Diego Garcia

Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Sachs on War with Iran  

Diego Garcia Backgrounder:

Military buildup: The United States is currently pre-positioning military assets in Diego Garcia. Recent reports indicate a significant buildup, including the deployment of at least five to seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to the island in the past week, as of March 29, 2025. This is accompanied by multiple C-17 cargo planes and KC-135 refueling tankers, with satellite imagery and open-source intelligence tracking confirming these movements. The strategic positioning of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean makes it a key staging point for potential operations, particularly in the Middle East, amid rising tensions with Iran and ongoing strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen. This buildup follows a pattern of previous deployments to the island for contingency operations, suggesting preparation for possible large-scale military action.

Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen

Yemen Crisis

Yemen Crisis

Same story, different country … seems like a repeat in every nation the U.S. has attacked over the past 12 years.  You may not care about the plight of these poor people in Yemen or about the plight of the folks in other countries the U.S. has attacked without provocation (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria), but these war crimes are being orchestrated and facilitated by your own Pentagon under your control. What goes around, comes around and these psychopaths who are slaughtering or causing to be slaughtered these now millions of innocent people across the globe will not have a second thought of turning on you when the time comes. Now is the time to rein in those in the U.S. Government who are engaging in the pointless murder and mayhem across the globe in your name with your tax dollars under false pretenses of the so called ‘National Security’ ruse. Get a clue.

“As you are aware the crisis has reached dire proportions. According to the UN’s own estimates about nine million Yemenis, over a third of the population, are believed to be in dire need of humanitarian assistance, and hundreds of thousands have become internal refugees.”
