Hi Larry,

Your latest piece omits the impact of China.’s ban on rare earth magnets that impact on the Murderous, Apartheid, Genocide, Terrorist, Oppressor, Sanctuary provider for all sexual deviants especially pedophiles, purveyors of Sodomy and Rape both men and woman especially Palestinian prisoners …. Zionist States, ability to replenish Ground to Air Defensive missiles… for the now found out useless Davids Sling, Arrow, Iron Dome defensive system as well as the equally overhyped, oversold and useless U.S THAAD, AEGIS and PATRIOT missile Defense systems… the U.S’s systems found wanting against Saddam’s SCUDS, failed in Saudi, found out in that corrupted Bandera CIA, Nuland - Pyatt and MI6 Constructed Nazi Shithole State of Ukraine…. now found out and exposed in the aforementioned Zionist warmonger, terrorist State…. we are witnessing the end of the U.S MIC, no one in their right minds would pay to buy let alone rely on such junk for defence…. about bloody time, funny thing is, they did it to themselves… their oft repeated trope and hubris well and truly has bitten them, U.S, West and NATO arms manufacturers fair in the “ring” (kiwi slang)… read arse….just saying

Kia Kaha (Stay strong) from New Zealand

Thanks for that Larry,

I realise that the above is a calculated assessment based on the most recent information, but it made me feel better anyway. Loved the prognosis.

There's nothing I'd like better than to see The Empire get a good kick in the chestnuts - to borrow from Prof. M.

This was all theater. Period. Iran had emptied EVERY SITE BOMBED BY THE US LONG BEFORE WE “ATTACKED” Them. What a waste!! Honest to G-D if DJT gets us into this conflict I WILL PERSONALLY VOTE TO IMPEACH HIM! In the past few months I have gone from being a somewhat cautious supporter of DJT to completely opposed to ANYTHING he’s done-except the Border and now he’s FAILING ON THAT FRONT TOO!! I AM SO SICK OF GETTING JOHN MCCAIN EVERY TIME I VOTE!!!😡🤬😡🤬😡

Calling BS on any assertion that Trump acted within the bounds of his authority as authorized by the US Congressional War Powers Act of 1973 and UN Article 51, To wit:

The 1973 resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution. It provides that the president can send the U.S. Armed Forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization", or in case of "a national emergency created by an ATTACK upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces".

This is consistent with Article 51 of the UN Charter, the key phrase being that preemptive strikes are authorized if ATTACKED and there is no time to refer to UN Security Council for deliberation.

Trump is attempting to infer that he has such powers for such preemptive strikes given it’s a “Threat to National Security”

and thereby authorized, which is bogus.

His actions clearly in violation of International Law, the U.S. Constitution, and were in fact a war of aggression..

Makes me sick that the Democrats are condemning the attack when the planning was carried out during Biden era. Just shows Democrat or Republican - crazies the lot of them. Let's hope the good Larry Johnson decides to stand as an independent.
