US Prepares for Next War of Aggression Against Iran to Further Encircle Russia & China

Video Overview & Insights

- The US has always intended to overthrow the Iranian political system since Iran overthrew the US-installed client regime ousted in the late 1970s;

Thank you for everyone's kind words - to be clear I have been taking steps to compartmentalize and reduce frustration and keep on top of my health, which includes using old clips so I don't have to constantly repeat myself and also no longer doing interviews on other channels, though I enjoyed doing so and am thankful to those who had me on - it's about needing to cut back as much as possible while maintaining a steady output for my supporters which I greatly appreciate. Thanks again.

— @TheNewAtlas

- The US war on Iran last year merely set the stage for this much larger planned strike;

- The only way this wart can be prevented is if Iran and its allies can create sufficient deterrence against US aggression (raising the costs for the US enough);

Please Brian never stop making these videos you have TRULY opened my eyes to the world. I can’t believe the amount of ignorance i had before I found your channel. Im sure you’re helping many others like me.

— @smalltrader_bigprofits

- Claims that the UK or EU are “impeding” US plans to strike Iran are likely deception tactics already used and bragged about following US war last year;

- Claims the US is seeking “limited strikes” is either deception or a pre-built exit ramp if Iranian resilience is sufficient to prevent government-collapse;

Keep sharing. I would ask you to investigate the bigger picture. Russia bein occupied with Ukraine is the perfect situation to take Iran.

— @Heruwath007

- The use of Israel as an “uncontrollable” variable allows the US to do everything from provoke war to using nuclear weapons and claim “Israel” did it rather than the US; targe

It’s of corse not just a local goal the US will reach in the Middle East now. Satisfying the Zionist sponsors is just an additional win. Two bird with one stone… The geopolitical goal is of corse installing a puppet regime in Iran and installing American bases all the way along the border like it was planned in Ukraine, and controlling the weak Russian belly in Caucasus and being present deep inside Asia towards Pakistan, India and China. I don’t think Russia and China will tolerate this at all and hit the US on its fingers. This Monopoly game they are playing, is a game where the US is close to bankruptcy and is desperately trying to gain power in the world again and get som money somewhere. Plundering Venezuela Canada Greenland… they hope for Russia is collapsing and there would be enough resources to get the American Economy on its feet again to conquer the richest countries of all, China. Larger than the Uas and an enormous nature and with a puppet regime having 1.4 billion vassals, who can work for the empire for little money. A dream scenario for the Neocons or the Globalists in the US.

Hey Brian, you've talked about a distant blockade. But doesn't the updated USMC 2030 hint at ACE (Agile Combat Employment) inside China's missile range? On the other hand, NGAD (Boeing F-47) will likely be a long range fighter like the Chinese J-36. I'm just not sure whether the US will fight inside or outside of China's A2/AD web.....

USA and its proxies are trying to take over everywhere and implement a permanent operation condor/pheonix where they mass murder anyone who thinks of resisting via ai targeting and full electonic surveillance and mass murder via drone tech. The only safe places will be the most inhospitable and least useable for current battery drones. They'll call it "saving humanity" or some such euphamism

Excellent analysis as always, Brian! Can I suggest some lighting improvements?

Looks like you are currently using two lights (on either side of your camera). Many independent journalists make the mistake of lighting in too flat of a manner, trying to mimic corporate media lighting. But they shouldn't. This is done in corporate media because they have cameras on all sides of them and they need even lighting from every angle, so everything matches. But with one camera there's no need. Notice how different the lighting is when they do a sit down interview with an important guest (primarily one camera on each person)?

1) Use only one light, but make it as big as you can and get it as close to you as possible (just before it enters the frame). If you can use a large soft box with a grid, that would be ideal.

2) Raise the light up just a bit higher than how you currently have your lights and move it to the side a bit further (away from the camera). I would recommend loop lighting, Rembrandt lighting, or somewhere between (look up diagrams if needed, but a little up and to the side will do).

3) For your facial features, lower the camera just a little bit, so it's just below your eye line (rather than the standard exactly at eye line level). But not too low, it should be very subtle.

4) Use a medium to light-gray background (or a desaturated color if you like). You will still get some light bouncing off the background, but it will help control things a bit better.

It's not that your current lighting is bad, because it's not, but I think the above would serve you much better. Keep up the great work!

How to Support my Work (and thank you!):

But isn't it Israel's voice the most important for Trump?
Meaning Israel wants this war, America not really, bar to pleasing Israel who bribes it directly and Epstein -style indirectly.

And Americans aren't going to accept another major war the way they did in Iraq
Same for UK and Europe

People are not going to accept going to war
People have never been a problem before.

Vietnam protests were from a safe place economically & socially and emphasised Morality.

Today , mainstream ignores morality and brainwashes people into Anger & War, BUT people do not feel safe in their lives in the West & know their Gov are screwing them

I think the odds are High for Insurrection, which no Gov factors in - who has the ability to Fight abroad and at Home simultaneously ?

America hopes to cause that dichotomy in Iran, but she is lynching herself too, this time around, and especially because it's for a nutcase state in the ME with a record of atrocities and a complete lack of any humanity towards anyone but themselves.

Makes sense when you consider how well things have worked out in previous, and recent proxy wars. A joke on a grand scale.

The US has stepped up its propaganda machine, the exiled Shah is now making calls to rebellion using internet platforms. Some segments of Iranian population are eating up the Imperialist propaganda like mindless sheep. Things are not looking good. If war happens, it will crash the global economy as oil prices will rise to a crazy level.

Brian Berletic, you are legitimately a hero. Often people's efforts and struggles during tumultuous times of change like these are only able to be fully appreciated in hindsight. Whether or not yours are recognized to the extent that I believe they should be, the fact of the matter is your analysis is razor sharp and absolutely slices through the propaganda and bullshit like a hot claymore through butter.

I want to drop a comment - Your video on Syria a couple of years ago (documenting the fall of Assad) was excellent.

Your highlighting of Rand Corporations “extending russia” was 10/10, we really are in the final stages of that analysis.

I will say it has been incredibly hard to find your channel again, I had to go back into my YT history from 2 years ago!

@TheBenchPressMan
@

Bryan you have been one of if not the most accurate analyst I have listened to on these large strategic issues. It is a shame that the US public, do not hear your or similar voices, as they could make a difference.

Ultimately I don't see anything getting better until a Suez Crisis happens to the US, but I don't know how this will occur. China in spite of having 30-40% of the US's relevant military assets in South West Asia can't even bring themselves to feint a strike on Taiwan. When China is surrounded and East Asia pressured to act against China it will be interesting to see what they will say and how they start acting.

Take good care of yourself and your family, Brian. You've done all you can to help global south countries. Whatever choice they may make is beyond your capability. You can only help them this much. God help those who help themselves. If they don't help themselves, there's nothing we can do about it.

don't forget the dismantling of BRICS, and the rare earth country subjugation programme.

At the Ministerial, IEA Member governments unanimously agreed to move ahead on building deeper institutional ties with Brazil, Colombia, India and Viet Nam – a new milestone in international energy governance – and to expanded cooperation on critical minerals through the IEA’s Critical Minerals Security Programme.

Sorry to hear u r finding it tedious n relentlessly tiring broadcasting researches to us. Your work is crucial to many of us as we don't have the source or time to study so much data. Huge thx.
Has anyone looked into the money donated to Israel n how that sum being used
?Does any of which go to AIPAC which in turn for 'lobbying' Congressmen? If so, then the US citizen tax is used to fuel the Zionist regime to have a hard grip on themselves.😮 Iran is only a problem arising from Israel fear otherwise it is no threat to US, hence it is a good cop bad cop act.

Is the US preparing Poland to launch an attack on Russia at the same time the US attacks Iran?

Greetings. Bitcoff's recent remark: "Why haven't they capitulated!?" is highly symptomatic of the "American Strategy," if, one can call it a "Strategy". It can be linked to the Donroe/TACO doctrine, or" The Doctrine of Performative Coercion." Beneath the visible disorder, a consistent logic based on costs and benefits drives the pattern of making threats, withdrawing them, and creating spectacles. This pattern can be analyzed and evaluated. While these tactics may produce short-term success, it is certain to create major instability for those who use it. The reason is that these tactics are based on a model of power defined by transactions and theatrical displays, which can easily spiral out of control.
