Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Feb 28, 2026
So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change. This is a major mis-step that could easily turn out very badly as it is a pointless war of choice that could easily escalate to neighboring states and become nuclear if a reckless Israel decides it needs to “defend” itself against an Iranian response. US Navy vessels might also find themselves vulnerable to Iranian missiles.
As the attack took place, President Donald Trump announced the latest bit of nation destroying from his Florida home away from the White House, which he is also wrecking as part of a lavish and characteristically tasteless ballroom “reconstruction.” By way of his Truth Social Platform, he declared early Saturday morning that “We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally — again — obliterated. We’re going to annihilate their navy.” The destruction of the missiles as a top priority was clearly under orders from Israel, which sees the weapons as the major threat against it. Trump also called on the Iranians to rise- up and overthrow their government.
Trump also conceded that Americans will die against Iran, adding that “the lives of courageous American heroes may be lost” in what the “War Department” has dubbed “Operation Epic Fury… We may have casualties.” He acknowledged that there could be American deaths following Iran strikes, saying “that often happens in war.” There is without doubt a certain irony in having at the helm of state an ignorant and seemingly deranged draft dodger president announcing a war while wearing a baseball cap who wallows in threats and generating conflicts while claiming to be a man of peace. Enabling wars in Ukraine and Gaza while also recently threatening Venezuela and now Cuba is not the way to go to make the world a better place. Sadly, Trump’s entire family has likewise avoided military service, he being once again willing to pay the ultimate price for his warmaking using other American families’ sons and daughters as cannon fodder.
Unfortunately for both the United States and for the sanction-plagued long suffering Iranian people, the grounds for the act of war as elaborated by President Donald Trump are completely fatuous, to include Iranian presumed development of a nuclear weapon and its possession of ballistic missiles that will be able to strike the United States. Both claims are denied by US intelligence and other sources. They are lies plausibly sourced from Israel and clearly improvised to justify the carnage, similar in form to the infamous Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lying claim in 2002-2003 that Iraq was building “weapons of mass destruction” which might lead to a “mushroom cloud” over America. The Iraq war killed 500,000 Iraqis and 4,431 invading Americans, but who will be counting when you are aiming at something as glorious as regime change in Persia?
Looking beyond what disaster comes out of Iran, the long term danger is that we Americans now have a president who believes that he can act with impunity anywhere in the world, having publicly declared that he believes that he “…can do whatever he wants.” That includes going to war contrary to the US Constitution, though Congress is now feebly attempting to enforce the so-called War Powers Act. As Israel is behind the current fighting, there is no chance that official Washington will be anything but supportive of the conflict as will also the media. Given the carte blanche for military action anywhere and at any time, Cuba is possibly next on the list as the Administration appears set on destroying its economy through sanctions prior to taking control of it, similar to the plan for Venezuela that played out recently and that has been used against Iran.
Beyond that, destroying Iran is being done solely to benefit what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees as his national interest. That the war is taking place at all is due to Israel’s absolute control over America’s political class, a reality that Netanyahu and his predecessors in office have not been exactly shy about admitting. The US is a hapless giant that has been corrupted by Jewish billionaire money from within to be totally committed to the expansion of greater Israel no matter how many have to die in the process. Do the Israelis care what happens to the American people? No. The US is a necessary resource which they will squeezed dry of money and political support before being discarded like a used diaper.
Given that Israel has turned the United States into a war criminal and enabler of crimes against humanity, it is absolutely astonishing how the “official” inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, for example, manages to completely avoid and totally ignore the obvious story, namely that Epstein and his billionaire buddy Les Wexler and his Mega Group were all parts of a vast and far reaching Israeli intelligence operation intended to penetrate (and I use that word deliberately) and manipulate the elite political and media classes in the United States. Last week we witnessed the Clintons being questioned by Congress. Hillary denied having ever met Jeffrey, and she “had no idea” regarding his illegal or immoral activities. Admittedly Hillary might for once be telling the truth since Bill, following up in Congress on Friday, had plenty to hide from his own wife and others given his own demonstrated definition of illegal and immoral. Former President Clinton said he “did nothing wrong” and had “no idea of the crimes” Jeffrey Epstein was committing as he kicked off a deposition with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Friday. But Bill was equally unhelpful in his private meeting with the congressmen, perhaps suggesting that his frequent trips on the Lolita Express were solely due to the fact that he needed a ride from New York State to Florida. And what about the record of sixteen visits to the White House by Epstein while you were president, Bill?
Neither Clinton, of course, comes even close to the intensity and frequency of the multitude of citations covering the Donald Trump relationship with Epstein, but whether Congress will have the nerve to go after a mentally confused sitting president whose own “morality” extends beyond casual pedophilia to enabling genocide has to be doubted. And be it Clinton or Trump, one can be sure that no one in Congress except Thomas Massie will have the intestinal fortitude that it would require to go after the real culprit, war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his band of merry cutthroats leading America’s “best friend and closest ally,” the Jewish State of Israel. It’s a relationship that includes the just starting American war against a non-threatening Iran but who’s counting the body bags coming home when Iran strikes back? It won’t be good old draft dodger Donald Trump, who will lie about it as he usually does!
That Israel gets away with obtaining billions of dollars, weapons and unlimited political protection from Washington while also spying on us would appear to be enough of a gift but the one way relationship is far worse than that, including as it does an option to compel the United States into going to war whenever Israel wants to genocide another neighbor. The politicians that make up the Jewish/Israeli government are the worst scum imaginable, though I guess one would have to include in that number our own trash like Congressman Randy Fine of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Most Israelis believing that they are “chosen” and thereby have the birthright to abuse and kill people at will, including tens of thousands of children lest they “grow up to be terrorists.” And now the United States of America is on the same page. There is a solution however. It’s called kicking Israel and its fan club the hell out of the United States and having Washington begin to treat the nations that make up the rest of the world with respect without the employment of threats or military action. I rather suspect that a majority of the American people would today want us to get out of Iran and would support the option of a country at peace with everyone!

As I’ve stated before, why not give Trumpkin and Yahu the Nut, a helmet, water bottle and AR15 with a couple of bullets and stick them on the front line! Any bets this little false skirmish will end in a hurry and save thousands of lives?
Do we have a nuclear catastrophe in the making or a new-clear state of mind? To live or to die, that is the question!😢🤞✌
Look at the image of President Donald Trump: the most dangerous, lying, duplicitous idiot on planet Earth! Time to get rid of him…three inches to the right of his right ear (that should do the trick)… before he gets rid of all of us and our beautiful Mother Earth!!! 🤢✌👌👍
Best time to be martyred is when you’re an old man.
Unfortunately he was martyred with a lot of his younger family members,
160 girls aged between seven and twelve have been martyred, and a lot of Iranian cities are being bombed.
Iran might as well now give those responsible everything they got…
For China’s sake, it very important Iran doesn’t fall…
Trump has dragged the US into war against Iran, plus against other countries greater than Iran.
Trump needs to be locked up.

Iran do all for a regime change in USA+ israhell !
jew threats must be eleminated ! once + for all .
I’m still wary of Iran giving up once it has the scum defeated and before it delivers a coup de grâce. The US is too far away to win and Israel too small alone. Finish Israel at least, give the US nothing to come back for ever again and which would mean the whole world would see it has been beaten.
“Most Israelis believing they are “chosen” ( self-chosen shitbags like crypto fake j. THSB* drumpf / gj) and thereby have the birthright to abuse and kill people at will including tens of thousands of children “lest they grow up to be terrorists”….And now the United States of America seems to be on the same page” ( from the intro)
America has been on that page from day one….. I don’t agree with the policy of 1948 israhell/ of course / “let there be no doubt about that” / to quote Bush II / said to have Ashkenazi roots from an immigrant family of Europe / Bohemia region in vorher ChechoSlovakia….
So is Canada ( and most of the rest of the Americas,,,,,,)

“If Charlie had Saville & Andrew had Epst. / who is winning there ?” / 9.11: ….Kevin A jumps in: “and it’s a direct link to everything we are talking about…. 2 days ago was the 15th anniversary of the murder of William Coombs after he saw queen Elisabeth (aka Evil Lizzy II/ gj) take those ten children away from the Kamloops death camp in 1964…and we know subsequently that Charles (Charlie with the sausage fingers/ gj) put out the kill order on William Coombs…”
Kalergi immigration tsunami allergy of white Europeans living in Europe is natural ( see my quote of Bush II above) & yes it is orchestrated by the fake j.`s – by race no Semites so being against the mentality displayed by them can’t per definition not be labeled as antisemit/ism- of 1948 israhell but the other component: it is an “empire strikes back consequence”/ 2 nuances in it: colonialism & neo-colonialism…..
Colonialism starting in 1492 by the white Euro’s / to them all non-Euros are Negros / needs no further explanation I suppose but to be specific these two flies can be diagnosed in what France did in its 14 “colonial holiday resorts” in Africa & what it still did/ tries to continue after the “independence” of these African countries…
There is talk/ fear these days of “the great replacement” in white Europe / the presentday USA is a perfect example of it and citizens of European nations were en masse involved in it…..genocide took place on a mass scale..(“we don´t talk about that” / that is labeled by the socio’s etc. “critical race theory”)
Walter Plecker ( funny name / in Dutch “plek” means place) played a major role in the socalled “Paper Genocide” / original – mostly very darkskinned Americans 🧩 – were / relabeled – reset if you will- as Negros and thereby lost their ancestral lands which were “given”(= stolen) by the US govt. to newly incoming Europeans for 5 dollar….the socalled “5 dollar Indians”….look it up…..
Negros ( negro = black in Spanish & Portuguese) were of course the descendants of black Africans who were comfortably cruiseshipped from the west coast of Africa….many Askenazi (fake j.’s/ gj) – the RotSchilds too for example/ they issued an official apology for it some years ago- played a key role in orchestrating that voyage btw….

10.08 ” Now this was described in Deutoronomy 28 vers 37 :’ And thou shalt become an astonishment a proverb & a by-word among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee’
Am glad this excellent black American doc maker Benaya Israel explains this in detail/ said that already for several trillion of years….
🧩 ((( “American Indians”/ A puzzle piece completely lost sight of or perhaps deliberately omitted : Columbus who set sail to discover a new route by sea to go to India / called the black people he saw in the presentday Antiles ( ante islas / islands in front/ before of the Americas) “Indians” / he thought he had made it to India
Back packer Marco Polo who went to India via the Silk Road described the people of India as black/ Christopher Columbus ( In Spanish “Colon” – colonisation any connection?) thought he had made it to India…Europe went back & forth after Polo via the Silk Road & was turd world that time in comparison to India & China ….
The Silk Road became a no go zone due to war road blocks in the Ottoman empire (Turkey of that time) like now heavy under fire by present day Euro Americans in their endless war of terror for the RotSchild founded 1948 israhell….latest version: diablo pedo numero uno drumpf’s Epstein war for israhell )))
