Michael Yon may not be the best speaker around but his message is straightforward: Do not get hypnotized by the war rhetoric and rather listen to what they say, depopulation is the agenda, Iran is just the pretext to get "things" done.
It sounds machiavellic but could there be some truth behind this claim? Today, more than 90% of the knowledge to build a nuclear bomb is accessible on the Internet. The only thing missing is Uranium as well as a few technical details which require testing. So almost anyone who cares to know is in fact close to or past this 90% threshold. In the case of Iran, the only limiting factor was the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) actually monitoring the country's stock of fissible material.
Now if you look at the war as a mean to an end, closing the Strait of Hormuz rather that constraining the production of enriched Uranium, then we are obliged to conclude that the war is in fact going quite well. Oil is not flowing nor are fertilizers getting through. And sooner than later, this will have a massive impact on the ability of developing countries to feed their growing populations as we already discussed several times during the last couple of months.
Is Michael Yon right? It may not be the only factor, I personally believe that maintaining the hegemony of the US dollar and putting a brake on the Chinese Silk Road ambitions are two other major objectives but this doesn't invalidate his point which I think has some merit.
And then the beginning of the video is worth watching anyway if you haven't seen the dynamic of the Newton's cradle yet. (Perfectly explained by the conservation of energy by the way, but still fascinating to watch.)
