Since America and Israel attacked Iranian Economic Interests when they bombed oil producing facilities, it's entirelly fair for Iran to respond in kind.

NEVER, ever, ever host your projects in the site of an American company.

Once in a while Sony reconfirms my choice to boycott them since the rootkit CD scandal in the 00s.

Yeah, well, European auto-makers should've gotten their shit together instead of dragging their feet on EVs and trying to squeeze extra profits from the SUV fad.

Ah, good old New Labour, siding with the modern day Nazis committing their very own Holocaust in Gaza.

The UK is almost as fucked up as the US.

(Though, judging by the march of 600k people against the Genocide, most Brits are not, and it's the power and money elites that, as usual, can't stop themselves from loving the most violent Fascism and Fascists same as when a young princess Elizabeth was being taught by her uncle and then King how to do a Nazi salute - the whole ubermenschen vs untermenshen view of the World seems to have massive appeal amongst British elites).

Protests are successful in places like France because they carry with them the implicit threat that the elites will sonner or later have their heads separated from their shoulders if they don't address the concerns of the rest of the population.

Meanwhile in the US there is not even the risk of the economic damage of a General Strike, much less of the physical integrity of those who actually control how the country is managed.

Several million Americans walking around in their own time holding boards decrying the current puppet of the elites ain't going to scare the elites into letting go of some of their power.

The murder by a single individual of a Healthcare Insurance company CEO had more concrete impact than this march of millions of Americans ever will.

So, say that Russia tests article 5. This has one of two possible outcomes.

  • Article 5 is not honoured which is "yay for Russia" though not very useful for them since militarily they're stuck in a self-dug pit in Ukraine so don't actually have the excess military power for handling anything more than a small nation like Montenegro. Meanwhile NATO is hardly going to stop supporting Ukraine (and in fact NATO nations might double up on that support if they feel that NATO doesn't work anymore as strategically it's the best way to militarily bleed Russia and make it less dangerous)
  • Article 5 is honoured. At which point, who knows how far NATO nations will go in crushing Russia to make sure an attack on a NATO nation doesn't happen ever again. At the very least Russia would be kicked out of Ukraine pretty quickly and lose pretty much all its air and naval assets.

My point is that this is a MASSIVE risk for Russia if they are wrong, with little concrete and currently achievable upsides if they are indeed right, mainly because they're stuck and bleeding in Ukraine and a logical fallback plan for European nations if NATO turns out to be toothless is to increase support of Ukraine even more, and specifically for the attacked nation it might even make sense to become a military ally of Ukraine since that's an ongoing fight in somebody else's territory.

So to me this sounds like bullshit or this "attack" Kahl is talking about is more of the same which they have already been doing: cyberwar, cutting submarine cables, financing extremist parties. social media disinfo and so on.

What's really shocking is that a woman detained in the US for not having ID wasn't delivered to ICE immediatelly and deported to El Salvador without due process.

I mean, the whole point of not having due process is that if a person can't right then and there prove they're not an illegal immigrant they can just treat that person as an illegal immigrant and "dissapear" that person for it with no recourse.

The pettyness of all this shit is what's really shocking...

So, a real group of Jewish Leaders rather than a Zionist sockpuppet like the ADL.

Slavery is alive and well in the United States Of America.

(As a side note it's funny how, with a century of delay, the US pretty much followed the UK in making slavery "illegal" by just making chattel slavery illegal and, not long after, replacing it with indentured servitude. The non "funny" side is that Britain has already dropped indentured servitude but the US is busy actually expanding their variant of it with things like 3-strikes legislation)

Well, at least Israel made the sure the Hospital was a Terrorist Base, it's just that they did it after they took over rather than before.
