Ken Klippenstein's "Iran War" (substack.evancarroll.com)

An analysis of the emerging "Trump is at war with Iran" frame contextualizing three articles by Ken Klippenstein. It's my view that this frame is a mere attempt for Democrats to reframe themselves as war-adverse peaceniks against a background of Trump which they pretend is exceptional and unique. And to do this after their own brutal reign of genocide, without ever addressing the genocide.

Democrats are beholden to other lobbies than solely Israel. It is less likely they are willing to start a war with Iran for the sole reason that Iran can blow up all the oil in the region.

The way that Trump has been dismantling every US soft power institution lately does indicate he might just be stupid enough to follow Netanyahu's orders, and wreck the global economy. And probably end the American hegemony with it.
