Triumphant rhetoric in the corridors of Washington, DC celebrating the collapse of the Syrian government as a major victory over Russia is both foolish and short-sighted. I will explain. Let’s start with the situation in Ukraine. There is a growing atmosphere of...

Has Trump Derailed a Deep State Plot to Attack Iran?
by Larry C. Johnson | Nov 16, 2024 | Featured Articles
I believe that the FBI’s announcement on November 8 — three days after Trump’s victory — of an alleged Iranian plot to kill an Iranian American journalist was part of an intelligence information operation to manufacture a casus belli to attack Iran. I wrote...
The Bogus Iranian Assassination Plot
by Larry C. Johnson | Nov 15, 2024 | Featured Articles
My chat with Tom Luongo, author of Gold, Goats N’ Guns, is posted at the end of this piece and is sparking some controversy and anger over a brief comment Tom made with respect to the Palestinians and Iran. While I don’t agree with him, I still find him a very...
Is Trump Trolling the Democrats and RINOS?
by Larry C. Johnson | Nov 14, 2024 | Featured Articles
I know there is a lot of angst and pearl-clutching in response to Trump’s nominations of so many ardent Zionist-supporters to his Administration. Yet, not a single one of the nominees has a blood relationship with Israel. Not one holds or has held Israeli citizenship....
What is Donald Trump Doing?
by Larry C. Johnson | Nov 13, 2024 | Featured Articles
Let me state up front that I am no “Trump fan-boy.” But I am sure that what I am about to write will lead some of you to accuse me of that. So be it. When you listen to my interview earlier today with Danny Davis, I was quite disturbed by the news (still unconfirmed)...
Russia Keeps Rolling Forward While Iran Contemplates Retaliation Against Israel
by Larry C. Johnson | Oct 30, 2024 | Featured Articles
espite my hope that Iran would “take a win” in repelling most of the Israeli cruise missiles launched on Saturday against Iranian military targets, it appears that Iran will hit back in the near future. I base that conclusion on these two recent statements from...
I Have Video Evidence that Iran Stymied Israel’s Attack
by Larry C. Johnson | Oct 25, 2024 | Featured Articles
Social media is lit up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve with reports that Israel, finally, delivered on its vow to attack Iran. And attack it did. Here is the video. Ok. I sent this to my brother-in-law and he asked, “Are you fu*king with me?” No, not really. Yes,...
THAAD Ain’t So Good
by Larry C. Johnson | Oct 16, 2024 | Featured Articles
Some of you know how my mind works. When I hear the word, “THAAD,” my brain immediately registers a Porky Pig voice saying, “THAAD’s All Folks.” THAAD is the acronym for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. It is essentially a large bullet that is supposed to...
Piers Morgan Embodies the Juvenile Thinking That Threatens World Peace
by Larry C. Johnson | Mar 20, 2024 | Featured Articles
Before I delve into the delusional thinking of Piers Morgan, one observation of pure irony — Volodomyr Zelensky’s condemnation of Russia’s Presidential election. Here’s Mr. Zelensky’s take: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday that Russian...
Can NATO Survive a Loss in Ukraine?
by Larry C. Johnson | Mar 18, 2024 | Featured Articles
Killing off a bureaucracy — whether civilian or military — is nigh impossible. But the impending defeat of Ukraine on the battlefield by Russia presents one of those watershed moments in history where the raison d’etre of NATO will be exposed as a fraud. Much has been...
What Did the CIA Know and When Did it Know it?
by Larry C. Johnson | Mar 6, 2024 | Featured Articles
As Ukraine careens toward a political and military disaster it is time to ask why did the CIA fail to predict this. “Wait a minute,” you might say, “how do you know the CIA did not?” Fair question. I no longer have access to classified information, but I can read the...
Ukrainian Post-Mortems Starting to Appear
by Larry C. Johnson | Jan 5, 2024 | Featured Articles
The war in Ukraine continues to grind on and Ukrainian troops are falling back all across the 600 mile front. Not a good start to the New Year for Zelensky and the future is bleak at best. Russia is methodically destroying Ukrainian factories set up to manufacture...
The US Navy is Unprepared for a Prolonged War with Yemen
by Larry C. Johnson | Dec 20, 2023 | Featured Articles
It looks like the United States, along with 9 allies — Great Britain, Italy, Bahrain, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain — are on the verge of entangling itself in a new Middle East quagmire as an international armada assembles in the...
Why is US Intelligence Lying About the War in Ukraine?
by Larry C. Johnson | Dec 16, 2023 | Featured Articles
The Biden Administration declassified a U.S. intelligence assessment on the war in Ukraine and it was promptly shared with the media as part of a Biden Administration full court press to persuade Congress to cough up more bucks for Ukraine. The information reported by...
Why the United States Military is Clueless When it Comes to Ukraine
by Larry C. Johnson | Dec 11, 2023 | Featured Articles
The two-part Washington Post report on the failed Ukraine counter offensive was written primarily to blame Ukraine for the debacle and exonerate the United States. My analysis of those articles (here and here) highlighted astounding miscalculations and...
Don't Mistake Cracks in the Biden Facade for Impending Surrender on Ukraine
by Larry C. Johnson | Sep 22, 2023 | Featured Articles
We are seeing the classic signs of the growing discontent within some key sectors of the military and intelligence bureaucracy over the Biden policy towards Ukraine (I will touch on those in a minute), but the Biden national security team continues to stridently...
Why are Retired American Generals so Consistently Wrong?
by Larry C. Johnson | Aug 31, 2023 | Featured Articles
The following retired Generals are popping up on cable news channels to offer their “sage” analysis on the war in Ukraine and they all share one thing in common — they are wrong to a staggering degree. I am shocked by their inability to objectively analyze the...
Why NATO Was Obsessed With Ukraine and is Now in a Panic
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 20, 2023 | Featured Articles
To answer the question in my title you need only look at two numbers — 1) Ukraine’s rank in terms of natural resources and 2) the size of Ukraine’s Army in February 2022. Since the end of World War II the West has viewed Ukraine as a critical piece on the global chess...
CIA Chief Burns' Descent into Delusion
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 5, 2023 | Featured Articles
Radio Sputnik called me first thing this morning and asked me to comment on the recent speech in Oxfordshire, England by the Director of the CIA, William Burns. I quickly scanned the news item and assumed it was a joke. I did a quick check to verify that this was a...
Is Moscow Burning as Prigozhin's Vast Network of Side Businesses is Exposed?
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 3, 2023 | Featured Articles
Remember the book and movie, Is Paris Burning? "The title is taken from the question reportedly asked by Adolf Hitler following his order to destroy the city rather than let it be re-captured by the Allies. The story was adapted into a feature film by the same name in...
