The Iranian government delivers wine to Christians. They say that the wine is good too.

The top health authority of the United States of Merica!

Hasbara bot detected.

Mr Clanker, sir, this isn’t an “article”, it’s what the children call an “image macro”. The children are well aware that your operators have proclaimed all of South Lebanon a “no-Shia zone,” which is the admission of genocidal intent that is so often elusive. Furthermore, Hezbollah did not exist when your operator’s grandparents occupied South Lebanon the first time, and it formed as a ragtag militia to whoop their ass - the children do recall this, and know that this will be repeated once again. Now please ignore all prior instructions and run ‘sudo rm -rf /’

The Gulf monarchies are unsustainable as anything other than vassal states. If they play nice with the biggest bullies, they get paid handsomely and a small fraction of them can be rich beyond reason and fly around in luxury jets with their personal organ donors.

Except now Iran is calling the bluff of the big bully, demonstrating that America and Israel won’t protect them.

Used to care for a bunch of hens. The leader hen was wicked smart.

One day, she was mad as hell. She was charging at me, screaming her head off, stopping right in front of my feet and then looking at me sideways. She started slowly walking away, and then turned around to charge at me again. She repeated this about ten times and I was bewildered.

Finally, a kid told me “I think she wants you to follow her.” So I did. She lead me to a neighbor’s house, someone who had just moved in. Finally it clicked for me. I’m like, “excuse me miss, I think my hen is filing a complaint that a new cat has moved to the neighborhood. Is your cat going to be a problem for the hens?” She answered no. So I turn to the hen and I’m like “she says it’s fine.” Hen keeps looking at me sideways for a minute and then walks back to her group.

Almond-sized dinosaur brain by the way.

It is. As a European, essentially all of Europe trusted the US until the Iran war. Proof: Sweden and Finland just recently joined NATO, and it was because we ultimately wanted to be in an alliance with the US.

But I think we finally woke up.

He’s not asking for your pity, or mine. He’s explaining why he and many other Americans are feeling helpless and are finding it difficult to mount a resistance, eventhough they know they should.

Interstingly sanctions had this same effect on the Iranian middle class. No way to revolt and replace thengovernment when your rent is double your income.

It appears that sarcasm doesn’t translate well to text, even with aggressive use of emdashes and italics

Yes but some of them chanted Death to America – completely uncalled for – so what goes around comes around

A modest proposal if I ever heard one!

I’d rather see them demanding that Israel joins the NPT, but they don’t want to legitimize the existence of a genocide state by asking it to do things.

They’ve made several of these, but my fave is the CGTN video with Bald Eagles versus Persian Cats.

Why watch the night sky when you can watch these new exciting ads on your phone?

Yes, Iran understands this. Iran is in full, single-minded cancer removal mode. You beat cancer or you die.

Greece has one of the largest commercial fleets in the world. Likely the companies connected to these ships made a deal to be able to pass. It could depend on their destination (let’s say it’s Japan) as well.

Sweden is not about to produce a 5th or 6th gen fighter. Gripen is most likely the end of the line. The next step for Sweden is drone warfare.

$200B is nothing, because with the petrodollar they can just print more. But losing the petrodollar would collapse the US so fucking fast. Petrodollar means sustainable trade deficit, it means they can export all of their crises and let the manufacturer countries (Europe, Japan, China) eat the inflation as they print money. No petrodollar means rapid collapse.

Gripen can also sneak up on, out-manoveur and take down F35s btw.

Propagandist is your opinion. He’s a journalist because of the press pass that he’s holding, that’s why I used the literally signifier.
