Eating Humble Pie
On 20 May 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about President Trump’s trip to China and what is happening with the Iran war. I made the case that Trump achieved little of economic or strategic consequence in his meeting with President Xi. We also talked about what a hot button issue Taiwan is for the Chinese people and their government as well as what the actual balance of power is today between China and the US.
On Iran, I told the Judge that I had expected that we would be talking about the new US-Israeli bombing campaign, as Trump had promised to restart the air war against Iran on 20 May if there was no agreement. But thankfully Trump called off the attack, saying progress is being made toward cutting a deal to end the war. I emphasized that the only likely way a meaningful settlement can be reached is if Trump negotiates a deal that reflects the fact Iran has won the war, but yet the US gets a few concessions in the process. In the end, the president will have to eat humble pie, which is hard to imagine, but we are likely to reach a point where it is the least bad alternative.
I watched the Munk debate last night, hoping that you would mop the floor with Nuland and Pompeo. I was disappointed. You had Nuland right there--why not speak up about her direct role in facilitating a coup against the elected president of Ukraine (Yanukovich)? Her conversation with Geoffrey Piatt in which the planned the new government? The fact that Nazi groups were involved with the coup?
Also, China is not a threat to the U.S. They may have a political system at odds with our beliefs, but that can change, and its not a threat to us. They are building, developing-infrastructure, industry, lifting millions out of poverty in China, helping Africa to develop. They're not interested in aggression. Taiwan has always been part of China, and their relations with Taiwan is their business, not ours. Even the head of the Kuomintang wants good relations with China.
We have been systematically destroying our country from within since JFK was murdered. We are our own worst enemy. The monster is here. In the CIA, the Military Industrial Complex, the Neocons.
It just seemed as if the debate was controlled. And Nuland and Pompeo are evil. They are shameless liars and warmongers.
And WHAT is the case against Iran?
Iran has done absolutely nothing to warrant any kind of attack. The most it has done is to support Liberation organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas, who are the only ones it seems struggling to stop Israel's tyrrany and mass murder of civilians and little children: in their incessant quest to conquer all the nations in the region, and expand inconceivably past what was granted them by the UN in 1948!!! (without any consultation of the people living on that land for a millenium! - in an era of Colonialism).
When the WHOLE WORLD should be struggling to stop Israel's tyrrany and mass murder of civilians and little children!!!
Let's also not forget how the US sanctions have killed millions of Iranians over the decades.
WTF is wrong with people's brains these days? The US is in a vice grip from 🇮🇱, and apparently happy to be, while the government neglects Americans and donates endlessly to 🇮🇱 🤪
