In this video, Professor Jeffrey Sachs discusses the current tensions between the United States and Iran, arguing that the situation is a sign of decadent American hegemony (0:00 - 1:05). Sachs characterizes Donald Trump's recent statements as potentially delusional or confabulated, noting that Trump claimed constructive talks occurred when the Iranians reported none took place (1:11 - 1:55).

Key Points Discussed:

Trump's Mental State: Sachs suggests that Trump's erratic behavior and lies may stem from underlying pathology or cognitive decline, making the situation unpredictable (1:58 - 3:55).

Escalation vs. Diplomacy: Despite talks of a breakthrough, US Marines are moving toward the region, indicating a likely escalation rather than a peaceful resolution (6:18 - 8:05).

Lack of Competence: Sachs criticizes the general quality of US governance and foreign policy, describing it as devoid of serious planning, analytical thought, or long-term strategy (11:04 - 15:58).

Comparison with China: He contrasts the haphazard US approach with China's highly planned and collaborative governance model (12:00 - 13:20).

Subservient Europe: Sachs argues that European leaders are largely failing to act independently, instead following American foreign policy even when it is irrational (19:33 - 22:31).

Potential Offramp: Sachs believes the only hope for avoiding a larger war is for other great powers—specifically India, China, and Russia—to unite and force the US to stop its aggressive stance (27:35 - 28:50).

There are two kinds of people here actually more than that there are a variety of people and groups.

But both are there the ones who are very much loyal to the regime and they're not few at all and also the ones who want regime change and they're also a lot.

Yes there are also lots of people who are not pro regime but are behind their country and anti war so right now they are you could say behind the regime for their country.

But if I could say most of the people want regime change as they wanted it before the war too.

I guess the regime will gain a points of legitimacy. I'm trying to understand the logic of the US and Israel. What do they hope to achieve with this? It's childish to say they're mentally deficient; there's intelligence and strategy behind their actions. But I don't understand it.

Trump seems seriously mentally deteriorating; he seems like a 12-year-old. I doubt Trump has made any decisions about this war. They let him make minor decisions and make him believe he's the great president. It's pathetic.

And what the Marines will do? Suicide? Nowadays with drones any invasion is a hell, we can see it in Ukraine. J guess that they are going to put some pressure

Maybe there is and he doesn't understand it. For Sachs everything is very simple, he's totally one tendency, no nuances

Let's see how it ends. Really I don't understand it, but maybe they saw absolutely necessary to get low the military capacity of irán, destroying factories and weaponry. The Iranians will always say that this doesn't make them weaker, while the Americans claim to have destroyed 99.9% of Iran's offensive capabilities, so it's impossible to know.

The fact is that Iran is an aggressive country. We'll see how the situation stands after the war; judging it now, as Sachs did, seems premature to me.

Meanwhile while everyone is distracted by the war, Israel does this thanks to the continued support of people like breakingthewall

@Raze disgusting. 
 

it’s crazy how most of Israeli society are pro this war whilst the population of thejr main backers are against it - poetic really.

The world is going to be even more enraged with Israel if the perception remains that they were the sole cause of this war - and the world has to suffer in recession, inflation etc for it.

The gulf are angry - though UAE seems to be pushing itself as a frontline state against Iran - a bit like a Taiwan or Ukraine but on a way smaller scale.

Apparently extra troops get to ME tomorrow so if there is to be some ground invasion it could be this weekend or in the next week possibly. Maybe they’ll try something else (air campaign heavy bombing) before committing to that.

This guys been shared before but this new podcast was very good;

Joe Kent  is a former U.S. Army Special Forces veteran who recently resigned as the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in March 2026.   His resignation is significant as he became the highest-profile official to leave the administration of President Donald Trump in protest of the war in Iran.  Kent resigned on March 17, 2026, stating he could no longer support the ongoing conflict. In a public resignation letter posted on X (formerly Twitter), he made several key assertions: 

No Imminent Threat: He claimed that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation".

Foreign Influence: He alleged the U.S. was pressured into the war by "Israel and its powerful American lobby".

Military Experience: As a veteran of 11 combat tours and a Gold Star husband, he stated he could not support sending a new generation to a "manufactured" war. 

Here is a video, where Joe Kent is being interviewed live where he discusses his reasons for leaving in detail.

The video states that Israel "really forced our hand" and that the speaker has a "major issue with a foreign country dictating the foreign policy" (1:52 - 1:55). The speaker claims that pro-Israel members of the media, think tanks, and the AIPAC lobby helped drive the US into war (3:39 - 3:48)

It's not crazy, it's normal. Israelites are pro this war because they fear Iran, Europeans and most of Americans are not pro this war because they don't fear Iran, they fear the possible economic collapse that this war can provoke.

Where do you see the mystery? Ask the Saudis, Emirates,morroco, even turkey. They will say that they are against, if iran regime endures, but pro war if it falls. Well maybe they wouldn't say it, but they think it. 

Btw, Putin has said that the conflict will probably finish in 3 weeks, i think he's a better source than Sachs and other pessimistic.

Anyway, You should understand the situation. You're a Muslim living in London, right? What do you think of Tommy Robinson saying that Muslims in England should disappear? Would you like Tommy Robinson to be strengthened or weakened? Well, the same thing happens to the Israelis with Iran.

Usually you don’t want to war if your on the receiving end of the pain though, unless your literally occupied or invaded hence Ukraine fought back with determination.

The threat of Iran has been amplified to such a degree even though they negotiated the JCPOA which Trump tore up. They were negotiating and conceding even more on nukes this year before they got attacked again.

They only retaliated after being hit first by Israel - the first time they staged a retaliatory strike with coordination and warning simply to establish deterrance and no lives lost. Even though they’ve had constant decapitation hits on scientists or general soleimani for example.They’ve been under crippling sanctions as well.

Considering all that they’ve been restrained up till now - and now don’t want a simple ceasefire without changing the balance of power in the region as to not have constant mowing of the lawn type repeats year after year.

Beyond nukes - the other two issues are proxies and missiles. The proxies emerged from Israel’s own occupation of Palestinians - Hamas internal and Hezbollah to the North. Of course Iran would support them to gain an asymmetric advantage through strategic depth around the adversary who wants you destroyed - because that’s all it has as deterrence - totally rational from a survival aspect.

Being asked to drop those two would be suicide. The proxy network less so and is probably reasonable to demand - but the missiles is a red line as that’s really all they have as a deterrance - they’d be sitting ducks without it and barely have a airforce of their own.

The gulf countries didn’t have a choice but to give up some sovereignty for protection because they have vulnerable geographies and small populations / armies. So they made the bargain - be under US security umbrella and give up autonomy due to lack of hard power. They’ve just tried using financial leverage to influence the US as much as possible - and they still got suckered into their patrons geopolitics and are suffering for it.

Iran is different due to its strengths - population size, geography like a fortress, military etc. so they don’t want to submit to the US system on unfavourable terms - they have the aged power to say no and the history of empires suffocating them to want a end to that.

There’s actually a divide amongst Muslims and people in general on Iran/GCC. Some view Iran as expansionist and bad, others as heroics. People view GCC as either peaceful pragmatic nation builders or sell outs to the West. But the truth is their postures are downstream from their position - whether they’re inside the system (GCC) or outside it trying to get sucked in as subordinate (Iran). And GCC didn’t have much choice so shouldn’t be judged to that degree. It’s simply real politik and trying to survive based on the cards you got.

 

 

Much of this stems from Israel’s initial sin of occupying and dominating Palestinians - and wanting to secure itself in maximalist terms by fracturing the region including the last defiant state (Iran). That lead to resistant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah which is literally a militia within Lebanon rivalling its own army. US aligns with Israels ME interests for its own reasons of empire (petro dollar / critical trade corridor).

All this cluster fuck is because one traumatised group of people persecuted by Westerners, wanted a safe homeland and went to all lengths to get it, displacing native people on that land - and now needing to dominate them till this day in order to maintain it.

That caused a spillover effect onto an angered region. Jews who are already highly sensitive to threats due to past trauma - based their sense of security on domination that only entrenches more insecurity. And because the same empire that enabled Zioland also wants control of the strategic heartland of Eurasia - they both imperially mess up the region.

@zazen

It seems you don't understand that Iran has no connection whatsoever with Israel or the Palestinians.

The Iranian obsession with Israel's disappearance is a tool for legitimizing an oppressive, dictatorial regime. You've bought into that narrative, but the Palestinians matter to the Iranians about as much as the Chechens did when Russia was bombing them. It's a scam perpetrated by the ayatollahs to legitimize their expansionist power.

[zazen]

@Breakingthewall No doubt they use it for legitimacy. But doesn’t erase the material reality of a security dilemma being there (between Israel/Iran) - and an imperial hegemon with its junior partner wanting to contain you.

Just like how Venezuela or Cuba pose no threat to America yet their being strangled too.

Iran was also against apartheid South Africa - even though apartheid South Africa wasn’t threatening Iran in any way - but countries can still have certain stands simply if seen as the right thing to do, independent of power games or security issues.

.

It's not the same as shouting "Death to Israel" in schools and in Congress for 50 years while simultaneously promoting an ultra-advanced missile program and funding three armed groups that surround Israel and bomb it regularly, not to talk about nukes.

If they did that to South Africa, South Africans would be upset too. But if you prefer to twist the reality, it's your choice

That's a blow to the Revolutionary Guard, but only to a certain extent. First, they can't surrender; it would mean death or life imprisonment. They will fight to the death.

Second, their strategy is decentralized and simple: launch missiles. The big job was organizing this structure, but now launching them and ruining the world economy is easy; if one commander dies, another replaces him. 

But killing those commander is a motivation for the next commander to reach an agreement. They are rich, the owners of irán, like kings. They prefer life than death, so if they can stay in the power, they will accept an agreement that doesn't shows them too obvious as losers, but not so rigid and impossible than they are saying now
