Nonsense. The returning Israelites were provided with EVERYTHING they needed.....and more.
Gold silver bronze vessels and implements, animals (for sacrifices) grain wine oil and military protection and tons of other support.

Here’s a detailed table summarizing everything the Persian kings provided to the returning Israelites during Ezra and Nehemiah’s missions, based on the biblical records:
CategorySpecificsBiblical Reference
Precious metals & temple vesselsGold, silver, bronze, and vessels formerly belonging to Solomon’s TempleEzra 1:4-7; 6:3-5
Animals for sacrificesBulls, rams, lambs, male goats for sin, burnt, and thanksgiving offeringsEzra 6:17; Nehemiah 10:33
Food suppliesGrain, wine, oil for priests, Levites, and offeringsEzra 6:9-10; Nehemiah 13:5
Timber & construction materialsTimber from Lebanon for the Temple, gates, and wallsEzra 3:7
Military protectionOfficial letters granting safe passage and security from local enemiesEzra 7:21-23; Nehemiah 2:7-9
Tax & labor exemptionsExemption from taxes, tribute, and forced labor for the Temple and its personnelEzra 7:24; Nehemiah 5:13
Administrative/judicial authorityEzra authorized as priest and scribe to interpret the Law, appoint magistrates, and judge the peopleEzra 7:25-26
Financial support for officials & workersMoney, silver, and goods for local governors, priests, and LevitesEzra 6:8-10
Letters of authorizationDocuments ordering local rulers to help the exiles, restore property, and not interfereEzra 7:12-20; Nehemiah 2:7-9
Personal gifts for encouragementGifts to individuals such as Ezra, including silver, gold, and provisions for travelEzra 7:15-17

Summary: The kings didn’t just give money or animals—they created a full support system: legal authority, military protection, tax exemptions, building materials, administrative power, and daily provisions. This shows how seriously the Persian empire backed the return and restoration.

None of the above is military support. Passage papers authorized the Jews to travel through the various provinces of the kingdom to their land.

Surely you can't be this clueless
Israel was divided into two kingdoms, the southern kingdom was known as Judah and the Northern kingdom was known as "Israel" or "Ephraim". So yes, it is perfectly reasonable to see that Israel today is two kingdoms, the smaller one with two tribes is what we call Israel today and the bigger one with ten tribes is the USA. Surely you can't be this clueless that you cannot see the types and shadows.

Not only so but Joseph's blessing from Israel was that of scientists. He had two sons, the double blessing. Manasseh, the older one will serve the younger. Originally Germany was the world leader in science, but at the time of WW2 the Jews moved to the US and from that time the US became the world leader in science. So to say the US is the younger son, Ephraim, is perfectly reasonable. Surely you can't be this clueless that you haven't figured that out.

Nonsense. They DEFINITELY had military protection.
In fact without the THREAT of military intervention on their behalf, there is absolutely no way that they could have accomplished their mission.
 
I don't think Tucker has been a Christian for long, if he even is one, but he has more spiritual discernment that Christians who have forsaken Christ to follow the pharisees
I agree, I was surprised that he had that spiritual insight.
Someone said he was Catholic.
A few years ago, he was attacked by a demon. He talked about it in an interview with Alex Jones.
Since then, he has openly said that he believes in God and the supernatural. That said, I don't recall him giving any clear testimony of him trusting Christ as his Savior. I pray that a kind soul winner will knock on his door and lead him to Christ.

Who is gaining weight on this operation? The West? The East? Russia?

No oil from the gulf, who’s benefiting from that?

Russia!

That good or bad?
Good question but a terrible conclusion. Don't get too lost in their benefits to the rise in oil prices, they don't have many people to sell that too now that Trump got the Europeans to stop double-dealing so much last year. And China demands special deals of course so they're not going to pay Putin the marketprice. I think after epica trolling around Russkie "intelligence" with the US Navy Skibidi Toilet story that it's quite obvious Russia isn't benefitting at all, they're only too keenly aware how much they're losing and already have lost. What's great is we totally intended all of it too and more. It's another topic on here I hesitate to jump in on since it's already pretty long, but I read from time to time, but consider how this makes them either have to end war in Ukraine soon or they'll lose the war of attrition as they lose their drones. It's not an immediate effect, but now they're on a timetable, they'll feel the crunch in this coming Spring and Summer for sure. To actually answer the question though secularly Iran itself benefits the most it's rid of a wicked cult regime that massacred 30,000 people and get a potential fresh page to reset their foreign policy. More religiously, the answer is the Imperium of the Saints benefits the most, another very major satanic principality is thrown down, praise Jesus.


Or if you want some more bland videos but pretty exciting reading material:



 
Is Tucker some kind of authority around here?
I never waste my valuable time listening to that quack.
I subscribed to his channel.
He's interviewed senators and people who are knowledgeable about the war. I don't see him as an expert, but he asked the right questions of some experts IMHO. That's why I post some short vids when they make me think.

That’s a fairly good analysis, but the problem is that Iran has a system where the executive powers are spread all over the country. Trump should have groomed the opposition before the attacks. Now that the operation is on he has to demolish the entire Iranian powers.

Lol actually its system was concentrated in one, the cult structure of the Ayatollah. This however got scattered indeed in a very physical and metaphysical way when the Assembly of Experts building blew up. Again the one mistake was leaving Pezeshkian alive since he can restart the selection process of the Ayatollah. Techncially he needed Ejei to do it too so even the legitimacy of Moosh-Taba is already tarnished. Now if you kill Pezeshkian before Moosh-Taba dies of his wounds or a another shot to put him down, their cult is kaput, any future claimant to be able to communicate withthe mahdi is merely a pretender. This is the critical moment to return Pahlavi and support him and his transitional government idea.

Oh and to edit in real quick, don't forget Larijani either.

Ding! Where are our polite little green men?
Galadriel's selective memory must have forgotten how Lindsey Graham and Prince Reza Pahlavi were the high iq keynote speakers at the Munich Security Conference last month (I noted it pages back when it happened). It's quite forgiveable though as in fairness AOC's valley girl flub did steal the show so to speak.

Well, there is an opposition, and potential leadership; but if there is a element connecting/organizing those 2 things it is not openly visible for the world to see at the present time. The various media paint a picture of multiple unrelated and disconnected suitors competing for Iran's affections without actually doing anything to woo her.

Trump and crew have groomed the opposition and advanced a tangible framework for an acceptable transition. It's simply misleading, i think intentionally just for TDS, to suggest it is not prepared for. Think beyond Trump the whole admin has been in on this, you can ignore Trump if he bothers you too much. While yes then as SD points out actual execution of the plan is different, but the nuance here is we do have a plan, and it's not just a pie in the sky plan either, it has been worked on and refined, its a solid framework and also vast spiritual forces neccessary to provide legitimacy and therefore true authority are also present. While yes until anything happens it takes some faith, this isn't like a blind faith, it's not actually so unthinkable that this can happen and also be positive as well. May Iran be free, praise Jesus.
