Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure have commenced. Steel plants, yellowcake nuclear facility. So much for the “pause” till Monday promised by Trump.

Frank, you had earlier written that there would be no war with Iran.

Is Trump an easily manipulated fool, or simply being blackmailed by the Israelis? I put zero credence to anyone claiming he did this in America's interest.

A huge number of Americans are hostile towards this adventure. Mass casualties from a ground war would sour even more. I fear that Trump will be persuaded to use tactical nukes to try and end this.

You are right. I was wrong . I said I was wrong and why in a recent video. In brief, it’s madness.

There was no sense to it. Sadly the crazies won and kicked all the sane decision makers out of the tent. And here we are.

Just wow, Frank. Superb journalism again. You are my ‘go to’ for the truth.

I'm fairly new to this wonderful site. Bravo Frank, so well researched and written.

Thank you Stan. A lifetime of failing better to get to this. I never gave up. I do the best I can and I appreciate your kind words sincerely.

Armageddon is just another bull market. Perpetual managed conflict is more profitable than peace unfortunately.

Sobering reality check. The 82nd Airborne troops must be feeling a lot like the D-day landing troops in June 1944 en route to the beaches of Normandy - only their chances are slimmer in the Persian Gulf if Trump decides to use them.

A song was released by one of our chaps and it was called “we are all going to die in the first wave”. Have a look for it. Was quite the banger.

The Economist speaks for London, the Seat of Globalism.

Yes I am aware of it. Atlanticist etc. Interesting it broke with house style and actually described reality

it is taking down the U.S. and moving everything east, as we can plainly see. Russia is massively benefiting now and China will get very rich on its complete control of industrial production.

therefore, expect to see many more Rothschild propaganda rags and outlets turn against Trump and Israel.

it might even turn out Trump really was working for Russia after all, but not in the way they were talking about 2016-2020.

it's a war of rulers versus the people, everywhere. and i think many more have cottoned on.

peace in Christ.

Russia has announced it is banning petroleum exports on April 1st

thelightpaper's avatar

Yes, but it will still export crude oil to China and India, at the inflated prices.

Frank, you’re a good man and a strong writer, but I think your whole case rests on a bad premise. If we didn’t “lose a war,” then everything that follows doesn’t hold.

We’re dealing with a regime that’s been hostile since 1979 and has only grown more capable over time. Stopping that before it builds even more lethal weapons and layers of drones isn’t losing—it’s common sense.

Frank Wright's avatar

The whole case for war is just made up and it has sparked a global disaster.

Frank Bruno's avatar

Frank, you’re a thoughtful and serious voice, and I take your perspective in earnest.

Where I struggle is with the idea that the entire case for war is made up. I see it as a difficult judgment call in a dangerous situation, and we may just differ on how to face that challenge.

Frank Wright's avatar

It’s obvious

As an American, I am far more concerned about our domestic and cultural troubles brought on by the lunacy of the Left. Compared to them,the Iranians are a remote afterthought.

However, the Iranians are an existential threat to the Israelis who control our government, and seeing the hostility of those under 50 yo exhibit towards them, decided that they must act now. And they did.

This war fractures Trump's base. His bosses in Tel Aviv do not care one bit about the fate of America.

Frank, any more info incoming on the efforts to restore sanity that are underway? We will pray for success.

We are all praying for success. God bless you Peter .

The question is who will collaspe first? Europe? Asia? Or the US?

I think Russia is the most “safe” owing to its military capacity gained during the ukraine war and ability to produce oil.

Iran itself only matters insomuch as hormuz oil exports matter globally. Asia makes the most use of them…
