Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made many trips to the U.S. last year. And now here we are, in the middle of a gigantic mess in the Middle East (again). The widely anticipated expectation of President Trump putting "America First" and "Making America Great Again" seem like fleeting memories now.
NATO should have been disbanded when the Warsaw Pact was disbanded in 1991. Its continuance has been a drain on the American people ever since. But the Empire, despite its protestations, gains many benefits from keeping NATO around. NATO is one of the primary ways that the Empire maintains great "influence" over Europe. So will President Trump actually get out of NATO because they won't help him in his great debacle in Iran?

New York Times bestselling author and broadcast journalist Charles Goyette joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his new book, "Empire of Lies." Of course we engage Charles in the failed policies that have left the US in a major war with Iran with no obvious way out.
By Ron Paul
As is becoming clearer from President Trump’s own statements and those of his staff, along with press reporting, the US has launched a major war without the input of the experts we pay to advise the President on such matters. The State Department, Pentagon, National Security Council Staff, Defense Intelligence Agency, and NSA were simply bypassed because, as White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, President Trump “had a feeling” Iran would attack. The President’s real estate developer son-in-law and friend reinforced that “feeling” when they returned from the second round of talks with the Iranian foreign minister and his team. However, as the news outlet Responsible Statecraft (RS) reported over the weekend, both son-in-law Jared Kushner and friend Steve Witkoff appear to have mis-represented those talks in a way that helped push President Trump toward war. No State Department officials were on hand to ensure the reporting was accurate. Also, arms control experts at home, according to the RS report, believe that “the duo appeared to have fatally misunderstood a series of basic technical and historical matters” regarding Iran’s nuclear program leading to inaccurate information conveyed to the President. Congress was completely out of the picture – seemingly uninterested in performing its Constitutional duty – and no case was made to the American people that they must sacrifice and die once again for a war in the Middle East. Trump’s repeated promises to not start new wars, especially in the Middle East, have turned out to be empty, and Republicans are set for a crippling defeat in the upcoming midterm elections. Iran had been warning for months – since the last US/Israeli surprise attack in June – that if they were attacked again they would not hold back on US bases in the region and that they would close the Straits of Hormuz. Trump and Netanyahu attacked anyway, and Iran has done what it said it would do. Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil is about to go out of control, and the global economy – along with the US dollar – seems about to implode. On March 6th, President Trump refused a UK offer of help, saying we don’t need help when we’ve already won the war. Five days later, at a rally in Kentucky, President Trump repeated that “We’ve won the Iran war!” It was his “Mission Accomplished” moment, because this weekend, just days after declaring victory against an “obliterated” Iran, Trump began begging other countries to send ships to help the US open the Strait of Hormuz. Thus far every country has declined, understanding that such a mission has little chance of success. Tragically, the war thus far has claimed at least 14 service members. It is likely the toll is far worse than they are telling us. Every US military facility in the region is either damaged or destroyed. Billions of dollars of radar and other equipment are destroyed. Our allies in the region, because they allowed their territory to be used to attack Iran, have also seen massive retaliatory destruction. This is surely one of the worst military disasters in US history. There are no military options available beyond the unthinkable: the use of nuclear weapons. The only viable option that remains is one that was often urged in the Vietnam War: Just get out. Now! No return to US bases, no security guarantees to Gulf States. End the US empire in the Middle East and elsewhere. If not, it’s only going to get worse.
After declaring several times that the US has completely won the war against Iran, President Trump has now backtracked, begging other countries to help open the Strait of Hormuz closed by Iran in response to the US/Israeli sneak attack. Thus far no takers have come up. Trump is in a massive bind. What's his next move?

Yesterday President Trump continued his "victory lap" on the Iran war, bragging that we've already won the war and that he is ready to end it. Meanwhile a new Intelligence Community report was leaked assessing that the Iranian government is holding steady. Meanwhile oil and LNG prices are shooting up and several tankers attempting to pass the Hormuz Strait have been hit by Iran.

As often happens, the NDAA bill contains some of the worst language of all legislation. This year is no different, with language slipped into the bill that automatically and involuntarily registers young men for the military draft. With the war in Iran escalating and talks of troops needed on the ground, the topic takes on new importance. Also today - Sen. Murphy describes chaos in classified Iran war briefing.
With the markets in total disarray, oil production in the Middle East halted, and Iranian missiles continuing to destroy targets in the region, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that top Trump aides are scurrying for a face-saving exit from the war. But what if Iran says "no"? Also today, more evidence points to US responsibility for the missile that killed 170+ schoolgirls as worldwide fury over the slaughter increases.
