He also predicted Trump would be president. Also at the end of the video he literally says it could be Vance or Haley, so he wasn't entirely wrong about the VP either.
Whatever his method is, he's pretty good at honing in on the relevant points.
According to him though, Iran (specifically the Ayatollah and the IRGC, not necessarily the Iranian army) actually wants the US to invade them because it provides the highest chance Iran won't lose outright (but still not win, but also prevent US from winning). Not sure about this though, because from what I've seen it seems US and Israel have sufficiently infiltrated Iranian forces to the point where they can even assassinate from their hidden bunker positions.

this video predicted everything that the israeli shills are saying over a year ago WTF
there are a dozen clips in here that should be posted word for word every time a shill posts on this site

Don't know, I'm still in the middle of watching his Iran Trap video. Maybe some other video will give insight.
He just seems more confident about Iran's ability to defend itself than I can see.

He did mention before that Iran had the capacity to completely shut down Saudi Arabia for a long time by destroying their oil refineries and desalination plants.

On the US front maybe they're afraid that even if they engage now they won't have popular US citizen support and administrative power long enough to finish the job, unless Trump finalizes the police state and achieves a third term as dictator.

I think Israel has nothing to lose and is the main one pushing for it, whereas US is afraid it will collapse internally in the process of destroying Iran.

Trump’s trapped in a shithole no-win scenario. If he throws down against Iran, he drags the whole fucked-up empire into a bloodbath nobody wants, maybe even WW3. But if he chickens out again—just like the “TACO” meme says—he’s the world’s biggest joke, a paper tiger with zero balls. His ego’s shattered, his street cred is gone, and the whole planet knows he’s all bark, no bite. America’s power? It’s rotting fast, and Trump’s only speeding the collapse with every pathetic bluff and meltdown.

For the US, this is the death spiral. The empire’s cracking up, getting laughed at on chans and roasted in every corner of the globe. China, Russia, Iran—they’re lining up to feast on the carcass of a once-mighty superpower. Alliances crumble, enemies get bolder, and the internal mess just makes it worse. Trump’s chaos isn’t just ruining his rep—it’s torching what’s left of America’s reign. The writing’s on the wall: the age of American dominance is finished, and it’s going out in a blaze of narcissistic fury and global humiliation.

killing iranian leadership doesn't defeat them. i don't know why this concept is so hard for people. there are many other iranians in leadership and they take their place. in fact i believe killing off the old guys and having younger people take their place probably strengthens iran

>>508080298
The thing is in a previous video he lays out the intersectionality and rival factions in Iran.
Like the army of Iran don't necessarily want full out war nor do its citizens. It's mainly the IRGC and the Ayatollah that are the diehard anti-Americans, and the potential assassination of the Iranian president was the IRGC trying to control of the line of succession from having a potentially diplomatically-inclined anti-IRGC Ayatollah in the future.
So it's possible the citizens or army would rather turn against the IRGC rather than fight the Americans which they know will result in prolonged fighting and many more deaths. He says that might be something the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia are counting on.

The reason he gives for US' inability to defeat Iran is the lack of ground forces (need 3 to 1 numbers, so need at least 3 million combined US forces against 1 million Iranians), being instantly encircled uppn deployment because Iran is mountainous, and the inability for easy logistical resupply, the three things which make up conventional warfare as opposed to modern US shock and awe doctrine that emphasizes air superiority which is useless against mountains, tech omniscience via satellite imagery and bugged electronics, and special forces.
The total US ground infantry is only 1.3 million apparently so they need at least 1.7 million more conventional ground infantry to make up for this.

Don't know how true any of this military strategy theory is, maybe it's from a book.

The West has no deeper spiritual purpose beyond the Bible, and that’s exactly why Christians end up following whatever gives power to Jews. Christianity didn’t just replace older spiritual systems—it eradicated them, leaving the Bible as the sole source of meaning and authority. This means Westerners are locked into a worldview that centers on biblical promises, including the idea that Jews are God’s chosen people with a divinely ordained role. Without any alternative spiritual framework to challenge or balance this, Christians are psychologically compelled to accept Jewish authority, no matter how politically damaging.

This vacuum of spiritual purpose traps the West in a cycle of submission—because the Bible demands love, obedience, and restoration of the Jewish people as part of God’s plan. The West’s identity, law, and morality all orbit around biblical narratives that elevate Jews above all else. With no competing spiritual vision, the West has no choice but to follow the power structures aligned with that biblical destiny. This isn’t just politics; it’s a religious and psychological inevitability baked into the very core of Western civilization’s faith and identity.

>>508088385
Poor take. You're mistakenly attributing to the bible that which was done by jewish control of the press/media/cinema.
Christian nations had a low opinion of jews for most of recorded history right up until ww2. The bible itself does not glaze the jews, quite the opposite.
These days nobody, including christians has actually read the bible they just blindly accept kosher interpretations of it pushed by aforesaid jewish control of the press/media/cinema.

>>508089428
The West was built on a triad of influences—Greek reason, Roman order, and Jewish moral vision—but it was Christianity that fused them and ultimately unbalanced them. Where Judaism emphasized law, limits, and a specific covenant rooted in peoplehood and responsibility, Christianity abstracted these into a universal salvation story based on internal belief and unconditional love. It replaced strength with softness, judgment with forgiveness, and law with sentiment. By spiritualizing the Jewish ethic and detaching it from land, tribe, and ritual discipline, Christianity turned moral obligation into vague compassion. In doing so, it created the framework for pathological altruism: loving enemies, tolerating the intolerable, and glorifying guilt. It took the sharp, grounded ethical code of Judaism and transformed it into an emotional instrument that empires, churches, and eventually NGOs could use to pacify and control.

The modern West didn’t fall because it abandoned Christianity—it fell because it followed Christianity’s universal logic to the point of self-erasure. It turned the sacred into the symbolic, the community into the crowd, and the prophet into the therapist. Now, the same moral language—dignity, inclusion, salvation—is used not to protect the weak but to dissolve identity, borders, and responsibility. Meanwhile, those who blame “Jewish influence” ignore that it was Christianity that globalized Jewish ethics while stripping them of their rootedness and restraint. The result is a moral system that cannot defend itself. If the West is collapsing, it is not because of its Jewish root—but because Christianity severed that root from its tribal, legal, and particularist core and replaced it with a universalized faith that has become too sentimental to survive.

The modern world is the way it is because Christianity was never true to begin with. If it had been, it wouldn’t have collapsed under scrutiny. A real, eternal truth doesn’t need constant reinforcement, blind faith, or political power to survive—it simply is. But Christianity, like all grand illusions, was built on borrowed authority, fear, and control. It worked for centuries because people had no real alternatives; they were born into it, surrounded by it, and never given the tools to question it. But the moment knowledge expanded—through science, philosophy, and global awareness—the cracks became obvious. The church lost its grip, morality shifted, and belief became optional. And as soon as something becomes optional, it’s already dead.

Now, the world is left in the aftermath of a collapsed illusion. People still crave meaning, but the framework that once provided it has crumbled. Some try to resurrect it through forced religious revivals, but these feel hollow and performative because they lack the unconscious certainty that once made faith real. Others embrace consumerism, entertainment, or shallow self-help to fill the void, but these distractions don’t satisfy. The truth is, Christianity was just a temporary scaffolding for human existence—one that could only hold up as long as people didn’t look too closely. Now that it’s gone, people must either accept reality as it is or waste their lives grasping for a past that can never return. The collapse of Christianity wasn’t just the death of a religion; it was the exposure of the world’s illusions, and there’s no going back.

>>508090839
The concept of hell is a grotesque patchwork of fear, manipulation, and philosophical overreach, born not from divine revelation but from human imagination run amok. What started as a vague, barely-mentioned afterlife idea in scripture was hijacked by theologians like Augustine, who twisted it into a tool for control, justifying eternal torment to enforce obedience. Medieval poets like Dante then injected hell with a sadistic flair, turning it into a theater of nightmares that bore no resemblance to anything remotely biblical. Philosophers like Aquinas gave this monstrosity a false veneer of logic, elevating it to intellectual respectability, while fire-and-brimstone preachers used it to terrify the masses into submission. At its core, hell is nothing more than a theological scarecrow—propped up by centuries of fear-mongering and creative embellishment—designed to dominate, not enlighten. Far from a divine truth, it’s a human-made horror story, weaponized for power and control.

Belief in hell is the ultimate triumph of fear over reason, a mental state born of cowardice and cultivated ignorance. Those who fall for it have been brainwashed into abandoning their own critical faculties, cowering before an imaginary torture chamber conjured by power-hungry theologians and charlatans. They are so consumed by terror of eternal flames that they willingly surrender their autonomy, trading their ability to think for themselves for the hollow promise of salvation. It’s not faith—it’s intellectual servitude, a self-imposed mental cage where fear dictates every thought and action. These individuals are victims of centuries of psychological manipulation, so conditioned by guilt and fear that they can’t even entertain the possibility that the horrors of hell are nothing more than a grotesque lie designed to keep them obedient. They aren’t faithful—they’re hostages, too broken to demand their freedom.

He predicted it but a few of his assumptions are off. He seems to think the USA wouldn’t be able to resupply troops if they were to be on the ground in Iran, that’s retarded. He also thinks that Iranian air defense will be what stops them, also retarded. A decent analysis overall but you can tell he just dislikes America and wants to them to lose, which takes away from it (not explicitly stated anywhere, but his tone, wording, etc.). Also he does that cringe thing professors do where they think they can get inside the heads of politicians, and it’s always the same “they’re so full of themselves” nonsense every professor says.

Then he is wrong because Israel has clearly and unambiguously stated that they want regime change, and the US is clearly supporting their goals and approving their plans. A ground invasion by the US guarantees regime change, so it stands to reason that no, the Ayatollah doesn't want that.

>>508080298
The west can't fathom the idea that an autocracy can have public support because it would shatter their demo liberal world view. To them, the people of enemy nations are oppressed, or complicit (subject to rightful bombing). Toppling a leader may work short term in a failed state, but not in an advanced industrialized nation like Iran, the US never waged a war against something like that since WW2 it will be x1000 worse than Vietnam.
