says Wilkerson, who also suggests Western media outlets are downplaying the extent of the damage in Israel and how successful Iran has been in defending itself.

"This is a war with long legs. Trump has completely misinterpreted it," says Wilkerson. "The only one who's interpreted it correctly is Bibi Netanyahu, and I think he's ready to use a nuclear weapon, should it become as bad as it looks like it might right now, because Iran has not even began to shoot its most sophisticated missiles."

Mar 10, 2026 | Historians are now using the F-word to describe what's happening in America. In this video, I explain why, why it matters, and what you can do.

The Five Stafes of Fascism »

Rutger Bregman’s Other Essential Reading:

This is fascism: Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that. »

Yes, It’s Fascism: Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny. »

If Trump Thinks I'm a Fool, Then I'm Happy to Be One | Investment Banker

Mar 9, 2026 | "I'm happy to be a fool, because I think most people would look at the tangible impact on their lives."

President Trump has said that high energy prices are a very small price to pay for world peace, and you're a "fool to think differently". Chief economist at Panmure Liberum Simon French says he's happy to think differently to Trump.

Trump is a fool. As is Lindsey Graham. In fact, America today is being governed by know-nothing fools and jesters. Very dangerous fools and jesters at that! Trump should never have been able to find his way to the White House. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is having to pay the high price for the ignorance and imprudence of American voters. We are living in very sick times. — © Mark Alexander
