Le président des États-Unis a de nouveau critiqué, ce 17 avril, la posture adoptée par ses alliés de l'OTAN durant la guerre américano-israélienne contre l'Iran. Emmanuel Macron a, de son côté, annoncé "renforcer l'accélération" des "travaux" visant à mettre en place une mission d'escorte dans le détroit d'Ormuz.

Selon cet universitaire russe, l'Iran subit des dommages considérables au niveau de son industrie et de son économie, tout en faisant preuve d'une grande résilience.
Malgré le rôle de premier plan joué par le Pakistan dans les efforts de médiation diplomatique entre les États-Unis et l'Iran, la Russie semble également exercer une influence notable en coulisses.

Une caractéristique commune de la propagande impériale occidentale est qu'on nous donne toujours des raisons pour justifier la violence de l'empire, tandis que la violence de ceux qui lui résistent est généralement présentée comme totalement injustifiée.
On nous a tous donné des raisons pour la guerre américano-israélienne contre l'Iran, et nous les connaissons tous.

Vendredi matin, le principal Démocrate de la commission judiciaire de la Chambre des représentants a annoncé l'ouverture d'une enquête "approfondie" sur les allégations d'enrichissement personnel de Jared Kushner, le gendre du président américain Donald Trump, qui a occupé le poste très en vue d'envoyé de la Maison Blanche au Moyen-Ori

Beaucoup d'Américains commencent à accepter, d'après ce qui sort de la bouche du président Donald Trump et ce qu'il écrit sur son site Truth Social, que le chef d'État américain est fou. Larry Johnson rapporte "des détails choquants de ce qui se passe en coulisses à la Maison-Blanche [où] Donald Trump a commencé à montrer des signes de démence précoce en septembre 2025... Il improvise fréquemment, il perd régulièrement son sang-froid et se lance dans des cris de diatribes, et il est incapable de penser de façon critique.
Violence is not always justified, but there is always a reason why it happens. Western pundits, politicians and newscasters will very seldom tell you what those reasons are unless it advances the interests of the western empire.

One common feature of western empire propaganda is that we are always given reasons for the empire's violence, while the violence of those who resist the empire tends to be framed as happening for no reason at all.

The night before l voted against going to war in Iraq, my sister, Beverly, told me that a Knoxville television station had run a poll and found that in East Tennessee, 74 percent were in favor of going to war, 9 percent were against it, and 17 percent were undecided.
In very sharp contrast, the New York Times said only 41 percent favored going to war in Iran, and several polls showed even less support, in the 20-30 percent range, before the war started.

On April 15, Americans face the deadline for sending to the federal Internal Revenue Service a report on all their income. Most Americans do this because failure to do so is likely to result in fines and possibly imprisonment. If one obstinately resists this, of course, one will find himself subject to deadly force from state agents.
For most people, however, tax day isn't about taxes of all kinds.

Le Pentagone a engagé des discussions avec General Motors, Ford et d'autres groupes industriels pour mobiliser leurs capacités civiles au service de la production militaire. Selon le Wall Street Journal, cette orientation traduit les grandes tensions sur les stocks américains après ses livraisons à l'Ukraine et l'escalade militaire contre l'Iran.

Pete Hegseth, secrétaire américain à la Guerre
Les démocrates américains préparent une offensive politique contre le chef du Pentagone, accusé de multiples violations graves, allant du déclenchement d'une guerre illégale à l'abus de pouvoir. Fondée sur six chefs d'accusation, la procédure vise Pete Hegseth, mais a peu de chances d'aboutir dans un Congrès contrôlé par les républicains.

Lebanon now is the main theatre, and the game that Israel is playing there is incredibly risky for Netanyahu and Trump.
The failed talks between the U.S. and Iran surprised no one. But what is surprising is how there seems to be no safety catch on Trump's foreign policy. Except Lebanon.
What did we just witness when the talks between the U.S. and Iran failed ? For many, the whole show was as surreal as it was disingenuous.

The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone - the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized men.

Walter E. Williams often made the point that a policy should be judged by whether it works, not by its good intentions. This warning is especially important because politicians are experts at declaring good intentions. If we judge them by their stated intentions alone, when their schemes end in disaster they could simply remind us that they meant well.

One week after posting a profanity-laced Easter message threatening to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, Donald J. Trump, the 47th president of the United States, spent the night of April 12 and into the early morning hours unleashing a barrage of AI-generated images, threats and insults.

Congress is gambling that most of the People are Sunshine Patriots who are brainwashed, ignorant, apathetic, and freeloaders. They are correct at this instant in time, but that can change in a heartbeat when living conditions deteriorate further.
Anyone who does not know that our economy is on the brink of collapse is an Economic Illiterate. A great majority of the People elected President Trump on a platform of "America-First" but he is practicing Zionist, "Israel-First".

If you set aside your logic and rational thought and listen instead to what Donald Trump and his media echo chamber is saying about the war with Iran you are hearing this:
The US has wiped out Iran's military capabilities.
The nuclear program is obliterated.
Iran's economy is shattered and it is looking for a way to be reintegrated into the global economy.
The man is always negotiating.

Eminently quotable writer James Howard Kunstler sized up President Trump's play in Iran a couple months back by concluding, "The art of the deal is not for sissies." That line aptly describes Trump's whole presidency, doesn't it?
Trump makes moves that scare people. Even his friends and allies require an occasional pause to digest exactly what he may or may not be planning.
