On 15 January 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about a variety of topics, but most importantly on the evolving situation in Iran.
Yes, thank you for never relinquishing never letting go of our United States complicity in the crime of crimes the Israeli/US genocide against the poor Palestinians.
It would've been much less expensive and with God on our side than mechanized warfare, mechanized mass murder yes it would've been much cheaper much less expensive and much more noble to feed Palestine and help them and build a beautiful society.
Thank you guys for never letting this what I call the backbone of all of our global trouble today you never let it go. You always mention genocide the crime of crimes thank you.
I'm glad you reference and emphasize the genocide in Gaza, and US complicity in it, since all else pales by comparison, and makes hypocrites of those that support it and think they are free to take a righteous stance on other issues. Max Blumenthal has a really clear perspective on that is going on in Iran, as opposed to what is being reported which is largely influenced by propaganda from the states and Israel.
It would be a very good thing if AIPAC didn't have such a hold on our government officials. If our elected officials operated with a sense of their own conscience their support for the genocide in Gaza, as well as our decades of middle eastern wars would not even be a topic of discussion. We have to be careful about the company we keep.
Ahh the Saudis via kushner no doubt called it off despite Bibi and the wrecking crew stamping their feet. Interesting. I listen to no one except Mearshimer and Max Blumenthal Grey zone on Iran
You reflexively blame Israel and the United States while minimizing—or effectively excusing—the single most destabilizing force in the Middle East for the past four decades: the Iranian regime itself.
Iran did not need Israel or the U.S. to “wreck” the region. Tehran has done that on its own, methodically and deliberately. Yemen was turned into a humanitarian catastrophe by Iran’s arming of the Houthis. Lebanon was hollowed out and captured by Hezbollah. Iraq was destabilized through militias loyal to Tehran rather than Baghdad. Syria was kept alive as a killing field through Iranian money, fighters, and direction. Israel has faced decades of proxy warfare, rockets, terror attacks, and explicit calls for its destruction—all orchestrated by Iran.
To describe this record and still conclude that Iran is not the central threat to regional stability requires ignoring overwhelming evidence.
More striking is what you omit entirely: the Iranian people. Millions of Iranians are not protesting because of Israel or the United States. They are protesting because they are desperate to end a corrupt, brutal, and ideologically bankrupt regime that has stolen their future, crushed dissent, executed opponents, brutalized women, and squandered national wealth on foreign militias and terror networks.
Your suggestion that “wrecking Iran” would turn it into “another Syria” reverses cause and effect. Syria became Syria because Iran intervened to prop up a murderous regime. Iran is already wrecked internally by its own rulers. The only force emboldened by preserving the status quo is the regime in Tehran—not Israel, not the U.S., and certainly not the Iranian people.
Finally, the claim that Gulf states now see a U.S.–Israeli “tag team” as a greater threat than Iran strains credibility. Gulf leaders have spent years hedging precisely because they doubt America’s willingness to confront Iran, not because they fear Israel. Quiet normalization, intelligence sharing, and security coordination with Israel have expanded for one reason: Iran is viewed as the common menace.
Your analysis does more than get the facts wrong—it actively inverts reality. By repeatedly absolving Iran’s rulers and redirecting blame toward Israel, you provide intellectual cover for one of the most repressive and destructive regimes on earth. This is not realism; it is a distortion that excuses tyranny, erases the suffering of millions, and substitutes ideology for evidence. At this point, the failure is not analytical but moral.
You said: You reflexively blame Israel and the United States while minimizing—or effectively excusing—the single most destabilizing force in the Middle East for the past four decades: the Iranian regime itself.
The single most destablizing forces in the world are the US and Israel.
Actions speak louder than words and if we look at actions it is clear the US and Israel have destroyed far more countries and murdered far more people and invaded far more places than Iran has done in more than a century.
Iran is not occupying another country and inflicting genocide. Israel is doing that.
Iran has not assassinated, destroyed, bombed, murdered without provocation other countries. Israel has done that for 77 years.
Iran has not invaded other countries and sought to destroy them. The US and Israel has done that.
The Americans and Israelis have put real terrorists into Government in Syria. Iran has not done that.
What is Iran's crime? Supporting valid and legal Resistance militias in Palestine and Lebanon. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WEST DID IN WORLD WAR TWO. Why the double standards?
You said: Yemen was turned into a humanitarian catastrophe by Iran’s arming of the Houthis. Lebanon was hollowed out and captured by Hezbollah. Iraq was destabilized through militias loyal to Tehran rather than Baghdad.
You do not even know when you are lying. Yemen was turned into a killing field by the Americans and Israelis and whatever part Iran may have played, or Saudi Arabia or Russia, or anyone else most responsibility for the carnage rests with USRAEL.
Who murdered the Yemeni Government? Israel.
You said: Syria was kept alive as a killing field through Iranian money, fighters, and direction.
BULLSHIT. American sanctions and Israeli sabotage kept Syria a killing field.
You said: Israel has faced decades of proxy warfare, rockets, terror attacks, and explicit calls for its destruction—all orchestrated by Iran.
MORE BULLSHIT. Israel has been attacked because it occupies all of Palestine and treats the native people of the land it has stolen with bestial savagery and sadistic cruelty denying them all civil and human rights. Iran supports them for the same reasons we supported the French and Polish Resistance against the Nazis.
ISRAEL INVADED LEBANON IN 1978 AND HEZBOLLAH WAS FORMED IN 1982. Cause and effect. Israel occupies part of Lebanon, Shebaa Farms and has bombed and assassinated and destroyed in Lebanon for nearly half a century., Duh, there is a Lebanese Resistance? Why would that be?
You said: To describe this record and still conclude that Iran is not the central threat to regional stability requires ignoring overwhelming evidence.
You did not describe a record, you repeated propaganda.
You said: Millions of Iranians are not protesting because of Israel or the United States. They are protesting because they are desperate to end a corrupt, brutal, and ideologically bankrupt regime that has stolen their future, crushed dissent, executed opponents, brutalized women, and squandered national wealth on foreign militias and terror networks.
MORE BULLSHIT. Study the rule of the Shah put in place by the Americans and British and by comparison the Islamic Government of Iran is benign.
Most Iranians are conservative and support their Government. Some do not, particularly the young but if we took that as a criteria the United States should have regime change and have its Government destroyed.
You said: Syria became Syria because Iran intervened to prop up a murderous regime. Iran is already wrecked internally by its own rulers.
BULLSHIT. Syria became Syria because of US sanctions and meddling and Israeli sabotage and Turkish and other interference.
You said: The only force emboldened by preserving the status quo is the regime in Tehran—not Israel, not the U.S., and certainly not the Iranian people.
BACK TO ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Take a look at countries where thugrael and the US regime have brought about change!!!!
They are all wrecks. Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq. Only an idiot would say that worked unless the goal was social dysfunction and destruction. And that has always been the goal.
You said: Finally, the claim that Gulf states now see a U.S.–Israeli “tag team” as a greater threat than Iran strains credibility. Gulf leaders have spent years hedging precisely because they doubt America’s willingness to confront Iran, not because they fear Israel.
YOUR CAPACITY FOR BULLSHIT IS IMPRESSIVE. The Gulf States are Arab and Iran is not. There are also religious differences. However, Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran brought the Arabs and the Persians closer together. Why would that be?
Only a deranged idiot would not see the writing on the wall. USRAEL destroying Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and looking to take out Iran, says to anyone with half a brain that the evil bastards have Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and all the Gulf States in their sights.
I don't buy it - don't know what your gig is or who pays you - I am just a passion US citizen who like George Washington expressed:
Neutrality: Remaining impartial in European conflicts to avoid costly wars and focus on domestic growth.
No Permanent Alliances: Warning against binding treaties that could entangle the U.S. in foreign disputes, though temporary ones for emergencies were acceptable.
Good Faith & Justice: Fulfilling existing obligations while pursuing peace and commercial ties with all nations.
National Interest First: Acting in America's own interest, recognizing that nations primarily serve themselves.
No one pays me. I’m simply a concerned U.S. citizen who believes in America’s role as a moral superpower and in acting for the country’s long-term good.
Invoking George Washington does not support the conclusion you’re drawing. His warnings about neutrality and permanent alliances were meant to keep America out of other nations’ wars—not to ignore regimes that actively destabilize regions, threaten global commerce, and target U.S. interests and allies.
Putting “national interest first” does not mean passivity. Ignoring Iran’s proxy warfare, its disruption of energy markets, and its threats to global shipping does not protect the United States—it hurts America, both strategically and economically.
Washington argued for prudence and restraint, not indifference to sustained aggression. The real question isn’t principle; it’s whether turning a blind eye to Iran actually serves American interests.
You did have a lot of people falling about laughing with your comment:
America’s role as a moral superpower and in acting for the country’s long-term good.
Study the history and it is clear the United States is the greatest threat to world peace and has the worst record for terrorism and slaughter of any Western nation in the modern age.
There is nothing moral about the US and it is no longer a superpower. Thank God. The brief rule by the Americans has been a total disaster. Millions dead, a dozen countries destroyed and more on the way.
States which seek to destroy other nations by sanctions, war, genocide and total dismissal of rule of law, human rights, democracy, justice and common human decency are totally immoral.
More than a million Iraqis were murdered by the US, 10 million injured and more than that made refugees.
The US/Nato proxy war against Russia has killed a million Ukrainians and you have the cheek to talk about morality?
Go and look at what the evil American bastards have done in South America, Africa, the Middle East, assassinating democratically elected leaders and fomenting coups to take out legitimate Governments. And you call that a fucking force for good. You are insane.
Ross, you’re not a thinker. What you spew isn’t analysis; it’s childish tantrums where you absolve Iran’s theocratic butchers, Hezbollah’s extortion rackets, Hamas rapists, and Houthi child-soldier traffickers. You are obsessed with blame on the U.S. and—more so—the Jews.
You call medieval death cults “legal resistance,” compare them to the French Resistance, label the Islamic Republic “benign” while spitting on the graves of every Iranian woman beaten to death, teenager hanged, or dissident tortured because their blood messes up your Jew-hate fetish. You ignore Iran’s record of exporting terror, starving Yemen, hollowing out Lebanon, and backing Assad’s gas attacks. Without facts, you push conspiracy-drenched rants, blood-libel genocide claims, and Protocols-style global Jewish plot obsession. You are little more than a useful idiot. I wish you were living in Iran, you POS.
I do not condone the crimes of any Government which is why I oppose the truly genocidal Israeli regime.
Most that people are told about Iran is propaganda. I know people who have worked there. The Government is not a theocratic butcher. Shit, unarmed protesters are being murdered in the US as we speak and you talk about butchery. Guantanamo Bay was some of the worst butchery in modern history.
You said: Hezbollah’s extortion rackets,
Prove it. Hezbollah is a highly effective part of the Lebanese Government and no more corrupt than most others and certainly not as corrupt as the Americans and Israelis.
You said: Hamas rapists,
The rape claims from Israel were debunked within months. All lies and bullshit. We DO HOWEVER HAVE 77 YEARS OF CLEARLY DOCUMENTED RAPE BY THE JEWS, ZIONISTS AND ISRAELIS AND EVEN ISRAELI HISTORIANS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT.
We also have the video of the Knesset debating if rape was acceptable for prisoners and voting that it was and there should be more of it including anal rape using gun barrels and metal rods. AND YOU HAVE THE CHEEK TO TALK ABOUT HAMAS AND RAPE WHEN THE ISRAELIS ADMIT IT.
You said: And Houthi child-soldier traffickers.
If that is happening in Yemen it is not as bad as the Israeli practice of murdering children for fun.
You said: You are obsessed with blame on the U.S. and—more so—the Jews.
I AM OBSESSED WITH FACTS AND FACTS ARE WHAT I PRESENT. And if you are saying valid condemnation of Israeli atrocities is an attack on Jews then WOW, YOU ARE SAYING THAT OCCUPATION, GENOCIDE, COLONISATION, ETHNIC CLEANSING, RAPE, TORTURE, MURDER, THEFT, DESTRUCTION AND THE INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN REPRESENT JUDAIC AND JEWISH VALUES AND PRACTICES.
Are you sure you want to spread that message?
You said: You call medieval death cults “legal resistance,”
Since we do not live in medieval times you are off topic. UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AN OCCUPIED PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE THUGS WHO OCCUPY THEIR COUNTRY AND THAT SAYS PALESTINIANS, LEBANESE AND SYRIANS HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO RESIST THE ISRAELI OCCUPIERS.
You said: compare them to the French Resistance,
Why did the French Resistance exist? To resist and fight their occupiers.
Why does the Palestinian Resistance exist? To resist and fight their occupiers. SEE HOW IT WORKS.
You said: label the Islamic Republic “benign”
BAD BOY MISQUOTING. I did not say the Islamic Republic was benign in a generic sense, I said compared to the rule of the Shah the Islamic Government was benign. Sure they get some things wrong but hell, look at what the US Government is doing to American civilians.
You said: while spitting on the graves of every Iranian woman beaten to death, teenager hanged, or dissident tortured
More women are beaten to death, more teenagers hanged and more dissidents tortured in the US than Iran. So, you think we need to destroy the Government in the US and break up the country?
You said: your Jew-hate fetish.
You are again making the case that Israeli atrocities represent Jewish values and practices. You are the one who hates Jews and their religion.
You said: You ignore Iran’s record of exporting terror, starving Yemen, hollowing out Lebanon, and backing Assad’s gas attacks.
AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED.
The US and Israel have exported far more terror and Israel is the terrorist State. Iran supports valid Resistance movements so wow, if they are exporting terror by doing that then we were exporting terror as the Germans claimed, by supporting the French and Polish Resistance.
Israel is starving Palestine and Iran is not starving Yemen.
Israel is hollowing out Lebanon not Iran.
There is no proof Assad was responsible for the chemical attacks. And if he was it pales into insignificance against Israel slaughtering civilians, most of them children, with White Phosphorus.
Your last para of childish abuse is an admission you cannot refute the facts I presented and it pisses you off. Thanks for making that clear.
You really are batshit crazy and prove it with every text. This isn’t a response; it’s a pathetic parade of baseless accusations, wild conspiracies, and outright lies masquerading as arguments. You throw around explosive claims like “genocide” and “fabricated rapes” without a shred of credible evidence, then hide behind profanity and slurs when challenged.
I’ll dismantle your nonsense point by point with actual facts, and once again demand what you’ve consistently failed to provide: real sources instead of your delusional rants.
1 “Israel is genocidal”
Your hysterical claim: Israel is committing genocide. The cold reality: Genocide has a strict legal definition under the 1948 Convention. As of January 2026, the ICJ case (South Africa v. Israel) remains ongoing—no final judgment has found genocide. The Court issued provisional measures in 2024 (e.g., January 26 and May 24 orders) expressing concerns and ordering prevention steps, but it has never ruled that genocide is occurring. No binding UN or ICJ determination exists. Allegations from biased activists or cherry-picked quotes are not proof. Demand: Produce an actual court ruling or UN finding that legally establishes genocide—not your feverish slogans or outdated provisional orders.
2 “Iran is not a theocratic butcher”
Your absurd claim: Iran is some innocent victim; all repression talk is propaganda. The ugly truth: Iran’s regime routinely executes protesters, imprisons and tortures dissidents, enforces forced veiling with violence, jails journalists, and has escalated brutal crackdowns—including mass killings and internet blackouts—amid recent protests in 2026. These are exhaustively documented by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN Special Rapporteurs, and the UN Fact-Finding Mission, which condemned surges in repression, executions, and violence against peaceful demonstrators. Demand: Name even one reputable human-rights organization that describes Iran as anything other than a repressive theocracy—because none exist outside your fantasy world.
3 “Hezbollah extortion—prove it”
Your laughable defense: Hezbollah is pure and uncorrupt. The documented facts: Hezbollah operates parallel taxation schemes, runs smuggling rings, engages in money laundering, and extorts coercive “donations.” This is confirmed by repeated U.S. Treasury designations (including recent 2025 actions on facilitators funneling Iranian funds), EU reports, Lebanese investigative journalism, and Interpol-linked cases. Their Business Affairs Component is notorious for criminal enterprises worldwide. Demand: Show credible evidence that Hezbollah does not engage in these activities—good luck finding any.
4 “Hamas rape was debunked”
Your disgusting lie: Sexual violence on October 7 was fabricated. The verified evidence: Multiple independent sources—including forensic reports, survivor testimonies, medical responders, journalists, and UN findings—corroborate rape, gang rape, and sexualized torture. The UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict found “clear and convincing information” of such acts during the attacks and against hostages (with reasonable grounds for multiple locations). In 2025, Hamas was added to the UN’s sexual violence blacklist. No credible peer-reviewed or UN report has “debunked” these crimes. Demand: Cite an actual UN or peer-reviewed finding that debunks them—not your bigoted denialism.
Your casual anti-Jewish slurs aren’t evidence; they’re just vile bigotry that exposes your prejudice.
5 “Houthis child soldiers—Israel is worse”
Your deflection: Child soldiering isn’t proven for Houthis. The straightforward record: The UN Secretary-General’s annual Children and Armed Conflict reports have repeatedly listed the Houthis for recruiting and using child soldiers (including post-2023 escalations tied to their response to regional events). This is primary UN documentation spanning years. Demand: Refute the actual UN reports with primary evidence—not your whataboutism.
6 “International law allows armed ‘resistance’”
Your ignorant claim: Any armed group can do whatever in the name of “resistance.” The legal fact: International humanitarian law (Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols) strictly prohibits targeting civilians, rape, hostage-taking, and indiscriminate rocket attacks—these are war crimes, full stop, regardless of grievances or “cause.” No treaty or ruling authorizes them. Demand: Quote the specific legal text that permits these atrocities—because it doesn’t exist.
7 “French Resistance comparison”
Your ridiculous analogy: Hamas/Hezbollah are just like the French Resistance. The historical truth: The French Resistance targeted Nazi occupying forces and military infrastructure; they did not systematically murder civilians, take hostages for rape and execution, or aim to erase an entire people. Your comparison is intellectually dishonest and historically illiterate. Demand: Provide legitimate historical evidence for your false equivalence—none exists.
8 “Assad chemical attacks unproven”
Your conspiracy claim: No proof Assad used chemical weapons. The established record: The OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) has attributed multiple chemical attacks to Assad’s forces, with findings on chlorine, sarin, and mustard agent use. Even post-Assad (after regime fall), ongoing OPCW work addresses remnants and discrepancies in declarations. Demand: Cite a credible body that overturns OPCW attributions—none credible does.
9 “U.S. murders more protesters than Iran”
Your wildly false equivalence: The U.S. kills more protesters than Iran. The obvious reality: This is nonsense by any reliable comparative data. Iran’s regime has executed hundreds in crackdowns (with documented mass killings in recent 2026 protests), while U.S. protest-related deaths are orders of magnitude lower and heavily scrutinized. No dataset supports your claim. Demand: Provide verified, comparable statistics—not empty assertions.
Bottom line
You peddle extraordinary, inflammatory lies—genocide accusations, rape denial, theocracy whitewashing—without a single piece of extraordinary (or even ordinary) evidence. Screaming, cursing, and spewing anti-Jewish bigotry doesn’t substitute for facts, documents, court rulings, UN reports, or named investigators.
If you want anyone to take your drivel seriously, back it up with real sources. Until then, it’s just pathetic noise.
You subscribe to Mearsheimer’s and other similar substacks, and not many others, for such altruistic, US-citizen-for-reals reasons, eh? And spend all that time constructing walls of bullshit against authors you repeatedly disagree with?
No US citizen should believe your nonsense or that you are a real person, Richardjaffee35764256 or whatever your handle is.
Real people don't waste time on uselessly long numeric identifiers after their profile name, either.
I comment on Mearsheimer’s Substack precisely because readers like you are insulated from opposing facts. Engaging where disagreement exists is how ideas are tested—something you’d recognize if you valued debate over tribal affirmation.
As for the handle, it’s an auto-generated identifier. Attacking that instead of the argument is telling. When you can’t rebut facts, you reach for conspiracy and personal insults.
If challenging your assumptions feels threatening, that says more about the fragility of the narrative you’re defending than about my motives or my citizenship.
I believe the comments about “we Americans are with you protestors and we are coming to help” and “we salute the Mossad agents among you” were intentional gambits to foment civil war between Iranians as a plan B to an external attack
Any government that actually supported protestors and wanted to help them would not undermine them in the eyes of their fellow citizens in that way. If you were hoping to encourage paranoia recrimination and turning Iranians against one another, however, it is exactly what you would say.
Russia always say sanctions don’t work but in regard of Iran it has had a devastating effect on their economy. Why can’t Russia and China which like to call themselves superpowers save Iran?
Since Iranians know that in the US protesters get shot in the head they would take little heed about Americans being with anyone.
The Iranian Government shut down Starlink and turned off communication for the Mossad/CIA saboteurs and terrorists and the protests folded. Iranians then took to the streets in their millions in support of their Government but mainstream media would not show that.
Russia always say sanctions don’t work but in regard of Iran it has had a devastating effect on their economy. Why can’t Russia and China which like to call themselves superpowers save Iran?
You don’t get to start history with Netanyahu, or with 2023, or with Gaza.
For over 75 years, Israelis have lived under a sustained campaign of terrorism whose stated goal has been the elimination of the Jewish state. This is not rhetoric—it is documented history. A non-exhaustive list:
• 1950s – Fedayeen raids from Gaza and Jordan: civilians murdered in homes, farms, and on buses
• 2002 – Passover massacre in Netanya (30 civilians murdered)
• 2002–2004 – Dozens of suicide bombings on buses, cafes, universities
• 2006–present – Tens of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli cities
• 2008 – Mercaz HaRav yeshiva massacre
• 2011 – Itamar family murdered in their home
• 2014 – Jerusalem synagogue massacre
• 2015–2016 – Stabbing, shooting, and car-ramming wave
• 2023 (Oct 7) – Mass invasion and massacre: ~1,200 murdered, hostages taken, entire communities destroyed
These attacks overwhelmingly targeted civilians—children, commuters, worshippers, families in their homes.
Every major Israeli security measure—checkpoints, the security barrier, Iron Dome, targeted strikes—came after these waves of mass-casualty terrorism, not before them.
So yes: the Israeli prime minister—any prime minister—has a basic obligation to keep Israelis alive. When an enemy openly celebrates murder, teaches it, funds it, and repeats it for decades, “doing nothing” is not moral restraint. It is abdication.
You can argue about tactics. You can criticize leaders.
But erasing this history while moralizing at Israel is not serious analysis—it’s selective amnesia.

Yes, thank you for never relinquishing never letting go of our United States complicity in the crime of crimes the Israeli/US genocide against the poor Palestinians.

The world needs to be saved from the United States and so do Americans.
It would be a very good thing if AIPAC didn't have such a hold on our government officials. If our elected officials operated with a sense of their own conscience their support for the genocide in Gaza, as well as our decades of middle eastern wars would not even be a topic of discussion.

Ha! If you only listen to Mearsheimer and Blumenthal, you are a moron. Two of the worst analysts out there. Shame on you.
Once again, you have it exactly backward.
You reflexively blame Israel and the United States while minimizing—or effectively excusing—the single most destabilizing force in the Middle East for the past four decades: the Iranian regime itself.
Iran did not need Israel or the U.S. to “wreck” the region. Tehran has done that on its own, methodically and deliberately. Yemen was turned into a humanitarian catastrophe by Iran’s arming of the Houthis. Lebanon was hollowed out and captured by Hezbollah. Iraq was destabilized through militias loyal to Tehran rather than Baghdad. Syria was kept alive as a killing field through Iranian money, fighters, and direction. Israel has faced decades of proxy warfare, rockets, terror attacks, and explicit calls for its destruction—all orchestrated by Iran.
To describe this record and still conclude that Iran is not the central threat to regional stability requires ignoring overwhelming evidence.
More striking is what you omit entirely: the Iranian people. Millions of Iranians are not protesting because of Israel or the United States. They are protesting because they are desperate to end a corrupt, brutal, and ideologically bankrupt regime that has stolen their future, crushed dissent, executed opponents, brutalized women, and squandered national wealth on foreign militias and terror networks.
Your suggestion that “wrecking Iran” would turn it into “another Syria” reverses cause and effect. Syria became Syria because Iran intervened to prop up a murderous regime. Iran is already wrecked internally by its own rulers. The only force emboldened by preserving the status quo is the regime in Tehran—not Israel, not the U.S., and certainly not the Iranian people.
Finally, the claim that Gulf states now see a U.S.–Israeli “tag team” as a greater threat than Iran strains credibility. Gulf leaders have spent years hedging precisely because they doubt America’s willingness to confront Iran, not because they fear Israel. Quiet normalization, intelligence sharing, and security coordination with Israel have expanded for one reason: Iran is viewed as the common menace.

This is not realism; it is a distortion that excuses tyranny, erases the suffering of millions, and substitutes ideology for evidence. At this point, the failure is not analytical but moral.

Only a deranged idiot would not see the writing on the wall. USRAEL destroying Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and looking to take out Iran, says to anyone with half a brain that the evil bastards have Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and all the Gulf States in their sights.
Thank you Roslyn!! Your ability to deal with people like Jaffee is really admirable.
You said it
Excellent summary, and honest historical perspective, not based on a hateful perspective and bias.
MIit den Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens. Mr.Jaffee, you are stupidity personified!
Du Nazi-Liebhaber, du armseliger Vollidiot!
Thank you for your affirmation.
I don't buy it - don't know what your gig is or who pays you - I am just a passion US citizen who like George Washington expressed:
Neutrality: Remaining impartial in European conflicts to avoid costly wars and focus on domestic growth.
No Permanent Alliances: Warning against binding treaties that could entangle the U.S. in foreign disputes, though temporary ones for emergencies were acceptable.
Good Faith & Justice: Fulfilling existing obligations while pursuing peace and commercial ties with all nations.
National Interest First: Acting in America's own interest, recognizing that nations primarily serve themselves.
Jaffee is a propagandist but he is useful because it gives the chance to replace his bullshit with facts.
You did just that thank you 😊
No one pays me. I’m simply a concerned U.S. citizen who believes in America’s role as a moral superpower and in acting for the country’s long-term good.
Invoking George Washington does not support the conclusion you’re drawing. His warnings about neutrality and permanent alliances were meant to keep America out of other nations’ wars—not to ignore regimes that actively destabilize regions, threaten global commerce, and target U.S. interests and allies.
Putting “national interest first” does not mean passivity. Ignoring Iran’s proxy warfare, its disruption of energy markets, and its threats to global shipping does not protect the United States—it hurts America, both strategically and economically.
Washington argued for prudence and restraint, not indifference to sustained aggression. The real question isn’t principle; it’s whether turning a blind eye to Iran actually serves American interests.
You did have a lot of people falling about laughing with your comment:
America’s role as a moral superpower and in acting for the country’s long-term good.
Study the history and it is clear the United States is the greatest threat to world peace and has the worst record for terrorism and slaughter of any Western nation in the modern age.
There is nothing moral about the US and it is no longer a superpower. Thank God. The brief rule by the Americans has been a total disaster. Millions dead, a dozen countries destroyed and more on the way.
States which seek to destroy other nations by sanctions, war, genocide and total dismissal of rule of law, human rights, democracy, justice and common human decency are totally immoral.
More than a million Iraqis were murdered by the US, 10 million injured and more than that made refugees.
The US/Nato proxy war against Russia has killed a million Ukrainians and you have the cheek to talk about morality?
Go and look at what the evil American bastards have done in South America, Africa, the Middle East, assassinating democratically elected leaders and fomenting coups to take out legitimate Governments. And you call that a fucking force for good. You are insane.
Ross, you’re not a thinker. What you spew isn’t analysis; it’s childish tantrums where you absolve Iran’s theocratic butchers, Hezbollah’s extortion rackets, Hamas rapists, and Houthi child-soldier traffickers. You are obsessed with blame on the U.S. and—more so—the Jews.
You call medieval death cults “legal resistance,” compare them to the French Resistance, label the Islamic Republic “benign” while spitting on the graves of every Iranian woman beaten to death, teenager hanged, or dissident tortured because their blood messes up your Jew-hate fetish. You ignore Iran’s record of exporting terror, starving Yemen, hollowing out Lebanon, and backing Assad’s gas attacks. Without facts, you push conspiracy-drenched rants, blood-libel genocide claims, and Protocols-style global Jewish plot obsession. You are little more than a useful idiot. I wish you were living in Iran, you POS.
I do not condone the crimes of any Government which is why I oppose the truly genocidal Israeli regime.
Most that people are told about Iran is propaganda. I know people who have worked there. The Government is not a theocratic butcher. Shit, unarmed protesters are being murdered in the US as we speak and you talk about butchery. Guantanamo Bay was some of the worst butchery in modern history.
You said: Hezbollah’s extortion rackets,
Prove it. Hezbollah is a highly effective part of the Lebanese Government and no more corrupt than most others and certainly not as corrupt as the Americans and Israelis.
You said: Hamas rapists,
The rape claims from Israel were debunked within months. All lies and bullshit. We DO HOWEVER HAVE 77 YEARS OF CLEARLY DOCUMENTED RAPE BY THE JEWS, ZIONISTS AND ISRAELIS AND EVEN ISRAELI HISTORIANS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THAT.
We also have the video of the Knesset debating if rape was acceptable for prisoners and voting that it was and there should be more of it including anal rape using gun barrels and metal rods. AND YOU HAVE THE CHEEK TO TALK ABOUT HAMAS AND RAPE WHEN THE ISRAELIS ADMIT IT.
You said: And Houthi child-soldier traffickers.
If that is happening in Yemen it is not as bad as the Israeli practice of murdering children for fun.
You said: You are obsessed with blame on the U.S. and—more so—the Jews.
I AM OBSESSED WITH FACTS AND FACTS ARE WHAT I PRESENT. And if you are saying valid condemnation of Israeli atrocities is an attack on Jews then WOW, YOU ARE SAYING THAT OCCUPATION, GENOCIDE, COLONISATION, ETHNIC CLEANSING, RAPE, TORTURE, MURDER, THEFT, DESTRUCTION AND THE INTENTIONAL MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN REPRESENT JUDAIC AND JEWISH VALUES AND PRACTICES.
Are you sure you want to spread that message?
You said: You call medieval death cults “legal resistance,”
Since we do not live in medieval times you are off topic. UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AN OCCUPIED PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE THUGS WHO OCCUPY THEIR COUNTRY AND THAT SAYS PALESTINIANS, LEBANESE AND SYRIANS HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO RESIST THE ISRAELI OCCUPIERS.
You said: compare them to the French Resistance,
Why did the French Resistance exist? To resist and fight their occupiers.
Why does the Palestinian Resistance exist? To resist and fight their occupiers. SEE HOW IT WORKS.
You said: label the Islamic Republic “benign”
BAD BOY MISQUOTING. I did not say the Islamic Republic was benign in a generic sense, I said compared to the rule of the Shah the Islamic Government was benign. Sure they get some things wrong but hell, look at what the US Government is doing to American civilians.
You said: while spitting on the graves of every Iranian woman beaten to death, teenager hanged, or dissident tortured
More women are beaten to death, more teenagers hanged and more dissidents tortured in the US than Iran. So, you think we need to destroy the Government in the US and break up the country?
You said: your Jew-hate fetish.
You are again making the case that Israeli atrocities represent Jewish values and practices. You are the one who hates Jews and their religion.
You said: You ignore Iran’s record of exporting terror, starving Yemen, hollowing out Lebanon, and backing Assad’s gas attacks.
AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED AND I LAUGHED.
The US and Israel have exported far more terror and Israel is the terrorist State. Iran supports valid Resistance movements so wow, if they are exporting terror by doing that then we were exporting terror as the Germans claimed, by supporting the French and Polish Resistance.
Israel is starving Palestine and Iran is not starving Yemen.
Israel is hollowing out Lebanon not Iran.
There is no proof Assad was responsible for the chemical attacks. And if he was it pales into insignificance against Israel slaughtering civilians, most of them children, with White Phosphorus.
Your last para of childish abuse is an admission you cannot refute the facts I presented and it pisses you off. Thanks for making that clear.
You really are batshit crazy and prove it with every text. This isn’t a response; it’s a pathetic parade of baseless accusations, wild conspiracies, and outright lies masquerading as arguments. You throw around explosive claims like “genocide” and “fabricated rapes” without a shred of credible evidence, then hide behind profanity and slurs when challenged.
I’ll dismantle your nonsense point by point with actual facts, and once again demand what you’ve consistently failed to provide: real sources instead of your delusional rants.
1 “Israel is genocidal”
Your hysterical claim: Israel is committing genocide. The cold reality: Genocide has a strict legal definition under the 1948 Convention. As of January 2026, the ICJ case (South Africa v. Israel) remains ongoing—no final judgment has found genocide. The Court issued provisional measures in 2024 (e.g., January 26 and May 24 orders) expressing concerns and ordering prevention steps, but it has never ruled that genocide is occurring. No binding UN or ICJ determination exists. Allegations from biased activists or cherry-picked quotes are not proof. Demand: Produce an actual court ruling or UN finding that legally establishes genocide—not your feverish slogans or outdated provisional orders.
2 “Iran is not a theocratic butcher”
Your absurd claim: Iran is some innocent victim; all repression talk is propaganda. The ugly truth: Iran’s regime routinely executes protesters, imprisons and tortures dissidents, enforces forced veiling with violence, jails journalists, and has escalated brutal crackdowns—including mass killings and internet blackouts—amid recent protests in 2026. These are exhaustively documented by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN Special Rapporteurs, and the UN Fact-Finding Mission, which condemned surges in repression, executions, and violence against peaceful demonstrators. Demand: Name even one reputable human-rights organization that describes Iran as anything other than a repressive theocracy—because none exist outside your fantasy world.
3 “Hezbollah extortion—prove it”
Your laughable defense: Hezbollah is pure and uncorrupt. The documented facts: Hezbollah operates parallel taxation schemes, runs smuggling rings, engages in money laundering, and extorts coercive “donations.” This is confirmed by repeated U.S. Treasury designations (including recent 2025 actions on facilitators funneling Iranian funds), EU reports, Lebanese investigative journalism, and Interpol-linked cases. Their Business Affairs Component is notorious for criminal enterprises worldwide. Demand: Show credible evidence that Hezbollah does not engage in these activities—good luck finding any.
4 “Hamas rape was debunked”
Your disgusting lie: Sexual violence on October 7 was fabricated. The verified evidence: Multiple independent sources—including forensic reports, survivor testimonies, medical responders, journalists, and UN findings—corroborate rape, gang rape, and sexualized torture. The UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict found “clear and convincing information” of such acts during the attacks and against hostages (with reasonable grounds for multiple locations). In 2025, Hamas was added to the UN’s sexual violence blacklist. No credible peer-reviewed or UN report has “debunked” these crimes. Demand: Cite an actual UN or peer-reviewed finding that debunks them—not your bigoted denialism.
Your casual anti-Jewish slurs aren’t evidence; they’re just vile bigotry that exposes your prejudice.
5 “Houthis child soldiers—Israel is worse”
Your deflection: Child soldiering isn’t proven for Houthis. The straightforward record: The UN Secretary-General’s annual Children and Armed Conflict reports have repeatedly listed the Houthis for recruiting and using child soldiers (including post-2023 escalations tied to their response to regional events). This is primary UN documentation spanning years. Demand: Refute the actual UN reports with primary evidence—not your whataboutism.
6 “International law allows armed ‘resistance’”
Your ignorant claim: Any armed group can do whatever in the name of “resistance.” The legal fact: International humanitarian law (Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols) strictly prohibits targeting civilians, rape, hostage-taking, and indiscriminate rocket attacks—these are war crimes, full stop, regardless of grievances or “cause.” No treaty or ruling authorizes them. Demand: Quote the specific legal text that permits these atrocities—because it doesn’t exist.
7 “French Resistance comparison”
Your ridiculous analogy: Hamas/Hezbollah are just like the French Resistance. The historical truth: The French Resistance targeted Nazi occupying forces and military infrastructure; they did not systematically murder civilians, take hostages for rape and execution, or aim to erase an entire people. Your comparison is intellectually dishonest and historically illiterate. Demand: Provide legitimate historical evidence for your false equivalence—none exists.
8 “Assad chemical attacks unproven”
Your conspiracy claim: No proof Assad used chemical weapons. The established record: The OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) has attributed multiple chemical attacks to Assad’s forces, with findings on chlorine, sarin, and mustard agent use. Even post-Assad (after regime fall), ongoing OPCW work addresses remnants and discrepancies in declarations. Demand: Cite a credible body that overturns OPCW attributions—none credible does.
9 “U.S. murders more protesters than Iran”
Your wildly false equivalence: The U.S. kills more protesters than Iran. The obvious reality: This is nonsense by any reliable comparative data. Iran’s regime has executed hundreds in crackdowns (with documented mass killings in recent 2026 protests), while U.S. protest-related deaths are orders of magnitude lower and heavily scrutinized. No dataset supports your claim. Demand: Provide verified, comparable statistics—not empty assertions.
Bottom line
You peddle extraordinary, inflammatory lies—genocide accusations, rape denial, theocracy whitewashing—without a single piece of extraordinary (or even ordinary) evidence. Screaming, cursing, and spewing anti-Jewish bigotry doesn’t substitute for facts, documents, court rulings, UN reports, or named investigators.
If you want anyone to take your drivel seriously, back it up with real sources. Until then, it’s just pathetic noise.
You subscribe to Mearsheimer’s and other similar substacks, and not many others, for such altruistic, US-citizen-for-reals reasons, eh? And spend all that time constructing walls of bullshit against authors you repeatedly disagree with?
No US citizen should believe your nonsense or that you are a real person, Richardjaffee35764256 or whatever your handle is.
Real people don't waste time on uselessly long numeric identifiers after their profile name, either.
I comment on Mearsheimer’s Substack precisely because readers like you are insulated from opposing facts. Engaging where disagreement exists is how ideas are tested—something you’d recognize if you valued debate over tribal affirmation.
As for the handle, it’s an auto-generated identifier. Attacking that instead of the argument is telling. When you can’t rebut facts, you reach for conspiracy and personal insults.
If challenging your assumptions feels threatening, that says more about the fragility of the narrative you’re defending than about my motives or my citizenship.
But you don't know what I read, robot jaffee.
You’re a dummy
Saying that their actions are ( reckless ) is not true. Their actions are not reckless at all. Their actions are built on a colonialist mindset.
I believe the comments about “we Americans are with you protestors and we are coming to help” and “we salute the Mossad agents among you” were intentional gambits to foment civil war between Iranians as a plan B to an external attack
Any government that actually supported protestors and wanted to help them would not undermine them in the eyes of their fellow citizens in that way. If you were hoping to encourage paranoia recrimination and turning Iranians against one another, however, it is exactly what you would say.
Russia always say sanctions don’t work but in regard of Iran it has had a devastating effect on their economy. Why can’t Russia and China which like to call themselves superpowers save Iran?
Since Iranians know that in the US protesters get shot in the head they would take little heed about Americans being with anyone.
The Iranian Government shut down Starlink and turned off communication for the Mossad/CIA saboteurs and terrorists and the protests folded. Iranians then took to the streets in their millions in support of their Government but mainstream media would not show that.
Russia always say sanctions don’t work but in regard of Iran it has had a devastating effect on their economy. Why can’t Russia and China which like to call themselves superpowers save Iran?
You don’t get to start history with Netanyahu, or with 2023, or with Gaza.
For over 75 years, Israelis have lived under a sustained campaign of terrorism whose stated goal has been the elimination of the Jewish state. This is not rhetoric—it is documented history. A non-exhaustive list:
• 1950s – Fedayeen raids from Gaza and Jordan: civilians murdered in homes, farms, and on buses
• 1965 – First Fatah terror attack inside Israel
• 1968 – El Al flight hijacked
• 1972 – Lod Airport massacre (26 killed); Munich Olympics massacre (11 athletes murdered)
• 1974 – Kiryat Shmona massacre (18 civilians); Ma’alot school massacre (22 killed, mostly children)
• 1975 – Savoy Hotel attack, Tel Aviv
• 1978 – Coastal Road massacre (38 civilians murdered)
• 1989 – Tel Aviv–Jerusalem bus massacre (16 civilians)
• 1994–1997 – Suicide bombings in Afula, Hadera, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv
• 2001 – Dolphinarium nightclub bombing (21 teenagers killed)
• 2002 – Passover massacre in Netanya (30 civilians murdered)
• 2002–2004 – Dozens of suicide bombings on buses, cafes, universities
• 2006–present – Tens of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli cities
• 2008 – Mercaz HaRav yeshiva massacre
• 2011 – Itamar family murdered in their home
• 2014 – Jerusalem synagogue massacre
• 2015–2016 – Stabbing, shooting, and car-ramming wave
• 2023 (Oct 7) – Mass invasion and massacre: ~1,200 murdered, hostages taken, entire communities destroyed
These attacks overwhelmingly targeted civilians—children, commuters, worshippers, families in their homes.
Every major Israeli security measure—checkpoints, the security barrier, Iron Dome, targeted strikes—came after these waves of mass-casualty terrorism, not before them.
So yes: the Israeli prime minister—any prime minister—has a basic obligation to keep Israelis alive. When an enemy openly celebrates murder, teaches it, funds it, and repeats it for decades, “doing nothing” is not moral restraint. It is abdication.
You can argue about tactics. You can criticize leaders.
But erasing this history while moralizing at Israel is not serious analysis—it’s selective amnesia.

And Mossad's head came to the US today, meeting with Witkoff in Miami......Gee, that's just swell.
Keep in mind Trump likes to attack on Saturdays as the markets are closed.
The most probable result of the US attacking Iran, is Iran destroying Israel, and Israel using nuclear bombs on Iran. Then what?
Well Israel would be gone which would be a plus for the world. They are lunatics. It was always a matter of how many they took with them and how much blood they would spill.
The Judge has completely folded.
