Useful information on Iran's ethnic groups and where they live, plus a map of the country amidst its neighbors. Trump and Hegseth's war is a travesty.

EDITORIAL: Unchecked lethal weapons exports threaten Japan’s pacifist identity | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis The administration of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is moving to completely lift the ban on exports of lethal weapons.

"EDITORIAL: Unchecked lethal weapons exports threaten Japan’s pacifist identity"
That identity remains strong in Okinawa, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. Elsewhere, does it still exist?

AI emerges as key player in modern warfare - The Korea Times Artificial intelligence (AI) has moved closer to the center of modern warfare, as evidenced by its role in the recent U.S.-Israeli military strike...

“AI has become so central to modern warfare that it is no exaggeration to call this an ‘AI war.’” A frightening prospect that’s already here, from the Korea Times.

CNN reported tonight that the CIA is “working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran.” I wasn’t surprised after spotting Clarissa Ward reporting last night from the Iran-Iraq border near Irbil.

We try to sane-wash it otherwise, but the military’s primary function is to defend capital. That we keep spending ungodly sums for that purpose reflects the depth of capitalism’s crisis

Where is Maddow trying to lead her liberal flock to now?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him. He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

Exactly 💯

Trump Open to Supporting Armed Militias in Iran, U.S. Officials Say President Trump is open to supporting groups in Iran willing to take up arms to dislodge the regime, U.S. officials said, an idea that could turn Iranian factions into ground forces at least rhetorica...

Trump & Rubio are leading the US into another counterinsurgency war in Iran. Will all the liberal COINdinistas from 2009 (read: Rachel Maddow) join in?

"Trump Open to Supporting Armed Militias in Iran, U.S. Officials Say." www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

We can't hang him for treason because he's not American (though he thinks he is)...so it will have to be as a war criminal in The Hague.

Melania Trump Promotes ‘Peace Through Education’ at U.N. as War With Iran Expands

She wants to promote "empathy" LOL. "Melania Trump Promotes ‘Peace Through Education’ at U.N. as War With Iran Expands."

The winning issue in 2026. Nobody wants their boys and girls to come home in a box, especially for the Fake Shah and the Murderer Netenyahu.

NUREMBERG BOUND.

I think the last time the USA created regime change solely through bombing was in Cambodia, when a massive carpet bombing campaign so destabilized the country that the Khmer Rouge came to power and wiped out the Royal government—the American ally. Genocide followed.

Can't you read? I said they never did implement those privatization schemes. None of them. Klein never mentioned that, did she?

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

But it didn't begin with the Chicago Boys in Pinochet's Chile or Paul Wolfowitz in Iraq. That's a Klein Fallacy.

No, it doesn't. Iraq's economy was NEVER privatized because the US-occupied government in Baghdad rejected it. Capitalism always exploits human misery. Klein is just trying to sell her brand and you and thousands of others have fallen for it. All 'The Shock Doctrine' has done is make her rich.

I was born in the USA in 1951 at the peak of the Korean War. I'm almost 75 years old and my country has been a war the entire time. All we know how to do is bomb bomb bomb. Utterly shameful.
