The latest Democracy Index came out. Seems the USA is listed as a "Flawed Democracy", and Ranks 34th in the world. Just in case anyone actually was gullible enough to believe the USA was a good place to live. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eco...
After Israel, steals land, burns down houses, and kills off the Palestinians in the area.... then they absorb the land and build a so called "settlement". How is this acceptable?
The Strait of Hormuz was wide open with no issues prior to Trumps war. One look at this chart tells you that Trump is a complete moron. Worse still, the USA has lost all credibility with the rest of the world. That will not come back anytime soon.
Pretty obvious Trump is jealous in this picture. Nobody likes or respects Trump. But Carney is highly respected and liked around the world.
American mainstream media has spend decades vilifying Socialism.... to the point that most Americans believe Socialism is evil, something only tin-pot 3rd world countries do. Pretty sad state of affairs. If only the general public knew the truth. Here is a sample of Socialist policies in the USA.
The strait was wide open before Trumps personal war of choice. There was a comprehensive Nuclear proliferation deal with Iran. (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,JCPOA). Trump tore that deal up. Trump has got to be the stupidest person alive.
The problem is 50% of American voters have been gaslighted for decades by conservative networks owned by billionaires... spreading the lie that Socialism is some sort of evil thing. Add in the American education system has failed to teach about the world outside the USA, and this is the result.
He is not wrong. War crimes are not one sided, typically done by both sides. The USA and Israel will NEVER take accountability for their war crimes, but will hypocritically point out war crimes of others.
Hmmm... Its a good bet that the USA will not achieve anything as good as the deal Obama had made that Trump later tore up. And it now looks like Trump is sending truckloads of money to Iran. The USA lost this war. Just no other way to say it.
Trumps personal war statistics. Honestly, If Trump wants to negotiate a ceasefire and peace deal, he should call up Obama to see how to do it.
As yes... Trump distorted key elements of the draft agreement in an attempt to claim a “fake victory”. Of course he did. What a buffoon that guy is.
Interpretation. The Trump administration is lying. Again. "Iranians are saying that what’s being spoken in the United States is not what they have agreed in Tehran with Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir."
The price of oil and fertilizer is far too low considering the reality of the situation between the USA and Iran. This will go on for a long, long time. I expect to price of oil climb and exceed $150/barrel. Financial markets are totally underplaying the situation.
TRUTH - Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. I am amazed that the US population gobbles up the propaganda that the Trump administration puts out daily. If you want the truth, don't bother with any USA run news organizations.... they just parrot the Trump propaganda.
Dozens of vessels including Chinese-owned have passed through the Strait of Hormuz under Iran’s “management protocols”, the Revolutionary Guard says. Indeed, Iran decides who can pass and who can not, and there is not a damn thing the USA can do about it.
The only way progress can be made on negotiations is if the USA backs off its maximalist demands. History will view this war of choice as a colossal mistake. The USA will have killed many innocent people, spent a ton a money, destroyed America's reputation, and achieved nothing.
The USA now has to beg China to help it resolve the Iran war. How embarrassing for the USA. Trump is a doofus.
The USA is scared to enforce its blockade on Chinese tankers. This is very telling. The USA behaves like the bully in grade school. They will pick on smaller less powerful countries, but will not stand up to powerful ones. Very selective.
Ahhh, yes. The Trump effect is now in force. It is likely Trump is working to make the USA his seventh and most significant bankruptcy.
Looks like France is willing to take the lead on opening up the Strait of Hormuz.... That is WITHOUT the USA...as we all know, the USA fucked up and created the problem. Clearly the USA can't fix it. The USA might as well just go home. Nobody likes them anyway.
