POTUS Trump stresses ‘They don’t want war…They want to make a deal’
Israel National News
Despite US President Donald Trump’s escalating rhetoric against Iran, nevertheless official sources familiar with the administration’s planning revealed on Monday that the US still lacks a clear strategy for what would follow the removal of Iran’s government. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized this uncertainty during a congressional hearing last month, stating that ‘no one knows’ who would take over if the regime were to collapse.
CNN also reported that the US intelligence community has warned that the likely alternative leadership could be even more problematic. If the Iranian regime fell, the hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) would likely seize control, at least temporarily, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
‘The IRGC is definitely prominent and functions above the standard military bureaucracy, but it is hard to predict exactly what would happen in a regime collapse scenario,’ said one source familiar with recent US intelligence reports.
The Trump administration’s understanding of the IRGC’s internal hierarchy remains limited following the elimination of Iran’s most powerful military commander, Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, during Trump’s first term. In contrast, US intelligence had a much clearer understanding of Venezuela’s power structure before its capture of President Nicolás Maduro.
Several sources have indicated that there was a critical window of opportunity for military strikes several weeks ago when Iran’s protests were at their height. At that time, US military action could have potentially tipped the balance in favor of the opposition, providing a momentum boost for Iranians seeking to overthrow their government. However, these sources now question whether Trump ‘missed the moment’ and whether military action now would be ineffective.
The report comes ahead of Tuesday’s round of talks in Geneva between the US and Iran. Commenting on those talks on Monday, Trump indicated that he will be indirectly involved in them and expressed hope that the Islamic Republic acts reasonably.
‘I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. But typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator,’ said the President.
‘I would say they’re bad negotiators, because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B-2s in to knock out their nuclear potential, and we had to send the B-2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,’ he continued.
Responding to a reporter who asked whether he thinks a deal is next to impossible, Trump stated emphatically, ‘No, no. They want to make a deal. They don’t want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.’
Meanwhile, it is being revealed that only a measly 2% of the enormous Epstein files have been ‘released’ and the Blond Bimbo is claiming that they have all been released and she says there are no more files forthcoming.
Which is a position that will change as soon as she gets a call or text from Satanyahu, who will tighten the vice grip that he & his 5th column contingent of jewish billionaires inside the USA have on a certain pair of minuscule, treasonous orange nads.
Stand by for a new Epstein file dump. Also, you might want to fire up Google Earth and monitor the area over, and leading up to the White House, and look to see if a Depends Delivery Truck makes a delivery to 1600 PA Avenue, because there might be a guy in the Oval Office who will be soon pooping his pants. It might also be an Amazon delivery truck; free shipping, you see.
ed note–in a recent comment you left here, you used the word ‘naive’ in describing the analysis given here concerning Tucker Carlson having made two successive trips to the White House in just a week’s time.
Now, it’s our turn to use an adjective in describing the analysis you have just left here related to the ‘2%’ of the Epstein files that have been released…
…And that word is ‘stupid’.
Are you aware of the fact (of course you’re not, it’s not even a question worth asking) that this ‘revelation’ that only ‘2%’ of the Epstein files have been released is sourced from just ONE television station in the UK?
ONE TELEVISION STATION, NOT EVEN IN THE US AND 3,000 MILES AWAY FROM THE EPICENTER OF ALL OF THIS…
And you have the temerity to use words like ‘naive’ in describing others’ analysis of important political events?
You should be ashamed at the embarrassing spectacle you just made of yourself with your comments, but judging from recent history and comments you have left here in the past, it must be assumed that you aren’t in the least bit ashamed or embarrassed at the lack of responsible ‘research’ you did in cobbling this nonsense together.
None of the ‘Deep State’ outlets ‘revealed’ this ‘2%’ nonsense. For the most part, only tabloids outside the US, that’s how VACUOUS this is. Not even the WP or NYT ‘broke’ this story, and that says a lot, given as dishonest as they are, and we can all rest assured that they have deeper tentacles into any ‘inside info’ concerning the rest of the ‘98%’ than does the EXTREMELY marginalized ‘Channel 4’ in the UK.
Now, we suppose (and again, based on ‘recent history’) that the next stupid noise coming out of your brain is going to be some species of how only those who are engaged in ‘white genocide’ would dare to disagree with the comments you just left here?
Please now, don’t disappoint us all.
I’m beginning to wonder how many shekels you are being paid to help prop up this Orange MAGA backstabbing, treasonous, fake and phony, lying ‘peace candidate’ who can’t keep his stubby fingers off the zipper pull on Satanyahu’s trousers? Apparently he has been able to prefect his skills so sufficiently that Bibi has set a new record on the number of visits he has made to the White House – whereupon, in between those subservient encounters, he reminds his disgusting slave of the Epstein videos he has possession of, that might find their way to the Cloud if his orange goyim doesn’t follow his orders to start bombing Iran.
Oh and by the way. As for that revelation that only a measly 2% of the Epstein files have thus far been released?
I didn’t pull that out of thin air. It’s being reported all over the Internet and by countless other sources, to which I have
zero affiliation. Care to ask duck.ai?
Here is what their Search Assistant has to say:
[ How many sources are reporting that only 2% of the Epstein files have been released to the public?
Multiple sources, including Channel 4 News, The Independent, and Inquisitr, report that only about 2% of the Epstein files have been released to the public. This figure is based on internal estimates of the total data collected compared to what has been made available. ]
As for your idiotic comment: Not even the WP or NYT ‘broke’ this story – this reveals a level of either blind stupidity that is off the charts, or else it suggests that you have consumed such an enormous quantity of Orange Clown dingleberries that your pea sized brain is rapidly losing it’s ability to form rational opinions and to grasp the most obvious explanations.
The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. The New York Time is owned / headed by A.G. Sulzberger, who is jewish.
As for Bezos: Yes, Jeff Bezos is mentioned in the recently released Epstein files, which detail connections between Epstein and various prominent figures, including Bezos. The documents reveal that Epstein had relationships with several billionaires, highlighting the social circles in which he operated.
Hence, you are defending the Orange Clown for his efforts to cover up of the Epsteins and the two newspaper owners who you cite as not exposing the 2% release percentage both have a vested interest in helping the Orange Clown in his efforts to bury the other 98%. One because he is in those files, and the other because he is jewish and wants to make sure his favorite nation in the Middle East does not lose their ability to blackmail the redacted perpertrators, which would happen if they were exposed and dealt with appropriately. Such as losing their jobs and their usefulness to their Mossad blackmailers.

Ed note–as expected, you did not let us down, not in the least. If it is one thing about the ‘WN’ neighborhood that has now been etched in stone vis the history of their behavior, it is the utter predictability of their stupidity.
‘Propping up’ Trump? Are you kidding with this? That a relatively small website with relatively small readership is ‘propping up’ the most powerful man in the world?
How many ‘shekels’? Well if you really must know, I have never even seen a ‘shekel’, much less received one.
As far as dollars however, we manage to get a measly $20 a month from one reader.
Let that sink in, Einstein…$20 a month, roughly 65 cents a day.
And if it is one thing that the Jews do with great success, it is HEAVILY funding and supporting those who are doing their dirty work for them, and if the obvious implications of this fact, relative to your allegation that we are receiving ‘shekels’ for doing the Jews’ dirty work for them, somehow escapes your consideration, than congrats, you are even dumber than previously assumed.
HOWEVER, that is not to say that there is NOT someone here doing the Jews’ dirty work for them…
There is someone who is pushing the Epstein thing and how Trump is a ‘pedophile’, something which the Jews obviously WANT and NEED being pushed in order to create enormous political pressure on him in order to get the wars going which the Jews are demanding but which, at least as of this moment, Trump is loathe to put into motion. And this ‘someone’ does fit some of the profile vectors of being one of those who is receiving ‘shekels’ for doing the Jews’ dirty work. He (or she) operates under an assumed name, uses a ‘handle’ that intimates being in Florida, (which may indeed be the case, since Miami is full of Jews) and uses a proxy service to hide his/her location.
So, your notion that there are ‘shekels’ being passed around relative to what appears on this website is not ENTIRELY out in left field.
The question is whether it is you who are actually on the receiving end, whether your name is really ‘Tucker’ and whether you are in fact working out of a cubicle in Tel Aviv.
And lastly, your referencing websites sites such as the Independent, the Inquisitr, etc, on the ‘2%’ business, while completely omitting the fact that even Deep State outlets like WP, NYT and others (that never shied away from stories such as ‘Russia Gate’ or any of the other ‘Epstein’ items) OBVIOUSLY saw that this story was more of a liability than an asset shows just how much you are grasping at anything you can get in order to keep your head above water in this debate.
Now, as much as we love a healthy and hearty open discussion on important subjects, especially those considered taboo, at the same time however, what we have learned after decades of dealing with mentally unstable types is that trying to engage in any kind of rational discussion with them is like trying to put out a fire by using gasoline. The fact that you ‘defaulted’ in one of the recent debates to the charge of ‘white genocide’ (when ‘white genocide’ had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the discussion) simply because you came out of the debate more bruised than you would have anticipated shows that you are not in this for any reasons other than to salve your wounded, persecuted, and aggrieved ‘WN’ identity.
Types like you of the ‘anti-Orange Man’ pedigree are no different than the ‘BLM’ or anti-ICE agitators who are being used to generate negative political pressure on the President and who, unbeknownst to them, are doing the Jews’ dirty work for them, which is really outlandish when you think about it, i.e. WN types helping the Jews to engage in ‘White Genocide’ by driving a white President out of the White House.
A bientot
Of the many things I appreciate about this site is that it is focused and does not allow itself (anymore) to get dragged down into the mud with types like this Tucker fellow who has an obvious ax to grind with the president instead of his focusing on why ‘white genocide’ is actually taking place and who is behind it.
There was a time when every day there was some knock-down drag-out with the Tucker types, whether it was the white issue, Sandy Hook or whatever, and I personally breathed a sigh of relief when it disappeared.
I hope the recent debates are not a harbinger of things that might be returning…
As far as the pitiable number of those who contribute to your efforts, I am embarrassed to see that a site as edgy as this is not better funded by those who benefit from its perspective and for my part I will make a sincere effort to toss a few ‘shekels’ into the collection plate on a regular basis, regards Syed.
ed note–we appreciate your comments and your support, and in the interests of allaying your fears of any possible future developments, the answer is ‘no’, we will not be returning to the debates of old.
The only reason why we decided to give Tucker the amount of rope that we did was to let him hang himself with it.
TUT, congrats, you made it onto the website of the kook Makow who characterizes both you and the highly-respected academic John Mearsheimer as 2 guys who ‘know everything’.
We always knew you were smart but didn’t know you were THAT smart, lol.
ed note–I assume that Kaptain Kook is speaking tongue-in-cheek, given the amount of ridicule that his perspectives garner on this website?
And if indeed he is engaging in sarcasm, I take that as a badge of honor, given the amount of disinfo/misinfo that he is infamous for serving up.
Did I not make this 100 percent accurate prediction, for which Mark Glenn proved what a pathetic toady he is for the Orange fake “peace” clown in the White House, when I said this: “Stand by for a new Epstein file dump.’
Today, after Satanyahu departs and heads back to Its-A-Lie, where he can resume murdering Palestinian babies and their mothers – with, might I remind Mark Glenn, the full blessing and weapons support of his Orange Puppet – but, who has still not started a full scale, catastrophically evil and destructive illegal war on Iran, this ‘new’ revelation on the Epstein file coverup appears in the news:

DOJ busted deleting evidence of Ghislaine Maxwell holding ‘blackmail’ over Trump
David Edwards
February 20, 2026 11:09AM ET
The Department of Justice was reportedly caught deleting evidence that sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was in possession of three interviews that could possibly be used as blackmail over President Donald Trump and were not released to the general public.
On Friday, investigative reporter Roger Sollenberger laid out the timeline of when the DOJ removed documents showing that Maxwell’s legal team had possessed “a key document about a woman who told the FBI that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child.”
After Sollenberger reported the missing document, it was soon available on the DOJ’s website again.

“[T]his document shows the FBI conducted not just one but four interviews with Trump’s accuser,” the report stated. “[W]hile the government gave all four of those interviews to Maxwell’s legal team ahead of her trial, the government gave only one of those four interviews to us in the Epstein files.”
“In other words, this document shows that, in choosing to withhold three of the four interviews from the Epstein files, the DOJ has granted Maxwell potential blackmail on the sitting president of the United States,” Sollenberger concluded.

ed note—If you should have been embarrassed and ashamed at the last one you tossed in, this one is even worse.
As a reminder, your previous ‘salvo’ featured the claim (sourced by only ONE very marginal television station in the UK) that ‘98%’ of the Epstein files would not be released. When we pointed out that this ‘informational earthquake’ that had no factual backing to it was sourced to just one, count it, ONE site in the UK, and that none, count them, NONE of the other Deep State outlets such as WP, NYT, etc, bothered to touch this with a ten foot pole because it was so embarrassingly vacuous, your rebuttal was to toss in a few tabloids, also in the UK, who picked up on this story.
And now you are doing the very same thing with this, involving the ‘deleted’ and then ‘replaced’ files. It is sourced to one, count it, ONE outlet (a free substack account of all things) and as of the moment of this writing, once again, none, count them, NONE, of the major Deep State outlets have picked the story up.
Now, a lil’ background info on the ‘credibility’ of the source of the story you have now tossed into the discussion.
First of all, ‘Raw Story’–Even the most baseline, one-dimensional, myopic, double-digit IQ type will see within a millisecond of opening the home page of ‘RS’ that it functions with just one objective, count it, ONE, which is acting as a bullhorn for ‘Never Trumpism’. 90% of the stories have the word ‘Trump’ in their titles and are obviously there to cause as much negative political energy against him as possible. The site describes itself as ‘progressive’, which is a code word for ‘cultural marxist’, which is very perplexing, given that ‘Tucker’ claims to be fighting against ‘white genocide’, and yet, anyone with (again) even a double digit IQ knows how incompatible the two are.
So which is it, ‘Tuck’? Are you into preventing ‘White genocide’? If so, then why are you giving any credibility to a news outlet that is, by its own admission, avowedly into cultural Marxism and therefore engaged in white genocide?
Steeee-rike One…
Nexto, the original source of the story itself dealing with the deleted/re-appearing Epstein files, which, if memory serves, there are, according to this latest ‘bombshell’, 3 or 4 files out of the ‘tens of millions’, according to ‘Tuck’, that have been ‘buried’.
And just what happened to the millions of others that were in your last salvo?
Have you already abandoned that one, seeing what a pathetically weak argument it was for you in trying to make your ‘point’, whatever it was?
Nevertheless, we’ll just stay focused on the ‘3 or 4’…
The original ‘investigative journalist’ who ‘broke’ this story is none other than Roger Sollenberger who used to be the chief political reporter for the Daily Beast, another ‘progressive’ news site.
But it’s even worse than that…
The Daily Beast was bought by the very Jewish husband of the very Jewish former US Rep from California Jane Harman who was caught in an FBI/NSA wiretap sting–
https://www.npr.org/2009/04/21/103330280/harman-outraged-over-alleged-wiretapping
–negotiating with Israel’s Mossad for a seat on the House intel committee in exchange for her using her influence to get the 2 Jew spies at AIPAC let off the hook viz the espionage charges they were facing.
After her very Jewish husband acquired the Daily Beast, she was put on as one of its directors for ‘editorial content’.
So we can dismiss any and all notions of integrity on the part of the ‘investigative journalist’ Roger Sollenberger who used to be in thick with the Jewess spy Jane Harman and her ‘Daily Beast’.
Steeee-rike 2…
Nexto, the ‘deleted files’ which Sollenberger has alleged were removed because of references to Trump engaging in some kind of lurid sexual behavior–
Is it possible that these ‘files’ were not actual files directly related to FBI field notes, but instead, ‘files’ that were surreptitiously inserted by Mossad hackers, 5th columnists, Deep State operatives in the USDOJ or someone else on Netanyahu’s payroll?
Yeah, it’s not just possible, it’s REALLY possible that this is the case, and that the FBI/USDOJ, recognizing that this was/is an intelligence op on the part of a hostile foreign power out to put ‘false flag’ political pressure on Trump in order to force his hand with regards to the same war against Iran that they want (but which he does not) excised them for being the Mossad disinfo that they were/are.
Hadn’t considered that, huh ‘Tuck’?
Steeee-rike 3…
And finalmente, Mr. ‘White Nationalist’/‘Save the white race’ who believes in and uses OBVIOUSLY dubious agit/prop from overtly anti-white news sources in order to assist in driving out of the White House the first-in-a-LONG-time white President who cares about his fellow white Americans, what say thee about the recent OVERTLY anti-Israel programs that Tucker Carlson has done, including the most recent DEVASTATING interview he did with the dolt Huckabee in the aftermath of what you theorized was his being ‘threatened’ by POTUS at the 2 recent White House meetings to ‘get with the Israel first program’ lest he wind up like Charlie Kirk?
Any denunciations on the part of POTUS towards Carlson and the interview he did with ‘Huck’ where Carlson made an absolute fool of Trump’s Amb to Israel?
If your theory about POTUS ‘threatening’ Carlson to ‘get with the Israel 1st program’ had any credibility to it, we would at least have seen SOME distancing of Trump from it, and that has not yet happened to the best of our knowledge here at this humble little informational endeavor.
In fact, were we to ‘theorize’ further on what was discussed at those 2 meetings at the WH, one could speculate that Carlson’s plans for interviewing ‘Huck’ were on the list of conversation topics and that it was pre-discussed with and pre-approved by Trump.
So, here’s the bottom line, ‘Tuck’…
Too much time and energy has been wasted dealing with you in the comments section here. You are an obvious malcontent who can’t seem to parse between fact and fiction and who doesn’t know if he is plant, animal, or mineral. You claim to be a WN out to save the white race, but then you use overtly anti-white news outlets in order to assist the Jews in driving out of the WH a White President who is out (to the best of his limited abilities) to prevent the incineration of the white race which the Jews obviously want.
So the bottom line is that it is time for you to move on to greener pastures out there on the internet. No more time will be spent pointing out the obvious flaws in your many ‘theories’ as there are just too many of these flaws and there are more important things to talk about right now.
And as far as your IDIOTIC assertion that yours truly is engaged in ‘glossing over’ and ‘defending’ the ‘sexual deviancy’ of my ‘Orange Idol’, no such thing is taking place at all, and, once again, your lacklustre mental muscle is screaming out with comments such as this.
In the first case, he is not my ‘idol’. There’s plenty in his approach with which I am at extreme variance, not the least of which is the manner in which he deals with the Jews. If I were lucky enough to speak face to face with him and were given the permission to speak frankly, I would tell him in the clearest of terms that his approach in dealing with the Jews is too soft, that a full-scale invasion needs to take place and that a repeat of 70 AD needs to happen, ‘macht schnell’.
Not that any of this explanation is owed you, by the way, but since you decided to open that can of worms you can deal with the aftermath of it.
And as far as the ‘cover up’ of his ‘sexual deviancy’, why do you assume, based upon what Deep State forces are intimating, (the same Deep State forces BTW that said there were WMDs in Iraq and that Joe Biden was the legally-elected POTUS) that there is any truth to the charges of Trump’s ‘deviancy’ with children?
And since you won’t answer it, we’ll answer it for you…
You are willing to believe these things not because there is any actual factual truth to them, but rather because they resonate with some EMOTIONAL (not reason-based) appetite that is driving your political ‘activism’, and the fact that you swallow, WHOLE HOG, everything that is fed to you by those whom you yourself consider to be your sworn enemies shows that you are, in the words of the late, great, and greatly missed MCP, ‘either a fool or a liar’.
Good luck wherever you wind up, but don’t come back here, this obviously isn’t the right neighborhood for you, since you are so smart and the rest of us are ‘amateurs’ at best and ‘seeekrit agents’ at worse.
How anyone can manage an ounce of patience with the Tucker types of the world is one of those mysteries that will never be solved, and unfortunately they seem to be multiplying numerically by the day. Try carrying on a conversation with someone where critical thinking skills are needed and see what a waste of time it becomes. Many of us gave up a long time ago.
