  • U.S. Supports "LAW of the JUNGLE" - Israel's Foreign Policy
    Danny strongly criticizes Israel's recent actions in Syria and Iran, arguing that they violate international law and undermine the global "rules-based order" the U.S. claims to uphold. In 2024, Israel bombed an Iranian embassy compound in Syria—an egregious violation of diplomatic norms—and has continued to carry out assassinations and cross-border strikes without consequences. This unchecked aggression, the speaker argues, makes a mockery of international law and weakens the credibility of the U.S. when it demands compliance from other nations like China or Russia.The 12-day war between Israel and Iran is cited as an example of illegal Israeli aggression based on unconfirmed intelligence that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb. There was no imminent threat, so the justification under the UN Charter’s right to self-defense does not apply. Similar aggression has occurred in Syria, where Israel now effectively controls territory south of Damascus by preventing Syrian military access—essentially annexing the region without formal declaration.The U.S. is accused of enabling these violations while insisting others follow international norms. This hypocrisy, the speaker warns, sends the message that "might makes right"—a dangerous precedent that undermines long-term U.S. security, as power dynamics inevitably shift over time. When the U.S. or Israel no longer dominate, others will use the same lawless logic against them.The speaker also highlights how foreign involvement—especially by the U.S., Israel, and Turkey—fueled the Syrian civil war by supporting various factions, including radical groups like HTS. Now, even after Bashar al-Assad’s fall, Syria remains fragmented, with new leaders like Al-Sharat struggling to unify the country while facing Israeli interference and a patchwork of rival militias.Ultimately, the speaker argues that this strategy of intervention, regime change, and double standards has consistently failed and only leads to more chaos. If the U.S. and its allies want to shape a stable international order, they must start by following the same laws they expect others to obey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Russia Advancing in Ukraine: Fastest in Two Years w/Patrick Henningsen
    Russia is currently advancing in Ukraine at its fastest pace in two years, yet Ukrainian leaders continue to express confidence in eventual victory—despite or even without U.S. support. This optimism, critics argue, appears more like political coping or an effort to justify extending a costly and prolonged conflict.Two former Ukrainian defense officials have been lobbying Western nations for a strategy they call “strategic neutralization,” redefining “victory” as Ukraine surviving and functioning despite continued warfare. This includes ideas like attracting Western investment and returning refugees while the war drags on—something critics call delusional and detached from on-the-ground realities.Commentators argue that powerful interests in both Ukraine and the West benefit financially and politically from keeping the war going. For Ukraine's leadership, Western aid is profitable and helps preserve power. For Western governments and defense contractors, the war fuels military spending and political narratives. Meanwhile, it is ordinary Ukrainians who suffer the consequences—militarily, economically, and demographically.Western support also shows signs of irrational overconfidence, such as building weapons factories in warzones—some of which have already been destroyed by Russian strikes. Critics say this reflects either dangerous delusion or cynical propaganda to keep money flowing.Even high-profile firms like BlackRock have begun pulling out of Ukrainian reconstruction plans, recognizing that valuable assets lie in Russian-occupied zones likely to remain under Russian control. Nonetheless, Ukraine's government continues presenting a façade of stability and reform, such as introducing a new prime minister and economic agenda, all while extending martial law.The situation reveals a deep disconnect between official rhetoric—both Ukrainian and Western—and the military reality on the ground, where Russia is gaining momentum and Ukraine is running out of resources.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Iran's Nuke Program is INTACT /MIT Prof Ted Postol & Lt Col Daniel Davis
    President Trump claimed the recent U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites — particularly the Fordo facility — was a “virtual obliteration,” citing the use of massive 30,000-pound bunker-busting munitions. However, Professor Ted Postol, a nuclear weapons expert, casts serious doubt on this, suggesting that while surface-level damage may be significant, Iran’s capability to produce nuclear weapons likely remains intact.Postol argues:Iran likely still possesses the technical infrastructure and materials to produce up to 10 nuclear weapons, or at least the capacity to do so within 5–6 weeks of deciding.The U.S. government's claim of having "delayed Iran's program by 1–2 years" is misleading; they may have damaged above-ground infrastructure, but not stopped Iran’s ability to rapidly build bombs.Iran could easily be storing hundreds of advanced centrifuges offsite and could construct a small, hidden enrichment facility in a space as small as 1,200 square feet.There's no conclusive satellite or intelligence evidence yet that the Fordo facility was destroyed — even Iran may not know the full extent of the damage.Postol is deeply concerned about misleading public statements by U.S. officials and the lack of journalistic or congressional scrutiny into these claims.He’s offered a technical briefing laying out the specific requirements for Iran to build nuclear weapons and invites interested parties (especially lawmakers) to request it for informed oversight.Bottom line: While official U.S. statements suggest a major setback for Iran’s nuclear program, independent expert analysis indicates that Iran may still be close to bomb-making capability and that the public narrative is likely overstated or misleading.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Trump's Unreliability: Epstein Files & Funding WARS /Larry Johnson
    The video opens with breaking news, including a major Israeli airstrike into Damascus, Syria—reportedly hitting the presidential palace. The guest, Larry Johnson (former CIA analyst), criticizes U.S. and Israeli involvement in backing radical Sunni militants like Al-Julani, the head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former terrorist organization recently removed from the U.S. terrorism list. Johnson argues that the U.S. and its allies helped empower such groups, which are now attacking the Druze community in southern Syria—prompting Israel to intervene, claiming to defend the Druze, though geopolitical and historical interests are likely involved.Johnson warns this conflict is escalating and could pull in Iran, especially after the June 13th strike that galvanized the region's Shia communities. He says this will likely broaden the war rather than contain it.The discussion then shifts to Donald Trump’s perceived unreliability—particularly regarding Ukraine. Trump had previously promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours, later calling it “sarcasm,” and now has issued a 50-day ultimatum to Russia. Johnson criticizes Trump’s contradictory statements and lack of policy consistency, attributing it to ignorance, reliance on media soundbites, and possible age-related cognitive decline. He also highlights Trump’s past contributions to escalating tensions in Ukraine through arms support and military exercises during his first term.The segment concludes by underscoring Trump’s pattern of making bold, unfulfilled promises, making it difficult to take his current ultimatums seriously.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • TRUMP's 50-Day Deadline BACKFIRE: How Putin Will Respond /Lt Col Daniel Davis & Jennifer Kavanagh
    Following Trump's major announcement on Monday, where he declared a 50-day pause before potential new actions against Russia—purportedly to encourage a ceasefire—experts and analysts have begun unpacking what this really means. Trump’s approach blends his signature tactics: tariffs, ultimatums, and deal-making, according to Jennifer, a military analyst at Defense Priorities.Jennifer argues:Tariffs are one of Trump’s favorite tools, often used not just for trade but to coerce countries on unrelated issues (e.g. immigration).Ultimatums (like this 50-day warning) are a staple of Trump’s foreign policy style, often arbitrary and inconsistently enforced.Deals—even symbolic or superficial ones—are central to his image as a power broker.Regarding the 50-day plan:Trump threatens “secondary tariffs”—but he’s vague. This could mean 100% tariffs on:Direct U.S. imports from Russia (which are minimal),Countries that trade with Russia (e.g., China, India, Europe), orCompanies that do business with Russia (via secondary sanctions).These threats, Jennifer says, are not very credible. They either:Hurt the U.S. economy (if applied to key partners like India or Europe), orHave limited impact on Russia, given past failures with similar measures.The goal of the ultimatum is also unclear. Trump says “ceasefire,” but:Russia insists negotiations must happen before a ceasefire, citing fears the West will use a pause to rearm Ukraine.Trump's demand seems unrealistic—an unconditional ceasefire in 50 days is unlikely.Jennifer warns this could backfire, like Trump’s previous 60-day ultimatum to Iran, which many suspect Israel used as justification for launching its war. She suggests Trump may again trap himself into taking rash action if no deal is reached, to avoid appearing weak.Finally, concerns were raised about the reaction of BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), especially as U.S. sanctions may strain relationships with India, China, and Brazil—nations already drifting away from Western alignment.Bottom line: Trump's plan is heavy on threats, vague on outcomes, and could end up hurting U.S. interests or credibility if it fails to produce results—or worse, triggers an unintended escalation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
