I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

An interesting fact about child murder is that there isn’t actually a place children can be where child murder becomes okay

Just FYI the Maduro government wasn't overthrown either. The Americans literally just killed some guys and kidnapped another guy and then fucked off out of town.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Goddamn right I did! Unless it was a formal occasion and then they went into the breast pocket.

If anyone within a 15 minute radius has a cigarette, there's a fiver in it for you

At this point I'm about ready to say that the only non-Western nation with a sensible approach to the US is North Korea

They’ve been claiming Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons for as long as I can remember. The US isn’t even bothering to come up with a different lie than the one they used to sell the Iraq war. Except this time the Canadian government is supporting them.

Okay, but I think it disgraces Israel (and the US) more than most

I think this is an excellent idea. Put 'em in! AMERICA!

A lot of the high-placed people in Trump's inner circle are barking halfwits but Marco Rubio, among all of them, should know better, and I don't believe he'll get the ending he deserves but I do hope he spends the rest of his life wiping spit from his face.

Not speaking metaphorically here, tbc.

Mark Wayne there isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer eh

Senator Mullin that guy died in 1989

Well that's that then, everyone can go home and it'll all be fine

a fucking imbecile named Ian Bremmer asking Hitler AI what the track record of US and Israeli attacks on civillians are

The average US foreign policy Serious Thinker^TM

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Apologies in advance

There's a pretty wide array of words in English that can walk the line between condemnation and endorsement, since Carney's defenders say we can't be TOO aggressive.

"We are monitoring the situation with great concern and urge all parties to respect the sanctity of human life and international law"

You don't even have to demand it! You could just call for it! Or urge it! Or reiterate the need for it!

For fucks sake, delete this

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This is correct but I'm still gonna be pissed off about it.

Surely this will make them love us

Ukraine can end this now!

I agree with your broader point, tbc. I just don't think rushing out to endorse naked aggression unleashed by an unstable autocrat is necessarily the ideal way to be taken seriously either.

Sometimes you can just say nothing. This I think would have been one of those times. (Not you, ftr, the government.)

Sure, Iran is an odious theocracy, but so is the US, and this action is destructive, destabilizing, and utterly indefensible. We shouldn't be defending it.

This is a hallmark of dying empires. When the brutalities of the colony and the empire’s hypocrisy can no longer be kept hidden either from metropolitan audiences or the colonized, an empire is in peril. There were glimpses of this even during the Iraq war. Abu Ghraib was a notable moment.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must ...

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...
