The conflict between Non-Proliferation Treaty abiding member Iran and the Outlaw Zionists who don’t living within Occupied Palestine and their Outlaw Zionist allies residing within Europe and the Outlaw US Empire is very clear-cut in its falsity promoted by Western BigLie Media—the goal is regime change in Iran, not the negation of its
The tactics of duplicity are as always the same, seek negotiation and deliver a sucker punch. It's as Larry would say, more cowbell. The US and satellites are irredeemable and incapable of either compromise or reform its result is reasonably predictable - collapse. When challenged by scoffers my retort is take a look out the window. But when they look the bondage of the implanted narratives kick in and it results in an incoherence.

For people used to comfortable lives the discomfort is increasing, and look at Israelis who got a punch in the face and now cry in bewilderment, yes, that's a microcosm of the west. Empty shelves will be a minor problem.
thanks karl.. safe travels... do the bad guys win, or the good guys?? seems to me the law was designed by the bad guys... following it in certain instances can get you in a lot more trouble.. we'll see how it goes here...
I hope that, due to the restraint of Russia and Iran, Israel and the USA are sufficiently depleted to the point where they know that if they start a war with Iran they will lose.
The consensus seems to be that the USA will join in anyways, and I hope they're wrong and that cooler heads will prevail. It's such a dangerous time right now.
Putin explained the state of things very well during the SPIEF Plenary session, part of which I posted at MoA. Similar to Putin’s words to global media heads the day prior. Both very long reads coming soon.
ok, with Trump bombing Iran I can no longer hope that he'll be successful in the one promise I held out for...uprooting the deep state. I admit it now, he is just as stupid as Lindsay Graham, just as corrupt as Hillary Clinton and just as disappointing as Barack Obama. I now have to agree with you that he's a fucking buffoon. Ah well, it's not like Western civ was worth saving anyway. Next!
The one thing Trump won’t admit to is being a Liberal because that’s something well beyond his comprehension. A genuine Conservative would never have committed the USA to what’s happened since 1991 regarding its Imperial expansion. If Genuine Conservatism had reigned instead of Neoliberalism, we wouldn’t be facing what we’re facing. I have a What If? story describing what might have been from about1988 onward I’ll write sometime.
oooh story time with Karl. Let me grab a beer and settle in! My theory (not only mine) is that O'bummer was a psyop intended to turn the Damnocrats into neoliberals merely through brand adhesion. An unqualified success by the Yale branch of the cabal.
Certainly very few democrats - and literally none that I know - have considered the divide between policy statements and action by their appointed "representatives."
I never stray far from Candide in this best of all possible worlds.
They know that we know they're lying to us. So what's the role of the mainstream media? To show us the lies they choose so we can overlook all the others.
Thank you Karl Flag Dressing and the Silence of Color: Political Symbolism at the G7 Summit
At the recent G7 summit in Kananaskis, the striking use of color by world leaders caught the attention of many observers. What might appear to be mere fashion choices are, in fact, a sophisticated form of diplomatic communication — a phenomenon known as flag dressing.
The colors blue, white, and red do not appear by chance; they tell a story of alliances, political stances, and even military intentions, especially in light of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
Blue and White: A Silent Signal of Support for Israel
Leaders such as Ursula von der Leyen (EU), Giorgia Meloni (Italy), and Donald Trump (USA) prominently wore blue and white — the colors of the Israeli flag. Von der Leyen’s bright blue jacket with a white shirt, Meloni’s light blue suit with a white blouse, and Trump’s dark suit paired with a light blue shirt and tie collectively formed a visual front of solidarity with Israel. These color combinations symbolized explicit support for Israel in the conflict with Iran, with blue hues also conveying reliability and unity.
Dark Blue: Diplomatic Composure with a Pro-Israel Undertone
Other leaders, like Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (United Kingdom), Friedrich Merz (Germany), Shigeru Ishiba (Japan), and António Costa (EU Council), opted for dark blue suits with white shirts and matching ties. This choice represents diplomatic seriousness and stability, quietly but clearly supporting Israel. It is the color of composure — a measured yet resolute stance within the Western alliance.
The U.S. Strike on Iran and the Colors of Power
On June 21, 2025, President Donald Trump authorized a significant military strike on Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities — including Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz — using B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles. In a brief White House address, Trump declared the mission a "spectacular military success," claiming the targeted facilities were "completely and fully obliterated." He emphasized that the time for peace had come, warning of further strikes if Iran refused to negotiate.
Trump wore a light blue suit with a red tie — a combination symbolizing both diplomacy (blue) and force (red).
Standing with him were:
* Vice President J.D. Vance, wearing a blue tie, projecting diplomatic composure.
* Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a blue-red striped tie, subtly evoking the U.S. flag — signaling national unity and commitment.
* Secretary of State Marco Rubio, wearing a red tie, projecting strength and resolve.
* Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared shortly after, also wearing a red tie, symbolizing solidarity with the U.S. and readiness to confront Iran.
Red and Red-Blue: The Language of Military Readiness
Where red appears — as with Netanyahu’s red tie — it often signals a powerful message of military aggression and readiness to escalate. Red stands for determination, warning, and a willingness to engage in warfare. In the current conflict, this color is a direct visual reference to Israel’s military posture and preparedness for escalation.
Flag Dressing as a Diplomatic Tool
These coordinated color choices are far from accidental. They form a silent, visual language that reveals the political positions of leaders and their countries without words. In times of conflict, clothing colors function as flag dressing — where the colors of suits, shirts, and ties become as important as diplomatic statements.
The silence of color speaks loudly. And in this new theater of modern geopolitics, it’s not just the words that matter — it’s the ties.
What Comes Next: Colors in Escalation
As the conflict deepens, we can expect flag dressing to intensify. Should the situation escalate further — for example, toward nuclear posturing — expect more dominant displays of red among Western and Israeli leaders. Red, in such scenarios, would not just signal military readiness, but outright warning and confrontation.
Alternatively, black or very dark suits with red accents may begin to appear — a traditional signal of grave, historic moments. Blue may remain present among those still seeking diplomatic solutions, but increasingly as a contrast to the rising dominance of red.
In modern geopolitics, before the missiles fly — the ties speak first.
I wish you a safe journey and return, Karl. Looking forward to your coming articles.
We don't have access to The Plan, but in all likelihood you are correct in saying that the ultimate goal is regime change in Iran. This was even telegraphed in the MSM this past week, with breathless descriptions of an Iran broken apart into small fiefdoms. The cessation of all nuclear activity by Iran would be a byproduct of the destruction of its government.
I'd judge the chances of US/Israeli forces destroying the cores of Iran's buried nuclear sites as 50/50 at best. The chances of them bringing down Iran's government as well would be considerably smaller. Note that even if Iran's underground sites are destroyed, it doesn't remove Iran's knowledge of how to build a nuke. Nor will it destroy Iran's highly-enriched uranium, which is almost certainly dispersed. Moreover, such an attack would likely trigger Iran's rush to build a nuke, which according to the Israelis they could do in a week or two. (Perhaps one of the few true statements by Israel on this matter. Certainly if I was Iran, I'd have everything ready to sprint to the finish if necessary.)
So there's much uncertainty about achieving The Plan, even under the best circumstances. And we haven't even considered what Iran's response to such an attack might be. On that score I believe we can confidently predict that it will be serious.
IMO, the chance of success even with nukes is very slim—less then 5%. Far too many variables exist. IMO, it’s what happens next that’s the very Big Question and is tied the Big Picture.
I just listened to an interview of Pepe Escobar. Against all rationality, discounting all the multiple consequences, it seems that there is a good chance that the US will attack Iran. It might be possible to attack with bombs and missiles, but it will take a while to provision an army.
Pepe Escobar: Iran Fires Back: ‘We Will Not Back Down’ – Redlines Are Set!
Scott Horton said today that Iran has 57 independent units that can function alone for 2 years. Iran has planned for 20 years for an invasion by the US.
Max Blumenthal had a special program this evening. He was laying down a marker for what might come.
I’m busy celebrating the life of a man with a level of accomplishment. integrity and virtue few will ever attain. Trump is a worm in comparison as are those around him and in a great many other places.
I see that happened while celebrating the life of a man with a level of accomplishment. integrity and virtue few will ever attain. Trump is a worm in comparison.
Totally blows my mind that after 5 years of globalist fascist "covid" tyranny, and pure, unadulterated bullshit, Putin remains a shill for the WEF globalist Fascists and Big Pharma, and mandates that for the SPIEF 2025, "all participants, media representatives, and staff must undergo PCR testing for COVID-19 once 24 hours before the first visiting the Forum venuee." (Sic) (From the SPIEF website.)
If Putin still actually believes in that nonsense, he believes in fairies and unicorns, and it puts into question all of his solemn pronouncements and manifestos re world affairs. IMO.
It also diminishes my long held opinion of him as a relatively sane individual.
Please, spare me. That, imo, is crap. If Roscongress were independent of the "capo dei capi," why would they want to restrict participation in SPIEF to covidian cultists, unless, of course, SPIEF is a sham, and the organizers (Roscongress) are simply Kool-aid-guzzling sheeple . By even permitting such absurdity, Putin reveals so much more about his character than I think he realizes. Imo, of course.

A useful distillation. Too bad it can’t be turned into drink and dispensed to those deserving it.
Israel is a Terrorist Made Up State. It's supporters are evil. TY Karl and truth tellers. Make Palestine Palestine.
there are obvious problems with judaic indoctrination that has become dangerous for humanity at large
thanks karl.. safe travels... do the bad guys win, or the good guys?? seems to me the law was designed by the bad guys... following it in certain instances can get you in a lot more trouble.. we'll see how it goes here...
Iran ratified NPT in 1970 under Shah. It thus wasn’t aimed to trip Iran but others.
the real 'tell' is the NPT and israel...
Exatamundo!!

Long reads, my Amerikan attention span is only about a couple sentences;-)
I look forward to it.
You're way overqualified for a run in 2028 then!
I'll check them out, Karl.
God's chosen people are above the law. They do not have to care about what anyone thinks, hence the Gazacide.
Iran is teaching them a lesson. Wait and see for how the US and AIPAC will play it. NuttyYahoo should be gone no matter what.
ok, with Trump bombing Iran I can no longer hope that he'll be successful in the one promise I held out for...uprooting the deep state.

Listen to what Putin says.
Listen to what Iran says. They told the world what their response would be.
It looks like the US has to be forced to listen.
I know what you mean by “US” which is to say regime change is required and that “US” must be disposed of ASAP.
