Regarding your optimism on the US-Iran "peace talks":

1) The US and Israel have a long history of conducting "negotiations" that they never intended to come to agreement on, of recent that includes both the fake negotiaitons with the Palestinians as well as the Istanbul dis-Agreements.

2) The Trump admin is currently purging what appears to be senior officials opposed to senseless war:

First at the start

And now moving further down the ranks

Is this about "leaks" or just a purge

3) Worse yet this week the Trump Admin recently appointed a senior national security official that is a dual Israeli-US citizen and has been a senion official at.....the ISRAELI....ministry of defence. Its discussed extensively by Jeffrey Sachs this weekened in his appearance on Judge Napolitano podcast. Both were stunned, Sachs said this is an obvious Israeli lobby influence in US politics - and Napolitano flat out suggested she is a mossad agent planted to ensure no agreement happens with Iran.

I'd say the peace talks are a dupe, and your news about bunker busters could be accurate. Who knows what kind of explosives are in there, and what exactly is planned. These are cold blooded butchers and I think you underestimate the level of crazy and corrupt that are combined here,

As per 3):

Trump’s NSC Director for Israel and Iran Previously Worked for Israeli Ministry of Defense; Ryan Grim; Drop Site News; 2025-04-21

We shall see where this goes. My current belief is that the Joint Chiefs will inform Trump of the consequences of an attack on Iran. If correct, we end up with a JCPOA v2.0.

It is irrelevant. The US sanctions regime will fail in the next few years. The rest of the world will just ignore it. See:

Worth watching the new Tucker Carlson interview of the fired Pentagon official Dan Caldwell. In that hour+ long conversation.....

Caldwell, clearly no progressie liberal, desicribes his strong opposition to needless war, founded in his experience as a veteran of the US's full scale invasion of Iraq, and recounts the human cost to military personnell in lost lives, lost limbs, divorce, mental health, suicide (by his account 20 people in his unit alone).

This he says is why he was opposed to the forces around the Trump admin hell bent on needlessly attacking Iran.

He describes this as a "Strong force, across both parties", that is hell bent on attacking Iran, and that they have no interest in nuclear weapons - only "regime change", wanting to install the son of the deceased Shah as a new puppet ruler! They definitelly they DONT want any nuclear deal - that would be counter to their objectives; regime change and puppet installed. So Syria again.

And these are the forces that outsted him from the Pentagon. He says he aint no leaker.

So yeah, israeli lobby in action here purging the pentagon of anyone who can stop the Israeli govt from sticking its hand up the US govt's rear end and making it dance, is my take on it.

Thank you Kojo.

It looked like a Zionist orchestrated purge to me.

Carlson is continuing to provide important interviews. Well done him.
