@humairawins @mehdirhasan In Colonialism (a system of thieves) European robbers invaded a land because their ancestors lived there, they feel divine entitlement to maim and kill to own it. If the owners attack the thieves or their helpers, how's this wrongful? Attack is wrongful if there is no provocation

@NuryVittachi The US–Israeli war violates Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. This is a war of aggression aimed at stealing Iran’s resources (uranium/oil) and installing a puppet government. Therefore, the US blockade of ships, including killings on the high seas, is also illegal.

@NuryVittachi Donald Trump is a terrorist heading a terrorist organization called US government.

THE U.S. KILLED three Indian sailors on Wednesday, it was confirmed.

An American aircraft shot a missile into the tanker's engine room as it transited the Gulf of Oman, causing the death of three crewmen. They were likely blown to pieces, with their remains lost at sea.

It was the US’s eighth illegal attack on commercial ships.

The US navy said the Palau-flagged ship, the M/T Settebello, “repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces".

However, the US has no legal authority to give orders in the waters of Oman, which is more than 11,000 kilometers away from the American coast.

.

BROKENHEARTED
A family in Himachal Pradesh said they were brokenhearted after having been informed that one of the dead was their family member Aditya Sharma, who was serving as a deck cadet. They are hoping his remains can be recovered.

The Indian government expressed shock. "We condemn the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello off the coast of Oman, earlier today,” said India’s Ministry of External Affairs in a statement.

“Of the 24 Indian crew onboard, 21 Indians have been rescued thus far and three Indians are reportedly missing. Our Embassy in Oman is closely monitoring the situation and proactively coordinating with the Omani authorities in the ongoing Search and Rescue operation.”

.

SECOND ATTACK ON INDIAN CREW
On Monday, US forces bombed the Marivex, another oil tanker with an Indian crew in the Gulf of Oman, with a Palau registration.

In that instance, all 24 crew were rescued by the Omani military.

And again in that case, US Central Command said that the ship failed to comply with US instructions.

The US has intimidated 134 ships to turn away and attacked eight vessels whose crews defied threats, according to Centcom.

.

NO LEGAL RIGHT
No country has the legal right to randomly stop ships anywhere in the world--let alone attack them. The US is doing what it claims Iran is doing, although the Iranians are clearly defending themselves on their own coastline, while the Americans are supposed to be on the other side of the world.

Still, Washington, protected by powerful allies, including Israel and the UK, is never held accountable for war crimes.

"This is simply unacceptable," Arsenio Dominguez, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization, said on Wednesday, after the killing of the Indian seamen were reported.

@doshmanhere @baddest_cash From birth to death, individuals exhibit dependency on relationships/systems, so is the secular-liberal idea of freedom even real, or a means of control?

@AryJeay @PahlaviReza Secularism creates greedy, ruthless, selfish, tribal bigots. They're narcotised with fake freedom (no self-control) indulging in sins. A shallow materialistic existence with oppressive stratified money system, You either serve God and true morals, or be a slave to rich leaders.

[Ali @abban01]

@doshmanhere So, is the English you're using to communicate African? Are democracy and secularism African inventions? Why do you think that any system not originating from western colonialism/neocolonialism is slavery? @baddest_cash

@big_motiv8 @DavidHundeyin @D_Honola1 @myronsburnerrr The idea that Islam spread to West Africa through slavery or violence is a false narrative promoted by Western Atheists/Christian evangelists. Scholars have documented the nature of its spread many centuries ago.

During a 2016 speech by Ayatollah Khamenei, members of the crowd began chanting that they would sacrifice their lives for the Leader.

Here is how the martyred Leader responded.

For Israel and the lobby backing the Iran War regardless of location - the issue is not a nuclear Iran, the issue is dominance in the region. Therefore it doesn’t stop at Iran. It brings Turkey, Egypt next. It brings other GCC under its ambit. The US admin ask of Abraham Accords signing is elementary in this light.

For decades Israel has seen USA act as its proxy in the region. With USA wanting to withdraw status of global security operator and reshore geography to the Greater Americas; there is a vacuum.
Israel doesn’t want any other country to fill this gap be it KSA, Qatar, Turkey, Iran or Egypt.

Now look at American actions in Cuba and this won’t seem strange at all.

Israel wants to take over the role of regional hegemon in the Gulf. It suits USA too as this way it is both in charge and yet not responsible.

Anyone viewing the alliances from a sentimental perspective should understand USA is very transactional. It needed GCC then. Today things are different.

USA is backing off from GCC. Meanwhile it is also giving room to Israel to expand in South America.

Thus the reactions for Oman should come as no surprise.

Of course with Oman - USA is once again opening up the front of old European money, City of London with the trans American tech lobby.

Fascinating times!!!

Oman is at least 15th country Trump has either threatened to attack, declined to rule out attacking, or actually attacked during his presidency

George Washington declined to be featured on currency when he was living, fearing it would be reminiscent of a monarch.

Congress in 1866 passed the Thayer amendment, which stated "no portrait or likeness of any living person shall be engraved or placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States."

And clearly epstine s agent trump doesn’t care about USA interests.

He brought humiliation and trillion in destruction to USA military. Now loosing its last few friendly Arab nation. Who will give the finger to this child rapist

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

What Israel "want" is irrelevant. They are the help. A proxy like Ukraine.

General Wesley Clarke gave you the list. As soon as Syria was done, the US moved on Iran, as well as Venezuela.

Oil, gas, trade routes.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel on geopolitics and imperialism.

Good morning. A reminder that the IDF intentionally kills little children in Gaza, after it issues evacuation orders for a given area. Last Nov, for example, it justified the murder of unarmed children (8 and 10) who wandered into an evacuated zone (past the "yellow line").
