They are EVIL and ENTITLED.
And are very VOCAL about letting the world know that they are EVIL and ENTITLED.

They CANNOT endure a quarter of what they dish out.

IF somebody spoke about ILLsrael the way ILLsrael speaks about Gaza and Palestine, they'd accuse them of PLANNING a new Holocaust.

HYPOCRITES!

As for sponsoring both Democrats and Republicans in the US, they are BLATANT about that.
They've been BRAGGING about that for YEARS.

AIPAC routinely released statements CONGRATULATING themselves in public for spending money to DESTROY the campaigns of candidates who CRITICISED ILLsrael.

When AIPAC became TOXIC, AIPAC channelled money through other organisations.

Very SHADY stuff.

I also read about how AIPAC staff sometimes serve in the offices of AIPAC-sponsored lawmakers.
To keep them on a LEASH.

I told someone a while back that the most DOMINANT force in America is NOT Republican or Democrats.

It's ILLsrael.

Democrats MAY want something and NEVER get it passed.
Republicans MAY want something and NEVER get it passed.

But IF ILLsrael wants something, Republicans and Democrats work together to get it PASSED.

The OUTSIZED influence of ILLsrael on American Politics is INSANE to behold.

Iranian Leaders DON'T want to have sense.

Their country is being used as a TARGET PRACTICE whenever the GENOCIDAL nation of ILLsrael and America want.

Yet they keep DRAGGING their feet on acquiring the ULTIMATE guarantee of safety.

Living under IMPENDING attacks all the time is psychological TORTURE.

It's GREAT that these people are DEMANDING Nukes.

Good people.

The PDFile wrecks EVERYTHING.

Iran must NOT hold back in the NEXT phase of the war.

They must DESTROY all oil facilities in the Middle East.

Oil MUST become so EXPENSIVE that American SLAVES in Nigeria will have to sell their KIDNEYS to be able to afford a SINGLE litre of fuel.

The consequences of American FOLLY must ripple across the ENTIRE world.

That's the ONLY way they'll learn.

IF Iran plays it RIGHT, Europe will be ROASTING by December.

@namaster, the most hilarious part of the proposal
is that pakistan, saudi arabia, turkey, qatar
allegedly are willing to guarantee that the heu will be returned to iran if the us leaves the aggreement

it's as if they think they are talking to children

who do they expect to believe that lamba

-Lord
Imagine the NONSENSE!

They still have a FIRM belief that Iranians are BUMBLING EEEDEOTS.

There's NO other explanation.

And I BLAME Iran for this.
Iran has CONDUCTED themselves like MOWRUNS whenever they "negotiate", that's why they are using TODDLER-LOGIC on them.

the immediate reaction yesterday was that the offer was rejected

but pez is meeting putin and apparently the emir of qatar will also be in moscow today
also, rezaee met khamenei ii yesterday night after the mecca mannequins departed
so who knows

the gulf clearly are very anxious about losing their oil/gas infrastructure
so they seem very serious about working out some type of compromise

but iran is not taking advantage of the desperation

all the proposals/offers I've seen over the past week from qatar/pakistan are deserving of punches
qatar proposed inspections for return of interest on the frozen funds, not even the frozen funds itself
the proposal was so insulting that they were not allowed to leave the airport
they landed in tehran and were told to fly back
without meeting anyone

-Lord
It is because of the BODY LANGUAGE of people like Pezeshkian, Aragchi and Ghalibaf.

There's a way you'll CARRY yourself that people will be AFRAID to offer you NONSENSE.

Just IMAGINE!

They'll give you the PALTRY interests on YOUR OWN money in exchange for letting the IAEA VIPERS who spy for America and ILLsrael back into your country.

That's the ULTIMATE see finish!

It's great that the Iranians did NOT let them go beyond the airport.
But they NEED to do MORE.
So that they DON'T have the audacity to consider offering that NONSENSE in the first place.

For instance, there is NO WAY the Saudis or ANYONE would have the audacity to offer $1 Billion to the Houthis to stop DEALING with the Saudis.

They can ONLY make that offer to Iran.
Because Iran is famous for EATING SHEET.

⚡The Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) carried out airstrikes against sites allegedly belonging to terrorist groups in southeastern Syria, in response to the killing of Jordanian citizens at a funeral at Hamoud Church in Karak last Friday.

The Jordanian Armed Forces said the strikes destroyed several sites and vehicles, killing and wounding numerous militants. However, an airstrike also killed seven members of a Syrian family, including women and children, in the village of Latf, northeastern Daraa countryside.
These MUSLIM COUNTRIES are just TOO STEWPID.
UNBELIEVABLY STEWPID!

Some TERRORISTS/GUNMEN attacked ONE church in your country.
The ATTACKERS have NOTHING to do with the government of Syria.

And you are NOT on the opposite sides of the religious SPECTRUM.

YET the NEXT you did was to BOMB their countries and KILL their civilians.

ALL while using the same LABEL that your Western SLAVEMASTERS who hate you use when they want to ATTACK you and steal your OIL.

This is something that they could have WORKED with Syrian Authorities on.
They could have carried out a JOINT operation to arrest the ATTACKERS.

Instead, they CHOSE to react in an INORDINATE manner.

Meanwhile, they are both CO-SLAVES under US/ILLsraeli servitude.

So why?

I understand that it's fashionable in 2026 to BLOW UP Muslim Countries.
EVERYBODY is eager to do it.
Even MUSLIM Countries.

CRAZY stuff.

That said, both the ATTACK and the RETALIATION feels INORGANIC.

Jordan did NOT even bother to reach out to the Syrian SLAVE about a potential JOINT operation before BOMBING Syria.

Too much MADNESS coming from these Muslim countries.

as i said
part of the visit was to do the west asian version of minsk i and ii

apparently the new offer is that
iran will send the heu to russia or china
and pakistan, saudi arabia, turkey will serve as guarantors of the agreement

very useless offer
what exactly can those three bozos do to stop the us when they break the agreement
the guarantors of the jcpoa were russia, china, uk, france, and germany
what exactly can these mecca mannequins do that those five couldn't

it is exactly like minsk
the europeans were guarantors
today they're actively conducting and funding a proxy war against russia
it'll be the exact same thing
once they successfully get the heu out
wait a while, they'll return with a vengeance and actively be part of a more destructive war on iran

and i bet it was a package deal
so in addition to that
iran will have to convince the houthis to stop its campaign for $1b

the next round can't start soon enough

-Lord
They have the AUDACITY to make such a STEWPID offer to Iran because of USELESS ENTITIES like Aragchi, Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf.

MANY people in Iran have already made it CLEAR that the HEUs will NOT leave Iranian soil under ANY circumstances.

But those TREASONOUS TRIO still present a body language that suggest they'll give up EVERYTHING in exchange for some SANCTIONS-RELIEFS that is NOT enforceable.

NOBODY in Iran should even be ENTERTAINING any form of negotiations.

Would Saudi, Turkey or Pakistan want their people to NEGOTIATE what is essentially a SURRENDER if ILLsrael and America ASSASSINATED their families?

Would Pakistan GIVE UP its own NUKES in exchange for USELESS guarantees from America?

ALSO, why is Iran conducting themselves in a way that gave its TRAITOROUS neighbours that they'd SACRIFICE Yemen for ORDINARY $1 Billion?

Instead of pulling the ears of the Saudi AGGRESSOR and telling them to get the FORK OUT of Yemen and END their illegal BLOCKADE, they are sending their MILITARY to help Saudi Arabia fight Yemen.

And they want to BRIBE Iran with $1 Billion to ORDER Yemen to stop RETALIATING for the Saudi ATTACKS and BLOCKADE.

Essentially, the want to IRANIZE Yemen.

Iran has SUFFERED terrible ATTACKS and INJUSTICES from the US, ILLsrael and their Arab neighbours.
And they did NOTHING about it.
Iran was just SUFFERING in silence.

They want Yemen to do the SAME thing.

MOWRUNS!

Every time they SANCTION Iran and prevented them from EXPORTING their oil and gas, Iran should have made sure that NOBODY in the region exported oil and gas.

But because Iran has been acting like MOOMOOS for nearly 50 years now, they expect that to CONTINUE.
And also be EXTENDED to Yemen.

That's why they are still asking Iran to give up their HEUs.

The way you'll know that these FORKS still think of Iran as HUGE MOOMOOs is when they said Pakistan, Saudi and Turkey would GUARANTEE that the US and ILLsrael follow the agreement.

Like how?
grin

People who CANNOT guarantee their OWN safety.

The West still thinks of ALL 3 as TERRORIST nations.

Very RIDICULOUS offer!

It's INSANE that they even proposed it to Iran.

By the way, Europe is working hard to STOP this trend.

So it's time for China to CONSIDER going full-speed into exporting WEAPONS.

Germany, France and Russia are still ahead of China.
With the US absolutely DOMINATING the weapons export market.

China is BARELY ahead of Italy.

Xi needs to LOOK into that.

In the fight against TERRORISM and INSURGENCY, Nigeria ordered 24 BRAND NEW Fighter Jets from Italy that cost about €1.2 BILLION.

They've delivered JUST 3.
3 out of 24.

China would have delivered nearly ALL of them by now.
Plus, it'd definitely be CHEAPER too.

China should look into this.

Qatar has to be the BIGGEST American SLAVE in the WORLD.

First, they GAVE the PDFile a $400 Million Private Jet.
And that's in addition to the BILLIONS they likely gave to Jared Kushner.

ILLsrael BOMBED them anyway.

The PDFile they BRIBED told them to suck it up.
Then this week, Netanyahu used BOMBING Qatar to FLEX on his campaign trail.

NOT satisfied with BOMBING them, Netanyahu brought war into their backyard.

The PDFile they BRIBED and Netanyahu BOMBED Iran and then left them EXPOSED to retaliation.

ILLsrael got all the PATRIOTS they needed.
They got the LEFTOVER.

After suffering the CONSEQUENCES of the ILLsraeli and American attacks on Iran, Iran DAMAGED some of their oil facilities.

Experts say it could take up to 3-5 years to REPAIR the damage.

Instead of looking to its OIL RICH neighbours, the ENSLAVED nation of Qatar crossed CONTINENTAL borders to give MORE MONEY to the chief architect of its MISFORTUNE.

Then instead of signing deals for the 3 to 5 years need for REPAIRS or even hedging a little by signing a deal for 7 to 10 years, the BESHACKLED nation of Qatar signed a deal for OVER 25 YEARS!

Meanwhile, they are the THIRD-LARGEST producer of LNG in the World.
They also have the THIRD-LARGEST LNG reserves in the World.

Instead they chose SLAVERY.

They chose to give MORE MONEY to the people DESTROYING their country and REGION.

And knowing the Epstein Regime, they'd likely LOCK the price at the current HIGH PRICES with NO wiggle room to negotiate DOWN the price IF LNG finally comes down.
But they'd definitely include a clause to adjust for INFLATION if necessary.

The Middle East are being held to RANSOM.
And they are FUNDING their own CAPTIVITY.

So PITIFUL!

If Iran has the means to get and test a bomb they need to do it cause these monsters won't stop attacking them. Iran should stop learning the hard way. They are still hoping somehow they would get Trump to ease sanctions and release their stolen assets. It won't happen, not even a democratic president will do that. Joe Boden did nothing to restore the JCPOA that Trump shredded into pieces during his first tenure.

All the democratic candidates campaigning for the mid terms are just using the US-Israel war on Iran against the Republicans, they won't do any favour for Iran if they get there. Iran should do the needful.
Very TRUE!

There is ZERO difference in the Foreign Policies of Republicans and Democrats.

They BOTH want to DOMINATE the GLOBE and establish American IMPERIALISM everywhere.

The person who DROPPED 2 Nuclear Weapons on Japan was a Dem President.

Both parties are very much UNIFIED in villifying Muslim Countries and MURDERING people of other races.

Iran will NEVER establish deterrence WITHOUT Nukes.
America will NOT leave WITHOUT destroying Iran BEYOND recognition.

Threats of conventional DRONES and Missiles mean NOTHING to them.
Especially because Iran CANNOT reach the US Mainland.

What is happening to Russia CANNOT happen to them.
They are FARAWAY.

And the person they care about in the region (ILLsrael) is fully PROTECTED.

IF US shared borders with Iran like Russia does with Ukraine, the war would have been DIFFERENT.

The PDFile spent JUST two days in a country that borders Iran and he had to be SMUGGLED OUT in a food cart.

Imagine Iran NEXT DOOR to US, the PDFile would have FLED to another CONTINENT.

ONLY thing that can save Iran is NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Even if they DON'T have a system to deliver it straight to WASHINGTON yet, they can still deliver it right on top of Tel Aviv.

That'll give them PAUSE.

Instead, we have an Iran that's SUICIDALLY reasonable.

They are still THREATENING to do things that they should have done on DAY ONE.

They NEED those Nukes.
It's a matter of SURVIVAL.

Even if the Dems win BOTH the House and the Senate, it WON'T change anything.
They DON'T get control until January 2027.

That gives the PDFile a FULL 2 MONTHS to drop as much BOMBS as his ROTTEN heart desires.

Also, Iran's BAD habits of ALWAYS waiting to be BOMBED first is just TIRESOME.

Sounds like CIA and/or MOSSAD ops have INFILTRATED the protests to push their ISLAMOPHOBIC agenda.

Because it's MADNESS to go to another man's country, especially a WESTERN country, to YELL Allahu Akbar at their President when EVERYBODY knows that's a phrase that the West associates with TERRORISM.

The Epstein Regime have been working tirelessly to push the NARRATIVE that the protests were by brown muslim IMMIGRANTS who HATE the West.

They've been PUSHING it everywhere.
Trying to DEMONISE immigrants.

Plus, I recently saw a report that ILLsraeli Spy Agencies have CONCLUDED that trying to BRAINWASH people in the West into loving ILLsrael is NOT working.

They've instead shifted their EFFORTS into further fomenting more ISLAMOPHOBIA in the West.

This could be one of those such EFFORTS.
Or it could be CIA.

They might have the money but they simply don't have the people, except Iran, the others don't have the local knowledge to build technologies and defence arms and weapons to be a serious military, only Iran has such capabilities and of course they wouldn't want to be friends with Iran, hence Iran influence their citizens to revolt against the monarchies
This is definitely a PROBLEM.
But it's NOT an insurmountable problem.

For instance, Turkey has a ROBUST Defense Manufacturing Sector.

IF they are UNWILLING to bring Iran into the fold, they can PUMP their resources into expanding and improving Turkey's Defense Manufacturers.

Secondly, they can BUY what they CANNOT produce.

They can look to China for that.

Instead of waiting YEARS for Patriots, they can buy Air Defense Systems from China.

Some people will ARGUE that China's Air Defense Systems are INFERIOR to the ones they buy from America.

I CANNOT speak to that.

But they are NOT getting those systems from America anyway.

Meanwhile, China can LEVERAGE their huge production capacity to FLOOD the Middle East with Air Defense Systems.

The Middle East should be covered in LAYERS UPON LAYERS of Air Defense Systems.

They can get that from China.

Right now, they are at the MERCY of American Manufacturers.

And they are like the FOURTH in line despite possessing VAST resources to acquire the systems.

America will get theirs FIRST.
Then ILLsrael will get theirs SECOND.
Europe/NATO will get theirs THIRD.

Then the Gulf Countries.

They NEED to break their shackles of SLAVERY to the Americans and WEAN themselves of their dependence on American Weapons.

Plus, a long-term Military Supply Contract like that would come with some form of TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER.

They can CAJOLE China to transfer some of those technical know-hows to the LOCAL people.

However, I don't expect the RICH and BOURGEOISIE countries like Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait to be INTERESTED in it.

That's where having a LARGER group of Nations in the Defense Pact comes in.

Poorer countries like Egypt, Pakistan and Yemen could serve as the MANUFACTURING base of the coalition.

It'll be good for the GROUP.
And good for the economies that NEED it.

That's a LOT of money.

Plus, Iran is NOT trying to kill them.
Iranian ATTACKS on the vessels have been NON-LETHAL so far.

They just SHOOT to DISABLE the vessels.
They TAKE OUT the engines.

Iran's actions in the Strait does NOT establish DETERRENCE.
