The Conversation: No US president in living memory has gone to war with less public support than Donald Trump has for the war in Iran. Even Barack Obama’s much-maligned Libyan intervention began with 60% of Americans in support in 2011. There is no poll that shows a majority of Americans supporting the Iran war, and multiple polls showing clear majorities against it. And wars usually lose public support as they go on.

Fascinating and most informing article by Alexander Dugin who “argues that Zionism is Judaism’s heretical rebellion where Jews declare themselves God, seize the Holy Land by force, and plunge tradition into apocalyptic upheaval.” Quote from article “Zionists no longer wait for the Mashiach—they themselves are the Mashiach, and therefore there is no one and nothing left to wait for. All that remains is to rely on their own strength and their own global networks to assert world domination and build their Israeli state, disregarding the local population or any other costs.”
