With the Fifth Fleet base gone and US troops killed or evacuated, the scene is set for more uprisings.
The USA's 'short sharp regime-change operation' looks like it might just end up reshaping West Asia (and the world) in an entirely different way.
In Bahrain, the imperialist comprador regime is extremely unpopular. An uprising in 2011 was put down with help from Saudi Arabia. Then as today, the 'king' fled the anger of the people and took shelter in SA.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
"As a thought experiment, imagine if this regime had nuclear weapons - if it had long-range missiles that could reach an American city. Think about what a terror that would be," the White House resident psychopath, Stephen Miller, is now resorting to "thought experiments" to justify the war on Iran
Capital investment goes into 4 areas A. Premises & machinery B. Transport & materials C1. Wages C2. Surplus value Then it goes into the final commodity stage. Which is split between 2 categories - Workers: C1 Wages. *can't buy it all. Limited consumption. - Capitalist profits: C2 Surplus value. Reinvestment. Debt & rent. Luxury spending. Offshore accounts. Which leads us to the overproduction crisis: - Goods unsold, just sit around or get tossed aside. - Money hoarded, diverted to tax havens. Surplus value not recycled back into economy.
Why capitalism cannot avoid continuous crises of overproduction.
The concentration of capital, and its failure to recycle all the surplus value back into the economy.
Naser Abu Sharif: The brotherhood between Iranians and Palestinians has been strengthened by the teachings of Imam Khomeini, who advocated for unity and solidarity between the two nations.
This going the way you hoped?
V.I. Lenin Liberalism, the highest stage of cringe.

The moment an Iranian missile made impact in occupied Palestine.
Multiple secondary explosions can be seen. Something expensive just left the chat

Iran has published new footage showing moments when the US-owned oil tanker in the Persian Gulf was struck with a guided drone-boat.
An Israeli pilot photographs an Iranian ballistic missile streaking over occupied Palestine.
For THAAD to work in real world scenarios, you ideally have both your UHF (long range) strategic level radar feeding into a sensor fusion system so that the THAAD's own x-band radars can be cued to the right areas.
Long distance radars need their own separate protection from short-range missiles.
#OtD 12 Mar 1912 the Bread and Roses strike won all their demands. The strike was organized by mostly women workers and the Industrial Workers of the World and included 20,000 workers. More on the strike: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e...
#OtD 12 Mar 1951 300,000 workers staged a general strike in Barcelona to protest grievances with the Franco dictatorship. Troops were deployed and thousands arrested but the strike encouraged workers' struggles across the region stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8417...
Amazing quality of video of the Iranian missile that hit its target with no Zionist AD interference whatsoever in occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv).
🚀 💥
An Iranian missile evaded six American Patriot missiles in Fujairah, UAE, and successfully struck its target!
Expensive Western AD is absolutely useless against the advanced weaponry Iran possesses.
🔥
Footage reportedly showing the fuel tanks, used by the US 5th fleet, at Bahrain’s airbase in flames, after being struck by Iranian projectiles.

Explosions and plumes of smoke reported at the U.S. Al-Harir base in Erbil, northern Iraq!
💥 💥

Resistance to iof usa terror was a death threat, and yet Palestinians showed the world....
And 🇺🇸 israel-usa 🇮🇱 martyred them ALL
Experts have estimated it would cost $20-$30 billion a year to end homelessness in the US.
The US has just spent over $11 billion in the first 6 days on its unprovoked war of aggression on Iran.
Defending yourselves against imperialist aggression is the real crime
And as always, it is ordinary people, not the ruling class and their families, who end up living under the rubble.
As Lenin wrote in Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism:
“The war is being waged for the division of the world and of colonies, for the division of capital and spheres of influence.”
But when similar destruction appears in Israeli cities, those same governments suddenly rediscover their concern for civilian suffering.
