class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Glenn Diesen\u2019s latest interview with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson has just been released, offering an extremely critical and alarming analysis of the conflict with Iran and the future of Israel.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">It\u2019s important to emphasize that Colonel Wilkerson has gained firsthand experience at the heart of American power: as a United States Army officer, professor, and later a key figure in military training, but above all as Colin Powell\u2019s chief of staff (2002\u20132005), and thus within the decision-making process during the Iraq war.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Trump\u2019s management and Netanyahu\u2019s influence \u2013 Wilkerson believes that President Trump is \u201cup to his neck\u201d in a crisis he doesn\u2019t know how to manage and that he is using the constant countdowns for the destruction of Iranian infrastructure simply to \u201cbuy time.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">According to the colonel, Trump was dragged into this position by Benjamin Netanyahu, who apparently has no sympathy for the American president and is willing to \u201ctake him to hell with him.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Criticism of US military strategy \u2013 Wilkerson calls the current military command\u2019s management the \u201cworst performance\u201d ever seen.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">He denounces the misuse of special operations forces (such as the Rangers and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment) in attempted quick strikes on islands in the Gulf, aiming to emulate what happened in Venezuela.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">He argues that there is no clear mission and that military leaders are wasting billions without results.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The possible collapse of Israel \u2013 One of the most powerful aspects of the interview is the prediction that Israel will disappear as a Jewish state in the Levant.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Lawrence Wilkerson: Israel Could Disappear and Launch a Nuclear Strike: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lawrence Wilkerson: Israel May Cease to Exist &amp; Launch Nuclear Strike\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XelyhraVOD8?feature=oembed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"392\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Wilkerson cites several signs of this impending collapse: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Personnel crisis: The recall of an additional 400,000 reservists is seen as an act of desperation, given that 30% of the previous 300,000 failed to report.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Military failure: The IDF has failed to defeat Hamas in Gaza and is suffering heavy losses in Lebanon against Hezbollah.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Internal collapse: Wilkerson describes an Israeli leadership gripped by hysteria and a military on the verge of structural collapse.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Nuclear risk: The colonel cites information received from Professor Ted Postol, according to which there is a 75-80% probability that Iran already has nuclear weapons and the technology to mount them on missiles.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JtUobr7xGz4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/JtUobr7xGz4<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">He also expresses fear that Netanyahu, if forced into a corner, might decide to \u201clet the genie out of the bottle\u201d and use nuclear weapons first, triggering a global exchange involving Russia and China.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Global Economic Consequences \u2013 Wilkerson warns that the world is already in recession and heading toward a global depression.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, where approximately 4,000 ships are stranded, is disrupting the supply of crucial raw materials such as helium (essential for sophisticated chips) and urea, bringing the global economy to its knees.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Assessment of US Leadership \u2013 The analysis concludes with a harsh attack on Washington\u2019s leadership, characterizing it as a collection of \u201cfools\u201d and \u201cbaboons\u201d (specifically citing figures such as Pete Hegseth and Mike Johnson) who use religion as a political weapon and lack technical expertise, especially in critical areas such as nuclear energy management.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">According to Wilkerson, this \u201cimperial arrogance\u201d stems from a misinterpretation of the end of the Cold War, mistakenly seen as a military victory rather than a diplomatic success.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>____<br
