Trump is allegedly launching a WW4 scenario by deploying 5,000 Marines to retake the Strait of Hormuz, defying Joint Chiefs' warnings of a "Pyrrhic victory" against Iran's fortified cliffs. The speaker argues this insanity, driven by neoconservatives and Israel, risks $90 oil prices derailing economic recovery while globalists orchestrate false flags like the Gulf of Tonkin. Ultimately, ignoring CENTCOM's advice to invade a terrain designed as a trap suggests a catastrophic strategic blunder that could derail the administration's entire agenda. [Automatically generated summary]
14 days ago, President Trump and Israel launched attacks on Iran.
And I said then Iran will close the Strait of Hormus to 27% of the world's energy.
And then when Trump tries to stop them, they will just double down.
I predicted the regime would not fall.
That was the assessments of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Trump.
But Israel drug us into it.
Now Trump is deploying a Marine Expeditionary Force, amphibious ships, 5,000 Marines, the 82nd Airborne, you name it, are already being deployed.
As I said a week ago, to retake or take the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz.
People said, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist.
No, now it's official as of Friday, yesterday.
And so now Trump has called on the nations of the earth, the EU, the UK, China, India, to send their navies to the Persian Gulf and to the Strait of Hormuz so that Iran won't attack their ships, using them as human shields, so that Iran will be in checkmate.
It won't close the Strait of Hormuz, which they've already basically closed.
Iran doesn't care.
Iran's already being obliterated, but you can't get rid of their ground troops.
So you get rid of their offensive military to a great extent.
They're still firing missiles at Israel and others, but you can mitigate that, but you can't get them to stop.
And it doesn't matter if they sink the Iranian Navy.
It doesn't matter if all these other aircraft carriers show up from India and China and everywhere else, which China's allied with them.
They're not going to do.
Because the Iranians have a giant army that the CIA tried to take down in the 80s using Iraq, and 2 million people died, and the Iranians didn't give up.
And the Pentagon told Trump it was a 90% probability that they wouldn't fall for years.
So a week ago, Trump's like, fine, we'll fight for 20 years or we'll obliterate your whole country, on and on and on.
But then he figured out that that's not actually going to happen.
So now he's like, okay, you need to give up.
He announced today the war is over.
Well, no, it's not.
Because the Iranians didn't give up.
So that's where we are.
And to all my critics, man, aren't you proven wrong again?
All the pro-war neocons that thought you were going to take over the Trump administration, which you have to a great extent on foreign policy.
And Netanyahu and everybody else.
Even the Israeli newspapers have been, wow, Iran was harder to beat than we caught.
Well, they just keep having more missiles.
So this is total insanity.
And it took 90,000 Marines to take Iwo Jima.
That's in the island hopping towards Japan in the Pacific War, World War II.
90,000 one island.
You think 5,000 Marines and 7,000 82nd airborne, that's the combat contingent?
It's like 18,000, but only 7,000 are actual fighters.
Do you think 12,000 troops and Marines, have you looked at Strait of Hormuz on the Iranian side?
It's like it was designed by God to be a trap.
Multi,000-foot cliffs and then mountains, a perfect bowl where their main military is stationed.
Thousands of pieces of artillery, hidden missiles, spider holes, you name it.
They can fly their drones out all day long.
They can hit Israel thousands of miles away or 800 miles away with a drone.
Can they hit the ships?
Yeah.
So if France sticks this ship out there, if anybody does, it doesn't matter.
The Iranians are up against a wall.
They are belligerent.
They are emboldened.
It doesn't mean in the end of this, they won't be defeated, but it's called a Pyrrhic victory for the United States.
Because if you look at all the economics and what the economists are saying, Trump's recovery plan was a great plan.
That's why I supported it.
But it's all based on inflation being curtailed.
And the base of inflation is energy.
And if oil gets up to $90 to $100 a barrel for just a few months, as I warned six months ago with economists on the show, it will derail the plan.
It'll be way worse than the Federal Reserve not cutting interest rates early, way worse than that.
Because beyond even interest rate on mortgages and things or on car loans is the price of energy.
That's the most baseline of everything.
And poor people get destroyed with inflation.
Rich people just get hurt.
So this is a big deal, folks.
The globalists wanted to derail Trump's plan.
COVID was their way to derail his recovery the first time.
Totally set him up.
We know that.
This time, they've done it again.
And he now knows he was set up.
He's trying to stomp the brakes.
Went from, oh, unconditional surrender because the Iranians actually said, we're not going to surrender.
So Trump was, okay, unconditional surrender.
That was a week ago.
Now it's like, you need to give up.
The war's over.
We've won.
We've taken out your military.
See, first it was just get rid of their nukes or nuke capacity.
Then it was get rid of their missiles.
And it was like, no, regime change.
That didn't happen.
So now it's like, well, we're done.
It's over.
But it's not over.
See, you have to think second, third, fourth, fifth order.
You have to think multi-steps ahead.
That's what strategy is.
And I've studied this for a long time.
I predicted it all, but I don't need to just think I'm right.
Eric Prince is not just the founder of Blackwater and super successful strategist international business, but he's done so many other things.
And of course, he was going off the reports of the CIA, of the Office of National Intelligence, and of the Pentagon, and of Kane, the chairman, who said, we'll do this, obviously, Mr. President, if you order it, but we don't really see any scenario where this makes things better.
But Israel and their unpopular president, Netanyahu, or prime minister, drug us into this, and here we are.
And Israel only thinks about things one-dimensionally, what's good for Israel.
But really, if you pull back, it's not even good for Israel down the road.
This is an unmitigated disaster.
It's made the Moodless the underdog when they're detestable people, but they are hard fighters.
They're not going to give up.
And it has put our entire economic recovery in jeopardy.
And of course, I don't want to hear we got to fight them over there.
It's going to fight them over here.
How did all those wars, 25 years of wars turn out?
20 trillion of debt from the wars, basically our whole debt, most of it.
And we brought 15 times what we're here 25 years ago, Muslims into the U.S. and Europe.
The globalists are playing this against each other, folks.
It's that simple.
And now, if things go bankrupt and we can't have a recovery, now the Trump recovery doesn't work, where he's unilaterally pulled out of the U.N., out of the World Trade Organization, which was good.
Now that repudiates all of that and it fails.
And Ludnick with his family and their company betting against the tariffs and buying the insurance, if the Supreme Court overturned the tariffs, buying up the billions of dollars of insurance so they make tens of millions of dollars on the 178 billion that's been overturned.
I mean, Trump is being set up at every level.
I don't say to give him a pass.
I know the inside baseball.
It's the same story over and over again.
He's smart in many ways, but not sophisticated in others.
He admitted, I didn't know how Washington ran eight years ago.
I was naive.
Well, you're really naive right now, Trump.
And I told you that just because you're going to say, finally, let's pull out, let's declare victory, as I said 14 days ago, I said you have to declare it early so the Iranians don't double down.
I said, you kill their leaders, they're going to double down.
And then it's a game of chicken.
They're not going to give up.
So they decide now when it's over.
And if you think they care, the French military, I mean, our military is 50, 100 times more lethal than the French.
The Israeli military is more powerful than the French military, other than their nukes.
The Israeli is formidable military.
So they're already being hit by Israel in the United States.
They don't care.
So now Trump thinks if he bits a bunch of international ships out there, Iran goes, ooh, we better not attack.
They're cornered.
Think through the strategy.
They've already said we'll attack all those ships.
So it's all empty threats, folks, because you've cornered these people.
And they didn't fall like your political advisors told you.
Your military advisors told you, almost all of them, except the head of CENTCOM, who's basically an Israeli operative, that this was going to fail.
But you didn't listen to them because you were emboldened by Venezuela.
A totally different case.
Totally different animal.
Which I tacitly approved of, in my own view, for gunboat diplomacy, Monroe Doctrine, Thomas Jefferson's president with the Barbary Pirates, the fact that they were involved with Cuba, destabilizing us.
That's all true.
That is a real group attacking us, controlling Mexican drug cartels.
Still, I said, though, you'll probably be set up in that.
So I said, I academically understand why you're doing it and don't say it's unconstitutional.
I still wouldn't do it.
And we're still going to see how that turns out.
As I said 14 days ago, I hope this turns out okay.
I hope magically the Mullahs get overthrown and some great thing happens.
But then, will we put somebody good in or will we put somebody like the head of al-Qaeda in in Syria?
You see, we've seen this story before.
They don't want stable governments.
Israel doesn't want stable governments.
The West doesn't want that.
That's why Israel created Hamas.
That's why they shut down October 7th.
No.
So this is really upsetting.
And for all the kind of people that woke up and became Trump supporters lately, a lot of the neocons have finally got on board.
I mean, neocon constituents, they just say this is just another Afghanistan, another Iraq, cost us $20 trillion and got 10,000 troops killed.
No, this is hundreds of times worse potentially.
And I just wish you understood that when Trump has bad advice and has bad forces telling him what to do, we've been able to get him off of that in many cases.
So by you attacking those of us that told the truth and were right, that we're actually informed and saying we're Qatari agents, we're traitors, and by saying do whatever the neocons say, you've sold all of us down the river.
And I hope it's not too late.
When the Democrats win the midterms, we're literally eating dog food in a few years because of what you did.
Trump ran on not having a full war with Iran.
He understood it.
His advisors understood it.
The Office of National Intelligence, 16 intelligence agencies in the Pentagon, Defense Intelligence, gave Trump a report one week before he struck.
That's 21 days ago.
And laid out all the scenarios that are happening now.
Now, that wasn't released, that report, parts of it, until last week.
But if you look what's in that report, I said the exact same thing a week before because it's already been war games so many times.
This is known, people.
Like this type of tire when you get up to this many miles, you know, 50,000 miles on, it has a 90% chance it's going to blow out.
You know what I mean?
Or great film based on the court transcripts, The Deepwater Horizon.
And they had these executives at BP in London and in Houston.
When you watch that movie, there's actually documentaries about it where they have the audio of it.
The executives recorded all this stuff.
They recorded their calls.
They were proud of it.
They're talking to the head engineers on the deepest well ever driven at that time.
It was costing like $30 million a day to do.
And they're like, yeah, don't dump concrete into the hole.
And they go, with the pressure, sir, it'll explode.
And they said, nah, we'll save 30, 40 million a day not putting concrete in.
Salt water will just pressurize it.
And they're like, you're not an engineer.
You don't know that.
It's going to blow up.
They said, do the pressure test.
They did it.
It didn't blow up right away.
They said, stop dumping the mud.
It's called mud.
And they said, okay.
And you know what it did.
It blew up a few hours later.
This is math, folks.
War is math.
It's probabilities.
They're sitting rolling dice at a casino.
Okay.
And I have spent decades studying this.
Decades.
And for those of you who think this is a joke, this isn't funny.
Okay.
This isn't funny.
We were supposed to already collapse under Kamala.
Trump's economic plan is excellent.
The no-tax on tips, the 20 trillion investment coming back in the U.S. that just so happens to be our military debt.
All of that is great.
It works.
Reagan did it.
You cut taxes, income increases.
You just can't increase spending massively.
Dogecam was doing a great job.
It got run off because it was too good.
That was me at the end, running Elon off.
Everybody made it like a high school popularity contest.
Oh, who are you for, Trump or Elon?
I said, I'm against this whole thing.
I'm for both of them.
But I said, Trump's wrong here.
Now you see it.
Trump needs pressure from the public, the constituents.
Not, oh, he's some Chinese emperor, the Forbidden City.
We're not supposed to be involved.
Just listen to the neocons.
Listen to Susie Wiles.
Listen to what they have to say.
They're going to get us all killed.
Now I learned they spun what Katie Vance said.
His full statement was, I don't think we should go to war with Iraq, but if we do, hit them hard, hit them fast, and get out.
Which, yeah, get out quickly.
Blow up their missiles.
Blow up their main military.
You can do that in a couple days.
Most of it was already gone, like Trump said.
But now it's about regime change.
We're in two weeks.
We're told to go for six months.
But Trump didn't think about the Strait of Hormuz.
They now admit he didn't.
Iran voted nine months ago in the last attack, Midnight Hammer, to close the Strait of Hormuz as soon as we did this.
And they've only done it by shooting some missiles and drones and blow up a few tankers.
They can mine that whole sucker right now.
They already have.
It's got to activate them now.
They can sit there from those hills.
It's only a few miles across the strait.
And we can sit and attack helicopters and wipe them out.
Calls for Tucker Arrest00:03:35
They'll just send more fighters in.
And we put the Marines in, we can capture it.
But then they'll be pinned down in a bowl with mountains above them.
5,000-foot mountains.
2,000-foot bowl.
Have you looked at the Straight of Hormuz Iranian side?
Which, by the way, they've always known would be the main invasion point.
They got underground tunnels everywhere.
It'll make the VC look like choir boys.
And I'm talking to Army Special Operations.
I already know this, but I call and I double-check.
You're absolutely right.
It's a fucking nightmare.
But don't listen to the Delta Force.
Don't listen to the Navy SEALs SIL Team 6, SIL Team, you name it.
Don't listen to the actual battle plans.
Don't listen to the war games.
Just shoot your mouths off.
And then we now learn Tucker Carlson's had a criminal complaint opened on him that he dare interview the Iranians.
And people are calling for his arrest.
That's why I've got on my ex-account a picture of me and Tucker because I respect his courage.
Tucker is an American patriot who admits he was conned by neoconstal.
He woke up 14 years ago.
He came to me in Austin to apologize to me and said, I'm never going to do it again.
That's what a journalist does is interviews foreign leaders.
Remember when it first came out, he was spotted by the NSA legally?
They said, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist, but it came out they were.
And that they blocked his interviews with foreign leaders.
And now they've done it again.
And they're like, yeah, we're going to arrest you.
Arrest him for being right?
Arrest him saying he works with a foreign power when Israel brags and they're basically running our foreign policy.
And the ADL's called for my arrest?
I mean, now the Justice Department and CIA targeted me and my family in my operation the last eight years all came out declassified.
And Todd Blanche, the Democrat lawyer that Trump has in there, the deputy AG, the real AG, he killed Ed Martin's investigation into that.
That was open and shut.
They bragged on the stand.
The FBI and CI did it.
The DOJ funded illegally.
And Ed was hired by Trump to have the government weaponization committee and he got killed.
And of course, they killed the Autopit investigation two weeks ago, about a week and a half ago.
They had Biden's chief of staff came in and turned state evidence to the DOJ, how it was all illegal and how a committee ran everything, and Biden was not even cognizant.
And that's all killed now, too.
And the DOJ is covering up Epstein, even though it's all Democrats.
95%.
Other than Howard Ludney.
So that's where we are, folks.
And it's very upsetting, but I'm going to say this.
I am all for not being under the UN, the World Trade Organization, the IMF, the globalist system that's in all the WikiLeaks and all the Epstein stuff with David Rockefeller running a shadow world government and their plan.
It's all right there.
I told you decades ago.
Epstein on Trial Commission.
I'm all about the U.S. making its own decisions, but working with other countries as partners, unilaterally, but not giving over our sovereignty.
But you notice now Trump's hit the panic button begging an international coalition, including our arch enemy China, who gets half the royal on the Strait of Hermes, to come there and put their ships there so that hoping Iran won't shoot at them.
Iran already gives the Chinese ships passage out.
Five, six oil takers a day leave.
Alex Shones on Sovereignty00:06:43
Trump knows he can't put our ships there because there's all those missiles.
And if he does, our ships are going to get sunk, and then we're going to be at full war when the American people blow their tops.
But you know, Israel or others could do a false flag on the Abraham Lincoln or the Gerald R. Ford.
You ever think about that?
Just like the U.S. is Liberty.
Was meant to get us into war with Egypt and then Russia in 67.
Do you know about the Gulf of Tonkin?
The Levant affair.
Operation Ajax.
Do you know about Operation Northwoods?
Do you know about this stuff?
I know it's work.
I know it's hard.
And to the left out there, in all the wars you started, you want nuclear war with Russia.
Sean Penn, why don't we use nukes?
You're way worse than Trump.
So let's be clear.
Don't be up there on your high horse.
Always had an eclipse of me.
Like, oh, Jones admits he was wrong all the time.
Oh, yeah, Trump's.
I'm proud we got Trump in, despite all you did.
Voted for him three times.
We changed the world.
We killed the carbon taxes.
It would kill 2 billion people.
It's estimated major actuaries.
They cut half the carbon.
We have secured the border.
We've done so much.
That's why it's so sad to see Trump getting hijacked by this and deviating so much.
I'm going to end this live stream now.
Saturday evening.
We'll be back online tomorrow at 4 p.m. Central at the InfoWars Studios.
We're being shut down finally.
They've tried so many times.
It's the state receiver.
They're just not paying the bills, the internet, the electricity.
They're just shutting it all off.
InfoWars.com, contracts up to like April 2nd.
That'll be shutting down.
You'll see that go down.
Then we'll move the new network, the Alexon's network.
But I mean, here it is.
And because we survived so long, people took that seriously.
Through all the fake, you know, court hearings and rigged show trials and the onions saying they bought it with a fake auction.
We challenged that.
But now it's finally happening.
It's just indicative of how much trouble this country's in.
So follow me, Real Alex Shones on X and at AJN Live, just Alex Shones Network, AJN Live on X and going to Rumble, the Alex Shones show.
We've got new news sites that are going to be launching and all the rest of the tales named soon.
But I'm not really worried about myself at the end of the day.
We've been vindicated, unfortunately.
I wish this was not true.
I wish it wasn't real.
But the whole thing, everything we told you is right out in the open now.
And that's the good news.
As negative as things are, if you just stop a nuclear war or a total energy war that crashes everything, which looks like it's happening, the renaissance is here.
And that's why the bad guys are so dangerous because they know that.
So Trump's calling on an international coalition.
Every time I shoot these videos, I see the comments.
A lot of them are bots and trolls, but some are just dumb.
Where's the proof of that?
Like when Trump said last weekend, the war is over.
Where's that?
And I had to show you the video.
Where's Trump calling for international coalition of ships?
You look it up yourself, okay?
I can post it.
In fact, I already did.
But don't try that game, okay?
Or ask retarded Grok what's going on.
We're light years ahead of Grok.
Grok is better than most AIs, but it goes and it asks authoritative sources, the ADL, CNN, MSNBC.
Give me a break.
Though CNN is reporting, Trump hits the panic button, asks for international coalition to come, and all the rest of it.
Even our allies are saying, yeah, Trump miscalculated.
Why do you think about the Strait of Hormuz?
That was their main move.
In June of last year, when we bombed them, the last time, Midnight Hammer, they said, we will close it first thing.
And now Trump thinks if he gets the French out there, the frogs, again, China is allied with Iran, giving them a lot of their weapons.
They're not, Trump asked China to come basically go to war with Iran.
I mean, I don't want to criticize Trump, but it's like he's so good at business in many ways.
He's really good at aesthetics.
But I've got other people that are doing well.
He doesn't understand the military.
He does not have a big grasp of world history.
He's read a few books on history on William McKinley and Andrew Jackson and basically what he studied at his military academy.
And I know his roommate from the Military Academy is a great guy.
Trump says true blue, but has his mind splits, folks.
And this is not 10D chess.
And it's great to have a real president that actually is being the president.
But when he gets bad information, he makes bad decisions.
And we need to be making a big deal about this.
I mean, I told you weeks ago they're going to try to send trips in to the Iranian side.
Oh, you're crazy.
You'll land in four days, blah, blah, blah.
Then I told you specifically who was going, the Marines and others a week ago.
Now it was announced Friday because I have my sources.
Plus, you could go online and see, and they show the deployment of the damn ship racing across the Atlantic Ocean to get over there and others racing in.
So it's on, folks.
And again, if Trump thinks he's going to take the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian side, 90,000 Marines, Iwo Jima.
Now we have attack helicopters and their superiority.
So let's cut that by 80%.
But oh, how many, how many?
I looked it up.
How many Japanese were on Iwo Jima?
There's over a million troops we've got to fight with 5,000 Marines and 7,000 Army.
And it took 90,000 Marines to take on 20,000 Japanese that were dug in on.
Can you do a little bit of math for me?
You'd like us walking into a custard's last stand?
Or maybe you think it's the end of the world.
We're going to force Jesus to come back home again, right?
Is that what this is?
I did a whole hour on this Friday.
Go watch my show.
It's posted right here on the Accident Rumble.
Or just go look at the Strait of Hormuz.
Go to Google Maps, click topography so you can see the scale.
And look at that peninsula sticking out.
And then you've got Iran right here, and it's this bowl with mountains around it.
And just, do you understand strategy?
Do you understand what that is?
We're going to have troops try to take all these islands that are massively built up.
