How about the open meddling and destabilisation on record instead of conspiracy theory.
Just one example, one of the very first, the CIA was new to this at the time

Since then its only gotten meaner and better at this game.


But while we are on conspiracy
Its not just limited to the US, the EU do it to, in Africa. Beloved Muammar was assassinated under the direction of Clinton and Nicolas Sarkozy to cover up his dirty work, which he eventually got prosecuted for.

The US has strategic interests in keeping the middle east destabilised and not too friendly, Israel is incredibly useful for that goal.

In exchange Israel is given licence to perform colonial displacement and murder of the native peoples. It's a symbiotic relationship. I wouldn't be surprised if the attacks on Iran didn't originate with Trump but were requested.

Being anti-colonial is equated as be antisemitic, but that only holds true if you respect peoples religious beliefs, which I don't. I don't believe in their Imaginary  Friend any more than I believe in the Muslims Imaginary friend or the Christan's or whatever flavour they want to put on it, no more than I believe in my own God Eris, exactly as she commanded.
So Instead I see a Colonial nation saying to the western world "you all got your turn now its mine". There are mitigating factors, there are neighbours who want to wipe out Israel (that their government actively encourages and ensures will continue indefinitely), but the bottom line is we have a colonial power expanding its borders in a land grab, destabilizing its neighbours on purpose, and goaded on by the all the previous colonial powers that prop it up in the western nations support, weapons and diplomatic leverage, worst of all being the United states.

That's come back to bite them though, listening to Netanyahu has led to the objective most humiliating strategic military failure the US has experienced in recent history, maybe ever. Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan you can argue the US got something out of it,  but this was something baffling to watch unfold.

Before the attacks Iran didn't control the Gulf of Hormuz, it does now, Trump even tweeted day before yesterday calling it "The Gulf of Iran" imagine that. Trump is often lauded for calling-it-as-it is.

The Gulf of Iran. It wasn't before. It is now.

Maybe, just maybe, this will give the US pause to its horrific foreign policy (and I don't just mean under Republicans) that it has pushed since world war two. Maybe Congress might end these STUPID executive orders at least for military power and centralise that with themselves again.

But for now I am enjoying this, its hilarious to see the this backfire so dramatically.

Iran state media with a banger of a tune on the fat orange pedophile

If the dems had riz like this we wouldn't have to deal with these retards again

Definitely not above that, his betrayal of his Christian followers feels baffling they ever thought he was anything but a vice pit but I guess picking a fight with the pope was that final too far point

Is he the anti christ? no. Is he Caligula, yes, if Caligula was also somehow the horse

Welcome to the board

Fuck off with your low effort tiktok links

A war with Russia outright in Europe is very unlikely.
Though there is a lot of support for Ukraine in Europe, and Europe needed to present a unified front, there is a lot of sympathy for Russia from Greece, Italy, Hungary, Spain Ireland and Portugal.

But to actually understand that you need to know what is motivating Russia. US interference in Poland, the Radar base and missile placement antagonised them, but they dont have any Colonial goals, what would they gain by invading europe, fuck all, and they wouldnt be able to hold it.

It is true that Eastern Ukrain were largely sympathetic too and culturally "more russian", granted it was mostly because they were propped up by russia economically to support that.

If there were going to be any more land grabs they will be limited to Eastern Latvia which has a similar cultural thing going on.

I mean its obvious there will be reprisals, but that "sure yeah whatever" attitude is quite funny.

I love how they insisted on Charlie Kirk being beatified, but the troops who died serving their country are to be ignored becuase it somehow takes away from Trumps Iran win.

Iran has a lot of problems, but this is pointless murder of civilians. Firing missles blindly into residential targets and schools killing children isnt going to overthrow the government. Nor will calling on its citizens, they are not armed, trained and have very in the little in the way of of resources to combat their government. Any protests have just led to deaths in the thousands.

This accomplishes nothing.

In terms of investment the EU has realised it has to stop having infrastructure tied in with American companies, that will be permanent but its going to take about 5-10 years

Allow me to suggest moving faster than that.

Weapons and defence already started and will increase every year, what i mean is:
All energy, water, electrical, medical etc have quietly been told no more azure, google cloud or AWS. We got a consultation and it was "when can you have extracted non eu services"

I suspect the more innertia or pushback businesses provide, the more aggressive the eu level legislation on this stuff will be.

They dont just want defence independence, they want everything down to Mastercard out of Europe within a decade

Being black and Asian American is dismissing the fact that she represented "more of the same" an outsider would have had better odds

That was part of it but she was also continuing very tried and tested voice of the establishment that Biden had represented, there's no appetite for that.
Its the reason AOC had a chance and Harris would have none

AOC was not on the ballot seeking the nomination of the Democratic Party for POTUS in 2024. Joe Biden won the majority of the pledged delegates during the party's primary process, easily beating two (2) other already long forgotten male contenders. But, Biden ended his campaign for reelection before being officially nominated. Then, as per Rule 13J of the party's delegate selection rules, pledged delegates were left free to vote for whoever they wanted to be their candidate. And, after the delegates negotiated among themselves, Kamala Harris was nominated to run for POTUS, without a second national level Democratic Party primary vote being held. So, I'm unaware of any serious possibility where "AOC had a chance" to run for the office, much less become the current POTUS.

But, let me get this straight:

On Tuesday, Election Day, November 5th, 2024, 77,303,568 'Mericans had the choice between a very old, unhealthy looking, white, male, boorish, misogynist, racist, Putin lovin', pedophile friending, twice impeached, economy sinking, COVID-19 pandemic denying, 2020 election losing, failed January 6th insurrection leading, convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist, that was on the ballot with an 'R' after its name, and Vice President Kamala Harris. And, each of those voters said to themselves something to the effect of, "Oh, hell yeah, baby! Gimme some more of that first one! I don't want no "very tried and tested voice of the establishment" politician runnin' no gubernment of mine!

Come on?! Seriously?! Are you really going to go with that?!

Yes because as vile as Trump is he had:
The racists
The disgruntled youth with no hope of ever owning a home in a society that bailed themselves out by sacrificing their kids futures.
The accelerationists and those looking for an outsider.
Conservatives that hold their nose and vote the party.

AoC would have appealed to two of the above groups.

If you keep assuming that every one of his voters was a racist then the same exact thing will happen again next time
