Putin’s goal number 1 has been to destroy NATO, the greatest treaty in world history. Trump is doing Putin’s bidding as the demented convicted felon threatens a NATO ally when he targets Greenland.

It"s quite apparent that some people here support the Israel/US imperialist agenda. Russia has had access to the Arctic sea for decades. If they wanted to seize Greenland they could've done so ages ago. But now that Trump wants it suddenly there is a new fake threat? C'mon😒

Well, Greenland was protected by the US during WW2 because Denmark was taken by Germany. If things got bad Denmark would never be able to deter Russia but the US would. Greenland is safer with the US who can afford to take care of and protect the natives there.

I'm Nigerian-American and I have never liked Trump right from day one but you have to give credit where credit is due. Trump has done exceptionally well in his second term, helping the Iranians now has nothing to do with oil same with Venezuela. Venezuela was all about National security.

Normalizing business relations and restoring peace with the Iranians is the main goal here.
Let me ask you in simple terms. Why was Venezuela attacked?

Why are they planning to overthrow Iran?

⚡Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.'

Trump: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

Honestly Iran has tried the onslaught has been very hot and ferrocious over the decades. I'll always teach my children to be dogged and resilient like the Persians. I wish them good luck cause America and Israel don't want to miss the chance this time they will throw everything at it. I believe it will be a coalition of countries against Iran like the gulf war.
Persia have tried really.

The US and Israel will strike Iran any moment from now. They don't have another option.

But they will have to go it alone.

With what has happened, in Gaza, Venezuela, and now the bullying and intimidation of Greenland, even the most ardent allies of the US will find it difficult to tag along the US in its military adventurism in Iran; at least, not with Trump.

So, the odds are the US and Israel will go it alone, except for some Middle Eastern (slave) nations like Jordan and the UAE. Trump has been very successful in destroying the already battered US image in the international political sphere.

For now, fingers crossed.

The attack will happen. Iran will be hit harder on this occasion, but like before, the Iranian response will also be proportional but more effective, thanks to the influx of Russian and Chinese tech.

Something tells me Panda will seize this opportunity to take its pound of flesh. It cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and watch Iran falls for one obvious reason. If Iran falls today, that will be the end of the China One Belt One Road project in the region. It will effectively kills its Euroasian ambition.

Hence, the Chinese foreign ministry have declared that Beijing will not stand idly by and will intervene if necessary. However, no one knows to what extent that intervention would be.

We can only wait and see.

God help the Med.

Even your own pro-western sources do not claim that Iran killed children, so I wonder why you are trying so hard to claim such.

As for sources, multiple photos of “protesters” with guns and bombs have been posted here. US and Israeli diplomats and intelligence agencies have openly mentioned that Mossad is on the streets. If you need additional evidence, find your way to Twitter. I am not engaging you in avoidable back and forth today.

12 PM in tehran

so the loudmouth asked his agents in iran to seize institutions yesterday and as of writing this comment there is no indication that they were able to do jacksh*t

they should hurry up and strike
i am beyond sick of the saber rattling and cho cho cho

after the 12d war, persia did the afghan purge
what is coming after this failed color revolution is better left unsaid
so they have no chocie but to attack
they have burned too many assets

i cannot speak for others

but for me, i am disregarding every chinese official statement on security matters for the foreseeable future
until their actions give me credible reasons to change my position

i'm sure they've provided some type of help in the background particularly on the technical side of things
but everyone is pissed with panda and deservedly so

Well said! I keep wondering why these dudes think killing Zelensky will end the war. If anything, it will complicate the war because Zelensky will only be replaced by someone who is more ruthless.

Same will also happen if Ukraine kills Putin. They’ll only have to deal with a person like Medvedev who is more ruthless and has very little red lines.

⚡Ukraine cut off the fresh water supply to Crimea in 2014.

Later that year Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr Zelensky made fun of people in Crimea suffering from water shortages.

Today, people in Kryvyi Rih, his place of birth are melting snow to use the water for cooking.

It is not like Iran is enemy territory, so why is it difficult to have men on the ground in Iran? Throughout yesterday, I was asking myself: what stops China from sending 10000 men to be stationed in Iran? They have the men, and Iran will gladly accept the offer.

The best form of defence is continuous attack. The docility is shocking and annoying. Sometimes, I wonder if it is juju and what kind of juju the White man has that the Russians and Chinese don't possess. It really amazes me everytime I think of it.
methink there was a conscious decision by the chinese to adopt this path since jintao
their thinking was that acceptance into the wto presented them a one-time opportunity to offer a distinct alternative to the us system
a central plank of this alternative is
zero overt militarism
they only acknowledge the base in djibouti, which they tie to the heydays of somali piracy
they also have a presence in cambodia, tajikistan (iran also has bases in tajikistan), saudi arabia and who knows where else
they go to great lengths to obscure their presence elsewhere
which sounds nice on paper and many including myself have on occasion referenced it as a positive

the problem however has been the complete lack of flexibility
they're very flexible and nimble with domestic policy and even non-kinetic foreign policy
but especially under xi, they have the turning radius of a mile-long train in kinetic foreign policy
it's absurd




to add more color
inside china, if they see a policy isn't working or they need to make adjustments
it happens in a jiffy. the speed is remarkable

but all they're doing about the kinetic foreign aggression is write statements and offer clandestine support
and the truly annoying part is that they were not like this when they were poorer
they recognize the danger which you can glean from their statements but they're not acting overwhelmingly or convincingly
like a deer in the headlights

that is not how superpowers act
and heads will roll
too bad there'll be lots of avoidable deaths before that inevitably happens

⚡NABU and SAPO announced that Yuliia Tymoshenko has been served with a notice of suspicion for offering unlawful benefits to Members of Parliament of Ukraine.

Tymoshenko also introduced a systemic mechanism in the Verkhovna Rada for providing unlawful benefits in exchange for loyal behavior during votes.

Iran is a very proud nation.

They'd never allow that. The kind of nation that would rather suffer alone than ask for help.

They once drove Russia out of an airbase in Iran.

that decision did not happen in isolation

iranian operatives were getting killed in syria
while putin refused to engage israeli jets
and yet he wanted to maintain a base in iran
which kyn juju be that

everybody don f*ckup
don't call out one party and leave out the other

besides the generals who made that decision were killed in the 12d war
and iran would have accepted a massive buildup of axis forces in iran after the war
if that had happened since july
we'd b in a different situation right now

No it takes 70 to 100 years for those who suffer, in war to die out and new children born to forget the suffering of war

Germany once vow to Russia they will never fight them again

Now those who made the vows it took the children 80 years to forget the oat
