"It's okay when White People do it!"

So the politicians mired in pedophilia scandals suddenly care about the Children huh?

those politicians want kids to carry around fully internet connected high def multimedia recording and production devices with access to the entire fucking world just in case something something

In politics, assume politicians are evil, not stupid.

You are flatly wrong. These countries are internationally recognized sovereign nations and members of the UN. They have independent, often conflicting interests and foreign policies. Meanwhile the US bases are held under formal leases, not through force.

If they didn't allow these US bases it's pretty likely US and Israel would be bombing those countries as well.

Pure speculation. May I suggest Arabs are not the subhuman beasts that your press and universities claim to be?

Only suggesting that american imperialism will turn them into subjects or enemies.

Your link actually says they were contributing to the defense not the attack

The negotiations didn't end without a deal, they were ongoing but not finalized. The next session of the negotiations was scheduled for Monday. And then, Israel and US simply attacked on Saturday.

It is very important to use precise language so as to not downplay the illegal aggression against Iran.

Take the language issue with the BBC, which is hardly for this war

In any case a contrarian opinion might be that Iran promised to yield on negotiations following the previous war as mentioned here:

And Iran instead opted for their years old tactic of stalling the negotiations

What's your view on the Republic's imperial aggression against Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen?

Which Republic are we talking about? The Islamic Republic or the western "republics"?

I am talking about the Islamic Republic setting up local mercenary forces in order to extract resources from the local government in Iraq and Lebanon.

That's called Imperialism and was common among european powers in the 19th century

> in order to extract resources from the local government in Iraq and Lebanon.

How evil of them to do that. They should have known only the United States of America has the divine right to invade countries and extract their resources. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4grxzxjjd8o

> That's called Imperialism and was common among european powers in the 19th century

Fortunately, the USA does not want to revive such practices, as they indicated in this speech: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/marco-rubio-munich-t...

> How evil of them to do that. They should have known only the United States of America has the divine right to invade countries and extract their resources

Yes, OP was already saying Iran is free to act because the US is an imperial power. I was merely stating that he is conveniently ignoring Iran's imperialist behavior

Can't say how taking over Iraq for economic reasons helps the Palestinians but sure

Good thing they stopped with that, eh?

The absolute hell that is looking for a place to live in the UK. I remember having to submit a copy of my passport to one of those letting agencies. I don't even know how they process it and how it is stored, but I am convinced it's just stored on some random personal OneDrive at this point.

Great! I sure hope it means Americans will stop censoring pro-Palestinian and pro-workers movements!

Always a pleasure to see Republik being featured in the press ahah, even if its too social-democratic to my taste. I know they've been struggling for some time, so hopefully the Imperial Juggernaut that is Palantir won't manage to bleed them too severly.

The Epstein class is the capitalist class. It's important to name them correctly. Otherwise I fully agree.

What's even scarier than such encounter, is that I personally know some people who would survive it. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

We are not so differential
