@lorddrey All parts of the North experiencing terrorism have mineral resources that are freely extracted by foreign and local oligarchs. The terrorists expel local populace and provide them the cover to mine in peace.
The conflict with Iran is not about nuclear weapons.
It never was.
It is a clash between two entirely different views of existence.
The empire sees the world as dead matter to be extracted, priced, and dominated. Everything has a number. Every nation has a price. Submit to the ledger, or be destroyed.
Iran sees the world as something with purpose, destiny, and meaning beyond the balance sheet. A civilization 2,500 years old that refuses to kneel before a spreadsheet.
That is why sanctions don't work. You cannot starve a civilization into submission when it does not worship your god.
And the West's only god is the dollar.
The empire demands compliance. It wants Russia compliant, Iran compliant, Ansarallah compliant. Because these are the nations that looked at the "rules-based order" and said: No. We will build our own.
But here is the part the ruling class cannot admit:
The money is gone.
- The US now pays more in debt interest than its entire defense budget.
- Europe is closing hospital beds and cutting school funding to find another €155 billion for Zelensky.
- The working class is told to accept "short-term pain" while the financial elite post record profits.
The empire is trying to fight 21st-century wars with a bankrupt checkbook.
So what does a ruling class do when it can no longer buy compliance, and can no longer enforce it?
It panics.
In the UK, the government is telling citizens to stockpile tinned food and water, blaming "Russian sabotage" for its own collapse.
In Washington, they refuse to even speak to Putin about actual security. Instead they send envoys offering "reconstruction funds" as bribes, completely ignoring that sovereign civilizations demand security, not charity.
They cannot accept that they are no longer the head of the world.
So they will use the threat of World War III to distract you from the fact that the hospitals are closing, the debt is unpayable, and the empire is broke.
They are preparing you for war because they cannot survive the peace of a multipolar world.
@thatdayin1992 The West looted and keeps looting Africa till today. All terrorism on African soil are to perpetuate the looting. If a Gov't rejects the looting and send them parking, they ignite terrorists to destabilize the country.
