Israel continues to starve the Palestinians with the support of the EU, the UK and the US. How dare any of them speak of Human Rights and International Law again...

Cuba has been on the State Sponsors of Terror list, on and off, for decades.

Cuba.

A country that has not invaded anyone.

A country that has sent doctors to disaster zones, not soldiers to oil fields.

A country that has been the target of hundreds of documented assassination attempts and sabotage operations organized by the American government.

Meanwhile the designation exists.

The designated country is Cuba.

The country doing the designating organized, by its own declassified records, a genuine campaign of terror against the designated country.

This is not a paradox.

It is the system working exactly as it was designed to.

Perhaps it is American soldiers who should lay down their arms and overthrow the regime.

CIA TELLS RUSSIA TO COOL IT IN UKRAINE AND TO PUT PRESSURE ON IRAN: PUTIN SAYS 'NYET'

[Brian Berletic @BrianJBerletic]

I should add that, technically, the US and Europe are doing "affordable mass" in the form of the drones transferred to Ukraine, from the AI-driven Hornet being used in medium range attacks to the various "FP" drones "Ukraine" is using to strike deep inside Russia.

This program is separate from the primary US military industrial base for political reasons.

And while these systems are many times more numerous than the weapons the US manufacturers officially for its own military, they still fall far short of just Russian military industrial production, saying nothing of what China can and does produce.

Recent claims of "transferring" manufacturing information for missiles like the Storm Shadow and other clearly Western weapons is meant to politically launder their use against more sensitive targets inside Russia through "Ukraine."

⚡️BREAKING: China warns US against any attempt to Disrupt its Relations with Iran by Threatening Sanctions

"China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests"

US workers’ wages and salaries have fallen to 43% of national income, the lowest since the Great Depression.

The majority of the nation’s income is now going to corporations and shareholders off the backs of our labor.

Techno utopianism only makes sense when you don't know the tech is run by an alliance of narcissistic billionaires and psychopathic government agencies who have no interest in creating a better world and would happily incinerate billions of people to obtain more money and power.

The biggest irony in all this is that they started the war because - from the US's standpoint - so-called "Maximum Pressure" sanctions weren't working.

Now, 6 months later, since the war didn't work, they're going back to sanctions and rebranding it "Operation Economic Outcast."

[The Sirius Report @thesiriusreport]

The big myth is the world needs to utilise dollars.

The reality is the US needs the world to desperately utilise dollars.

It is why years ago that Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were killed, under bogus pretexts, because in reality they suggested not utilising the dollar in energy and other trade.

It’s crazy this even needs to be said, but if you are a westerner your ONLY job is to oppose the abuses of the western empire. Not Iran. Not China. Not Russia, Cuba or North Korea.

If you live in the US or one of its allied nations, then you live under the single most tyrannical and murderous power structure on earth, and that’s where your focus belongs. You do not have any legitimacy in squandering any of your energy and attention criticizing human rights abuses in empire-targeted nations while living under a globe-spanning empire that is fueled by a nonstop river of human blood. It is not okay for you to use your western privilege to attack the nations your own government is working to help absorb into the power structure you live under.

Whenever I say this online I’ll get some Trotskyist or anarchist babbling about the need to express “solidarity” with Iranian political prisoners or whatever, but whenever I press them on what actual, material benefit those expressions of “solidarity” bring to the people they’re meant to help, they can’t point to anything solid. Whereas I can point to some very obvious ways in which contributing to an imperial war propaganda campaign can help grease the wheels for real material actions which hurt actual Iranians.

If you’re a westerner, you have an obligation to use your voice responsibly. If you are feeding into the latest “the people in the empire-targeted nation need liberation from their evil tyrannical government” war propaganda narrative with your expressions of “solidarity” and your blind insistence on treating all bad things as equally bad, then you are using your western voice irresponsibly, and you are morally culpable for the mass slaughter you help facilitate with your recklessness.

It’s not okay to be a citizen of the western empire and act like human rights abuses in an empire-targeted nation are of equal or comparable concern to the far more egregious abuses of your own leaders and their allies. It’s also not okay to be a fully grown adult and believe the use of force in empire-targeted governments is happening separately from their targeting by the empire, as though Iran would look the way it looks today if the US and Israel had not been working to collapse and control it for generations.

Iran has only survived the latest imperial onslaught because Tehran tightly controls what happens in that country. The only reason we didn’t see Xinjiang absorbed into the western power umbrella with the help of CIA-backed separatists is because Beijing waged a sweeping crackdown on the extremist factions who’d been launching attacks in the province. The only reason North Korea has gone relatively unmolested by the western empire in recent years is because its government obtained nuclear weapons. It’s baby-brained analysis to pretend such things happen independently of the US and its allies working to take control of unabsorbed nations and force them into compliance with Washington’s capitalist world order.

The western empire therefore makes the world a crueler and more abusive place not only by its direct acts of cruelty and abuse, but by the way it forces its targets to choose between (A) annihilation and (B) using extreme amounts of force to retain their sovereignty. The empire we live under is responsible for the vast majority of the dysfunction and misery in our world, and yet you as a westerner want to spend your time yelling at Iran? Fuck off, man.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

The same Bessent who deluded himself into thinking back in April 2025 that all countries would join the US in a "grand economic encirclement" of China (https://t.co/1llOlACo8r), only to fold a few weeks later because no-one joined.

Now he's recycling the same script against Iran and it's even more deluded because it requires the cooperation of China - the very country he tried and failed to isolate last year - and China is obviously refusing.

You couldn't make this up.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳NEW VIDEO: Anduril: “Hyperscaling” the Worst of America’s Military Industrial Complex

On YouTube: https://t.co/0v8FSOErer

"Despite the US literally bombing Iran and fighting Russia within its own borders by proxy through Ukraine - neither Russia nor Iran (nor China) have ever attacked the United States within its borders. Within these same US borders, neglect of education, healthcare, and infrastructure has visibly, tangibly reduced the quality of life for the average American.

Corporations like Anduril siphoning off tax dollars for threats abroad that do not exist, making these resources unavailable to solve threats to Americans at home that do exist - are responsible for this.

In the end, Palmer Luckey and Anduril - as well as other arms manufacturers and profiteering industries driving US foreign policy abroad - pose a much greater threat in reality to the average American and their way of life, than any threat Russia or China are claimed to pose in fiction."
