It’s the Israeli promise: you cease, we fire!

Fuck the Iranian and Israeli dictator governments

You have to choose. You can’t just say “fuck everyone!” and pretend like your stance means anything. Pick one.

They already invested so much money into jars of piss that the only way they can avoid massive losses is if people start buying their jars of piss. They can’t actually back down at this point, they’re so over leveraged on piss jars that they’d lose everything.

No he doesn’t. He can just make shit up! That’s what he’s doing to send soldiers to US cities, after all.

I half expect this to be another pump-and-dump scheme - he tells the insiders he’s going to make this announcement so they can trade on the tariff threat before everyone else, then tells the insiders he’s going to walk it back so they can trade on the relief before everyone else. All the insiders can make money both on the downswing and the upswing while the rest of us suffer.

She understood the assignment. 🇺🇸 🤡

Israel does not have a right to exist.

On the one hand she’s clearly a CIA asset that wants Venezuela’s oil privatized, and this is in the buildup to a US invasion. On the other hand I like to think Trump is fuming that he still hasn’t gotten his prize and that he’ll abandon the invasion idea just to punish Venezuela’s opposition for taking his prize.

I’m coming for that toothbrush 😈

This is bad analysis.

They’re gonna do a false flag on Venezuela because they want to destroy a left-wing government. The fact that it will distract from the Epstein files is a positive side effect, but they are enacting an agenda beyond it.

Obviously Eastern civilization was also shaped by the crusades? I’m just describing the historical forces that lead us to this point and pointing out that Islamophobia isn’t the “new global currency of power” as claimed by the OP. It’s as old as the West as a sociopolitical force of history.

In different historical conditions where the Caliphate conquered the Americas instead of Christendom the exact opposite would have happened, maybe Europe would have been colonized by Asia, but that’s not the world we live in.

But now the Caliphate and the Ottomans are gone. The West conquered the world and colonized the East, so hatred of Islam has become normalized by the hegemon because the West rules the world. But it’s not new.

Be careful with statements like that because one could just as easily reverse them.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say?

My statement is that Western civilization grew out of the crusades, the reason Europe pretends to be a different continent from the rest of Asia. Its the foundation for the Doctrine of Discovery, for Manifest Destiny, for Orientalism and the whole colonial period. It’s what created the West as a sociopolitical force in history.

You can’t reverse it without reversing history. You’d have to let the Caliphate be the ones that conquered the Americas to actually create the reverse situation.

The Fall of Acre to the Mamluks marks the final expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land, though the last major Crusades continued into the late 13th century.

Yes, and Columbus wanted to start another Crusade by opening a Western passage to Asia. The fact that he ran into another continent is the only reason he didn’t try to take back Jerusalem.

But they never stopped! The Europeans took back Jerusalem when they defeated the Ottomans in WW1, then in the 1940s they established Israel as a new crusader state with the stroke of a pen. Instead of Christendom we have Judeochristian values, but there’s a clear continuity.

The point is, the OP is not describing anything new. This is all part of the precession of history, the same historical forces that created the West are still in play today.

This is nothing new. One of the reasons Columbus was trying to find Western passage to Asia was to launch another crusade; finance it by opening Western trade routes and to strategically coordinate it by giving invaders a Western corridor to the holy land. Killing Muslims and eradicating Islam is basically the foundation of Western civilization and modernity.

At the rate things are going they’ll probably deploy ICE to polling stations to “”“stop illegals from voting”“” i.e. intimidate voters. There’s almost certainly no hope in relying on electoralism in that kind of environment. I’ll vote for any candidate that doesn’t support the genicide and you can go ahead and vote too, but maybe start planning to do something else.

You asserted “decades of peace” when Libya was fucking bombed. Libya presented zero threat to Europe or Europeans.

That’s not peace.

Also, is Libya better off today than it was under Qaddafi?

Ask Qaddafi how peaceful they are.

😒

Their bridges with Russia can be rebuilt.

But even if that’s a bridge too far, they could embrace Chinese solar and batteries and electrification. A large up front investment for the ability to generate their own power and cut fossil fuel dependency. China would happily work with them even if they still refuse reproachment with Russia.

Instead they’re just idly waiting for the US to complete their colonization.

And Europeans just sleep walked right into this trap.

There was a massive labor stoppage in Italy in response to Israel’s attacks, and then Italy sends a warship to escort the flotilla.

I hope other unions are paying attention.
