Much of my August 15th “Depopulation Countdown” exposé, that includes use of the word “nuclear” 21 times, heavily emphasizes that America’s Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump, growing so desperate for a strategic way out of the Middle East war he started, is within a few days or a week very likely to bomb Iran with tactical nuclear weapons. This August 18th update article is now presenting the overwhelming evidence of the strong likelihood that an imminent US nuclear attack will occur at any moment. Not only am I near certain of this reality, but fellow West Point graduate-former Green Beret officer turned outspoken geopolitics critic, Ret. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar in an hourlong interview yesterday August 17th, also expounded on this exact same conclusion.
Trump is intent on deploying a tactical nuclear weapon in a face-saving, futile attempt to destroy Iran’s nuclear facility underneath Pickaxe Mountain. Lt. Col. Aguilar stated that regardless of the nuclear warhead America uses, Iran’s underground facilities deeply embedded under mountains will not successfully penetrate and destroy Iran’s nuclear sites. Ever-astute journalist Mike Adams, along with numerous other news sites, has also been quick to pick up on this most alarming matter, posting an August 17th piece entitled “Trump Is Reportedly Considering Nuclear War with Iran — and We’re All in the Crosshairs.” It turns out that the now ex-Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted also on August 17th this very same urgent warning on x.com:
They [the Trump administration] are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.
When insider and now ex-Trump MAGA supporter MJT unloads this bombshell, trying to alert the world to what’s now critically at stake, astute people everywhere should be paying attention to how close we all are to that slippery sloped edge of the nuclear cliff the human race is now precariously teetering on.
Of course, within hours the current White House that will go down as the most deceitful, corrupt, disastrous White House ever in all of US history, immediately tried refuting Marjorie’s statement:
In a statement to USA TODAY, the White House called her “Marjorie ‘Quitter’ Greene” and said she was “completely out of the loop” in response to her comments.
With the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding signed June 17th now as of Monday a shattered peace deal, last Friday August 14th, delusional Trump still trying to convince the world that the US controls the Strait having defeated Iran, wrote on Truth Social:
The Fake News Media hates to report how well the United States Military has done against Iran, which is totally defeated and wants a deal – But not a deal that I would accept!
Still committed to applying maximal pressure on Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” Trump continues insisting the US controls the Strait of Hormuz when the entire world knows it’s false. The world sees for itself that Tehran obviously is still in control. Yet on Monday August 17th, Trump restated his claim:
We control it with the blockade. And, I like the idea of declaring it a US territory. Just think it’s a great idea. I mean, we control it. We control it with the blockade.
No sooner does Orange Face repeat the bogus claim, another ship trying to transit the Strait gets its engine room blasted by “an unknown projectile” injuring at least one crewman. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi responded:
This strait will only be opened and closed under Iran’s command, and as long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in delusions, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade. Strait of Hormuz cannot be seized by tweet, nor by aircraft carrier, nor by issuing an order, nor by an election speech.
While two weeks ago Iran said Oman and Iran were in the final stage of negotiating an agreement on administrating all Hormuz Strait shipping navigation, on Monday August 17th in conversation with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst, Khazarian mafia don Trump said about US ally and peace mediator Oman:
If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them.
Again, never before has such a mafioso thug ever occupied the White House and damaged America’s reputation before the world as this masonic Chabad death cult genocidal accomplice puppet. Trump is showing his incapacity to cope with his job demands. On Sunday August 16th he wrote on Truth Social:
Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful.
As Trump dampens and sours another relationship with a longtime ally South Korea, on Monday August 17th after the annual joint exercises had already begun, touchy Trump lashed out in another tantrum at a press hearing against another female CNN reporter Kristen Holmes. She simply asked the totally legitimate, reasonable question that begs, if not demands an answer, asking if Trump canceled the joint US-South Korea military exercises due to his cordial relations with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. In a tirade he shut her down with repeated loud demands “be quiet!” Trump is holding a personal petty grudge against both female reporters asking uncomfortable questions as well as against allies like South Korea for refusing to back his insane war against Iran. Keep in mind also that Trump’s unconditional loyalty (or is it his pedo-blackmail?) to the evilest country on earth – Israel, had him in April 2025 pull THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems from South Korea shipped to Israel just two months prior to their unprovoked 12-day war against Iran last year.
Every single public appearance, and written and spoken statement is exposing Donald Trump’s madness as an increasing unstable danger and threat to all of humanity with his fixation to destroy Iran with nukes at the expense of both America and every life form inhabiting the earth. Again, it’s time for Vice President JD Vance to finally grow some balls and evoke the 25th Amendment. Last week Vance made the public statement emphatically emphasizing how the Trump administration’s #1 top priority was to keep the price of oil and gas down for Americans and #2 was ensuring Iran doesn’t develop nuclear weapons. So, what does Trump do? On Monday morning Trump contradicts and publicly embarrasses his VP, correcting him, restating his top priority is Iran never getting nukes.
The threat level of this earthshaking catastrophe of nuclear war waged against Iran has been around for some time, covered by solidly backed sources and real-world signs. As the grand finale of the 12-Day War in June 2025, the US bombed Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Ever since Trump has boasted every chance he gets how he singlehandedly eliminated Iran’s nuclear capability. Literally just hours ahead of those Trump ordered airstrikes last year on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, The New Republic ran the June 20th headline:
Trump White House Considers Dropping Nukes on Iran
So, we’ve been at this brink before. But never before has desperado Trump been out of options to end, much less “win” a war that he began against Iran under the persuasive dictates of Netanyahu and his Mossad Director David Barnea, who convinced him at the White House on February 11th to join Israel’s decapitation strike on February 28th because Iran’s authoritarian government was deemed most vulnerable with its failing economy and citizens ripe for change under the promise of “freedom and democracy.”
Moreover, according to the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), later approved by the U.S. Congress:
The [George W} Bush administration, in a secret policy review… [had] ordered the Pentagon to draft contingency plans for the use of nuclear weapons against at least seven countries, naming not only Russia and the “axis of evil” Iraq, Iran, and North Korea but also China, Libya and Syria.
So, the pre-emptive strike nuclear option doctrine’s been graphically spelled out in the nuclear option playbook since the mid-1990s by Washington’s warmongering policymakers, some of who I addressed in my last article. Noted journalist, author and analyst William Arkin’s March 2002 Los Angeles Times bombshell titled “Secret Plan Outline the Unthinkable,” explicitly exposing the NPR:
The U.S. Defense Department has been told to prepare for the possibility that nuclear weapons may be required in some future Arab-Israeli crisis. And, it is to develop plans for using nuclear weapons to retaliate against chemical or biological attacks, as well as “surprising military developments” of an unspecified nature. Like all such documents since the dawning of the Atomic Age more than a half-century ago, this NPR offers a chilling glimpse into the world of nuclear-war planners: With a Strangelovian genius, they cover every conceivable circumstance in which a president might wish to use nuclear weapons–planning in great detail for a war they hope never to wage, [including against non-nuclear nations].
My friend and editor at Global Research, Michel Chossudovsky, who gave me my start as a journalist a dozen years ago, wrote a chilling article 15 years ago entitled “Preparing to Attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons: “No Option can be taken off the Table.” An except spells out today’s jarring headlines:
The US and its allies are preparing to launch a nuclear war directed against Iran with devastating consequences… Iran is heralded as a threat to Israel and the World. The war on Iran has been on the drawing board of the Pentagon for more than eight years [i.e., since 2003]. In recent developments, a renewed set of threats and accusations directed against Tehran have been launched. A “war of stealth” has already commenced. Mossad intelligence operatives are on the ground. Covert paramilitary formations are being launched inside Iran, CIA drones are being deployed. Meanwhile, Washington. London, Brussels and Tel Aviv have launched specific destabilizing initiatives “to choke Iran diplomatically, financially and economically”.
Note how closely this provocation, word-for-word parallels the buildup of events in the 2026 Iran war. That’s because the playbook has been around for at least 30 years. Every other previous US president resisted the Zionist Jewish State’s pressure, until Chabad Jew Trump steeped in blackmail and bribery by his Zionist Jewish donors, owners and masters.
So, after near six-months stuck in an unwinnable lost war that’s been destroying Trump, his legacy, the nation and world, without sufficient conventional weapons to “finish the job,” having run out of options, Trump’s only plausible scheme left in his demented mind to claim victory is a limited tactical nuclear strike. It will mark America’s second time using nuclear weapons in back-to-back world wars, plotted over a century and a half ago by the same Illuminati Freemason elites as Zionist vs. Islam World War III, and first nuclear deployment since Truman’s Hiroshima-Nagasaki WWII ending in August 1945. It’s growing ominously closer as the loose cannon has gone full bonkers. Trump appears bent on using nukes as his only means of saving face and declaring victory. That it causes millions, perhaps billions to die matters little to psychopaths like Trump and his Satanic death cult masters.
Under the growing threat of full graphic exposure of Trump’s Epstein child sodomy ventures, as Netanyahu and City of London’s exclusive ace in the hole control, is blackmailing him to nuke Tehran. He appears to rapidly be moving towards that as his done deal. But if Trump somehow fails to follow through, leave it to Butcher’s Sampson option, possessing Luciferian delight to complying with his higher paygrade masters’ demands. Since Israel and the US are the false flag kingpins, and virtually all their wars are started with false flags, it may well be the excuse to launch a nuclear attack on Iran. Israel will resort to the lowest of the lowest to destroy America for the Greater Israel Project. After all, Rothschild Jewish State founders and their bloodline Satanic secret society friends have been worshipping Satan a very long time for their big bang blood sacrifice ritual not to happen. Going out this way falls perfectly on time and in line with humanity’s depopulation scheme, outlined in my August 15th post.
