That’s all good and well but the fact of the matter is that the U.S. and western allies are intervening, and we have intervened continuously since we overthrew their secular democratic government in 1953. Since the Islamic Revolution overthrew our puppet regime in 1979, we have crippled their economy with sanctions, assassinated leaders and civilian scientists, and bombed their country. Even if you believe these revolts are 100% organic, manifesting spontaneously with no assistance or encouragement from Mossad, CIA, etc (doubtful), the context is that the people have already been victimized and pushed to the brink by western powers as much as their own government. That is context that simply cannot be ignored, particularly since this looks a lot like 1953.

Please. Opposing intervention is not the same as “supporting the regime”. By the way, how did that theocratic dictatorship come to be?

We could call it “Operation Ajax Part II: The Stupiding”

Same in the U.S. These people don’t give a fuck about violence, they’re just racists who don’t like multiethnic enclaves in their country, and resent that the “blue” cities have the best education, food, style, that we are the cultural drivers, and that we live in relative harmony.

Yeah this shit happens here in America. When people ask me “isn’t it violent in your city?”, I say “yes it’s horrifically violent, you shouldn’t come here”.

Why does the EU feel compelled to negotiate with Britain at all? Does it benefit EI so much that they should have to carve out exceptions for Britain?

Every criticism about the United States being bent on world domination is 100% true. Other countries better band together because this will not simply end once the entire western hemisphere is under their control. That is just the first step to re-exerting global hegemony. It’s necessary in order to make war with China, for example.

A few months ago Trumpist billionaire Paul Singer bought Citgo, the former U.S.-based arm of Venezuela’s state-run oil company. Citgo owns three Gulf Coast refineries custom-built to process Venezuelan crude, refineries that have suffered from the U.S. embargo on imports of that crude. If Trump lifts that embargo, Singer will receive a huge windfall. But this windfall will have nothing to do with reviving Venezuelan production.

Americans will be amazed at how much stuff we are exempted from in the coming years

China should dump all of its U.S. treasuries

Changing the name to Antifa Jihad City was a bit much imho

Thanks, he’s doing media rounds promoting his new movie. He sure is polished, avoids some of the obvious kookery of his predecessor Doug Vogt.

These guys don’t want any international or domestic solidarity at all. Like, even if they get everything they supposedly want, they keep going after the Christian fundamentalists that don’t subscribe to their particular brand. They’ll fractionate American society until it’s literally just an orgy of slaughter like “The Purge”.

Hell yeah appropriate the wealth of the bourgeoisie and institute universal healthcare

They subsidize a lot more than childbirth

Are you familiar with the term “anecdote”?
