"Don’t Do It!" warns of a looming U.S.-Israel-Iran crisis as Russia’s "doomsday plane" arrives in Tabriz (Feb 16, 2026) and the U.S. issues a 10-day ultimatum to Iran (Feb 21), despite 60% American opposition—even among Trump voters. The Trilateral Strategic Pact (Jan 29, 2026) unites Russia, China, and Iran against Western sanctions, with China supplying S-300 radar and Iran adopting Beidou targeting. Hypersonic missiles and hidden launchers threaten U.S. carriers, while Israel’s desperation—facing losses in Gaza and Lebanon—accelerates a regional war, allegedly tied to a Zionist agenda. A military catastrophe risks escalating as global powers clash over nuclear sovereignty and multipolarity. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello, I'm John Coleman from Apocalysteys, an Institute for the Humanities and Alternative College and High School here on New Milford, Connecticut, USA.
The purpose of this broadcast is to enjoy the Saturday, February 21st, 2026 edition of News with the Fettes with Dr. James Fetzer.
Down below in the description are Dr. Fetzer's websites, of which I would encourage people to read the article that's atop there as of this recording, Quiroch Efrani, the U.S. as greater Israel and the world as greater Middle East.
I found that to be a good political, but also cultural analyses of recent history.
So Dr. Fetzer's sites are down below, as is the Institutes.
Before we get caught up with Dr. Fetzer, just two points here on my end, one of which I think is appropriate to this audience is I am lately begun a series on Revolution Radio on 10 a.m. Eastern Time on Mondays.
And eventually those shows will be archived on Apocastasi's site, as you'll have a link provided as well down below.
Also, because I know people here are very engaged and they're asking questions and Dr. Fetzer asks questions and so forth, a part of that, I'm going to take over the screen because this has been perplexing me, is what on earth are we eating?
So this is a banana.
This is a banana from the supermarket.
And it was a little bit green.
I got too big for my britches and tried to eat it yesterday for breakfast.
It has not oxidized at all.
It doesn't smell like a banana.
It's still rock hard.
It's almost like plastic inside.
And people can look up something called Appeal.
I think it's A-P-E-E-L.
It's not the proper English spelling, but it's like a, it's a play on words, appeal.
And this is a chemical of which Mr. Bill Gates has interest in the company, Appeal.
And you can go online, don't take my word for it, go online and you can see people with bananas that are completely shocked.
And they turn them inside out and avocados and watermelons and these things turn into rubber and God knows what it does inside of us.
Anyway, I'm perplexed about that as I am with all sorts of things in the news.
Dr. Fetzer, please unmute and we'll take it away there.
John, that's very scary.
I mean, it's not creepy, but it may indeed be hazardous to your health, things that you take for granted, you know, perfectly ordinary kinds of food stuff like watermelon and bananas that they could do something harmful to our intestine.
Bill Gates is a kind of mad monster scientist behind it that I would find highly called blah, blah, blah.
He could very well have done something like this.
Scary, scary.
That's for sure.
That's for sure.
So what do we have on the menu?
Speaking of food, news-wise, what do we have on the menu here, Dr. Fetzer?
We're on the verge of what's going to be one of the greatest military catastrophes of American history.
U.S. Ultimatum to Iran00:10:42
Russia sent doomed day plane to Taybran as U.S. gives Iran at 10-day ultimatum.
A Russian doomsday airplane, a hardened airborne command and control node designed to ensure real-time strategic decision-making, landed on February 16th in Tabran.
The plane is capable of secure data link and encrypted satellite communication, as well as electromagnetic shielding designed for continuity government operation during high-intensity conflict.
The Russians, in other words, are fully supportive of Iran.
Its flight route over the Caspian Sea, instead through potentially hostile airspace, could be a sign of high-level state engagement involving defense ministers, intel chiefs, and presidential envoys overall.
The dispatching of such a military asset indicates Russia's prioritization of its relationship to Tamran.
Russia is standing with Iran.
Today, the United States reported conveyed an ultimatum telling Iran they had until the end of February to present a concrete plan to the U.S. to end their nuclear program.
But of course, their nuclear program really is of no significance.
It's merely for the enrichment for the production of energy, peaceful uses, not nuclear weapons.
And even Netanyahu has acknowledged as telling Trump with regard to this latest round of negotiations, he's no longer concerned about nukes.
He's concerned about their ballistic missiles, which did so much damage to Israel at the end of the 12-day war.
At 1.15 Eastern, their home front command received orders to prepare for war.
The home front command thereafter immediately declared high-level defensive alert to the entire armed forces of Israel at 1.20 p.m. Eastern.
Israeli media outlet reported hospitals in Israel received directly to prepare for a transition to emergency mode at 1.30.
The flight radar map below showed the U.S. military aircraft in Europe and in the Middle East flying in preparation for military action.
And here you can see their distribution.
But it appears something led the attack not to take place then.
I believe it's highly probable it will occur this weekend, this weekend, John.
When this broadcast is broadcast, the war with Iran may have already broken out.
One of the busiest days for U.S. Air Force in Europe, I've seen in recent history, what goes to a dozen KC-135 RT Strato tankers airborne across the Mediterranean, and they're, of course, used to refuel fighter jets in flight.
And a dozen KC-135 off the coast of Spain, where a steady flow of C-17A Globemasters, these are these huge transport cargo transports, can be seen heading toward and returning from bases in the Middle East.
U.S. is also moving additional assets, not just fighter jets, toward the Gulf.
In these hours, we're tracing the largest movement of U.S. Air Force AWACS aircraft ever recorded.
Here's the map.
Social media laying out charts of tanker traffic to the Middle East alone, 85 tanker aircraft.
Unbelievable.
Operation Free Iran, 2026, ain't going to happen if that means somehow defeating the Islamic Republic.
Iran may not actually have 10 days.
And by the way, this is how Turner reporting.
And it's now been several days since this initial announcement went out.
Last time Trump gave them a warning, he told them they had about two weeks to do a particular thing, but the U.S. attacked just days later.
The U.S. did not wait the two weeks Trump had specified.
Today's ultimatum to Iran giving them until NF, about 10 days, may also be a ruse, just like the last.
Supporting that belief is the fact that Israeli officials have now publicly told media they assess the zero hour maybe only days away.
N12 TV and Israel reports multiple indicators, some undisclosed, pointing to a potentially imminent escalation.
As all of these things are taking place, Iran has issued a notice to Airmen, a no-fly zone.
The restricted airspace corridor runs from Iran's southern interior toward central Iran and back down toward the Strait of Hormuz, as the map reports.
The snowdam on its face is causing very many to wonder if Iran knows it's going to be attacked and has decided to strike first.
Iran had previously made clear it has missiles now with a range of 11,000 kilometers, making them able to reach Washington, D.C. or even New York City.
Prepare yourselves.
We may all get to see what happens during Iran's no-fly.
Meanwhile, the Truth Seeker has reported Iran drawing U.S.-Israeli enmity because it blocks the Greater Israel scheme, according to an Hezbollah official.
Iran is drawing U.S. and Israeli hostility because it's blocking the so-called Greater Israel scheme in the region, according to a senior Hezbollah official.
Sheikh Ali Damush, head of Hezbollah's executive committee, said Saturday, Washington and Israel are targeting the Islamic Republic also because of Islamic and revel its revolutionary and Islamic nature.
The enmity of America and the Zionist regime and their attempts to strike the Islamic Republic of Iran are due to its Islamic revolutionary identity, he said.
Damush added, Iran has been singled out because it remains the only country firmly positioned in the Axis confrontation against the Israeli occupation.
He also warned of efforts to drag the region into a new conflict.
A war against Iran today, he said, would benefit Israel before it benefits America.
In fact, John, I see no benefit to America at all.
As Colonel McGregor has observed, our entire military presence in the Middle East is solely to protect Israel.
It has no American interest at stake at all.
Ruck amid increasing U.S. military threats against Iran, despite the beginning of a new round of indirect talks focused on Iran's nuclear issue and the termination of U.S. sanctions in Oman.
According to Damush, Tel Aviv has been trying to derail negotiation between Tehran and Washington and has been seeking a pretext to ignite a war.
Turning to the idea of so-called Greater Israel, Damush said Iran and the Axis of resistance have blocked Israeli expansionism and prevented the realization of the conspiracy.
Quote, the realization of this project and enabling this regime to dominate the region has one key path, the elimination of Iran and its regional allies.
However, they stand in the way of Israel, he said.
The term Greater Israel resurfaced in Israeli political discourse in recent years.
In August last year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli media he felt a deep connection, quote unquote, to this vision, referring to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, as well as parts of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, and described it as, quote, an historical and spiritual mission, unquote.
The remarks drew strong condemnation from several regional countries.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Damush addressed Lebanon's internal dynamic.
He described resistance as the source of Lebanon's strength and deterrence against Israel over the past 30 years.
Quote, everyone must know that our people will not surrender and remain determined to secure all their rights, unquote, he said.
He added that resistance is a legitimate right and, quote, a symbol of Lebanon's dignity and pride, unquote, insisting that no one, regardless of position, can eliminate it or strip it of its legitimacy.
Well said.
Meanwhile, they're expanding their scope of operation.
Turkey is next.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett Lawrence, Turkey is a new Iran, reported by RT.
He called President Erewhon a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who seeks to encircle Israel.
According to Israel National News, when it said Israel needs to confront Ratzwamankara and Tehran simultaneously, which of course hints at the possibility at the same time they hit Iran, they could hit Turkey, but I think it would be most unwise.
Trilateral Coordination Escalates00:05:55
They're not going to be able to handle Iran, much less Iran and Turkey combined, especially with Russia and China standing by Iran.
And here we have reports about it.
Russia and China are expanding their cooperation to counter U.S. efforts to bully Iran and Cuba, John, and Cuba.
This will be a rather lengthy article.
It's by Larry Johnson, you know, former CIA, very smart guy.
But you need to know what Russia and China are doing in a closely coordinated series of actions that show a serious commitment to counter U.S. acts to punish and isolate Iran and Cuba.
Let's start with Iran.
Since the June 2025 12-day Iran-Israel war, which ended with the U.S. brokerage ceasefire on 24 June 2025 at the request of Israel, which was suffering serious, serious damage from Iranian missiles, Russia and China have provided Iran with a combination of diplomatic, economic, military, technical, and strategic support.
This has helped Tehran recover from strikes on its nuclear site, air defenses, and missile infrastructure, while deepening their Axis alignment against Western pressure.
Support has been pragmatic rather than unconditional.
Neither offered direct intervention during the conflict, leading to some Iranian frustration, but has accelerated in the month since.
The biggest news, a development largely ignored in the West, was signing of the Trilateral Strategic Pact on the 29th of January, providing a comprehensive framework for diplomatic, economic, and security coordination, emphasizing sovereignty, sanctions resistant, and multipolarity.
No formal defense alliance.
The signing occurred through simultaneous ceremonies in Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow, as confirmed by state media in all three countries and reported across outlets like Middle East Monitor, GVWIRE, and others.
It represents a significant escalation in coordination among the three nations, building directly on their existing bilateral frameworks.
It formalized a trilateral coordination mechanism for the first time, linking the three powers in a shared strategic framework.
It builds on the bilateral agreements Iran had previously signed with Russia on the one hand and China on the other.
The Iran-China 20-year comprehensive strategic partnership treaty signed January 17, 2025, entered into force October 2025, focused on economic political defense and sanction of Asian ties.
The Iran-China 25-year comprehensive cooperative agreement signed in 2021 emphasized trade, infrastructure, energy, and belt and road initiative projects.
While the full tax had been released incrementally, portions still emerging as of early Feb 2026.
Public descriptions and official statements highlight the following core elements.
Diplomatic coordination, unified stances on international issues, including opposition to Western sanctions, support for multipolarity and mutual backing in forms like the United Nations,
economic resilience and cooperation, enhance trade, energy exports, one ruble-based mechanisms for exchange, sanctioned circumvention, infrastructure projects, expanding belt and road ties, north-south transport corridors involvement, and the like.
Strategic and security alignment, military technical cooperation, intelligence, and joint exercise, such as building an annual maritime security belt drills, major joint naval exercises involving all three, taking place in the Gulf of Oman and northern Indian Ocean in coming weeks, nuclear sovereignty, emphasis on Iran's right,
peaceful nuclear development and resistance to external interference, trilateral nuclear and military talks, including International Atomic Energy Agency discussion and coordination exercises.
No mutual defense clause, not spelled out here, but it appears to me to be implicit.
It explicitly stopped short of a formal military alliance, unlike articles, NATO's Article 5, focusing instead on coordination and mutual support without automatic defense obligations.
Strategic Supply Lines Defense00:15:07
State media in Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow described it as cornerstone for a new multipolar world order with Chinese messaging highlighting opposition to unilateral coercion and Russian-Iranian outlets framing it as bolstering sovereignty against external threats.
Well, I do not believe this is Larry Johnson that Russia and China will join the fray if Iran is attacked.
And here I disagree with him 100%.
He's wrong.
They are making a concerted, substantive effort to ensure that Iran can effectively defend itself and thwart U.S. attempts at regime change, which ain't going to happen.
Both Russia and China provide important military assistance to Iran, where China appears to be playing a bigger role in supplying hardware while Russia is supplying Iran with critical intelligence.
According to press reports and photographic evidence, Russia has delivered MI-28NE attack choppers.
This was to deal with internal insurgency guerrilla warfare within Iran, confirmed in early 2026, and MIG-29 fighters.
Russia has also sent a large number of military transport flights to Iran with no reports about what was on board.
Most likely case, Russia's fulfilling supplies based on prior contracts and in defense of reinstated UN-EU arm sanctions via the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Snapback mechanism.
Meanwhile, Alistair Crook explains that China has provided Iran with game-changing defense abilities.
John, if you would play the first video, included in a deal.
At the minimum, Israel would like to maintain its freedom of action against that emerging threat.
He specifically says, if you get a deal, but it doesn't include the missiles, we want to reserve freedom of action.
That's exactly what I'm saying to you: is that Netneo puts it in more blunt language to Trump, and he did that at Marlon.
And he said, if you won't do this, then we will force it on you.
If you come up with a nuclear agreement, which has shortcomings, it doesn't include, if you like, weapons and other things, then we will go alone and you will have no choice but to back it.
And we will criticize you.
We'll go against you if you don't back us.
And you know that in Washington in those things.
So you say Trump is hesitant.
I think he's very hesitant because he's been searching around asking all his team desperately, find a quick attack on Iran that I can do.
Can I do a, you know, like Maduro in Venezuela, I want in, boom, out.
I want a quick one.
It's got to be clean.
We know that the head of CENTCOM, when he was talking with the Israelis, said this specifically, look, our instructions are he wants a clean, quick operation that doesn't involve any longer-term entanglements within Iran.
The problem is that he keeps getting told both by the Israelis and his own team, we're very sorry, but there isn't such a thing.
And what he, I think, is coming to face, if he doesn't get an agreement with Iran, and I think that's highly unlikely that he will, then he faces a long, complicated entanglement in Iran.
It won't be a short war, it will be a longer war.
America likes short wars, but Iran understands that and they will play it because they know that in about within two weeks, the American military operation will probably have been exhausted in terms of its air defenses and its capabilities.
And what I was going to say to you is: you know, Iran has got why it's feeling very confident.
It has got help.
And what is so striking about it is the help they're getting is unseen.
You won't see even signs of this, and it's a game changer.
What have they done?
The Chinese have given already to Iran their long-range radar system.
I think it's a YL-C-8B radar.
And these can detect stealth planes at a distance of 700 kilometers.
And as you know, I mean, that excludes all F-35s either by Israel or America.
These are the eyes and years, but they've done more than that.
Iran in this last period has switched completely away towards from the old GPS system of targeting, and they've moved over to the Baidou system.
And in the partnership agreement with China, this is one of the elements.
It's not about air defense missiles, but what they gave them was effectively the high-grade military data linking on Baidu, which is very difficult for the West.
This is rather like what the Pakistanis had and it's called Link 17, which is a complete network from radar to command sense missile control centers of a data system and the ability to communicate in this way.
And it is so they would be able, if you like, to create for them from Chinese satellite structures, a whole battlescape which can be fed directly, real time, into the missile centers of Iran, giving them accurate, if you like,
targeting data to Within two millimeter and two meters accuracy and feed that automatically into the, if you like, the missile centers for targeting either American ships or others.
And if you want to see the sort of emphasis of that, look at these satellite photographs that are coming out that the Chinese are putting up there to say, you know, wake up the United States because look, they've been putting out pictures of Diego Garcia and the FAAD missiles there and also pictures of Aludaid missile base from their satellite systems.
And, you know, it is, you know, this is it.
People have been saying, well, keep saying to me, well, are the Chinese going to intervene?
Well, they're not about to put troops on the ground or sort of fire missiles from China into.
No, it's an unseen deterrence that is being taking place there.
And a complete, if you like, I think you call it, and I'm not a military person, a sort of a kill system that gives absolute data.
You can provide data to the centers.
You don't need to have your aircraft, they don't need to have the radar on.
The data comes on, gives you the targeting of the missile or the airplane you want to go to.
This is what, if you like, the Pakistanis used against India.
Same, a Chinese system, but it was a slightly different one.
But this is the latest Beidou system, quite removed from anything of the GPS system that the West use,
they will find it very hard to jam Beidou data link.
Do you think that this is, in a sense, maybe, if not payback, if it's like you set one standard, we're going to go ahead and follow it, being from the Chinese to say,
you have been helping Ukraine in its proxy war attack Russia with all of these capabilities, and now it at least appears that China could be doing some version of that to help our enemy against us.
Is that possible, do you think?
And what risk does China take?
Because certainly the United States wouldn't be silent on this if that was the case.
Well, I think China would say, well, you've just spent what is Taiwan and providing them with their with equipment.
So, you know, what do you expect that everyone just different?
So that's what, I mean, this is it.
They are not, I mean, and China would say this if America pushes back.
You know, these are our supply lines.
This is China's energy supply line.
You're trying to cut supply lines everywhere.
You're trying to arrest ships miles away from the Caribbean in the Mediterranean and in the Indian Ocean and other places.
And you're trying to curtail supply lines to from Russia and to China.
And, you know, okay, you play that game and all we're doing is giving that's why I'm saying there will be no visible element of it.
You don't even know that there are these radars that would, it changes the whole balance of war because stealth aircraft will not function.
I mean, and it's been proven.
You know, I'm not a military expert, but it is, you know, military experts are clear because of its free frequency, its low frequency of the radar system and so on, don't work.
And so, you know, and the West has been very heavily dependent on.
I think there's a way I can edit that to make it a bit smoother afterwards.
So it won't be quite as choppy.
So that'll be good.
Good, good, good.
next time for the for the next link we're going to do an experiment as i get your slides back on the screen here um i want to cut our cameras oh yeah yeah Well, yeah, I'll let you know when what is good here.
Okay.
So, yeah, let's take three seconds quiet and then Dr. Fetzer, please comment and I'll get your slides back up.
Well, John, what Alistair Crook has explained is sensational.
The Chinese have provided the Iranian with long-range radar up to 700 kilometers.
It detects even stealth aircraft like the B-2 and the F-35.
It has data that's automatically sent to a command center and readjusts the targeting for the Iranian missiles to take out the incoming aircraft.
I mean, this is absolutely fabulous.
It's going to make a big difference.
As he observes, it's all invisible.
You can't see it, but it's going to make a tremendous difference in the defensive capabilities of Iran.
And that's not all that's going on.
It also turns out that Russian, Chinese, and Iranian military naval vessels are cooperating in drills together.
And I have no doubt China and Russia are not going to allow Iran to go down.
So we can take a look at our next report.
Iran is not alone, John.
Thank you.
And this time, Dr. Fetzer, let's cut our camera as well as our audio.
Hypersonic Missiles Threaten Asia00:15:20
I think this will free things up.
I'm going to make it dominate the entire screen.
I think that will make things flow smoother here.
Situation in Kuwait.
Good to see you again.
Oh, always a pleasure.
You ready to go?
Yep.
All right.
So here's what we're going to do.
We put together a couple of big maps.
This is the Area in military terms, if this turns into a war, it would be called a theater.
And what we've done is we've presented you with the basic geography so you could see where Iran is and you could see all the Gulf states.
All those little points you see with the American flags in circles, that right there, my friends, are U.S. military installations, U.S. military base.
And as you can see, they are all over the place.
Let's start with a smaller map, just so you could see the Gulf area, because that's where most of this area is, most of the action will be.
And there it is right now.
Okay, there it is.
All right, Stas.
Let's get started with this.
We understand that the missiles last time there was this type of 12-day war, as they call it, came from an area right here.
It's called Shiraz.
It's just a little village.
It's a valley surrounded by mountains.
See that point right there?
Now, that is 500 kilometers.
So they have missiles we know that go 500 kilometers and beyond the.
Let's start with 500 kilometers.
Let's talk about the impact that Iran could have shooting those missiles just from 500 kilometers.
Now, Iran's got three types of missiles that we're looking at.
Now, the cruise missiles are mostly in the 250 to 500 range.
Right within that circle.
Right within it.
Of course, they could be firing from the edge.
I mean, all of this area, what most people don't understand, this is all mountains, valleys, forests, caves, natural cave systems all over the place, artificial caves and bases built into these mountains.
This whole area is redoubt out.
So they could be firing from any of these directions.
So when you say redoubt out, that means they're hidden.
They're hidden.
They've got underground bases.
They've got some of these areas that have literally have elevators that can pop up a missile launcher, shoot off the missiles, and lower back down.
Trump will tell you, yeah, but we could take those out like within five minutes, true or false.
You could if you knew where they were at and you could get your air assets into place to do it.
Technically, you could.
How many of them, how well hidden they are?
We don't know.
That's a state secret.
That's interesting that you would say that because it's not only, let's say, this 500 kilometer, let's go to 1,000 kilometers if we could, so I can show them the next area that we're talking about.
Okay, now we're at 1,000 kilometers.
Tell us about the distinction or the difference between those two.
No, first of all, just to make, just to add on to what I was saying before that, just to understand how difficult it is to find a launcher, Desert Storm, U.S. had full air dominance.
Iraq's right there, open flat desert.
Not a single Scott launcher was ever destroyed.
They couldn't find them.
Really?
The Air Force couldn't find them.
I just flew over Iran the other day.
When you look down from that plane, it looks like Mars.
It is.
It's just all you see is death.
Desert and hills and mountains.
And it's like, who the hell could find anything?
Exactly.
That's the whole point.
So when they say we can find anything we want, they're lying.
Absolutely lying.
Let's go to a thousand.
There it is right now going all the way to Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
What would be the impact?
Now, first of all, all these bases combined, there used to be 56,000 troops on there.
They've lowered that down to about 26,000.
They evacuated 30,000 troops.
But there's 30,000 troops, American troops, that's Air Force, Army, Navy, on these bases that are in striking range.
And when you're talking 500,000 U.S. fighting men and women, that's right.
Give me that number again.
Right now, 26,000.
26,000.
That's not counting Iraq and Syria.
We'll get to that.
We'll get to that.
So they're all within striking range.
They're not very far they can run from that.
What about we keep hearing about submarines and aircraft carriers?
I think the Abraham Lincoln is over here.
Right.
Well, it's probably further down here.
But it's in these waters here.
Right, right.
That would come into play later.
That would.
And I think I have something that I want to show you.
Have we got the video of the military exercises?
I wanted you to see this because Iran has just put out videos of military exercises that they're doing to show what they have the capability of doing in those waters that we were just showing in the bottom of the map, which is actually on the floor.
Right, right.
Well, this is what they say they can do.
I've got two videos I'm going to show you here.
This is the first one.
And hang tight because there's another one coming after this.
I want to show you both of these and then we can comment on them.
This next one is them resolutely showing what they can do to take out potentially an aircraft carrier, which their supreme leader has been talking about.
What are we seeing in this video?
What can we learn or glean from it?
Well, right now, what we're seeing is missile gunboats.
So this is something that you would use not relatively far out to sea, but in the closer waters, like the Persian Gulf or near waters in the Indian Ocean.
They have missiles?
Of course.
That's the number one striking capabilities.
They have missiles.
They have ship-to-ship missiles.
Then you have the problem with the landbound missiles that they can shoot out.
The hypersonic missiles they have, 2,000-kilometer range.
Here's the other kicker.
If you bring in the aircraft carrier within strike range for the F-18s, F-16s, you're looking at about 1,000 kilometers range before the planes have to be refueled.
The refuelers have to come from Cyprus or Israel or these others because these bases right here, they're going to get hit.
So you're not going to lift refuelers off from there.
Did you see that one shot on that ship?
I think they probably put that video out and that due to U.S. ships out at sea.
Could they really do that?
If they're close enough then, yes.
If they're for the aircraft carrier like Lincoln, they would use the hypersonic missiles.
Now, here's the, I have that for you.
I don't mean to interrupt.
Since we have the video, let's show it.
Let's see the video of the hypersonic.
This is the They call this the Fatah one.
Right, right.
Here it is.
There's a Fatah one.
I don't know if Fatah two, by the way.
What you're looking at, the head is the hypersonic section.
The rest is a ballistic missile.
So the ballistic missile gets it started, gets it going.
And then the glide vehicle, which is the front third, it separates out and it accelerates to Mach 13, which is, by the way, what the Arushic accelerates to.
It's maneuverable.
And here's the problem that most U.S. planners.
If they're just looking for an aircraft carrier out there with just Iranian assets, it's going to be pretty hard to find.
It gets out there in the big ocean.
How many satellites overhead?
You got over 150 Russian satellites.
You've got over 300 Chinese satellites.
And the Chinese have just deployed their super radar system.
I read about that last night.
And it can detect exactly.
They've got a boat out there that's doing intelligent gathering.
It can detect some.
But here's the thing.
This is a synthesis of technologies because you've got Russia's deployed the S-300 and the S-400.
The S-400 can run everything on its own in a smaller section.
Fighter planes, bombers, other launch systems, the control point.
It can track 72 targets, service 24 of those targets at a time.
By service, I mean trying to destroy them.
Target to destroy them.
But if you combine that, these two systems are separate.
Right now, what we're seeing is these two systems are being integrated.
The Chinese radar system, the Russian air defense system are being integrated into one unit.
That's a big deal.
It is.
Because you said in the next couple of days, and the Russians, there's a Russian ship.
See that right there?
Yep.
The 545, that's a Russian ship.
It's just come in, and they're going to be joining forces with the Chinese military and the Iranian military.
Just to do military exercises in that region, I guess I have two questions for you.
What's the significance of this?
And what's the message they're trying to send?
Russia.
China and Iran have a pact.
So you're watching a lot in real time.
This is a direct threat to the U.S. Don't do it.
The smartest thing right now Donald Trump could do.
They won't close it.
They're afraid of us and go home and end this idiocy.
You think this thing can be really big and not good for the U.S.?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
For Russia, Iran is the doorway to the Caucasus and Central Asia.
For China, Iran is the doorway to Central Asia and further Eastern Asia.
They're not going to let Iran fall.
It is a it's an existential crisis for both if Iran uh falls or shatters into small pieces because that's interesting.
I haven't heard either China or Russia be thumping their chests saying, We're going to be there, we're going to do this, don't do this.
How dare you?
In fact, they've been kind of quiet about it until I hear about these military exercises now.
They've been talking to the U.S., they've been trying to talk to the U.S. anyways, but they've been doing it quietly.
We're not out in the middle of the media screaming, you know, we're going to sink everything you have if you do it.
But behind the scenes, they have been sending uh diplomatic missions, they've been talking how far they're going, they're not chest thumpers, right?
Yeah, Trump is more of a chest thumper, but these ships-that's a that's a chest thump.
That's look, we're here, we're unified, we're working with them.
Don't do this thing can conflagrate exactly.
Let me show you now.
Let's widen this out.
I want to go to 2,000 uh kilometers, and when we look at 2,000 kilometers, this is where the hypersonic missile is.
Don't do it.
Missile is basically a missile that goes like five times the speed of sound.
No, it can go up to much farther.
It could go up to Mach 13.
Thanks, John.
The message Russia and China are sending to the U.S.: don't do it.
The U.S., I'm afraid, is going to move forward, even though there's vast opposition.
Here's the latest poll: Republicans oppose involvement in Israel's war.
Americans want talks with Iran, not an attack.
A new poll shows a majority of Americans want President Donald Trump to engage in negotiation with Iran and do not want Washington to support L A V's offensive war against the Islamic Republic.
This, by the way, John, is a reason why Netanyahu is worried it must be done now because he's losing support from the American people.
The survey conducted by you Gov following the unprovoked Israeli attack on Iran found 60% of Americans do not want Trump to enter the newest conflict in the Middle East, compared to just 16% who want Washington to aid Tel Aviv's military operation.
Even among Americans who voted for Trump in 2024, only 19% support entering the conflict.
The majority of Republicans said they want Washington to stay out of the war.
U.S. Arms and Intel to Israel00:02:26
Even among Trump's 2024 voters, only 19% were entering, 53% demanding Washington not become involved in Tehran's con in Tel Aviv's conflict.
While the U.S. has not conducted direct strikes on Iran yet, this time around, Washington has provided substantial support to Tel Aviv's war machine.
U.S. has given Israel the arms and intel.
Tel Aviv needs to launch its bombing campaign.
Additionally, Israeli officials say Trump and BM Netanyahu worked together privately to convince Tehran that a deal was possible and no attack imminent.
But we've been there before.
Meanwhile, Trump is losing support.
Here are the more polls.
Trump's approval, age 18 to 44, approve 27, disapprove 72.
The net approval is only minus two in August of 2025, but by February, 26, minus 45.
And interacting poll.
Here's the way things are looking toward the midterm.
U.S. House, leading Democrat, 48.4, Republican, 41.9.
Senate control, Democrat, 50%, Republican, 42.5.
Trump's net approval, minus 13.2.
John Netyahu perceives this as an historical opportunity that is going to be lost, that he cannot wait, that if it doesn't happen now, it's unlikely to happen ever.
And notwithstanding, the forces arrayed against, he wants the U.S. to attack.
He'd like to pretend Israel has nothing to do with it.
But as you heard before, Vermalister Crook, he's threatening Trump that if Trump doesn't go forward, Israel will do it and drag the U.S. into it.
And they'll be critical of Trump all along the way.
I think Trump is boxed in.
Libya's Humane Revolution00:07:39
The latest reports I have are massive, massive transport of military equipment and planes to the Middle East.
I predict it will happen even as early as this weekend.
And it's going to be a catastrophe for the U.S. comparable on the one hand to 9-11, on the other to Pearl Harbor.
It's going to be a catastrophe for the United States.
I predict five to ten ships down, 10,000 to 20,000 troops in Israel demolished.
That's what I anticipate, John, as Russia and China have signaled to Trump, don't do it.
But I'm afraid Bibi's going to force it into it, and we're going to suffer the consequences.
And that plugs into speculation about Epstein and compromise and things like that.
So that's all coming together.
And we can revisit this first point.
And then I have a second one, which is more general in the future.
But there's a Zionist aspect of the attack on Iran.
But something else that struck me as you were laying things out, Dr. Fetzer, with these helpful articles, is the Islamic Revolution, this thing that brings the present Iran regime into power in 1979.
Is the merger of two seemingly, well, two very different things and seemingly incompatible things, an Islamic vision of society and a certain liberal revolutionary thing.
Somehow Khomeini was able to make those two work successfully.
And I was thinking as you were laying things out, Muamar Gaddafi in Libya had another third option, right?
The Islamic Revolution of Khomeini is a certain third option.
It's the blending of the very old and the very new in a sense.
And Gaddafi, not religiously, but Qaddafi and his whole green revolution or whatever he called it.
He had a book and everything.
That too was an alternative.
It was a very modern thing in the cultural context of Libya, just like in the context of Iran, this Islamic revolution is.
And beyond the Zionist thing, or maybe in tandem with the Zionist thing, is this liberal capital L Enlightenment intolerance of any system but secular, Western-approved liberalism.
And so I thought that was very interesting.
It kind of clicked with me as you were laying that out, some of the other axes that the West has to grind beyond the obvious Zionist point.
And that brings just the second thing I'd like to raise to Dr. Fetzer's last mention.
And that is the Israelis need these United States to fight their wars because the Israeli army is not very good whatsoever.
Israel has an excellent spy force, excellent, excellent.
It has some very good special forces units and air force, but its infantry is absolute garbage.
And the proof of that is the drubbing they've repeatedly gotten in Lebanon over the past 15 years, and then more recently in Gaza.
These are militia actions, right?
The Gazans and the Lebanese, Hezbollah, are militia armies, and they've been able to bloody the nose severely of the Zionists.
The Israelis are not in a position to themselves do the fighting.
They need the American army.
John, those are very astute observations.
I especially like your contrast of Libya, where Gaddafi had established what may have been the most humane society ever on the face of earth: national health care, national public education, $25,000 gifts to newly wedded couples to start a family, the Great Water Works Project that would have turned North Africa into a veritable oasis, introducing the gold dinar.
He was a great man, a visionary, and for that he was slaughtered.
And Libya has been returned to a tribal faith with open slave markets on public squares.
Iran bringing together Islam and revolution, as you suggest, and then an alternative to Western liberal democracies and the intolerance being shown by Europe and the United States.
But really, it's engineered by Israel behind the scene.
They want to dominate the entire region.
They're not willing to tolerate any alternative, any competition.
9-11 was all about justifying U.S. intervention in the Middle East to take out the modern Arab state that served as a counterbalance to Israel's domination of the entire region and eventually to confront the Persian nation of Iran.
This is what it's all about, John.
Finishing the plan to take out seven governments in the next five years.
It's on an extended agenda.
They're still at it.
And Net Yahoo, fearful because of the polling I was showing, the combined effect of the genocide, the Charlie Kirk shooting, the war on Iran, and the Epstein files.
It's been a perfect storm to expose Israel and its criminal mindset and its domination, American government, and we don't like it.
The American people are awakening.
They don't want it anymore.
So for Net Yahoo, it's now or never, regardless of the risk, and he has led the United States to the brink of catastrophe.
Mark my words.
That is what lies before us now.
Great.
Thank you for that analysis, Dr. Fetzer.
To the audience, Dr. Fetzer's sites are down below.
I especially recommend, well, I recommend both of them, but I especially recommend the first one because on this very point of Zionism and the longer history of these movements and so-called Greater Israel, there's a fine essay atop Dr. Fetzer's site.
The fellow has a foreign name.
I said at the beginning, it slips my mind right now, but it's waiting for you.
It's worth putting in the time for that article.
It really fleshes things out beyond Dr. Fetzer's insights or, you know, kind of continues that discussion.
Also, on Apakasta Stacey's website are, as of this broadcast, the 2025 and 24 complete false flags and conspiracy lineups.
We've been honored at the Institute to feature these.
And little by little, they are coming together.
We have about one-third of them, right?
The six of them.
So two out of six is one-third, my math holds.
So they're waiting for you atop the site, as are all sorts of resources.
So to the audience, thanks for your patronage, your attention.
And Dr. Fetzer, especially thank you for your time this day.
