I certainly hope that your analysis is correct. While it is certainly logical, the madmen running both Israel and the US are too frequently immune to logic and common sense.
You demand citations, where in the first place you fail to even pretend to have any factual information about the attitudes of Jews outside of Israel on various issues, but resort to only racist epithets “Jew is Jew” sounding like a typical Nazi to support your biases and delusions as facts! Good job! Your statement and style of expression are reminiscent of Heinrich Himmler himself!
John LeCarré: “God appointed America to save the world in any way that suits America. God appointed Israel to be the nexus of America’s Middle Eastern policy and anyone who wants to mess with that idea is a) anti-Semitic, b) anti-American, c) with the enemy, and d) a terrorist.”
It’s too early to claim victory over Israel.
Let's see some Bomb Damage Videos.
Let's see some more attacks to conclusively degrade Israeli air defences.
Above all, let the Muslim world unite in resistance, in well-considered attacks, in victory.
Let Palestine live.
Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub (Saladin): “I warn you against shedding blood, indulging in it and making a habit of it, for blood never sleeps.”
Israel's attacks on Palestinians are intended as lessons for the Global South,
if they weren't paying attention to Biden's Ukrainian Genocide.
Washington is stating that our allies will commit any crime, and we will support them to the end, even in genocide.
Senior G7 diplomat (Newsweek, Oct 2023): “We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South. All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
I would not be so optimistic. Would love to read an analysis of what was really hit. Israelis mirror the Ukrainians with their 99% story and deny that the attack had any success.
I am also much less optimistic. The fact that 90 % of the missiles were shot down and Israel had full assistance of the US, UK and even of Jordan(!) would be telling Netanyahu that can do as he pleases and launch a fierce retaliatory attack on Iran, which in turn would start the grand escalation he wants... We'll see...
even grander escalation?...Times of India reported that Putin just said that Russia would assist Iran if the US attacks on behalf of Israel... Is it true? Also, there are reports that two Israeli military bases were hit with hypersonic missiles leaving some 40 soldiers dead, true?
Stop cheering genocide. Supremacist Ethnostate Israel is an apartheid cancer to the world, and an albatross around the neck of American citizens. You IsraelFirst Zionist have a chokehold on our government and media. This will change. Because it has to. Well, anyway, go America 🇺🇸
Listen to Alastair Crooke on Judging Freedom on this. He explains that the drones were cheap as chips, slow drones. They took 3.5 hours to get from launch to Israel. They were launched so they would be shot down, thus giving Iran a pinpoint of Israeli defence launch pads and the map of their defence structures. Alastair states that Iran got a huge amount of knowledge of the Zionists defence pattern from them. And they launched bigger, faster missiles to certain military targets, which they successfully took out. The drones were launched so they would be shot down - that was their purpose.
And apparently while not properly armed they carried dummy bomblets. Chaff in the old parlance upgraded for modern warfare. Next time some of the other stuff will be dummies and others real so Israel has to hit everything. That is the game theory stuff.
It’s not the damage that matters, simply the fact that they got through. If a dozen out of 300 got through, then what happens if Iran fires thousands? In that case hundreds of missiles get through, probably more. Especially as air defenses run out of ammunition. Iran could fire 200 missiles a day for 50-100 days straight. So yes, credible deterrence. And yes, that applies to US bases in the ME. It’s not the amount of damage that matters, but the fact of the arrival.
Exactly this. And in a true exchange, with many more drones and missiles, anti-missile defense would be used up long before the missile barrage ended. This wasn’t an attack, it was a message.
This far more lucid account of the attack is more probable than the mainstream media's account that 99% of the missiles fired were shot down, mostly before they reached Israel, with no credible damage done.
You could say so when you think where all those Judaism 'converted' Khazarians from Ukraine/Crimea have gone.
The Khazars were originally semi-nomadic Mongolians and Turks who occupied much of the southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea, and Kazakhstan from 6-11. century and "converted" to Judaism in the 8th century, and todays calling themselves European Jews and Abrahamic Bloodline/Israelites descendant Jews, which they are not.
The real Abrahamic Bloodline/Israelites descendant Jews are today only about 2,5% of all jews globally.
Khazars, those fake jews main enemy is Christianity, because they hate Jesus Christ, and frankly they hate everyone who's not one of them.
With the unofficial support of the Byzantines, who were beginning to see the Khazar's kingdom/empire called Khaganate as a threat, the Russians launched several attacks on the Khazars finally destroying the power of the Khaganate by the late 960s with the Khazar limestone fortresses of Sarkel and Tamatarkha falling in 965 and the Empire's capital Atil being destroyed around 969, so complete was the loot of the city by the Russians that a contemporary wrote “no grape or raisin remained, not a leaf on a branch”
SO AGAIN, WHERE DID THOSE KHAZARS WENT, AND DON'T SAY THEY JUST 'DISAPPEARED' ?
You are mistaken in believing that Biden has suddenly developed a conscience, Scott. He is a demented war criminal through and through. He just cares about poll numbers and the upcoming election. His morality is strictly statistics-driven. There is no there there.
I fail to see where Scott said or implied that Biden "has developed a conscience". Biden's "conscience" consists of his desire to get re-elected while assuaging the Israel lobby, his paymasters. This requires a show of putting distance between himself and Israel, which is all Scott was talking about.
Could not agree with you more, Carolyn. He's a slightly less ignorant and stupid, while substantially more pugnacious version of GWBush. Also, clearly lacks the intelligence to present the kind of sleek, insidious deception of Obama he signifies the depletion of the Deep State's tool-kit for maintaining the US Democracy charade.
Yes 'Thomas', you have it true, and "arsehole" is the kindest word. However, a Psychopath is someone who can inflict pain, suffering, injury, even death without empathy, compassion or remorse. The psychopath needs to criminalise and dehumanise others, in order to compensate their own deficiency. There are many others who, like you and I, understand this and about how power corrupts - but there are countless others, beguiled by the "trueman" world of illusion, thought all was well - until now! Be eternally grateful to Hamas, those brave heroes who broke through or flew over the fence of their containment and fought back or their dignity and freedom, far more courageous than me and perhaps more than many others, to exercise their right to resist a brutal, racist, psychopathic occupation. For all the Western world owes them the greatest appreciation for exposing, in full sunlight, for all the world to see, just how psychotic, debauched and deranged are the perverse club of powerful degenerates who hold the levers of Western Power. The foul stench is out, all the sleepers are awake and the reality can never again be concealed, they no longer have the tools of deception, only of brutal, violent oppression, which have always failed. Their game is over, their days are numbered. THANK YOU HAMAS. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU .
"As fer these 'ere "psychopaths", they bee human too & worthy of God's considerin "
The Authors of the Biblical Stories scripted the character of their God.
I don't think they were the last word on spiritualism but their God incinerated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned Lott's wife to a pillar of salt because she looked back.
I can estimate God's considerin of "these 'ere "psychopaths".
My theory is that this fireworks display was Iran's free home demonstration that Iran is perfectly capable of hitting the Zionists with missiles that would wipe them off the map. Like Zionists used "knocking on the roof" as a warning to Gazans, Iran is warning Zionists that it will be "The fire next time" -- and to back off from slaughtering more folks in West Asia. https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-free-home-demonstration-by-iran.html
It would be nice to see where Scott heard Biden or anyone in his administration, try to disengage with Israel. There are lots of videos of Biden declaring how the USA will defend Israel.
While it is recognized that the Biden Administration often lies, the MSM isn't reporting anything like what Scott mentions here. Neither the disengagement nor the success of the Iran attack.
Ben Norton provides many examples of the West lying about the attacks on Iran.
Trouble is, I'm beginning to wonder just how far down the Rabbit Hole have I gone.
If it weren't for Brian Berletic and his constant analysis of MSM articles and Think Tank papers I'd wonder even more. Berletic is absolutely the best in providing detailed analysis and back up of his story with dozens of references.
I certainly hope that your analysis is correct. While it is certainly logical, the madmen running both Israel and the US are too frequently immune to logic and common sense.
Not madmen. Jews.
Don't you mean Zionists?
90% of Jews support the genocide of the Palestinians. So, the Jew and Zionists are one and the same.
True in the case of Israel proper. But, definitely not the case among diaspora Jewish populations including in the US.
Citation needed. The Jew is the Jew. Why do you feel the need to defend these chicken swingers ?
You demand citations, where in the first place you fail to even pretend to have any factual information about the attitudes of Jews outside of Israel on various issues, but resort to only racist epithets “Jew is Jew” sounding like a typical Nazi to support your biases and delusions as facts! Good job! Your statement and style of expression are reminiscent of Heinrich Himmler himself!
90% of the Israeli Zionist Jews do. Torah Jews who live in the diaspora have not, as far as I am aware, been polled.
This is a lie that every Zionist keeps trying to propagate. More than half of the Jewish population are anti-Zionists.
That’s not true
Wat's the difference ? It has one name, KHAZARS

Too true.
The US has tried—unsuccessfully—to take the keys out of the ignition of Netanyahu’s suicide bus ride.
This is ridiculous.
Just cut off all weapons and the money supply and that illegal criminal hq of the Jew will cease to exist.
But the Jews who run the USA will never cut off the Jews who run occupied Palestine.
Why should white Christian people in USA fund free healthcare free schools, food and fuel for the Jew that spits on and kills Christians
Fortunately the goyim seem to be waking up.
I admire your optimism but I see the public as brainwashed and brain dead as ever. I hope I am wrong.
Couldn't agree more! Ritter either buys into the Zionazi-American BS, or he's toking some heavy shit.
Fabulous piece. Iran clearly plays chess much better than the Israeli's. Let's hope Bolton and Gallant get drowned out.
Scott, thanks for this analysis. Its depth is amazing. I so appreciate your work.
I would not be so optimistic. Would love to read an analysis of what was really hit. Israelis mirror the Ukrainians with their 99% story and deny that the attack had any success.

in more diplomatic wordings, according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova: "....Moscow will not condemn Iran's retaliatory attack..." - https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--never-condemned-ukrainian-strikes-on-russia--moscow
in the coming days we'll probably see more outspoken and more international reactions. crazy times!
What is wrong with Russia?! Why are they buddies with the Jihadi Johnnies of Teheran?
Well, anyway, go Israel. 🇮🇱
Stop cheering genocide. Supremacist Ethnostate Israel is an apartheid cancer to the world, and an albatross around the neck of American citizens. You IsraelFirst Zionist have a chokehold on our government and media. This will change. Because it has to. Well, anyway, go America 🇺🇸
Yes, go Israel -- straight to hell.
Aww, dude! Bess Israel, and you shall be blessed. Curse them, and you'll be cursed.
Says who? I'll take my chances. The world would be a much more peaceful and prosperous place if Israel never existed.
The real Israel. Not the military base that stole its name and started calling itself a country.
"What is wrong with Russia?" What is wrong with Russia is that they are not in the circle that obey you.
What a shame! I'd love to live in a country that works.

IT'S UKRAINE REPORTING BS
You think Israel and the Ukraine are the same country?
You could say so when you think where all those Judaism 'converted' Khazarians from Ukraine/Crimea have gone.

SO AGAIN, WHERE DID THOSE KHAZARS WENT, AND DON'T SAY THEY JUST 'DISAPPEARED' ?
Have you never heard of the Khazarian diaspora?
What I like to hear is all Khazarian bloodlines be eliminated from planet Earth.
It's a script that successfully propagandized most Ukrainians who were not near the front to see things for themselves.
You are geopolitically challenged as well?
Are you dyslexic? A script as a template for any administration in any country. Standard Operating Procedure, especially during such conflicts.
I'd rather be dyslexic than as stupid as you appear to be, assuming that you aren't high on a psychedelic drug of some kind.

thank you Scott for this Update
Great commentary.
Thank you Mr. Ritter.

Reap what HE has Sown.
Excellent piece , it would be good to know more about the damages on the Israeli airports and military bases
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

sigh--- read Axios-- Biden told Bibi he will not participate. Look at actions not words-- geez
Why should I believe Axios? Why don't you provide a link if you know the story?
Axios is not a site that I support.
it's very biased (thus more of a gatekeeper). Zerohedge is better.
Thank you Scott Ritter for a perspective that is utterly invisible in the criminally culpable Western Media.
It appears that Iran has out- manuevered Israel.
It successfully struck back at Israel for its criminal attack against its embassy in Damascus, and kept the US out of the fray. Bravo!
