Found on an Iranian Telegram. Let me know your thoughts.


"As for people betting "Trump" won't use nuclear weapons - they still don't get "Trump" isn't in charge of anything.

This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently.

The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!!

They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.

DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.

This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.

The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.

It wasn't "Clinton," "Bush," or "Obama's" wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.

If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."

I think it's possible that Trump will use nukes - what else could defeat Iran's mountain fortifications? There is no larger explosion than a nuke, so perhaps a ground penetrating weapon with a nuclear warhead will be used to destroy Iran's deepest missile bases? Otherwise Iran will be able to launch missiles for several more weeks.

A lot more than weeks. They can do this indefinitely.
