Alastair Crooke, Judge Napolitano: As Trump Loses in Iran, China and BRICS Triumph

by Judge Napolitano, Judging Freedom [3-9-2026] Alastair Crooke(bio).

(RAD: Alastair has many excellent observations about Iran, Israel, the Middle East, US, and Israel. He contrasts Sunni vs Shia Muslims and how Shia can realize a moral victory in Iran, even with all of the destruction inflicted by the US & Israel.

This is having serious economic & financial effects on Europe, England & the Middle East. Some areas will soon run out of gas, even if the conflict stopped today.

The Gulf States came crying to Russia asking for help to stop Iran's attacks. Lavrov was very blunt. Where were they when the 170 girls were murdered on the first day? Why were the US bases in the Middle East allowing the US to wage war against Iran? Russia was not pleased that India didn't support Iran, since both India & Iran are BRICS members. Because of what India did, they will now need to pay a premium for energy from Russia.

Iran is saying that if the US stops their aggression, that doesn't mean that Iran has agreed. Iran has a vote & wants to evict the US & Israel from having any control over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. This conflict is much bigger than just the military component. — RAD)
