Yup totally agree but this is going to be on a much bigger scale than Libya. Massive in comparison. Just think of all the war refugees. Will make Syria look like a Sunday picnic. No wonder Europe looks on in Horror.

It'll be like Libya but on a far bigger scale. Massive population compared to Libya.

I think their intent is to bomb Iran into rubble.

BB has pulled off the ultimate coup. He's managed to sucker a US President into doing the dirty work cutting Iran down to a manageable size with the US paying for almost all the costs. The Pentagon loves it of course because they get to "test" out their toys to see how well they work.

The Iranian people pay the highest price. The rest of us pay economically through sky high oil prices.

The US Military blew up a water de-salination plant in Iran. (Yes, I am aware the Iranians retaliated and blew up a water de-salination plant in Bahrain - but I'm sure you'll understand my point). That's arguably a war crime. So I have serious doubts that this war will be "limited in scope". Just look at who is in charge of the military. It tells you all you need to know.

It's the insurance companies who are saying "no way". No insurance, no shipping.

The Iranians are denying the Azerbaijan airport attack and the attack on Saudi oil facilities. Mossad false flag to provoke a war between Azerbaijan and Iran and get the gulf states to be motivated to attack Iran? It could be an Iranian drone hit the Saudi oil facility unintentionally. Its like the Girl's school that was hit in Iran. It looks like it was a target because the building was once used by the Iranian military. Old/stale database data the AI used to pick its targets?

To be clear, I am no fan of the Iran regime. Just trying to keep my head above the BS/propaganda that gets put out/repeated by the news agencies. There are no "good guys" here.

Iran isn't being bombed because the leadership is nasty (terrorist regime). They are being bombed because they are s rival power to Greater Israel expansion, and they are a major oil exporter that doesn't use $US.

The leader of Syria is a Sunni terrorist but he stays in place because he blocks arms shipments through Syria from Iran to Hezbollah. That suits Israel. Israel doesn't care how the Syrian leader treats his own people so long as he continues to disallow arms to Hezbollah from Iran. And the USA goes along with whatever Israel wants.

It has nothing to do with how the Iranian regime treats its own people. Just look at how the Saudi regime treats its people.

As said by others Iran is attacking US Military bases in these countries not the countries themselves.

How big is he?

A lot of us would luv to do the same thing but might find our heads bouncing off the pavement.

To be clear, I applaud your friend.

Iran will end up like Libya but it will be far worse for the world. Massive numbers of refugees. Europe will be flooded with Muslims.

tRump hates Europe but its hard to say if he would see this as a good thing.

There will be no good outcome for anyone except maybe BB.

Exactly. Normally u would think that the Security Services would see tRump as unsuitable for President because he's compromised by a foreign power. However, the Zionists tentacles are deeply embedded within the US Govt including the CIA et al. Schumer deliberately delayed the vote until after this attack because he too is a Zionist. MAGA were deeply naive about the influence the Zionists have on US Govt departments.

Same where i live. In the 90s there were huge cuts to balance the deficit. Then, combined with the rising cost of housing throughout the noughties and after, massive numbers of homeless in tents you never saw before.

Don't forget the people who voted for "Get the Government off the [rich] people's back". Ronald Reagan and every subsequent government since. Neoliberalism. The rest of the Anglosphere followed suit.

It (Neoliberalism) was supposed to re-energize American Capitalism. Instead it gave birth to Rentier-Capitalism. See Brett Christophers for a more detailed analysis.

>this will soon lead to an oversupply of workers and a drop in wages

Precisely. So why are our masters still panicking about population decline and hyping the need for immigration?

If Scotland had won independence and then later invited Russian bases on Scottish soil, would England see that as a threat or "Scotland is an independent nation and can do whatever it wants"?

Since the end of WW2 has their been such immigration numbers?

Also, such numbers from non-western countries post WW2?

Immigration is largely to keep the wages down. Surely you know that.

Why are you repeating neoliberal ownership propaganda?

Leptos? Dioxus?

The USA has a long history of bullying Canada, long before tRump. He's just more blatant and obvious about it.

There is such a concept of carrot and stick. If the USA wants Canada to be a "good" (in the eyes of America) neighbour then for the love of God why don't they start using a carrot instead of the stick?

For the same reason that the USA would go ape-shit if Canada allowed Chinese military bases on Canadian soil.

Given the fact that tRump has threatened Canada it would be justified on Canada's part to invite those military bases but it would definitely antagonize the Americans. Would that be wise?

We're talking Real-Politick here not "how it should be".

They were not offered NATO membership. Putin hinted to Clinton he would like it. Clinton didn't respond. Came back later (after consulting with his staff) and declined the offer.

Putin is smart enough to know that Russia is in no position to be an imperialist power.

The goal of keeping Russia and Europe (Germany) apart is not a secret. Please see Zbigniew Brzezinski.

And I'd like to point out that the Soviets kept Germany divided for a justifiable reason: 27 million Russians died at the hands of Germany's imperial ambitions.

And while we are on the subject of "bullshit", the war in Ukraine did NOT start in Feb 2022. It started long before that.

Not only that it was a USA project. The goal is to keep Europe and Russia apart.

Youre saying dont do a Ukraine?

Don't encroach NATO on their doorstep. Bring Russia into NATO.

USA strategy has been to keep Russia and Germany separated. They fear that combo as a potential rival superpower.

The division of Europe from Russia is exactly what the Americans want.

tRump is a bully. Bullies don't pick on those who are strong enough to fight back. That's why he doesn't say anything about Russia or China. If Russia was in the position it was in the early to mid nineties tRump would very much be bashing Russia.

The Europeans and Canada should take note.

There are two things Canada is guilty of. 1) it spent far too little on its military 2) it trusted the Americans far too much by tying its economy so deeply with the USA.

If you subtract the oil purchased by the USA, Canada has a trade surplus with the USA. A trade surplus that's mostly comprised of finished goods. Canada sells raw materials to the USA and buys finished goods from them.

It is the United States that is the fake friend.

That's what a bully does: beat up on EASY targets.

He "mainlined" Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. That is pure poison for the soul.

Just wait til America is ruled by someone with high intelligence AND tRump's guile.

Fixes: for the love of God, fixed terms for Supreme Court nominees. No?

Do the EU Elite and the Democrats still think that its Putin who is the Evil One?

No matter who u vote for u always get a Neocon. - George Carlin

...and a neoliberal.

All true but what about his proposal to increase defense spending by a Whopping $500 Billion?

Are his supporters 'down' with that?
