Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.
Today we discuss:
• It’s V-I Day—Victory in Iran Day! “We've won this. This war has been won,” Trump declares. Or maybe more like Victory in his Imagination. Iran thinks it is winning in its form of asymmetric warfare, at least 2,000 Marines and the 82nd Airborne are headed to the war—er, victory/peace, zone. Also, Israel to keep fighting Iran several more weeks.
• After demanding “unconditional surrender,” the U.S. sends Iran a 15-point peace plan proposal. Highlights: full dismantling of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, a permanent commitment to never pursue nuclear weapons and a requirement that any already-enriched uranium be handed over.
• Airports are the new Minneapolis. After video of ICE agents manhandling a 41-year-old Guatemala and her 9-year-old daughter at San Francisco Airport went viral, it turns out TSA is handing passenger lists to ICE for arrests and detentions. Is it safe to fly?
• Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emerges battered from Denmark’s election, yet with a path to retaining power. Social Democrats’ performance reflects a pattern across Europe, where the center-left is showing renewed fight. In recent votes from Castilla y León in Spain, to Marseille and Paris, to Slovenia and now Denmark, standing up to Trump-style politics, or Trump himself, can be a winning strategy.
