And Condi got a professorship at Stanford as a reward, of course. And Powell was allowed to retire with his pension and reputation intact. The US is a piece of work.🙄

Are there people stupid and mercenary enough to listen to anything this vile, front-holed, mulatto war criminal has to say.... other then one word, "Guilty"?

Even more persuasive for most people, I think, is that Iran agreed to regular inspections by the IAEA to confirm their compliance with agreed controls - something that Israel has never done.

And Iran signed the nuclear non proliferation treaty before the US walked away from it. The NPT was something else Israel never accepted.

Also, the US intelligence community believes that Iran poses no threat to the west.

I think that Israel has never agreed to these things, because their having Nukes, has been an Israeli psyop from the start, and a very cheap and easy way to deter, without the need for maintenance costs.

Also I think because the US would not hand Nukes over, that Israel may then modify, and then present a Nuclear threat to the USA, or use in a manner that seriously messed up the USA's own plans. Consider that the UK does not have launch authority control over its own, paid for, US Nukes, and ask why that is?

I think that the single nuclear test with South Africa was a cover, and that the case of Mordecai Vanunu was a psyop to further the idea that Israel has many nukes, and still enables Israel to neither confirm or deny the existence of such. Even the claim that John F. Kennedy didn't want them to have nukes, and that is why he was assassinated, is I think a red herring, and would certainly, if known by the Deep Sate been all the more reason to continue to not allow Israel to have them, rather than pressure to let them have them.

Their refusal to sign up to the NPT, and allow inspections, coupled with the one joint nuclear test, where every other country, including North Korea, has been keen to ensure others know they definitely have them, and demonstrated such with multiple tests, to me is highly suspicious, and that they do not want it discovered that they do not have nukes. Literally, the only reason they behave differently to every other nuclear-armed nation and neither confirm or deny, is that to deny would prevent deterrence, and to confirm would compel inspection and confirmation, which would prove they don't have them., which would also leave them with no deterrence.

In addition, if they did have nukes, particularly the number that Vanunu claimed, I am certain that Russia's, and the Chinese secret services, and military spies of many nations, would have confirmed their suspicions of such at the UN, because even if Israel had made its own, there would be evidence in other ways of that. For example satellite imagery of silo-facilities, or large vehicles with launch characteristics, as well as all that goes with maintaining such a stock of nuclear missiles.

I think Scott would have a good knowledge of the kind of tell-tales there would be, and the limiting factors for launch options.

With all that said, however, I cannot prove they don't have them, but to me, all the signs indicate they don't.

Great rant there Scott, as usual.

So many, self-deluded, and state/msm-deluded fools will not take Iran on their word, or their proven adherence to the JCPOA, and who also allowed IAEA inspections, and still offer that.

Those fools want to believe Iran is the 'bad' guy, and regardless of all and any evidence that proves Iran's intentions, will refuse to accept the truth, in favour of their desire to cheer on mass-murder on the basis of false witnesses, which speaks loudly of the evil that is in their own hearts, and not from genuine concern for the well-being of their nation, for were it so, they would be diligent on establishing the truth of things, not Cheerleading the murder and destruction of innocent, and falsely accused people.

What they crave is demonic, they care nothing for truth, and in not doing so, prove the evil within.

The love of the Almighty Dollar, I'm afraid. They have to keep this war, as any war in the past, living and thriving to justify their "fingers in the pie".

So sad for all of these innocent Lebanese people & the 160 school girls & teachers on the first strike (if they had watched the compound for even 24 hrs, they would've seen the children. So you're telling me that in their first strike that they didn't watch and plan it?!! Oh, I heard that they blamed it on the missile program....lame, when they hit every other target directly, as they plan to).

And what about any target that Trump wants, with their family's going down with them? How does the US think that it's ok that Trump (who I liked last yr, Not this yr!!) should be allowed to be Judge, Jury and Executioner? There's a word for that....Dictator.

You see, this is how History is corrupted then passed on, over and over again. It was a girls and boys school in Minab, girls on first floor, boys on second floor, playground at each end of the building for each. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o2R-_KBIfE

"Western Media Ignore Victims of Trump Regime's Minab Massacre" by Reason2Resist with Dimitri Lascaris

On March 28, while travelling in Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, Dimitri Lascaris visited with family members of the 168 students and teachers massacred by U.S. forces at the outset of Trump's latest war of aggression on Iran. The ONLY western journalist to EVER show any concern by visiting the sight.

Ranger1221regnaR's avatar

So how many boys were murdered? If they were on the second floor then the Tomahawks could not have missed them on the way to the first floor of girls.

If what you say is true, then why do the Iranians themselves not mention this? - I think they would, and considering Professor Seyed Marandi is in Iran, and has commented on this, and been interviewed prolifically, this would not have been missed. Also Christopher Helali, from DD Geopolitics also interviewed families of the 168 students & teachers, and not once was there any mention of boys being murdered either, which puts into question your claims of History being corrupted, and the school being a joint girl's and boy's school. The Electronic Intifada did not mention this either, and they are not the sort to twist facts like that.

Perhaps all the boys were not at school on that day, but the girls were? It isn't distorting history, if even the Iranians called it a girl's school, but then maybe you know better than all those people.

This is the School's name - Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school of the Shahrak-e Al-Mahdi neighbourhood in Minab, Hormozgan province in southern Iran. No mention of co-education, nothing about girl's AND boy's school.

You see? THIS is how History gets corrupted - People like you claiming things that are not true, or backed by facts. 276 people were murdered in that triple-tap tomahawk missile strike on the Girl's school, there were parents and civilians also murdered when they tried to help after the first strike.

Get fkd. Go watch Dimitri's video, he is right their in the school yard, interviewing (among others) a father who is burying his son right there, and several other families. Learn from reporters who were RIGHT THERE, talking to the people who live there, and you can see the damage to the school, and to the nearby medical centre which also got bombed. BTW, this school was listed already as a school in the 2016 U.S. military's database of targets - EVERY bldg, bridge, road, etc., ON THE PLANET is in that database, but Pete Hogsbreath removed all constraints on warfare.

And don't forget the girls volleyball team what was wiped out the same day.

hey, you stuck the landing on this one Scott

Prayers and positivity for your granddaughter and your daughter

KEEP TELLING THE TRUTH FOR THE ONES OF US THAT CANNOT🙏🫡🇺🇸

😀 Big Thanks! 😃

The US has been at war virtually its entire history, so good luck having your granddaughter grow up in a peaceful US. The US is also EVERY YEAR killing perhaps 400,000-500,000 innocent people around the world, especially poor people in the Global South, with economic warfare (so-called sanctions).

By the way, is great that Iran doesn't want a nuclear weapon, but the US and other nuclear powers have zero right to put pressure on Iran not to acquire one until they get rid of all their own nuclear weapons first!

Same crap.

The only difference is that the players have changed.

Franz Kafka,

To whom are you referring as a: “…mulatto war criminal”?

Boris Petrov's avatar

I think the war criminal Condoleezza Rice. She is at Stanford Hoover - the ultraconservative disgusting nest….

Ranger1221regnaR's avatar

Watched the video, and I accept I was wrong. Iranian Press TV did indeed say it was a joint school, which is proof enough. Though it doesn't explain why Iranian authorities list it as a Girl's Elementary School, not a joint Elementary one, and why all the focus of all other media then, and now, was that it was Girls, Teachers, and Civilians trying to help, that were murdered.

Regarding telling me to get Fkd, that didn't help your argument at all, however, when I got the time, I did indeed do what I said I would do, and not as you claimed. There was no reason to be so rude, and as you had done such to me before in the past, and were then provably wrong, you did yourself and your argument no favours by your arrogant rudeness, Kathleen.

Any how, I was wrong, as are a great many about the school being only a Girl's school, but not about how it is Listed by Iranian Authorities, which I think is why so many did indeed think it is a Girl's Elementary School, and why the focus was all on the Girl's murdered in those strikes, and not the boys also. From day one of the strikes, the Iranians claimed Girl's, and said nothing about Boys. As PressTV is in fact an Iranian State-owned outfit, and were themselves reporting from day one, I can only assume that the omission was a deliberate one, perhaps to deliberately focus on the Girls, but I see no good reason, as the Boys murdered there too, would not have weakened the impact of the event, or reporting of it.

I am still blocking you however, as the way you attacked me was unwarranted, and I stand by my response, as you earned it.
