Upton Sinclair - 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’
This is one of the most sensible statements I have ever read.
BOT
Let’s let Israel fight this themselves. Find out if God is truly on their side.
Your airports will be overwhelmed with arrivals soon😂😅
Don’t test God’s power Even with a simple stone David killed Goliath
God was never on their side...
They do fight themselves. In all their wars only their boots are on the ground
@@gloryekott6914God never like Iran too.
Why does sky turn off comments on corrupt politicians videos
CNN, MSNBC, npr all do that too🤷
Sly news for ya
They're in on it 😮
because theyre biassed
Sky jews
Isn't this the same guy who claimed a while ago that Russia was running out of men and missiles and ukraine was winning? Now they have him on commenting about this?
Understand his chronology he Alway deliver reserve coded msgs
The Russian war against Ukraine is fluid. There are times when Ukraine is winning and there are times when Russian forces are ahead.
He's an expert who can assess conflict situations well. Learn from him and admit that Russia is getting worse.
He is the US propaganda boy.
Russian indeed deteriorating … agree with General
Telling half the story is not journalism, it is blatant propaganda.
The only fact I hear is that 1 ton is 1000KG
Ah yeah and he only just managed to get that right..... although there was a kilo tonne of bullshite.
😂😂😂😂
Actually, 1,000 kg is equivalent to 2,200 not 2,000 which is a ton!
A metric tonne is 1000kg which is the unit the Israelis will be using
@@trekker8033 That's the long and short of it with tons, tonnes etc.
These "experts" haven't a clue
Sky should rename itself to ZNN.
What this guy fails to mention is that Israel didn’t give Iran heads up of its launch hours in advance like Iran did. Iran said before, no more heads up warning.
😂😂😂😂😂iran didnt give any warning, its drones were too slow
Israel will still intercept everything they throw 😂
Actually they did and used the cheepest drones that they had. They spent very little in that attack . Israel and US spent a bilion to stop it @@bambinaforever1402
@@mabhodlelajj1195 Well… we are about to find out.
@@bambinaforever1402 Is that why the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Jordan and Saudi Arabia all rushed in position to help aid Israel in defending against it?? 😂😂😂 And the airbase at Nevatim still got the business after all that help!!! 😂😂😂😂
The strike was conducted with balls out, while simultaneously teabaging the US
😂😂😂😂😂
so that's where the healthcare money goes 😂🤣
I'm in Esfahan . We heard nothing
only time will tell who are god's chosen people 😜🤣
@IranianKiddo that's one way to stay brave 😅😅😅😅😅
This guy has been wrong on everything regarding Ukraine
No he hasn’t.
Such as???
Yes, his wife complains about her apathy. Since marriage, this guy has not engaged himself in any Curricular activities and she leans on housekeeping staff to make a mence. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@LeMerch yeah. Ukraine is "winning"...right?
@@LeMerchyes he has like all the MSM media they haven't informed us on the usa coup in Ukraine in 2014
Who's the commentator? Stated Iran went all in and failed the recent attack is dumb. They literally prep the whole region to intercept it.
No one ever on history intercepted ballistic missiles, 120 of then, not to mention the drones and cruise missiles. So your assumption is wrong.
Classical Iranian propaganda 😂 ... if they are successful than "we executed as planned" and if they fail... the same
@@urilahat8090 no one in history struck Israeli airbases so successfully either. The drones were decoys to exhaust Israeli air defenses which they successfully did and paved the way for those ballistic missiles that followed them and struck those air bases. It took four countries to stop that attack yet they managed to hit their targets so yeah quite successful i'd say.
@@urilahat8090 The Israelis had iron dome, sling, arrow, patriots in Jordan, f-35's in the air, US, RAF and Jordans air force to help and yet missiles still got through. Not a single video showing any damage in Iran at this stage.
I agree. The entire conversation was a lot more salient than I expected on MSM, but that specific point I agree is likely rubbish. Iran knew Israel has great air defense. It was a symbolic strike that 1) safes face and 2) gives them intel on anti-air capabilities.
Propaganda at the highest level 🤣🤣🤣
How are we so sure what propaganda is? Maybe so, which i feel will lead us closer to the sands of time than anything.
Am I reading too much between the lines? Did israel just attacked Iran from inside Iran itself?
Yes.
For the media to relentlessly cite Iran’s proxies and completely fail to see the tentacles of the Zionist proxies (around the world, not only in the ME and Iran itself) is laughable!
Neither the taliban nor the Islamic State attacked foreign embassies. Israel does. so who's the biggest terrorist here?
yeah, everyone's playing it down but what Israel did is awfully frightening to everyone. The U.S. and Israel have some crazy technologies compared to Iran, and I think they found out they have no leverage right now.
Yes, they have Mossad operatives, who are Iranian dissidents most-likely
I have a best friend in Isfahan spoke to him he said only three drone shut down loud explosion Iranian air defense, nothing happened and I was watching Iranian TV shows everywhere in Isfahan people was doing normal rotating please do not lie and cause war between Iran and Israel let people live in peace forever, I hope one day no more hate between two government. I pray to God, bring us peace forever.
Ironically, Asfahan is Iran's New York (the capital of jews in iran)
Lmao. Israel didn't use drones.
please do not tell that to anyone else . . 😅😄 That was the plain to make media claim that israel has succeeded attack on iran making people fool now a days is not that simple. . The full media support towards israel from west and usa 😂
Fake news
Iranian TV would not be providing accurate information.
I think esrael got the message from iran thats why this limitted strike wich has no meaning
Humanity evolving backwards😢
Blame religion
they waiting for alien to attack earth then only humanity to be together
Why did no-one say this while Iran was blatantly for years attacking Israel via proxies and now direct???
Its called devolving. Lern teh engrish.
@@bad_boy8269 Maybe it was a typo. That happens a lot online.
Wrong. The building containing the Iranian generals who were killed by an Israel strike in Damascus was just OUTSIDE the offical Iranian embassy compound
It was the annex to consulate....so the part of it
@@carlosleonard6050 No , the extent of an embassy is exactly defined because it is technically Iranian soil The annex was an annex as the name suggests It was not Iranian soil
Neither the taliban nor the Islamic State attacked foreign embassies. Israel does. so who's the biggest terrorist here?
The same analyst who said Ukraine was advancing and winning the war in Eastern Europe
Better to listen to Scott Ritter
I mean they did advance, they pushed Russia out of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson. Then the West did the usual Western thing and had dysfunctional politics..
How many Russia forces have died ?
@@watershedmetal2 They didn't, Russia left those areas under the agreement that there would be a diplomatic solution for the Donbas. The UK PM Johnson went to Kiev and ordered Zelensky to breach the deal and restart hostilities.
Western normies love being lied to by their own media stations. Wait I thought Ukraine was winning. Next minute Isreal will be a car park. F around and find out.
Iran not stupid, these drones sent to scout Iranian defence positions.
Defence postures, more likely.
where is the condemnation ?
exactly
both as bad as each other so nobody cares.
I'm pretty sure Netanyahu's aim was never just to do a tit for tat against Iran or to just send a message, but to escalate the war so that the world's focus shifts away from Gaza. I don't care what Iran's strategy was, but Netanyahu not getting the escalation he wanted is a win for everybody in the world.
It wasn't a compound, it was a diplomatic consulate.
Comeon guys "Please Stop The WAR" Really fedup.
The World is fed up with America War Mongers.
@@Sir_Sway war monger need to make money right. haishh
Blame USA
This is not war it is US Business, saling weapons plus making economic routes and relations to get money
Stop? Its just about to get worse
military official in Isfahan, has confirmed earlier reports, stating that the loud sounds heard in the east of Isfahan were related to the air defense system being triggered by three small drones
cap.
Wrong..missile strike. Don't lie
@@richardbbaale4044 If Israel still exists then I am going to believe the Iranians that it was drones - they are not genetic liars like the Jews...
@@richardbbaale4044Tell to show evidence of launching 😄😄😄😄😄
*IRAN HAD PROMISED TO RETALIATE WITHIN A "FEW SECONDS" 🎯 IRAN'S FEW SECONDS = 12 DAYS* 🤡🎈🤡
The same man who was saying Ukraine is winning
When it comes to the so called "big picture" they are. I believe your statement is based solely on recent battles and encounters where Russian forces are making minor but steady gains. The congress vote expected on the 20th April will reverse those recent trends and the Ukrainians will push on to a final victory.
He's an expert in lying !
Don't see much sign of Ruzzia winning....
Well Russia is running out men we all know this
I wonder what will happen if Iran decides not to escalate. Will we all put our focus back on the Palestinians or will this exchange of rockets end up having diverted the attention away from the Palestians all together?
Sensible views and analysis from the guest and respectful handling by the interviewer. Good work!
This guy has no idea.
What's your analysis? Upload it to KZhead.
@@tko8218 dude good one. i don't know why these bots hate mike clarke
It's because he made it in to the algorithm used but the Russian bots. Any video of him on Sky News now ends up with hundreds of the same 4 comments.
Alright, here we go, humanity loves war!
Love Michael Clarke's analyses! ♥️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱✝️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 NEVER AGAIN IS RIGHT NOW!!!!
I thought Ali was gonna do a barn dance with his hands on his hips doing the Macarena 😂🤣
Clarke wouldn't know. He doesn’t even know the strategic supply routes in Ukraine.
It is always amusing to watch how incompetent this so called expert is!
He played a key role in the destruction of Ukraine with his lies
Just BS.
His analysis of Ukraine has been hilarious. Nothing but propaganda
Speaks well, can explain concepts well, would be awesome for some long documentary on WW1 and 2, or as a premium tour guide for the battlefields in France and Belgium, but biased as hell.
The whole of Brittan is incompetent
How about if Australian embassy has been attack and killed seven of your citizen. What is the response of Australia?
Now drones could have been used. Nowadays drones aren't used to deliver damage. But to help distract from the main missiles that will be delivering the payloads.
Now isrel will cry and ask 15 countries to support them
Israel never cries ! They are SO resilient and adaptable !
Absolutely nothing happened.
When Iran says it’s drones and blocked it is “downplayed” but When Israel block drones it worked and salutes to IDF 😂😂 your double standards are pathetic
Let the chosen people fight their own fights. US did the heavy lifting. Iranians sent old tech. Listen to Scott Ritter not these clowns.
US wants to know what weapon iran have in their kitty ❤
Except this attack doesnt appear to have happened at all. No evidence? Not one video in a world where evertyone has a camera in their pockets?
Lol, pissy little rockets 🚀 😂
Iran is no threat to the USA.
@@jackempson3044this isn't the 90s
@@rhyceise9000yes, Iran is not.
These journalists are so rubbish. To watch a proper analysis by the experts in in the field, listen to Scott Ritter.
Haha. Ritter knows nothing.
is any one seen Israel missile hit in to the Iranian territory ? Any Videos🤔
We must wait. Don’t be impatient !
US NEWS-Agencies are controlled by israelis and they spread a lot FAKE NEWS.
Why would there be videos of that?
@@timburns6423 How can i believe, because we can't believe any media organisation in this world . Everything is propaganda, They work for government not for people
@@anitamurkes9511 OK, I will wait
A jolly good bit of reporting!
Who is the interviewer here ?
How does this guy know what missiles were used
He doesn’t he is just talking out of his rear end Had those missiles been used for sure people would have seen them launch Israel is a tiny country can’t launch a ballistic missile into the night sky and none sees it
He also knew that Ukraine was going to take back Crimea during their 'counter offensive' 😂😂😂
and he assumes no drones were sent🤣
allowing any one to say they are superior, by GOd,.... phew...
There we go, hear the headlines wait for M Clark to give the details. Main man
3:12 Better hope nobody else confuses kilograms and kilotons. Especially the guy loading the plane.
awful reporting
Why, because it doesn’t chime with your pro Palestine view of the world? lol
Oops. 1000 kilotons 😂. Israeli nukes are a bit smaller than that.
1000 kilo =2000lbs or one ton
He's right. The distance between Israel and Iran is 3.14kW and a drone could carry only about 5 bananas...
Informative news among all
This world is going mad , can't we all live in peace.
No money in that, which is why it's impossible in the current order.
Israelis spent over a billion dollars on the single day of Persia's response. The Persians sent those drones to be sacrificed, obviously to learn the location of the Iron Dome, and other air defence batteries.
FM of Iran said, if Israel makes a mistake again, there will be an immediate maximum response from Iran. Ish about to hit the fan. In other words, get ready! What's the motive here?..
Biden : don’t Israel & Iran : yes
Bidens uncle said "don't" to the cannibals.
Israel not iran.. Iran said we don’t want war.. Obviously someone does 😏 Now bear consequences
Biden fund Iran trough UN
Biden: don't Iran: Cool by me. Wow, I can't believe we are on the same side, it's been a long time. Israel: We have to defend Israel from being destroyed by Iran, fire the missles! Iran: Hey, how come we are getting sanctions?!? We are following international law, they bombed our embassy. Biden: Israel's probably going to cost me the election. Better send out the surrogates to talk about how Trump failed to implement a Muslim ban and how that's worse than having a huge war in the Middle East. That'll convince people!
@@fireinthehole0072Iran attacked first via proxys
Retaliations will eventually lead to war.
It was outside the embassy though 6:26
Israel already got the message that Iran can do more decisivly if it wants .
Iran knows that the Israeli air defense systems are "best in class". That is why, as Michael Clarke explained, they have to send hundreds of drones and missiles whereas Israel only needs to send a few. That is not a good situation for the Iranian religious junta to be in. Their missiles always get through, very few of ours ever will!!
@@marviwilson1853best in class? 🤣 Israel is losing to Hamas
@@devoncoleman3149 Israel is a nuclear power. Hamas fights its wars with stones, sling shots and catapults!
the speaker clearly doesnt know nothing about the iranian air defense systems.
Just confirmed: was fireworks and then they said: haha made ya blink
Did he say that 7 missiles got through to Nevatim airbase? Seven missiles hit one airbase?
Did US/UK/Fr/Jordan shoot down any Israeli Drones? 🙄
Israel is silent because (1) it didn’t do anything. Local anti regime group did it, and Israel is an indirect beneficiary (2) itself too weak, too lame, a dud, that its embarrassing to sign your initials on it.
Clarke is great.
Iran has called it: A score draw
A lot of will depend on how much the damage will look like ? Iranian retaliation
It was just a warning saying “Watch it we were and here “.
Apparently there has been no attack and the sound of explosion (no actual explosion) was due to the activation of Iranian air defence system in response to some tiny flying objects probably domestic local drones
That's what Iran is saying to avoid having to retaliate. Iran knows Israel has EU, US support and Israel also managed to hit the airforce base in Isfahan. Iran failed to hit its targets
@@TitanMoon746 That is not true! US has confirmed that it would not help Israel if it decided to attack Iran. The Israeli attack is propaganda as there has been no actual explosion in Iran and the sound of the explosion was due to air-defence activation in response to some tiny flying objects probably local drones or as part of a military exercise in case of a real attack one day!
Psy-Ops can be effective when done correctly.

I'm a big fan of the recently promoted Yalda Hakim. She has a brilliant mind as well as other fine attributes, and thoroughly deserves such an unforgettable foreign assignment. Believe her people come from Afghanistan. And Michael Clarke ? - one of the very best.
@@roxximusik8958 Yalda, herself came from Afghanistan. She was born there.
Israel gives lran a gentle punch ,and says please dont hit us back . All it seems to appease the fool in the Whitehouse . Israel must go it alone because dealing with this current Whitehouse, fosters only mistake after mistake .
This won't stop.
The Jews were suppressed and were the underdog for 2,000 years in today's Israel, that changed only last century. Russia is not threatened by invasion and will not use nuclear weapons but Israel is very different. Israel will use nuclear weapons to protect their existence if they have to. The Chinese, who are sponsoring Iran and the Houtis to destabilise the world in order to create a new world order, are misjudging this badly. I hope China realises before it is too late. Israel will not end the world but they will defend their country with what they have, if they have to. Including nuclear weapons
Best analysis so far
Very good Aussie batsman 🏏
Let PEACE prevail! Let each life on this earth be protected... In war, no one wins... sadly many many people lose ... their dear ones... 🙏

Professor Michael Clarke said Russia only had enough munitions for 5 weeks and that as over 2 years ago. What happened?
They had to go begging to Iran and China for more. At the time that was not known although probably predictable.
@@marviwilson1853 That was about 1 year after the 5 weeks. I'm sorry the Professor has no idea.
@@mchughcb Well I think he does.
@@marviwilson1853 The only people believing what he says are POMs from the UK. Nobody else in the world believes what he says.
Let them fight it out without any outside support. The US, China, and Russia should all agree to stay out of this.
It is like a cuddle
Things looks calmer, ye right
They we're shot out of the sky nothing happend the bs propaganda machine is on
really? where can this information be found?
Iran has the right to defend itself.
Let it diffend but it started by its proxes
@@paulvimbamvula9508 English please.

These are certainly the longest “seconds,” Iran 😂😂😂
Allister Bumhole?
this will end badly for everyone
Apparently it has happened and apparently has not happened. Which is true?
Yes
That’s the clever way of reducing escalation from the Iranians. They hit but are playing it down
Iran attacked us embassy in iran so there are no rules in war really
Stop the fighting there are many precious lives..let people live in peace
Iran has Hypersonic missiles Isreal does`nt nor does the U S A or Britain .
Brits have laser. And nukes
@@lolzkigaming8491 Your watching too many Games the Laser is so far only on the Drawing board perhaps Britain will have one in the Future and Iran could make a Nuke in six weeks as an American expert recently stated but the Iranians think they are a cr4ime against Humanity.
certainly probably not confirmed almost certainly very unlikely
Let's say Iran would respond with more powerful arsenal this time. Iran know the US is watching their movement Maxar satellite is all over them. They don't even have the satellite or GPS on their own. The only country who can match the US is Russia. Iran should Ally with Russia period.
always good to hear analysis from professor, clear and informative unlike the others
I'm in ESFAHAN lol we heard nothing 😂
IRGC bot. Iran army is a joke
Cope
your country is on a bad path with your current leaders.

Didn't Nostradamus say that Armageddon was going to start in the Middle East..... scary 😳
Also it was written in the bible.
Bible has the most number of fulfilled of prophecy
nostradamus is irrelevant.
It wasnt an embassy or a consulate on damascus more lies from sky
Israel allies say it was. UK ambassador say Israel did not take responsibility of the attack Which is it? 🙄
Nations of the world should be united to protect every nation--big or small from aggression. The world must form one superstate alliance.
What about the sewage spill in the uk rivers killing all the fish China to blame. Why doesn’t Leeds city council clean the streets instead of local residents doing there job criminals who get community service should do it not clean burial sites sky news is so boring
Why does Izrail always have to respond. Why does it always have to have the upper hand. I’m afraid it’s going to destroy the world because it’s leaders emotionally instability.
The only non Islamic state in the Middle East, it's policy has always been to show no weakness.
Its to deter future aggression - see if it works or backfires
It's Israel, by the way 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
They aren't responding. They are the aggressor.
Israel sent 5 drones towards Iran in retaliation for 331 DRONES and MISSILES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Israel sent drones from inside Iran. Not from Israel
They are terafy.
A thousand kiloton warhead? Are we going nuclear here? 😄😄😄
If this attack was so significant then why airspace of Iran is still active. Same American disinformation. I guess responsible reporting is needed
looks like israel chickened out.. tiny iran has established strategic parity with israel + nato.. & its done this without even testing nuclear weapons lol
Iran sent over 300 missiles to Israel, now Israel sent only 3 drones. Next Iran will send 600. Just watching
Israel sent only 6 and they got through . Iran sent 350 and none got through. It is a warning shot. They can destroyed Iran if they want . Iran has no effective air defenses.
Israel is supported by US, UK and France
But if the war escalate Israel Will lose air defence systems and from there, Israel will automatically become a Third World country
