Radio War Nerd EP #616 — Iran War Meltdown Follies

Recorded: June 25, 2026

We pore through a few representative clips of this current moment. That moment being the US capitulation to Iran, the freakout from Trump's pro-Israel corner, and the US political class slowly but loudly peeling away from Israel...

The FDD guy I have to wonder if he is so lost in the sauce that he actually believes anything he is saying. Or if he continues to create alternate realities to propagandize to the gullible and the ignorant.

Oh man. Punishment for getting it right is something I experience all too often in corporate America.

No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for Israel and its supporters. So far as I am concerned, they are lower than vermin. (Paraphrasing slightly.)

It's good to see John Podhoretz being discussed again. One of Chapo Trap House's funniest bits was eviscerating him for being a big fat stupid manchild treat ogre. He's a joke even to other conservatives. Apparently there was a ritual at some right-wing rag he worked at called "Podenfreude" where they'd gather around to read his columns aloud and laugh at him. Even by the standards of American conservatives, Podhoretz is an idiotic narcissistic nepotism case.

I would take the bet the MOU will be broken by the US after the midterms…

Just curious, how many of you are familiar with Giant Bomb? Gaming stuff, not war shit. Saw in my feed recommendation for Jeff Gerstman, saying it's popular with War Nerd followers. Either War Nerds think Giant Bomb is actual bomb, or Patreon is straight up lying to me.

Rubio's quiet because he's got the Cuba portfolio. That's next.

American oil companies are making out like bandits and everyone else is boned. Russia having its capacity blown up recently doesn’t help the global supply shortage either.

As the U.S. has known for over century, terrorism works.

to put it in blunt terms, for every spicy House Rep who bucks the Israel lobby in the US there's a Palestine Action activist who gets 50 years in the dungeon in the UK for Terrorism Misdemeanor Property Damage at Elbit Systems

LET ME DELETE MY ACCOUNT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES · June 28, 2026

Trump always Chickens Out is just such a dumb American liberal take. You want this guy to kill children or hes a coward? Its just such a braindead take. It appeals to the fact Democrats "stuck in there" bogged down in their quagmires as something to have pride in.

So happy I got to hear the neocon meltdown. I even tried watching the podcast but couldn’t last more than 5 min

Joyce Carol Oates was the author Mr Dolan couldn't remember I believe. She said, "All we hear of ISIS is puritanical & punitive; is there nothing celebratory & joyous? Or is query naive?"

Holy fuck I can't believe anyone would think that leg alone send it out to the world

I agree that Vance was kind of set up for failure. However, if Israel lobby types are screaming now like they are in public, you can only imagine what it must be like through more private channels. I see Rubio's actions with Lebanon and his trip to GCC this week as a pretty clear attempt to sabotage the MOU. Rubio is a snake in the grass. He also appears to be surrounded by highly competent advisors and is willing to listen to them. Based on Trump's actions over the past month he appears to be highly resistant to re-starting the war before the November elections. However, I think there is going to be significant pressure for him to do so after November.

John Podhoretz is mad Trump didn’t bomb Schnippers

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis · June 28, 2026

People like Poederoetz and Lake are deranged clowns that play to an audience of cultists and no one else, but the much more sinister and smarter rebrand going on is led by J Street, liberal Zionists and anti Zionists in name only, who’s policy proposals in many cases are to the right of Netanyahu, like ceasing “offensive weapons” shipments to Israel, whereas Netanyahu wants to move away from direct weapons shipments in entirety. They want to create “coalitions between anti-Zionists and liberal Zionists” and in doing so pull anti Zionists toward liberal Zionism, an oxymoron since Zionism by its nature is a belief in an ethnosupremacist volkisch state.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis · June 28, 2026

The correct policy we should be pushing would be a total embargo and anyone not pursuing this is likely a lying snake and a liberal Zionist.

CR · June 28, 2026

Remember. Americans only turned on Israel because we hate losers more than anyone. If they had won, everyone in Seattle would be wearing Ayatollah Assahola tees. Meanwhile, the democrats remain the most anti democratic organization that I have ever seen or dealt with. Fuck them. I don’t support people reforming it. I want it gone.

Hard disagree. I don't think anyone was saying, "interesting tent filled with children being burned alive, but who's winning?"

how funny start JPod and Eli Lake are making neocon reaction video content. Like the war is the NBA trade deadline

I can think of fewer places that deserve to suffer more than Northern Europe. Fuck them. If they want to stay cool, they can go to North Korea.

Eli Lake. Don't judge a book by it's cover, when he opens his mouth it's 10000x fucking worse

Eli Lake’s face/demeanor/whole thing is antisemitic. I’m glad they don’t put him on TV much

I was afraid that was JD for a second. It’s certainly encouragement to get some sun.
