Both Russia and China have made it clear that neither will abandon ally Iran in its urgent time of need. China sent several large mystery shipments and Russia hosts the Iranian president in Moscow.
The thought of going to war is scary. The process Donald Trump used to decide to bomb Iran is scary, too. What does it foretell for future life-and-death decisions?
Years as Mark Sleboda states will be the duration of this bloody hell in Ukraine and now carried deep into Russia.
I just love your denuding of the actual DEATHS of innocents in Tehran and elsewhere. That is the sickness of being armchair whatever you call yourself.
Oh, the USA, Nato, Fourteen Eyes, and many more, have the upper upper sadistic hand:
At present, it has become customary to speak of NATO’s expansion “towards Eastern Europe”, which, while effective, is a reductionist concept. The truth is that since the end of the bipolar world, the United States, believing itself to be the master of the world, has used NATO to expand throughout the planet. Proof of this is the signing of the AUKUS Treaty (Australia, United Kingdom and United States), the creation of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) formed by Australia, India, Japan and the United States and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia) as instruments of NATO’s military expansion in Asia and Oceania.
The same is happening in Latin America and the Caribbean, where the United States is initiating an aggressive expansion plan throughout all latitudes and longitudes of the region. The following three installments will provide data to confirm the above assertion.
From the Atlantic ocean to the shores of the Gulf, US military bases stretch across the Arab world like the fangs of a “modern” colonial beast. Under false slogans like “cooperation,” “stability,” and “protection”, these outposts have long masked their true purpose. These bases are nothing less than military occupations, brazen, shameless, and no different in essence from traditional colonialism. No free people would ever tolerate a foreign military presence imposed on their land, against their will and dignity.
Over 40,000 US troops are now stationed across at least 19 military bases and outposts in the Arab homeland, a number that has doubled in recent years. From al-Udeid base in Qatar, now a command hub for regional wars, to the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, invasion platform in Kuwait, air installations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and covert sites in Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, the Arab land has become a launchpad for attacks on our peoples. These bases operate as spy centers, weapons depots defending the Zionist entity, and tools of domination to control our economies and politics. They are supported by mobile warships in our waters, and anchored by the largest outpost of them all: the Israeli entity itself.
The US, British, and French bases are not mere concrete structures or weapons stockpiles. They are the spearhead of the US-Zionist domination project. From those very bases, strikes are launched on Iran and Yemen. From them, security coordination is managed to weaken resistance in Palestine and Lebanon. Inside their walls, spy networks are built, normalization deals are signed, and the maps of devastation are drawn, just as they were when our region was carved up in the past, only now with even more destruction.
