Ted Postol, Glenn Diesen: Fraud of Missile Defence Exposed in Iran War

by Glenn Diesen [3-8-2026].

(RAD: MIT Professor Ted Postol of Nuclear Science & International Security makes it very clear that trying to build defenses against missiles is a fraud & huge waste of $money. All of these missile defense systems have been worthless for the past 35 years because it is easy to build countermeasures. When Trump announced his "Golden Dome" defense system, I quickly pointed out that it was useless for a variety of reasons. Ted's analysis shows why the Patriot Missile Defense is next to useless with only 5% or less hit rate. Anyone who builds missiles that will be used in warzones using missile defenses will implement countermeasures to defeat these defenses. Ted goes into detail how these countermeasures work.

Professor Postol pointed out that the Patriot Missile Defense system didn't intercept a single warhead in the Gulf War of 1991.

Professor Postol is very concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu is a homicidal maniac. A homicidal maniac is a term used to describe a person who has an intense, often irrational, urge or compulsion to kill others. The term combines "homicidal" (relating to or characterized by murder) with "maniac" (a person exhibiting extreme mental instability or frenzy).

As this war with Iran progresses, Professor Postol is concerned that Netanyahu will resort to nuclear weapons as Israel is being destroyed. If that happens, it is not at all clear that this could be restricted to the Middle East. It is also not clear that the US would have any effective way to stop Netanyahu from doing this. — RAD)
