The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.
instructive that the dc warmonger class thinks that *this* is a historic tragedy for the united states but financing a genocide for three years is nothing to get too bothered about
Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:
Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?
The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?
Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?
Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.
Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.
main problem with the Dem response is that it reinforces the premise Iran is ontologically evil and its our primary goal to "constrain" and disarm them and the debate is over which party does this most competently. This is blinkered and sets up the logic of future hostilities.
Une grande victoire pour les Albanais !
Le gouvernement albanais annonce l'arrêt des travaux du projet de Kushner et Ivanka et la suspension du projet.
Les foules refusent de rentrer chez elles tant que le projet n'est pas annulé intégralement.
