As you said before Scott, Trump is at least honest about what he wants, in the same way a child sees candy/sweets or toys and excitedly jumps up and down, pointing to the items of desire whilst annoying the hell out of the parent by their incessant 'I want! I want! I want!!', as they tug, weep, and act in a manner that should see them bent over a knee and ... well I dare not say it, but I think you get the picture.

I wish fervently however that there was a 'parent' that would put Trump over their knee and spank some discipline and empathy into this violent, arrogant, spoilt child of 'peace'. I really do not want to see Iran harmed. Like Russia, they have been subjected to hate from the West since before I was born, and over time, just as with Russia, I have come to see a different version, a true version of these countries, a version that fills me with respect and awe, not hate and derision.

I really hope that Iran is able to defend itself properly, and stamp out the machinations against them (I think you will have a much better understanding of what is possible than I), just as I wish and cheer Russia on towards a very necessary victory, but saying that, I don't wish for the death or harm of Americans, or Iranians, Russians, Ukrainians, or anyone, even though I hate the political reality in America, and indeed my own country the UK.

I am sick of the lies told about these nations, the false histories, the constant undermining by the CIA, MI6, and many other spook entities who seem intent on doing the very work of the Devil, lying to their own people, narcissistically projecting the very things they are guilty of onto others, all for the purpose of controlling their resources and people. All for the sake of Empire, a concept that needs to be left in the past, and never revisited.

It is all about undermining BRICS, about saving the petro-dollar, and Global conquest. I know there are plenty who would say I'm being naive, and point to this or that to tar the entire Iranian nation with the same brush, indeed I have to put up with such from even friends who think we, the West, have the right to change other countries, to Police them and not ourselves - to those I say remember Jesus's words - and here I am paraphrasing -

'Why do you seek to remove the Straw from your Brother's eye, yet ignore the rafter in your own? First remove the rafter from your own eye, that you may see clearly how to help your brother remove the straw from his'. No doubt I will get kick-back for daring to apply those words to this, but those words are true (even if I didn't quote them verbatim, the meaning is the same).

I really hope that Russia, and China will step up, and help to protect Iran against the West's lawless desires, indeed I wish all those countries that fear American led aggression and greed against them would unite, and send the West a message that cannot be ignored, regardless of religion, and even rivalries, as they should know by now that they are next.

I, like Putin, wish to see a Multi-Polar World with all our different cultures celebrated, respected, and keeping our noses out of other's business. I wish to see a World that obeys, respects, and lives by law.

Every nation was born from chaos, and grew into law, and without it no nation can be a nation, no peoples a people. Lawlessness is the antithesis of society, of unity, of nationhood. No group can exist without it, no country can, and neither can this Planet. If it is everyone for themselves, and might is right, or my way is the only way, we lose the best of ourselves, and we lose the best that life has to offer.

Well said. I believe you speak for an increasingly large minority if not a majority of Americans. Our numbers are growing.

The genocide in the Holy Land has ripped the mask off the hideous face of Western imperialism’s false narratives about US foreign policy. The murder of American citizens and legal residents by Trump’s masked ICE gestapo thugs is revealing to ever larger audiences here at home and abroad that the Trump administration is a criminal organization acting outside of Constitutionality.

This lawlessness cannot and will not continue. The Trump administration is now like a rabid animal caught in a trap chewing its own leg off.

If the American people do not act to restore respect for our Constitution and the legitimate rule of law to the machinery of our desperate, increasingly despotic government, other nations will certainly bring official Washington up short.

Decency, integrity, honesty, truth, justice and mercy are universal values. Genocide is a deal breaker. The universe does not smile upon men who rape and slaughter the innocent.

Blessed are the peacemakers. Fac Recteneminem Time: The meek shall inherit the world of the Cross.

I will second that! The zionist demon knew that a military attack on Iran would be its demise, so the attack was by "soft power" - another "color revolution" fully facilitated by the economic sanctions. The deep fear in The West of other nations fulfilling their right to sovereignty is the basis of the (now failing) Unipolar world. Bring it on!

Well said! I was blinded with lies, but now I can see very clearly the evil produced by the Western empire. I agree with you - this must be stopped! War is raging on several levels, including information war, and here we must do our part. It is our duty to defend humanity, we owe this to our ancestors and, above all, to our descendants.

Consider the level of psychopathy that our leadership manifests at all levels. This cannot be fixed at the ballot box nor can their pathology be fixed by medical intervention. Things are going wild weasel now. It cannot be stopped.

Any anti-government protestors should take a look at Ukraine 2014 Maidan protests and think of where that has led that failed nation of their Western backed regime change....

Thank you, Scott. Personally, I’d like to see something like a “Council for Democracy and World Peace” headed by you, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Glenn Greenwald and Col. Douglas MacGregor, where the four of you meet online every so often for a multi-hour discussion and issuance of policy recommendations you all agree on. It could turn into a political party - although alternative candidates can be divisive and counterproductive under the current undemocratic methods of holding elections - the main thing would be a unified movement of sanity which a good number of people would support in various ways. “United we stand, divided we fall!”

It will be worth to add some other folks, Scott included...

Whereas a movement headed by one leader is too dependent on that person, a movement headed by too large a council is subject to slow decision making (especially since there’s so much confusion with regard to how collective decisions should be made, how elections should be held), fracturing, infiltration, etc. I think the ideal number depends on who stands out in the situation, who is most charismatic, and the synergy those people have with each other. If the four I mentioned can mostly agree on a wide range of recommendations, I think we’d be off to a great start.

History never repeats itself either as pure tragedy or farce, because the imperialists are far too “clever,” to fool some of the people some of the time, their option is to fool all of the people all of the time. The question remains: will it take 64 years before the public know what is happening in Iran today? Google AI has volunteered not to throw up its usually dense impenetrable fog of kitchen sink data, and instead given some straightforward answers to the following two questions:

1) How was the 1953 coup in Iran organised by the CIA and British intelligence?

2) How did the mob leaders and street gangs organise demonstrations and street violence in the 1953 Iranian coup?

Current protests occuring in Iran would prove otherwise. Not so Scott. Destablizing states is something the USA ans Israel excel at. If what is happening in Gaza can't deter nations of the world of how uncaring Western leaders and thier citizenry are toward basic humanitarian rights than what is happening in Iran, in Gaza, in many Africian and S. America countriews are harbingers of a pandemic of ethno nationalism. We need to vax up cause its spreading fast.

"Ethno nationalism" is the only way to defend a nation against Western empire, aka globalists who want us to be slaves without identity. I like my nationality. My language and culture are special, and so are yours.

Jazzme's avatar

go for it! bask in your ethno nationalistic hegamony of others that live in your community surround

Again, what is the common denominator of all those volatile acts we are seeing today?

Tatjana's avatar

For the last decades, it has always been interference of Western secret services Western empire. They have been even bragging about it! (See Homeland series.) Western empire must fall, I am sick of those Western psychos who call themselves "elites"! They're scum, not elites!

Wherever China is implementing it's 'Belt and Road' initiative, the USA (via CIA) is sabotaging.

In Pakistan they kill Chinese engineers, in Myanmar the area of road-sea connection is sabotaged by orchestrated Rohinja uprising, in Ukraine and Iran the rail connection to Europe is disrupted by 'color revolutions' .....

And Iran is anyway the last one standing on the 'clean break strategy' list from 1996 outlining the '7 countries in 5 years' which implementation started soon after 9/11.

The last sentence would be more accurate if it read ".......... destroying and destabilizing the world."
