States must choose to stand on the right side of history.

US empire managers have been making some surprisingly honest admissions in recent days, with Senator Lindsey Graham saying the wars of the future are being planned in Israel and Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling for a return to old-school western colonialism.
During a Monday press conference in Tel Aviv after a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, Graham said that “I’ve been coming here every two weeks whether I need to or not.”
Why is a South Carolina senator traveling to Israel every two weeks, rain or shine? The bloodthirsty warmonger answers this question in short order.
“The wars of the future are being planned here in Israel,” Graham said. “Because if you’re not one step ahead of the enemy, you suffer. The most clever, creative military forces on the planet are here in Israel.”
Graham salivated about the possibility of a US war with Iran, acknowledging that such a war could absolutely result in American troops in the region being struck by Iranian missiles but saying the US should go to war anyway.
“Could our soldiers be hit in the region? Absolutely, they could. Can Iran respond if we have an all-out attack? Absolutely, they can,” Graham said, arguing that “the risk associated with that is far less than the risk associated with blinking and pulling the plug and not helping the people as you promised.”
During a speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the mask all the way off in an unsettling rant about the need to return to the good old days when western powers dominated the global south without pretense or apology.
“For five centuries, before the end of the second world war, the West had been expanding — its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe,” Rubio said. “But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.”
Rubio, a notoriously anti-communist gusano, is here admitting that socialism played a leading role in pushing back against the abusive colonialism and empire-building of the western world in recent decades. A normal person would take this as a strong argument in favor of socialism, but Rubio says it like it’s a bad thing.
Rubio urged Europeans to join their white Christian brethren in the United States in re-conquering the brown-skinned communists and heathens who have been insisting upon their own sovereignty and the advancement of their own interests:
“Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization’s past. And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe.
“For the United States and Europe, we belong together. America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new.
“We are part of one civilization — Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.”
It takes a special kind of psychopath to look back with fondness upon five centuries of unchecked western colonialism and imperialism and then advocate a return to those horrific days. Mass genocides across entire continents. The African slave trade. The violent subjugation and enslavement of entire populations. That is what Rubio is looking back on and sighing with nostalgia.
And this is of course to say nothing of the savagery his beloved “Western civilization” is perpetrating in the present day. This is the civilization of the Gaza holocaust. The civilization that cannot exist without constant war, exploitation and extraction. The civilization that is presently strangling Cuba to death and preparing for war with Iran. The civilization that still to this day violently subjugates and robs the global south. The civilization of ecocide. The civilization of Epstein.
Western civilization is the most depraved and abusive civilization that has ever existed. It doesn’t need a return to its prime, it needs to be stopped in its tracks and made healthy. This is obvious from a glance at the deranged empire managers this civilization has been elevating to positions of leadership.
Given the current situation, I honestly didn't think my guest would appear on the show today.
Joining me is Professor Seyed Mohammed Marandi as the U.S. pulls out of its bases in the Middle East, fearing possible retaliation for the potential bombing of Iran.
And all of this over what? Mossad-linked rioters who BURNED A NURSE ALIVE, killed children, and torched mosques, ambulances, and people's property.
You won't hear this on the BBC—join us on the Sanchez Effect.
In the coming hours and days there will be a lot of disinformation and misinformation regarding Venezuela.

Problema?
I have spent thousands of pounds on your brand @adidas as the father of six fashion and sports conscious children. I will not give you a penny more and encourage a #BoycottAdidas campaign internationally. You know the reason.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard revealed that Obama WH knew that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 elections.
"We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure," the Presidential Daily Brief stated.
These daily briefings were hidden away, and a new narrative spun.
Obama and his crew met in the WH and relied on the bogus Steele dossier to come up with 'Putin meddling in US elections by attacking democracy, with Trump as his willing stooge.'
They leaked the tall tale to a compliant, corrupt mainstream media. Russophobia and Russiagate were born, ultimately leading to a never-ending sanctions escalator and the war in Ukraine.
@ATB666666 Fact is.. the "Natural Philosopher" supports:
Occupation
Settler colonialism
Apartheid
Ethnic Cleansing
Collective Punishment
And genocide
This is what you are trying to help "survive"
This is why you don't like "death to the IDF".
This is what got you worried from the start.
@ATB666666 "Since the IDF is all that stands between Israel’s survival"
Like I suspected...
If this was 1940, you'd be worried about people being prejudiced against the SS
@ATB666666 IDF is NOT "people".
IDF is an organization.
Particularly in this context, chanting for the death of an organization that plays a role in a GENOCIDE is understandable -- if not morally correct. Mostly, is not at all the same as calling for the death of blacks, socialists, etc...
@foreignerjohnn@RedRosa91940184 My twitter doesn't even let me see your reply.
Even after I click "show".
I guess there is no room for a good, honest debate.
Have a nice life.
