@DonaldBKipkorir Donald, it's GCC complicity. Despite USA and Israel nuclear armed, they can't fight. Genocides in Libya Iraq Yemen Lebanon Syria were directly enabled and funded by the GCC. According to whistleblower, since 2004 USA and Israel have taken oil funds worth US$ 220 trillion.

Looking at Iran fighting back, one has to wonder if they're keeping them in that state to prevent whatever they would become from ever seeing the light of day. Them Persians would flourish. Hope to see a world where they/we get to exist free of colonization.

Yesterday, once again, I had to explain on national television in Belgium that the right to freedom, sovereignty, and armed resistance against occupation is not reserved for Europeans alone, but applies equally to non-European peoples.

Last year, I had an argument with someone about Venezuela, and why it had hordes of people migrating towards the United States. It does seem many are seeped in Hollywood fantasies and don't understand how the world works. The United States since the time of Hugo Chavez has put Venezuela under crippling sanctions severely limiting its ability to trade, and killing its economy for not toeing the Western line. That economic downturn made many Venezuelans look for greener pastures, and the natural place is the United States which Is the bigger economy. Under Trump, he went hung-ho. America continued to block Venezuela's oil exports, which is their primary source of income to force political and economic concessions. The United States imposed comprehensive sanctions and naval blockades on the Carribean interdicting and seizing oil tankers in Venezuela's shadow fleet. The United States also accused Venezuela of drug connections as a justification for its interdiction. And on January 3rd,2026, United States invaded Venezuela, capturing its President Nicholas MADURO, killing his Presidential Guards, and instantly changed tune, claiming they would now control Venezuelan's oil. Let's now use an example of where this has happened back home. In 19th century Nigeria across the length and breadth of Oil Palm Rivers. The Elder Brother of America now and undisputed power of the 19th century. Great Britain, and Its Royal Niger Company. African merchants like King Jaja of Opobo, and Nana Olomu of Itsekiri for example built prosperous trading networks, and sought to control prices as middle-men. The Royal Niger Company acting under British Royal Charter and Naval power refused this and called it "illegitimate trade". They wanted a monopoly on the lucrative palm oil trade and control it by eliminating African middlemen. The British Navy blocked access to markets through naval patrols of creeks and rivers and imposed exclusives trade agreements using military force against locall leaders that dared resist. The Royal Niger Company bombarded Ebrohimi, the capital of Nana Olomu in 1894. In 1897, the British lured King Jaja of Opobo who opposed British monopoly on palm oil, and levied taxes on British traders to a meeting. He was persuaded by British Vice Consul, Harr Hamilton Johnston to board the warship HMS Goshawk for negotiations, promising his safety. Once boarded, Jaja of Opobo was accused of obstructing trade and acting against British interests and informed he would be deported! He was deported first to St Vincent and later Barbados. After years of campaigns, to free him, he was granted permission to return home, but died in Tenerife, allegedly wildly believed to have been poisoned with a cup of tea he took. Palm Oil was the "petroleum" of the 19th century and it lubricated the machines of the Industrial Revolution. The Americans of the 21st century use helicopter deployed naval commandoes. The British of the 19th century used gunboats. The Americans of 21st century use financial sanctions. The British of the 19th century use local trade duties. The objective is the same. To the big countries,Ensuring steady, cheap and secure flow of resources from other countries into theirs is a matter of national interest. If it means undermining economic sovereignty of the nations that possess them. So be it. If you understand how fabulously wealthy Britain became off the backs of its colonies, or how the Petro-dollar system has bolstered America's economy. You would calm down and stop writing annoying tropes like "They want to get visa into US". Spend some time understanding how the world has worked first.

@RnaudBertrand Neocon/Israeli mistake was going after Iraq first. Iran read “axis of evil” speech as “declaration of war.” They had 24 years to get ready. If Russia had fulfilled fighter jet contract, the ballgame would have been much worse for US/ISR. x.com/s_mahendraraja…
Shivan Mahendrarajah@S_Mahendrarajah

29 Jan 2002: U.S. Declares War on Iran OTD 24 years ago: the “Axis of Evil” torpedo, designed and primed by Israel, was launched at Iran by Bush. Rep. Ike Skelton, Ranking Democrat, House Armed Svcs Cmte, read the speech as a “declaration of war.” Tehran read it as a “declaration of war.” On Wed., 30 Jan, the day after SOTU, an Iranian diplomat, on meeting his US counterpart at the UN offices in Kabul, told him, “[Qasem] Suleimani is in a tearing rage…” Consequently, Iran devised its current “Anti-Access/Area Denial” (A2/AD) strategy, viz., 2,000+km ballistic missile “Ring of Fire.” Missile & drone programs began expanding. Meanwhile, Iran purchased time for R&D and for its defenses to develop by bogging down US forces in the Afghan and Iraqi quagmires. Haji Qasem kept the “pot simmering at the right temperature” in IRQ & AFG. Today, not even the “Moustache,” Madam Lindsey or “Tel Aviv Ted” yap about invading Iran. “Boots on the ground” is not an option. US & ISR are principally limited to standoff weapons. US naval vessels and aircraft must confront Iran’s robust A2/AD strategy. It’s almost showtime. Iran had 24 years to prepare. Deficiencies in its arsenal—e.g., nuclear warheads, Su-35 jets—are due to a lack of political foresight or will, and dependency on foreign suppliers. Sipah, Artesh, and 1000s of Iranian scientists and technicians did their duty. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will be remembered in Iranian history in the manner of Cyrus II or Yazdegard III. This is not to be facetious, or to liken him to either personage. Cyrus and Yazdegard symbolize beginnings or endings of periods in Iranian and world history. Cyrus II, “Cyrus the Great” (d. ca. 600 BC), defeated the Medes and established the Achaemenid Empire. If Iran triumphs over the barbarians at its gates, a new epoch in Iranian history will follow; one that is, hopefully, free of war, threats, saboteurs, and sanctions. Yazdegard III (d. 651 AD), lost the Sasanian Empire to Arab tribesmen. It took Iran forever to recover from this trauma. The Iranian historian, Zarrinkoob, describes the post-Sasanian era as “the two centuries of silence.” In contrast, Iran began recovering more rapidly after the Mongol invasions (1217 AD ff). Chingiz Khan’s progeny were enlightened. They honored all faiths & patronized the arts. New styles of Iranian-Islamic architecture and art emerged; they can still be seen across Iran and in museums. Iran-China relations thrived; both ancient civilizations benefited from trade, culture, science, and technology. The gist is that the Mongols of Iran were Persianized (= civilized) and Islamicized. Mongols get a bad rap in popular culture, but historians have nuanced views. The savage hordes now baying for Iranian blood are worse than the Mongols. *** Notes: 1. Bush’s speechwriter, David Frum, was an “acolyte” of PM Ariel Sharon (source: Robert Novak). Frum was not a US Citizen when he was “hired” (by whom?). How did a non-citizen get a key post at the White House? And TS or TS/SCI security clearance to get close to POTUS? 2. The original “Axis of Evil” was Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and reflected the plan by Richard Perle, et al., “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm” (1996). However, to avoid showing Israel’s hand, Syria was dropped and North Korea added. NK did not test its first nuke until 2006, but official DC only obsesses about Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand·
I don't think people realize just how extraordinary what we're witnessing with Iran is. I was arguing with a dear journalist friend of mine yesterday who was telling me that Iran was winning, yes, but only on the strategic level, not tactically. The type of thing a skinny kid getting stuffed in lockers in highschool tells himself to make himself feel better: "These people will BEG to work for me in ten years. Everyone knows jocks peak in highschool. They'll literally beg." 😏 I think that's precisely wrong, and that's what makes the Iran war different. As of now, Iran is in fact holding its own tactically too. Think about other U.S. wars of aggression these past few decades. Take Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Serbia, etc. (the list is unfortunately very long). The pattern was roughly always the same with an immense power differential between aggressor and victim. These wars were, by and large, imperial: the empire attempting to crush a much weaker people whose only realistic recourse was guerrilla resistance. And that is when they actually had the will to resist: some - like Libya - barely even bothered, just resigning themselves to their fate (despite being, at the time, the richest country in Africa). As spectators of these wars, if you had any moral sense, the dominant emotion was a kind of helpless disgust: you were watching a giant stomp through someone else's house. Sure, the U.S. actually lost many - if not most - of these wars, famously replacing the Taliban with the Taliban or being expelled with their tail between their legs from Vietnam, but the power differential was no less real for it. It's just that power doesn't always guarantee victory: sometimes the giant can't kill everyone, and eventually tires of trying. But the “victories” won this way were always pyrrhic at best: the people endured, yes, but what they were left with was a country in ashes that takes decades to rebuild. Meanwhile, in the grand scheme of things, the giant walked away with little more than a bruised ego. Iran is - remarkably - proving to be an entirely different beast: when others were merely surviving a giant, Iran appears to be able to compete with one. What just happened over the past 48 hours is the best illustration of this. You had the President of the United States issue a formal ultimatum: reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or we "obliterate" your power grid. Iran's response was essentially: we dare you, if you do this we'll make all your Gulf allies uninhabitable within a week. And, as we saw, Trump backed down: pretexting non-existent "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" with Iran, he said his ultimatum no-longer applied (or, rather, became 5 days). Adding he now envisaged the Strait of Hormuz being “jointly controlled by me and the Ayatollah.” To the amusement of Iran’s diplomacy (x.com/IraninSA/statu…). That, folks, is a textbook tactical victory. It is, remarkably, Iran demonstrating in this instance that it had escalation dominance over the United States of America. That is, the ability to credibly threaten consequences so severe that the US - for perhaps the first time since the Cold War - found it preferable to stand down. That's no skinny kid being locked in a locker dreaming of revenge fantasies. That's the kid grabbing the bully's wrist mid-shove and watching his face change. And it's not the only tactical victory in this war so far. Take the episode over the Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars gas facility. Iran had warned that if that happened U.S. allies in the region - including Israel - would face a symmetrical response. And they delivered: famously devastating Qatar's Ras Laffan facility - which produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply - and leading, according to Qatar themselves, to a $20 billion loss of annual revenue for the next 5 years (oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-…). Not only that but they also managed to hit Israel's Haifa refinery (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…), one of the country's most strategic and protected sites. The result was Trump distancing himself from the South Pars attack, saying that Israel had "violently lashed out" unilaterally and that "NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field." Israel then said it wouldn't strike Iran energy sites anymore (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…). From where I stand, that's another tactical victory. It is, at least, Iran demonstrating that is can fight back **symmetrically** against the U.S. and its allies. Not through asymmetric resistance with IEDs hidden in the roadside or traps hidden in the jungle, but eye for eye, and against some of the most heavily protected sites on the U.S.'s side. That's qualitatively different from any other adversaries the U.S. has directly fought in recent wars. There's plenty more, such as the pretty relevant fact that Iran has gained control of the single most strategic energy chokepoint on earth and the U.S. is finding it impossible to break that control. To the point where Trump has been reduced to publicly begging China - of all countries - for help, which given Trump's ego mustn't have been easy to do. Only to be told no. By China. And by everyone else he asked. This is the topic of my latest article: how this is, in fact, the first genuine "multipolar war." First, in the narrow sense: because Iran is revealing itself to be a genuine pole of power - not a superpower, but an actor that cannot be submitted, which is all multipolarity is. And second, because the war itself is accelerating multipolarity everywhere else: the U.S. has never been more isolated, never looked weaker and its security guarantees have never been more hollow. In my article I lay out the full scoreboard - military, economic, political - and explain why this war has already changed the world, regardless of how it ends.

Today, in Imam Square in Esfahan, we had a cup of tea with two vendors of Persian rugs. We asked them for their views about the U.S.-Israel war to ‘liberate’ them. We also asked them about diaspora Iranians who support Trump, Netanyahu and the Shah’s son. Have a listen.

Parents of the 168 schoolchildren killed in Minab are struggling to process the scale of the loss, returning each night to keep vigil at their children’s graves. Drop Site correspondent Mahmoud Aslan reported that families arrive carrying rugs and cushions, food, water, and candles, placing them beside the small, freshly dug graves. They clean the tombstones, tend the surrounding earth, and settle in for the night—keeping a quiet vigil until dawn. 🎥 Video report by @8Sarmad (full report is linked below)
