Hegseth Brags About β€œDeath and Destruction” Raining Down in Iran Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a shocking press conference on day five of the war on Iran.

And Carney said he supports this. We are led by a fool. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The Zionists and Americans stupidly killed the Ayatollah whose fatwa prohibited Iran making a bomb. With that out of the way, build it, and fast.

Attacking Iran’s nuclear programme could drive it towards a bomb, experts warn Fears US-Israeli onslaught could lead regime to push for bomb or embolden other groups to steal uranium stockpile

This is what should happen: Iran should quit dithering and build a nuclear bomb. It’s clear nothing else will deter Israeli/American genocide and war crimes.

A medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional. Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal…

The Canadian Pediatric Society faked scientific reports in its journal for 25 years. Over 100 of them.

You cannot trust a word CPS says. What a gift to the anti-vaxxers.

CPS’s entire leadership needs to resign.

Couldn’t care less. If Americans don’t want to die in foreign wars, stop having them.

Maybe if Americans don’t want to die, they should stay at home and mind their own country.

Carney says Ottawa’s position supporting U.S., Israeli strikes on Iran was taken β€˜with regret’ But the U.S. and Israel have acted without engaging the UN or allies, leaving the question of where things will go from here, the Prime Minister said

If it takes just 3 days to β€œregret” what you said, maybe you’re not the smartest guy in the room, boss.

Canada should close its airspace to the US Military.

It’s already clear Iran is kicking the USA’s ass.

The Iranian regime need only survive to win. But this is definitely America losing, and Trump has no goal to win.πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

Just wait until the drone interceptors run out, which is soon.

US strikes on Iran triggered by Israel’s plan to launch attack, Rubio says Democrats disturbed by rationale that Trump ordered pre-emptive strikes out of concern about Tehran retaliation

So the USA is too weak to stand up to Israel now? MAKE ISRAEL GREAT AGAIN!!!

TRT World - Pentagon tells Congress no intelligence showed Iran was preparing to strike before US attack Closed-door briefings acknowledge no evidence that Tehran intended to hit US forces first, as Democrats accuse Trump of launching a β€œwar of choice.”

It’s all a murderous lie.

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a VideoΒ Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game
