emmaodet:You know I think last week I wrote something here that China and Russia are not going to outrightly oppose USA any moment from now on and this is significantly affecting the multipolarism movement. I expected them to take a harder stance after the whole Venezuela invasion and the kidnap of Maduro but you see nothing happened. I think China just released a statement and I don't even think Russia said anything. Also, the whole UN and the western block all made vague statements. Nobody is challenging US, they still can do whatever they want on the global realm without any repercussions. Russia and China in order to break the hegemony and tyranny of the US should not just wait and see when they are going to be attacked directly. I know the time is coming, like they are coming for them directly but I am quite sure that it's going to be bloody. On Iran, now building a nuke won't save them like totally. I dare say that it's going to protect the country from external aggression and also, if the whole multipolarism thing was working, they should have been able to circumvent the whole sanction thing with the help of Russia and China. However, the US and the western block are still too powerful. |

Meanwhile, Iran is still fishing out spies with the help of its citizens. The US and Israel have done a good job of endearing Iranians to their government with all the rhetorics and genocide. To be honest, I fear that these monsters are nurturing agents like this in many countries, including friendly ones that they forsee a potential conflict of interest with. We tend to think only China thinks decades ahead but the hegemony is just like that when it comes to foreign policy. Read Trump's comments on Soleimani yesterday: Trump: โQassem Soleimani was truly a strong general. If he were to be around, we might not have been so successful in Iran, right now.โ As at the time they killed him, it made zero sense. Sure, he was smoking their jihadist friends in Syria but the resultant escalation didn't make sense until now. I'm sure their domestic policies are independently formulated by each administration but it's not Trump, Biden, or Obama that decides their geopolitical moves. |

WriteerNg:so dem b really believe say turkey just support al sharaa for photos and vibes erdogan has found a willing proxy for his eternal campaign against the kurds and he is willing to sacrifice al sharaa to get his demilitiarization of the kurds and where folks like the persians and iraqis used to view this with arched brows they are now sympathetic to turkish concerns because they see that the turks may be one step ahead of everyone having a completely submissive sub-national hegemonic vassal like the kurds that are a significant demographical and geographical part of turkey, iraq, syria, and iran is a regional nuclear time bomb the kurds want to unify their regions in all four countries and that is in effect a balkanization move for each of the four countries from antiquity a major component of the quashed insurgency in iran was iraqi kurds crossing the border into kurdish areas where they blend in before spreading across the country to cause mayhem the americans will find that after iraq, syria, turkey, and now iran has suffered directly from a kurdish conspiracy, there will be overt and covert support from everyone of note in the region to bring the kurds to heel and the kurds will have no one to blame but themselves -Lord |

nahr:nukes is how they buy sufficient time to work out a solution for their economy sanctions are no joke but on top of that and unlike north korea they are now looking at expensive wars every 6 or so months that would feed a death spiral fixing the economy will take a long time for two huge reasons structural issues like fuel subsidy (they subsidize gasoline for iran, pakistan, and afghanistan with total population of around 350m people while producing as much oil as nigeria). the last time they tried to remove it in 2019, there were deadly riots and especially panda's lethargy to creating an alternate financial system but the us is not going to wait, they'll keep poking and pushing so they absolutely need a nuke like yesterday whomever in the security establishment convinced the hierarchy that missiles were enough deterrence did not consider the impact of multiple rounds of war and insurgencies with even more sanctions added every quarter it is true that nukes did not save the soviet union but nukes saved millions of lives in the soviet union over its lifetime and even at its dissolution otherwise the hegemony would have pushed the europeans into recurrent hot wars with the soviets as well as internal insurgencies until they collapsed anyway and the final hot war that'd trigger the collapse would have been a bloodbath for both sides while the yanks sit in their new york, san francisco, and miami high-rises unaffected think ukraine but with number of casualties in the tens of millions only it will be worse without nukes, like the current war will be worse if russia had no nukes and the best part would be that the hegemony will steal territories and resources from everyone during the entire conflict, from the soviets and the europeans like the way they're planning to steal resources from russia, ukraine, and europe (greenland) over a conflict that no true, patriotic eurasian wanted all told, nukes are a net positive sanctions or no sanctions ambitions or no ambitions the west is demonic -Lord |

bryght4u:do you know that as we speak the hegemony has sanctioned europeans for having the wrong public opinions about their moves from sanctioning ICC judges to un officials like the rapporteur to even authors like jacques bard everyone in europe is a hostage when you're in a position of authority, your personal interest is in navigating the minefield for career growth, help members of your family/clan get excellent economic and career opportunities, and retire to a nice fat pension every other thing is secondary only the french can even utter rhetoric that appears to be anti-american the rest can think it but can't let the words escape their lips hostages. the lot of them. -Lord |

[quote author=WriteerNg post=138164579]โกU.S. Forces seen withdrawing from Dayr Hafir in Northern Syria earlier tonight, shortly before the announced withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from all positions near Aleppo, to the east of the Euphrates River. we said last year that the yanks peaked in the region in 2025, the ๐คก๐คก were besides themselves in anger near everyone want the yanks out but their so-called allies and partners have to be very sneaky about it and not betray their true intentions they also have to fluff the yanks from time to time to keep them from crystallizing around the idea that their previous partner is now a foe that needs to be brought down a peg turkey is going to offer to give up the s-400 and buy the f-35 for a chance to brutalize the kurds likewise saudi arabia would keep the yank arm tax flowing while building a sunni alliance erdogan knows that after the last coup if the hegemony wants to Bleep turkey up again, they'll use a kurdish insurgency like they just attempted to do in iran and they were somewhat successful with in syria saudi arabia has always had their doubts but the syria, yemeni, and somalia schemes moved those doubts into the certainty columns just because you are an ally does not mean the hegemony would not set up rigged explosives in or around your country that they can push at any time to either keep you in line or get something they know you would ordinarily reject (see greenland and canada) it is not enough to have so-called air defense systems that can be turned off against threats to the gulf (qatar) but will be turned on against threats to the hegemony (israel) they also had to try to install an insurgent yemeni puppet state on the saudi border that could be the next kurdish iraq on iran's border this is after they refused to defend against houthi attacks on saudi oil fields with friends like that, who needs enemies everyone is waking up whether they'll succeed in their gambits is a different issue because they're all hopelessly infiltrated -Lord |

After the failed war in Iran, the warmongers are breeding another fictional war in Syria!!!๐๐๐ The same Syriaโs President Ahmed al-Sharaa who issued a decree on Friday formally recognising Kurdish as a โnational languageโ and restoring citizenship to all Kurdish Syrians The decree which for the first time grants Kurdish Syrians rights, including recognition of Kurdish identity as part of Syriaโs national fabric. It designates Kurdish as a national language alongside Arabic and allows schools to teach it There was an agreement brokered by the US between the Kurds and the Syrian government which allowed the Kurds to withdraw from the city of Deir Hafer!! While the Syrian president is making plans to unite his country while also moving to bring inclusiveness to the minorities..our clowns are busy clamouring for war simply because the SDF are US allies!! It must be tough being an axis supporter, raking in loses is now the new normal!! https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/17/syria-decree-grants-kurds-new-rights-formally-recognising-kurdish-language |

WriterrNg:Netanyahoo and CIA regime change expectations have completely crumbled. I must salute the Iranian counterintelligence efforts on this occasion. Netanyahoo will be banging tables right now in Tel Aviv. They spent millions putting this together only to end up I. Ruins. Well, we still have to wait because the US usually love to strike on a Friday when the stock markets have closed. It's Saturday today, so let's see how it pans out from here onward. There is always another Friday. However, one thing is clear: the attack was called off because, without ground troops, the Zionists/CIA cannot succeed. The continuous destruction of the Kurds and weapon caches infiltrating the borders has ruled out any chance of establishing ground control in Iran. A bully will not start a fight if he knows he might get hurt. They should have a second option on the table, even as we await further action on the ME chessboard. Meanwhile, this could be the right time for Iran to move from being reactionary to proactiveness. They should escalate on the intelligence frontier--establish a huge but sophisticated network of agents and saboteurs in enemies territories, including in surrounding countries where US aerier and standoff strike platforms are stationed. They must upgrade to the level of the enemy's intelligence sophistication in armament and planning to ensure that such conditions do not reoccur in the future without being able to inflict similar damage on the enemy from the inside. That way, the enemy will understand that no one has a monopoly of violence. |

Kingsnairaland:A country that is 2 million square kilometres is a tiny island. A country over two times the size of Nigeria is a tiny island. The deranged fellow even said it is smaller than Arabia, when it is even bigger than the entire Saudi Arabia. Or are you talking about the entire Arab world, which even makes the comparison very silly cos it is like comparing Ukraine to the whole of Africa. If the world map makes it look bigger, does the kilometres squared also lies?. Orishirishi weyrey......

nahr:every independent superpower needs nukes iran needs nukes as much as any major power for two unimpeachable reasons 1. they've tussled with every major historical power in their neighborhood, the greeks, turks, arabs, russians, and now the hegemony they have no natural ally 2. they're the protectors of shia islam. if christians, hindus/buddhists, and sunni islam have nukes, iran needs nukes because they're in a terrible neighborhood and no one gives a flying f*ck about shia muslims not the hegemony. not russia. not china. not india. not africans. not south americans. no one. in fact this reason alone is good enough for the ayatollah to void his "no nuke" fatwa without nukes, china would not have been able to bide their time until their wto ascension without worrying about an intervention they were poor and they literally had to fight a proxy war with the hegemony almost immediately after the end of ww2 let's not forget about tiananmen square of 1989, literally two years before the fall of the soviet union likewise india who did the hegemony back during the pakistan-india war? there're still provocations from time to time and they still have a 50% tariff on them for their russia trading relations in high-stakes geopolitics among the major powers the maxim is if you want to remain independent, get nukes and ask questions later -Lord |

โกThe US is discussing the creation of a โPeace Councilโ for Ukraine โ with Russia included. This is reported by the Financial Times. The idea is that the Council would also include representatives of Ukraine, the EU, and NATO. The formal task is to guarantee the implementation of some kind of โpeace planโ and monitor compliance. In reality, this looks like an attempt to create an extra layer that would formalise agreements and force the parties to follow them.

โกPublic internet access may never return to Iran. In a report from the organization Filterwatch, human rights activists in Iran warn that the regime is planning to completely cut Iran off from the global internet. โA secret plan is being prepared to make international internet a government privilege,โ they write in the report. Only individuals handpicked by the regime will be given access. Iranians who have security clearance or have undergone government checks could surf on a filtered version of the global internet, according to the report. โState media and government spokespersons have already signaled that this is a permanent shift and have warned that unrestricted access will not return after 2026โ Internet and telephony were cut off by the regime on January 8, in connection with the massive demonstrations that raged in all of Iran's provinces. |
