COL. Lawrence Wilkerson : Is Trump Considering Nuclear?

Mossad likely orchestrated a false flag to terrify Trump into abandoning Iran diplomacy, and he accepted their claims over the CIA's assessment.

Trump's statements are short-sighted, lack foresight, and damage America's power; his words should not be relied upon.

China leads in renewables, energy, and technology, and plans to replace the dollar with a currency basket in commodity exchanges to eliminate U.S. sanctions.

India may eventually join the eastward power shift if convinced its economic future is brighter, potentially teaming up with China.

Trump is mentally degraded, as indicated by emails from psychiatric professionals, and his inner circle cannot oppose him due to vested interests.

Trump is mentally degraded and has no off-ramp from the Iran situation besides declaring victory.

Israel is killing civilians in Gaza and planning to sell land in the West Bank, with an internal security official advocating nightly targeted killings.

Israel should carry out targeted killings in Gaza every night, removing people who pose no immediate threat because they shouldn't be alive.

The Pentagon would stop Trump from using nuclear weapons in Iran due to his mental degradation, but Netanyahu would use one to save his premiership with no internal opposition.

Israel fired a missile at the UAE as a false flag, not Iran.

Any event appearing counterproductive to Iran's interests would likely be orchestrated by Israel.

Hegseth remains in his role due to sycophancy despite heavy drinking and incompetence, and Trump's administration lacks rational decision-making.

A profound domestic crisis will force U.S. retrenchment, overshadowing the Iran war, while Japan and Ukraine face economic instability from U.S. policies.
