Michael Pompeo: War, Ukraine, and a Global Alliance for Freedom
Jun 24, 2022
Hudson Institute
Putin’s war on Ukraine is a pivotal event in post-Cold War politics; this unjust war seeks to annihilate the existence of a free and independent country. What does this portend for world democracies? How does it impact America’s ongoing top strategic priority that centers on the existential threat from China? Why should a machinist in Wichita or a schoolteacher in Des Moines care about what happens in the Donbas?
Hudson’s Distinguished Fellow, the 70th U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, will deliver a major speech to answer all these questions followed by a conversation with Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead.

‘LONG OVERDUE’: Pompeo breaks down US-Israel strikes on Iran
Fox News Clips
Mar 1, 2026
Former Secretary of State and Fox News contributor Mike Pompeo offers his perspective on the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on ‘America’s Newsroom.’
Really? We’re using Pompeo as a reliable source now?🙄
As I said previously, they’ve upgraded the technology!
https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2026/03/16/the-us-has-several-options-to-counter-iranian-mines-these-are-some-key-assets
The US has several options to counter Iranian mines. These are some key assets.
Mar 16, 2026
Does he say that it will be broken up in pieces for “Greater Israel”? If not, you’re not getting the truth.
Greater Israel is a stalking horse like the rest of the bullshit we get. Maybe Benjamin has that fantasy but the puppet masters don’t care about that. They are going to drop him, Trump and all the other disposables right down the shitter once they have done their job and crashed the Western economies and helped along the shift to the yuan and “multipolarity”.
They might even give the lefty plebs a treat and put BN in an orange jumpsuit for a fake trial before sending him off to an old age of raping kids on Epstein’ s island and people like Pepe Escobar will tell people like you that justice has been done I guess.
The puppet masters are largely zionists, you’re dead wrong and evidently trying to misdirect.
How do you know they’re all Zionists? Who told you? Looks more likely to me that Israel and US are playing the evil bad guys so the idea of multipolar BRICS taking over looks like a good thing. I don’t see any other reason why Bibi and Trump have gone out their way to be evil in ways that don’t help them in their notional ambitions but just make them look terrible. Like changing Defense dept to War dept. Like bombing civilians in Gaza.
Like if Bibi really wanted to take over Gaza he could just send troops in and it would be over. Nope, instead he keeps bombing an area the size of lower Manhattan, which must be just rubble now, and achieving literally nothing except making himself look bad. As if that’s the point, right?
Same with Hamas shelling empty houses and Iran bombing mostly condemned buildings in Tel Aviv. Wtf? No one wants to win these wars apparently, which is just weird.
I’m thinking they don’t want the truth here. Alot of protection of zionists on here.
Wow, slow down. How does Corbett’s vid “protect zionists”?
Thanks for seeing through the scam James. It’s obvious. The Iran war is the second go at the Great Reset. No side is trying to win. The point is just to keep it ticking over as a reason for doing all the same things as with covid.
There can be more than one endgame.
The US re-enacting the Crusades. Led by Crusade-tattooed Hegseth.
Israel, fighting against Amalek, whilst restoring the Promised Land and Temple.
Iranians fighting the oppressors (‘mustakbirin’) in expectation of the return of the Mahdi.
And perhaps yes even some shadowy figures in smoky rooms, are twirling their moustaches whilst plotting the downfall of the dollar and the rise of a global crypto.
A multipolar multiplicity of endgames. A New World Disorder
Meanwhile Wisdom sits quietly at the centre of the whole conflict in the form of the (quiet) Strait of Hormuz. ‘Hormuz’ derived from = ‘Ahura Mazda’ = ‘wise lord’ – once the supreme unborn Creator god in ancient Persia
While Trump bullshits to the press about how he and the new ayatolla should be running Iran and controlling the Strait of Hormuz,
And we are sposed to believe that Trump (& the whole world) says, “Well, obviously Donald’s ego is more important than worldwide depression & suffering.”
Really????
Hell hath no fury like a narcissist US president exposed naked.
No, James, the endgame with Iran is global crisis due to oil scarcity. And under cover of that crisis look what they can do:
–cut back on food production (fertilizer scarcity, reduced fuel for farm machinery & transport of perishables, rising food prices.}
–transportation lockdowns, the big push for 15-minute cities
–If there is no spontaneous increase in disorder, they will invent it– as an excuse for crackdown.
–Increased censorship of “disinformation” due to the {planned}”emergency”.
–Maybe a semi-collapse of the dollar to usher in the programmable currency.
–Certainly this will somehow result in the — maybe fictitious spread of hygience problems w food or sewage or water treatment– and therefore a new plandemic.
Trump’s personality is the perfect pretext to continue to force Iran to play its best card– partial closure of the Strait. But that’s not enough; they’ll have to egg Iran into destroying more oil facilities. A cartoon war to bring in Technocracy.
TPTB have been very clever, boys and girls, and WE are in deep shit.
Got to start working NOW in how to persuade people that the oil crisis is on purpose.
Isn’t what you say exactly what Corbett is saying? Did I watch a different video. Like, about 3 mins in he says Trump is just a puppet. Didn’t you watch the video?
James spent 22 minutes telling us what the Iran war WASN’T. I think everybody on this site knows Blabbermouth is a puppet.
Then James tells us one of the purposes of the war is the US military making money & We follow the money to Mara Lago & Lutnick & Bessent & other administration personnel all making bank.
Then he says others who are benefiting are Rus oil & Iranian oil.
At 32:00 he mocks Professor Jiang for his popularity in James home country of Canada, and apparently because Jiang advocates a new world order of multipolarity. (I guess it hasn’t occurred to James that a new world order and/or multipolarity have no NECESSARY connection to tyranny.} Jiang specializes in Game Theory and I find his analyses an interesting supplementary view; the 15 seconds of him that James shows wasn’t useful.
Lastly, James informs us of the importance of Iran linking passage of the Strait to the use of yuan to trade in oil. In case you didn’t know.
Like I said, the video is probably an excellent source for those who don’t yet know anything about the geopolitical situation.
Calliope, I have no idea why you think that James saying that Trump is a puppet makes everything that I’ve said redundant. Maybe cuz you are already well-informed & you like James & you just imagined that he told you more than he did. I however was taking notes while I was being bored waiting for his explanation of the endgame. I didn’t hear it.
I recommend everybody to read Jiang. He is good rational neutral in his analysis, and his right scores are 100% up to date!
Many people have difficulty in hearing a sharp well founded analysis like his.
They think he must be double agent. But facts are facts.
https://janwellmann.substack.com/p/the-end-of-the-world-according-to/comments
Yeah, I agree Erik. I think he’s come up with a lot of good analysis. The phrase “There is a new world order” doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody– and there’s certainly nothing wrong w wanting a multipolar world. It’s just that we want a DIFFERENT new world order than the murderous one being devised by TPTB.
In schools kids are groomed to become obedient workers and consumers.
You’d think the government would close down these groomers…
I thought the endgame was that it was a hoax fake psyop false flag.
The endgame (or ending) is the final stage of a chess game which occurs after the middlegame. It begins when few pieces are left on the board.
Are you wondering how this whole Iran war debacle is going to end? YES, please do tell us. Sick of the lies and propaganda slop that is being fed to the masses on this issue? Like James never feeds anyone slop? Then you won’t want to miss this important edition of The Corbett Report podcast, where James peers through the wartime propaganda and reads the geopolitical tea leaves to discern what this war is really about and where it’s really going.
Ok
As usual , James calls this COVID pandemic type of war, which has had more propaganda from its alt media supplies of nonsense.
James sells the fake as real while proclaiming to read the tea leaves of honesty, which his Christian fanbase would usually call devil worship on.
There was no mention of the biblical end times prophecy his sick Christian fanbase are wanting and what this whole thing is about.
Waste of time watching, it just as bad as watching the daily mail podcast.
Evidence forthcoming I take it?
I don’t care if he’s a Christian or a Calathumpian, as long as he sticks with the facts and doesn’t flog Christian or Calathumpian propaganda.
Thanks to OffG and Corbett. Financial game. World control. All in it. The detail that they all have planned and agreed Great Israel as a the central trade center in ME.
This do also explain Russia’s wagging attitude toward Israel and Al-Qaida in Syria, and wagging obedience to US in Ukraine.
They are ALL in it and have already agreed the cards in the New World Order. Only one thing remains….they forgot to ask ME about it, and this detail will be their downfall.
They think I am alone against all these super powers, wrong! It is THEY who are completely alone against me folks! Take care.
The REAL Endgame is:
To perpetuate the game(s) indefinitely
.
Insanity knows neither rationality nor nationality
.
War: Something the 1% do when their accountants tell them that profits are down.
War: Something the 99% have had enough of.
All Americans must stand up and fight this world war for Israel. You have done it before and will do it again. In the boots dear guys, and down to the sweaty hotty desert 😂 .
President Trump The Resolute, has postponed Iran’s Day of Judgement
’til Monday 6 April – the day after He Is Risen, so all Good Christian Soldiers
can celebrate He Is Risen Day,
(Much to the chagrin of Is***l, which, not being Christians, wont stop bombing
The Devil Iran)… Though 6 April is Easter Monday to the Christian World, in
Australia it’s Waltzing Matilda Day (must a hang-over from before Australia
became ‘multi-cultural’)
I have to think that the US ground invasion and/or other escalations will go forward because TPTB need a greater crisis if it’s to be used to make possible the continued expansion of the Eradicate-Freedom System. I speak of course of omni-surveillance & the programmable money with which they plan to create modern serfdom.
Of course it appears that only a remnant of humanity is to be permitted to survive. The question is whether we can organize in time against their plan.
I noticed that Blackrock was investing and operating AI and the Digital Society in Ukraine while Russia and Ukraine were fighting the war??? It raised an eyebrow??? Wtf.
Could it be something similar. To introduce Digital and CBDC they need chaos?
According to Escapekey’s Deep Dive into The Epstein Files, Jeffrey was hired
by David de Rothschild, and Ariana de Rothschild subsequently was their
go-between. .. Ariana is head of Rothschild’s Paris bank which is currently being investigated for corruption, in connection with Jeffrey…
Sherlock Holmes’ Moriarty, the shadowy villain whose evil hand Sherlock
sensed was behind every dastardly deed, has segued into The Deep State…
So says A Reliable Sauce, who’s not one of those untrustworthy Anonymous
Sauces…
What’s in it for The Average Person ? Well. The Average Person believes,
every War is fought to bring about Everlasting Peace, so The Average Person
expects every War to be The War To End All Wars, and seriously hopes the
guy who said “The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth” wasnt lying…
Probably an excellent video for people who have just begun following politics and don’t know anything.
France/Macron sends an aircraft carrier to the ME – but all is not what it appears to be.
Johnny Midnight https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/26a1.svg (@its_The_Dr): “A French soldier from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has blown the whistle: the ship is falling apart, overrun by rats and fleas, and the crew is battling a TYPHUS outbreak. While Macron can’t decide whether to involve in the Middle East conflict or not. What would you expect from Macron.” | nitter.poast.org
Bloody hell. The French Navy sounds as incompetent and unprepared as the USians.
Illiterate and gullible, and evidently nothing better to do than spend most of your waking hours on here scaremongering. What does your wife make of your online lifestyle? If indeed she exists!
Unlike you – I’m not getting paid to post in here, what online lifestyle? posting what I think is fairly interesting in here is not a lifestyle, it a choice to try and inform folk, as for my wife – unlike you she doesn’t have a problem with it, which tells me more about you than you’d think.
Being paid? What a ridiculous pap you are. Yes, informing people is obviously your claimed purpose, but I guess you just have nothing better to do than post nonsense “in” here all day long. Yes, your “wife”- is she made of rubber?!
You are not disagreeing about facts or the article you are insulting and bullying. This is not allowed.

Executive Summary
Full Take
The strongest version of this narrative presents the Iran conflict as a manufactured crisis designed to serve multiple agendas: economic control, geopolitical realignment, and societal transformation. Proponents argue that the war is not about territorial or ideological victory but about perpetuating instability to justify broader systemic changes, such as the adoption of digital currencies, increased surveillance, and the erosion of national sovereignty. The Strait of Hormuz is framed as a critical lever in this strategy, with oil scarcity used to accelerate these shifts. The involvement of figures like Pompeo, Trump, and financial entities like BlackRock is cited as evidence of coordinated manipulation, while the lack of clear military objectives from either side fuels suspicions of a staged conflict.
Patterns detected: ARC-0024 Ambiguity (vague claims of "puppet masters" and "shadowy figures" without concrete evidence), ARC-0043 Motte-and-Bailey (shifting between specific claims about geopolitical strategy and broader conspiracy theories), ARC-0012 Emotional Exploitation (appeals to fear and outrage over perceived propaganda and manipulation).
The root cause appears to be a paradigm of distrust in institutional narratives, where all major conflicts are assumed to be orchestrated by hidden elites. This echoes historical patterns of conspiracy thinking, where complex events are reduced to the actions of a small, malevolent group. The implications for human agency are significant: if the conflict is indeed a manufactured crisis, it suggests a loss of control over democratic processes and a shift toward technocratic governance. The second-order consequences could include economic collapse, increased authoritarianism, and the normalization of perpetual war as a tool of social control.
Bridge questions: What evidence would be required to distinguish between a genuinely orchestrated crisis and the chaotic interplay of competing interests? How might the focus on hidden elites obscure the role of systemic factors, such as resource competition or ideological clashes, in driving conflict? If the goal is to resist manipulation, what alternative frameworks for understanding geopolitical events could provide more agency to ordinary citizens?
Counterstrike scan: A coordinated influence campaign would likely amplify emotional triggers (fear, anger) while obscuring concrete evidence, using vague references to "puppet masters" and "shadowy figures" to create a sense of inevitability. The actual content partially matches this pattern, with a mix of specific geopolitical analysis and speculative claims about hidden agendas. However, the diversity of perspectives and the inclusion of verifiable facts (e.g., Pompeo's statements, BlackRock's investments) suggest a more organic debate rather than a tightly controlled narrative. The presence of contradictory viewpoints further reduces the likelihood of a single, coordinated playbook.
