Peter Lavelle

On a personal note: My father fought there. It was a nightmare. Veterans of the battle rarely spoke about - there were few words to convey the human catastrophe

Lindsey Graham on Iran’s Kharg Island: ‘We did Iwo Jima. We can do this’ REMINDER: Nearly 6,900 US troops were killed in Iwo Jima

🇷🇺 Today is the birthday of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov. He has served as Foreign Affairs Minister since 2004, during which Russia has rebuilt its global power and gained independence in its foreign policy decisions after the tragedy of the 1990s which saw the CIA-backed traitor Andrei Kozyrev attempted to enslave Russia to the interests of NATO and the International Monetary Fund. His approach to foreign policy has now become the greatest model for what diplomacy should look like in the 21st century and he has proven himself to be hero not just of the Russian Federation but to all patriotic anti-imperialists who seek to break free from Western-led unipolarity and US dollar-denominated debt slavery. I extend Minister Lavrov many congratulations on his birthday and wish him good health and many more years in service to the great Russian civilization!

US DRAWS UP IRAN PEACE TALK DEMANDS — Axios AMERICAN DEMANDS: - No missile program (5 years) - Zero uranium enrichment - Nuclear sites dismantled - Outside monitoring of centrifuges - Missiles capped at 1000 - No proxy funding WTF 😳??? Wait for Tehran’s terms!

Yep

This war - what is at stake? The end of one world order and the advent a new, better and more equitable order. We aren’t there yet. But this is the goal. Iran is leading the way. Godspeed.

@TarikCyrilAmar You are always right my friend!

@PLCROSSTALK Not yet. They need more punishment still.

Have you noticed the west’s political class and chattering cadres are all “experts” on Iran and Russia, while knowing nothing about either beyond cheap propaganda and talking points? They are always wrong and never face consequences for their buffoonery. (Maybe that’s over now)

@TarikCyrilAmar Makes no sense to me

Re the US leak alleging Russia offered to cut loose Iran if the US cuts loose Ukraine: 1) It's a suspected nightmare scenario. 2) It COULD be true and would be incredibly shortsighted on Moscow's part. 3) BUT 1 and 2 also mean it could be Western information war. 4) A US leak is definitely insufficient evidence.

@anders_aslund @Edwina_Currie The internet is working just fine in Moscow. I am using the internet to send this message after all. Yes, it can be a bit dodgy at times. NATO is at war with Russia. Europe will suffer more than internet interruptions soon. Blowback is a bitch, yeah?

This looks really serious. Russia has closed down the internet even in Moscow. GPS does not work, not even for taxidrivers. Modern Russians live of and with the internet. This Stalinist nonsense suggests that the authorities sense they are losing political control.

Iran has always had a nuclear option: closing the Strait of Hurmuz. Its closure (or gating) is far more powerful than a nuclear weapon (and the world acutely feels it).

Cuba and Greenland be worried. Trump is losing in Iran, which means you are both easy pickings. Daddy has his needs (even if they are cheap and easy wins).

Trump: At the end of the day you will have to take the knee. This can done the easy way or the hard way. Up to you. We all are watching….

There won’t be peace in West Asia until there is a state for the Palestinians. Period!

Israel’s “gazafication” of West Asia has come home. Israel has brought this upon itself. Israel’s countless victims in the region have no sympathy for you. Justice in this case is cruel but sadly necessary. West Asia should be a place of peace. Maybe it will be soon.

If there is to be forced regime change in the Persian Gulf, it will most likely be the Gulf Monarchies - not Iran.

@s_m_marandi @what2happened Godspeed!

Better voices will emerge.

We don’t need to debate, just talk

Michael Tracey I have a question for you: It is obvious you don’t like anyone and you enjoy being hated by all. Is this on purpose? Is this a business plan of sorts? Just saying … just an observation. Feel free to hate me…
