๐Ÿ—ฃThe Third World War keeps threatening, but consumer hypnosis keeps us stagnant - Dugin

"The Third World War keeps threatening to startโ€”whether in the Middle East, Kashmir, or Ukraine. Yet, it never actually begins," Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin wrote on social media.

"This tension allows the global masses to continue lounging in a state of total consumer hypnosis, confined within narrow boundaries of their everyday lives," he said.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑIsraelโ€™s strike on Iran โ€˜almost certainlyโ€™ coordinated with US โ€“ analyst

๐Ÿ‘‰Proof?
โ–ช๏ธWithdrawal of non-essential personnel from US embassies in Iraq and around the Persian Gulf on the eve of Israelโ€™s strikes was a clear indication that Washington was kept in the loop, says Dr. Greg Simons, professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Israelโ€™s strike aimed to KILL US-Iran nuclear diplomacy
โ–ช๏ธโ€œThey did the same thing with the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal],โ€ says Simons, and while they got Trump to do that during his first presidency, now his geostrategic priorities have changed.
โ–ช๏ธThe US wants to focus on China, but โ€œtheir vassals and client states in Ukraine and Israel are causing problems for them by running their own agenda,โ€ he said.

๐Ÿ‘‰This is NOT SELF DEFENSE for Israel
โ–ช๏ธUS hawks' rhetoric about Israel's right to self-defense is โ€œgarbage, but itโ€™s what you'd expect from this clown show,โ€ says Simons.
โ–ช๏ธThere was no threat โ€“ theyโ€™re just lying, like their patron, the US.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ—ฃIsraelโ€™s Netanyahu CLINGS TO WAR to evade justice โ€“ analyst

Netanyahu is โ€œbanking on remaining in a perpetual state of war,โ€ believes Dr. Greg Simons, professor of Journalism at Daffodil International University.

โ€œI think more and more Israelis are beginning to understand this, especially in the military structures,โ€ he noted.

Why? Because as soon as war finishes, he is likely to be arrested โ€“ not for genocide, but for his โ€œdirty style of politics and corruption,โ€ says Simons.

โ€œThe Israeli regime must be punished at the highest level. Netanyahu and his accomplices will be held accountable for their crimes,โ€ Mahmoud Abbaszadeh, former member of Iranโ€™s parliamentary committee on national security, told Sputnik.


Abbaszadeh also noted that despite the US distancing itself from supporting Israel, the recent strike has cast a shadow over indirect Iran-US talks:

โ€œYou canโ€™t negotiate with a country while watching the attack on its territory.โ€

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑIsraelโ€™s strike on Iran has US FINGERPRINTS all over it โ€“ analyst

The Israeli strike on Iran almost certainly leaned on American intel and US-supplied weapons, says ex-Italian diplomat and PM Middle East advisor Marco Carnelos.

๐Ÿ”ถ Was it meant to sabotage US-Iran nuclear talks โ€“ or did Trump greenlight it to boost his bargaining power with Iran? The second sounds more plausible, according to the special envoy for Syria and the Middle East peace process.

๐Ÿ”ถ US hawksโ€™ โ€œself-defenseโ€ logic is โ€œBASELESS and SCHIZOPHRENIC,โ€ rooted in their dystopian mindset that no one can fix, says Carnelos.

๐Ÿ”ถ Iranโ€™s retaliation is reportedly underway โ€“ 100 drones en route to Israel, post-lunch, just in time for coffee, he points out.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง US, UK INVOLVED in Israelโ€™s Iran strike โ€“ expert ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

American bases have been used in Turkiye, Qatar, the UAE, and Bahrain to help the Israelis โ€“ and it's not just the Americans, it's the British as well, says Seyed Mohammad Marandi, analyst at Tehran University and former 2015 Iran deal negotiator.

The game will change only if the US jumps in directly, Marandi warns. US bases across the Gulf could become targets, fueling chaos in energy markets.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "So the smart thing to do for the United States is to stay is to stay out of this."


โš”๏ธ Netanyahuโ€™s FOREVER WAR Plan

With a worn-out army, collapsing economy, and global reputation in ruins, Netanyahuโ€™s regime is running on fumes.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œItโ€™s almost universally despised โ€“ except by Zionists and extremists,โ€ Marandi adds.

๐Ÿšจ West BUYS ITS OWN LIES, but Israelโ€™s strikes only make Iran stronger โ€“ analyst

Israelโ€™s unprovoked strike hit civilian targets in Iran, Tehran University Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThe Israeli regime murdered families. They bombed apartment blocks... one with 10 units collapsed completely. Civilian casualties are high,โ€ he said.


In the West, Marandi adds, they believe their own propaganda that these strikes weaken Iran.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œBut in reality, they do the opposite. They strengthen Iran, unify the public, and deepen hatred toward the aggressors and their backers.โ€
