This Is The End

("The Doors" title)

Errata: My post from March 3rd needs a correction, it referred to a post by William Murphy claiming that a new Supreme Leader had been chosen. This was based on erroneous reports. Now, the new Ayatollah has been selected, the son of Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei.

This entire war scenario has no excuse - it is entirely illegal and is the war crime of aggression, a war without PRIOR congressional consent, a war funded illegally by sending arms, aid and funds to a nation with nuclear arms not under the non-proliferation treaty and IAEA inspection, and bombing of nuclear facilities (another war crime) and torpedoing unarmed ships in international waters. And the Nuremberg trials made it perfectly clear that the INDIVIDUALS are personally responsible and should hang. Pay attention, armed-forces personnel!

The war started with the Outlaw Empire bombing children at school - Horror upon horror, day by day, insanity without end. All those lives wasted, with no more remorse than "mowing the lawn" (a depraved zionist expression). Evil has now been fully exposed in this world, yet some FOOLS still allow themselves to support it, to support the Pedophile-in-Chief and the sadist murderous zionist settler colony. "Only fools rush in" (Elvis Presley).

Scott Ritter's article "Regime change – the Double-Edged Sword" had a great line:
"Ali Khamenei's death is the spiritual fuel that will empower the Iranian people and their government to persevere in the face of perfidy and adversity. Iran won the war the moment it began."

This theme is repeated in a George Galloway interview of Lt Col Tony Aguilar on MOATS:
INTERVIEW: The US lost the war from the first rounds fired. "Closed captioning" and follow-along transcripts are available on YT videos.

To make matters worse, we are coming up to the nuclear option, as the war efforts by the zionists and Outlaw Empire begin failing, and their pride cannot tolerate failure. The Outlaw Empire has test-fired a new ballistic missile from California to the Marshall Islands. This will be the missile to hit the Iranian enrichment sites with a nuclear weapon (Yes, another war crime). The diabolical "Little Satan" of the zionist settler colony, being now faced with total annihilation, will resort to the "Samson Option" in a matter of days. With a bit of luck, Iran may yet finish off the Tel Nof military base before those bombs can be launched, although they may already be dispersed to various pre-launch sites.

"This is The End", by The Doors-
"This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again."
The Doors – "The End": (Live At the Isle Of Wight 1970)

The two remaining "adults in the room," China and Russia have made official statements condemning this war.

Russia Responds to Gulf States Appeal for Pressure on Iran | RU-EN | Freelensia
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responds to an appeal from Gulf Arab ambassadors urging Russia to pressure Iran over escalating tensions in the Middle East. Speaking at an embassy roundtable on the Ukrainian crisis and international information security, Lavrov questions the one-sided blame placed on Iran and asks why the actions of the United States and Israel are not equally condemned.
Lavrov calls for a unified international position to stop the escalation and urges all parties to advocate for an immediate cessation of hostilities that are causing civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure across the region. He also warns that attempts to push a UN resolution condemning only Iran could further divide the international community.
The Russian foreign minister stresses that ending the broader conflict requires addressing the actions of all parties involved and supporting diplomatic solutions instead of selective accusations.
This exchange highlights Russia's position on the growing Middle East crisis and its call for a comprehensive ceasefire and balanced international approach. - Moscow, March 5, 2026

BTW, I have sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asking them to immediately announce that Iran is covered by their "nuclear umbrella" meaning any nuclear attack on Iran is an attack on Russia.

Regarding China, Xi Jinping's Close Aide Warns US Before Trump Summit – China has called for an immediate ceasefire in the escalating Iran war, warning that the "flames of war" risk spreading across the Middle East. Speaking in Beijing, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the conflict should never have happened and urged all sides to return to negotiations instead of military confrontation. Beijing portrayed itself as a stabilizing global force while tensions rise between Iran, the United States and Israel. The call comes just weeks before a highly anticipated summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump. China also stressed respect for regional sovereignty while signaling willingness to engage Washington despite deep geopolitical rivalries.

China Bolsters Naval Presence in Strait of Hormuz Amid US Pressure on Iran and Venezuela – The US is attempting to exert pressure on China through its allies, such as Venezuela and Iran, which places Iranian oil and energy supplies to China at serious risk.

An announcement by "The Elders" also condemns this violence: A message from Graça Machel, Co-founder and Deputy Chair of The Elders?, Founder of the Graça Machel Trust – "International law cannot be "à la carte"

All these actions by the aggressors are war crimes, see for instance Page 43 of the Nuremberg transcripts:

A basic provision of the Charter is that to plan, prepare, initiate, or wage a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances, or to conspire or participate in a common plan to do so is a crime.
One of the most authoritative sources of International Law on this subject is the Convention for the Definition of Aggression signed at London on July 3, 1933 by Roumania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Turkey, the Soviet Union, Persia and Afghanistan. The subject has also been considered by international committees and by commentators whose views are entitled to the greatest respect. It had been little discussed prior to the First World War but has received much attention as International Law has evolved its outlawry of aggressive war. In the light of these materials of International Law, and so far as relevant to the evidence in this case, I suggest that an "aggressor" is generally held to be that state which is the first to commit any of the following actions:
(1) Declaration of war upon another State:
(2) Invasion by its armed forces, with or without a declaration of war, of the territory of another State:
(3) Attack by its land, naval, or air forces, with or without a declaration of war, on the territory, vessels or aircraft of another State:
and (4) The provision of support to armed bands formed in the territory of another State, or refusal, notwithstanding the request of the invaded State, to take in its own territory, all the measures in its power to deprive those bands of all assistance or protection.
PAGE 44–
And I further suggest that it is the general view that no political, military, economic or other considerations shall serve as an excuse, or justification for such aggressive actions; but of course the exercise of the right of legitimate self-defense, that is to say, resistance to an act of aggression, or action to assist a State which has been subjected to aggression, shall not of course constitute a war of aggression.
Page 45–
Our position is that whatever grievances a nation may have, however objectionable it finds the status quo, aggressive warfare is not a legal means for settling those grievances or for altering those conditions.
Page 51–
Experience has shown that wars are no longer local. All modern wars become world wars eventually. And none of the big nations at least can stay out. If we cannot stay out of wars, our only hope is to prevent wars.

And further, they state that those abetting or acquiescing to wars of aggression are complicit - World Centrist Elites, including those from Greater Europe (thus including Canada), are you listening? Take a hard stand against this war or you are also complicit.

So "when this is all over" you can get back to "Normal," right? No, sorry, important stuff has been broken, including many Iranian and Gulf refinery facilities. Yes, the price of oil will spike, but then crash due to a naphtha plug, blocking further processing, with impossible economic consequences. Diesel production collapses and Europe freezes in the dark.

These "democracies" are failures - they are GINO (government in name-only). An outsider (in another nation, not outer Space) can see that they are merely transactional and not agreement-capable, due to frequent ideological capture of the levers of power. The entire government machinery must be rebuilt from ground up.

Additional notes- You likely have seen this phase of Iranian actions labelled "True Promise IV" but what were I, II and III? True Promise I was April 13, 2004 when about 350 projectiles were launched at the zionist settler colony, aimed at Nevatim and Tel Nof military bases. For your targeting coordinates, Nevatim is 15 Km east of Beersa and 12 Km north of Deona. The U.S., UK, France and Jordan helped take down 94% of those missiles and drones. True Promise II was October 1, 2024, with about 200 projectiles in two waves, causing at least 33 craters at Nevatim and three missiles struck Tel Nof, the storage site for zionist nukes. Operation True Promise III was the so-called "12-day war" in June, 2025. In EACH of these three operations, the Iranians were not just shooting stuff over there, each was tracked and provided learning opportunities so that each successive attack became more accurate.
