Trump Went to War With Iran to 'Seize Oil' as US Shale Enters Major Decline The United States launched a war on Iran, not to eliminate a nuclear threat, but to seize control of the world’s last major accessible oil reserves

"If the risks it outlined are accurate, then the war with Iran will achieve the precise opposite of what it was designed to do: not the consolidation of American power, but its accelerated decline."

As I try to point out in my forthcoming piece for the print edition of Byline Times, Trump’s Christian Zionists are actually deeply antisemitic. They want Jews to provoke the Second Coming by fighting Muslims, and then they will be damned in the ‘rapture’ if they don’t convert

🚨 A senior WH official has confirmed that US aims to seize control of Iran’s oil reserves – third largest in the world – at the precise moment America's own shale production is entering irreversible terminal decline.

We are at a turning point in which "the question is whether states respond to disruption by doubling down on extraction, militarisation, and emergency centralisation - or whether they use the shock to accelerate the next life-cycle through new production systems and new forms of governance."

Make no mistake. This is a war aimed at redrawing the map of the Middle East. It will not end cleanly. It will spark civil war, result in prolonged regional destabilisation and drive the rise of new extremist movements.

Our party has just come third in Gorton and Denton, a previously safe Labour seat - an area where we haven't lost an election since 1931.

It is those running our party who are to blame. We need change at the top and serious lessons need to be learnt:
