00:00everything I've said about Trump, I would say, is true about Netanyahu, although perhaps not with
00:07the dementia. But everything else, I think, is true. He's a malignant narcissist. He is a fascist,
00:15in my view. And he's a very dangerous person, one of the most dangerous in the world.
00:22I don't think they want to stop until they have some result, other than just stopping.
00:31I don't know what Donald Trump really wants to do. I know what Netanyahu wants to do,
00:36which is to have World War III, if necessary. Because Netanyahu, as he said, he's been dreaming
00:4340 years of this war. He's not going to let this one go quickly. He's finally got the U.S.
00:51doing
00:51what he wants, which is a full-scale commitment of the U.S. military. And he's about to have a
00:59land invasion by the U.S. military in the next few days, as the thousands of Marines come.
01:07So Netanyahu wants the war to continue. So to my mind, it depends on the military reality more than
01:16anything. Because the war will continue militarily, even if the U.S. and Israel were to stop, Iran
01:25wouldn't stop. And the U.S. and Israel aren't going to stop, actually. And then the question
01:32is, who's right in this military analysis? Are there more missiles than missile defense?
01:39Or are there enough U.S. bombers that they can blow Iran to smithereens?
01:50Usually, the answer is the first one, actually. Because countries can take a lot of bombing for
01:58some reason. It's counterintuitive. But the history of aerial bombing is that it rarely leads to
02:05surrender. And it rarely leads, and even Serbia, which is a tiny little country without military,
02:13basically, it took 78 days of bombing to get Serbia to basically surrender. 78 days. By 78 days,
02:27if we go 78 days, there's no more oil coming out of the Middle East for years and years to
02:32come,
02:33would be my guess. And probably a lot of Jerusalem would be blown up by then. And it'd be pretty
02:42damn
02:42bad 78 days. But we're on that path right now. We're really on that path right now. Because it's
02:49hard to see stopping. And Donald Trump, if I'm right about the psychology, he's not. The Security
02:59Council meeting that I attended four weeks ago, this was at the very start of the U.S. war of
03:13aggression,
03:13U.S.-Israel war of aggression, was completely surrealistic. Because that day, the U.S. and Israel
03:24attacked Pearl Harbor style, attacked Iran, as the negotiations were supposed to take place the next
03:36day in Vienna. So they made their surprise attack. They killed the 40 leaders. And there was a Security
03:44Council meeting that afternoon at 3 p.m. And I got called that morning by some of the governments and
03:52said, we'd like you to testify, Mr. Sachs. And I said I would be pleased to do so. And I
03:59prepared
04:00testimony. And then when I arrived at the Security Council, I was told, well, the U.K., which chairs
04:09that month as president of the Security Council, has ruled out your testimony. So you won't be able
04:15to testify. I thought that's nice. Let's have a good grown-up discussion. But they didn't want that.
04:24Okay. So the Security Council meeting started. And the first ambassador that spoke was from Bahrain,
04:34which has a two-year seat. And the Bahraini ambassador said, I'm here. This was, by the way,
04:42Security Council session called by Iran. They had just been attacked by the United States. And there
04:49was no conceivable justification under the UN Charter, which says that under Article 2,
04:56Paragraph 4, that no state may use force or threaten the use of force against the territorial
05:03sovereignty or political sovereignty of another state. It's very clear. It's the essential purpose
05:10of the United Nations. So Iran called this session, this emergency session. And Bahrain started. And
05:19Bahrain's first words were, we are here to condemn the unprovoked attack on us by Iran.
05:29Well, it's true that Iran was bombed. And then Iran launched missiles against the U.S. naval base
05:38in Bahrain. You would think a grown-up might say, well, it wasn't exactly unprovoked. There was a reason
05:48that today Iran struck us. So you could say, we are here to protest that Iran has bombed us,
05:56but we understand that Iran was attacked this morning. No, not one word, not one sentence
06:04that Iran was attacked by the United States. And Israel, not a sentence. I thought,
06:15this is really unpleasant. Not a complete surprise, but unpleasant. Then the next speaker was the French
06:24ambassador. The French ambassador said, we are here to condemn the attacks by Iran on the
06:34Gulf countries. The Gulf countries, which we stand by, didn't mention that Israel and the United States
06:41had attacked Iran. Not even a sentence. Ladies and gentlemen, this went on for eight countries.
06:53It was Latvia, Greece, Denmark. I don't even remember. Britain, of course, the United States.
07:06It's surrealistic. You can't even believe this. How are we not going to blow up the world if you can't
07:15say
07:15the day of a massive attack that there's a problem here coming from the massive attack? Not even mention
07:27it. That's the state of affairs that we're in. Subscribe to One India and never miss an update.
