As toxic black rain falls on Tehran and medical facilities, water desalination plants and medical facilities burn,

Donald Trump is seriously considering sending American troops to invade Iran, having catastrophically failed in a war he thought would be over in days.

We're going to talk about this latest stage in a war, which will prove to be a disaster of historic proportions for the United States.

We'll discuss the grotesque lies.

Trump has been disseminating as well as the crimes being committed by the aggressors,

how Trump has admitted what he really wants in Iran,

how leaked US intelligence reports have destroyed whatever strategy the Trump administration had,

how the Israeli intelligence services helped coach a Republican senator to convince Trump to go to war with Iran, among other things.

Let's just start with the threat of US troops going to Iran.

Now, first of all, NBC have a story headline,

Trump has privately shown serious interest in US ground troops in Iran.

It says this report, he's discussed deploying ground troops

with his aides and Republican officials, which is part of a strategy of establishing a new Iranian regime, which will cooperate on oil production similar to how the US and Venezuela are.

Just so we're clear, this is absurd, Orwellian, euphemistic language.

The colonial setup which the US has established with Venezuela is where a gun

is de facto placed to the head of the government, to the regime as a whole, whatever you want to call it,

with a deal that if the government does as it is told, then the US will not shoot. It is a fantasy

to believe such a colonial arrangement can be established with Iran,

with every analyst who knows what they're talking about,

pointing out that no such so-called deal could possibly emerge from within the ruling system in Iran.

Now, there's a big caveat, which I'm going to interrogate,

because the word that immediately springs to mind is Quagmire.
