I recognise that I am, inescapably, a hypocrite: human, flawed, and no different from any other in that regard

No mention from the BBC that Israel & the US committed the supreme crime in launching a war of aggression on Iran

Instead Clive Myrie tells us only that they "seek to transform Iran"

I guess that means Putin's 2022 invasion was just his way of "seeking to transform Ukraine"

Congratulations to the US for killing Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader and a steadfast opponent of Iran developing nuclear weapons

Doubtless Iran's new leader will learn from Khamenei's mistake and expedite an Iranian nuclear bomb as quickly as possible

Dumb & Dumber Than Fuck Look at that face.

Here’s the thing about wars

They are not episodes of a reality show

You do not wrap them up before the weekend so you can tee off Sunday morning and tell everyone how decisive you were

You do not bomb a country of 90 million people and then check your watch like you’re waiting on a fucking Uber

Some observations and comments on Trump and Israel's war on Iran Trump is miscalculating Iran's gameplan

Tehran calculates that the war can only end durably if the cost for the US rises dramatically, including American casualties

After the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran says it has no red lines left and will go all out in seeking the destruction of these bases and high American casualties

Tehran is not looking for a ceasefire & has rejected outreach from Trump

They believe they committed a mistake by agreeing to the ceasefire in Juneβ€”it only enabled the US & Israel to restock to launch war again

If they agree to a ceasefire now, they will only be attacked again in a few months

Thanks for access to the article.

If you can comment to the author please consider telling him that the several useful headings such as "The Gang That Rules America" are completely missing from Reader View.

At a guess this might be a CSS problem.

"Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked"."

Brilliant that is quite the metaphor

America’s Ruling Gang: Organized Crime at the Highest Level How the Epstein Class, Oligarchs, and the U.S. State Have Created a Monopoly on Violence

The idea that β€œAmerica is a democracy” is a comforting lie for the masses

In reality, the US is run like the most sophisticated organized crime syndicate in history

This isn’t metaphor or hyperboleβ€”it is literally codified in the structure of power

Most Americans still think the U.S. is a democracy with checks and balances

They believe elections and courts protect them

The truth is far darker: the U.S. is controlled by a gangβ€”a transnational criminal network that wields the state, military, and police as tools of theft and violence

RIP to all the American soldiers who are about to die because Israel can't fight its own wars American soldiers are about to die in the most courageous, heroic way possible: to save a paedophile ring from accountability.

All it will take for the Greater Israel Project to become reality is one final, Iran-sized sacrifice to Ba’al

With that goal in mind, freedom bombs have been raining on Tehran throughout the night to turn a thriving Islamist hellscape into democratic rubble

The aim was to gather enough kompromat on US presidents so that it could one day order them to fight the ultimate war against Iran

Israel is extremely grateful to Americans for being dumb enough to elect the worst possible people

Without their gullibility, World War III just wouldn’t be possible

Three days into the US-Israeli illegal war on Iran, and the Western media is playing its usual role

We saw it in Iraq

We saw it in Afghanistan

We saw it in Libya

We are seeing it in Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Let’s start with the BBC

When Iranians are killed, the perpetrator isn’t named

GeStarmer says "British planes are in the sky" but played no active part in the strikes on Iran

Does he mean it in the same sense as our planes being in the skies above Gaza?

Because those planes provided Israel with the data to help it murder Palestinians en masse
