He examines the real balance of power between countries, and he thinks the way to avoid war is to understand and manage this balance. The Trump administration suffers from extreme imperial hubris and is at war with the whole world. It has started a disastrous, losing war against Iran, which I think will be the last act of a dying empire. Trump and his advisors are just beginning to realize what they have gotten themselves into, and they are already trying to back out, but Iran is not going to stop shooting unless they achieve their strategic objectives. This is much the same as the Russians in Ukraine. They are not going to stop shooting either. Both will proceed to military victory. For Russia that is control of Ukraine.

"Leftists love criticizing how I run with scissors, but everyone knows when you run with scissors, sometimes accidents happen. It's unfortunate but it's a natural part of running with scissors, and I'm sick and tired of pussy libtards who are too scared to even run with scissors themselves, critiquing me for what any real scissor runner understands are acceptable civilian stabbings!"

Prof. Marandi absolutely on fire in this interview. Lambastes Usrael's terror campaign in Iran, assures that Iran will not let the Epstein Coalition off the hook until Iran puts an end to its reign of terror in West Asia.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
