Across the Mediterranean to the south and east it is even hotter. Wearing shorts and putting on sunblock isn’t the best way to deal with the heat, you need to shield yourself and make use of the chimney effect.

Yes, the US is becoming China

Where’s the High Speed Rail?

Iran has the right to defend itself.

Oil going up in price won’t be necessarily a bad thing, oil is underpriced relative to historical highs.

go back to being irrelevant

Yeah, that was never true, just delusional and wishful thinking. The region has always been relevant that’s why the Greeks in 324 BC and the Romans in 26 BC coveted it long before oil.

The US charges its people international prices and not based on local extraction costs.

Plot twist: there are no phones, the whole thing is a scheme to rip off people for $64.70. Enough money to make the scam worth it, not enough for people to put in the time and effort to reclaim their money unless their credit card will compensate them.

Good thing Israel never kidnapped children.

Trump is after Iran’s eggs, I guess. He promised the people of the US lower egg prices, he will get them from Iran.

How can people in the US be okay with this? Their quality of life has only decreased since Bush 2 started his wars of terror. A propagandized population driven to hate others and rally behind the president.

As unlikely as it may be, I hope the US loses quickly and decisively against Iran. Not in 20 years from now like in Afghanistan, but soon. I don’t know what cards Iran has, what leverage they may have, but I hope they have something that enables them to inflict pain.

Why would a population living under a military occupation since 1967 do such a thing? And why would the world see a genocide as the most important crisis?

Putin, of course.

• racism
• white supremacy
• imperialism
• judeo-christian values
• western civilization
• only democracy in the middle east

take your pick

Israel violates international laws and has been since 1948, invades its neighbours and commits genocide, and western media still portrays it as a victim.

I worked with someone who would never drink water. It was weird to me. I always preferred water because as a kid it was free at all schools I went to, allowing me to save half of my allowance. As an adult it still cheaper and very low calorie, practically zero calories.

Since before its founding it has been engaged in ethnic cleansing, massacres and expansion. Right now it illegally occupies the West Bank, parts of Lebanon and Syria, enforces a brutal siege on the Gaza Strip and is guilty of genocide. You are talking about it as if they are victims and not a violent and racist settler colonial project based on apocalyptic and messianic ideologies.

Israel has nuclear weapons, its neighbours that it threatens have every right to nuclear weapons. You just want Israel to achieve its expansionist goals with no pushback.

Why should Israel have nuclear weapons but not Iran?

How is Putin worse than Netanyahu? Just compare the children death toll in Palestine vs. Ukraine.

False equivalencies.

A general strike?

Russia assembles the Iranian-designed drones locally

The Supreme Leader is Azeri though.
