Let’s have this correct in the hope that you stop behaving like the childish bully that America is. You lost. You gambled and you lost. You lost in Iran, you lost in Ukraine and you will lose in China. You bribed your way into Venezuela with the puppet government there and thought this would be a walk in the park. You lost when you handed your country over to Israel. You lost when you killed 170 children on day one of a war you started. You lost in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and you are losing here, once again. The so called “greatest military in the world” keeps losing to third world countries. It’s embarrassing. Now you want to slip away and attack another little country called Cuba in the hope of saving face. Let’s remember the stated aims of your overseas excursions; Korea must be free from communism and the threat it poses. You failed miserably. America lost 36,000 men and North Korea now has nuclear weapons. Not only that, look at the numbers of other troops who died from countries you persuaded to go to war with you in Korea. United Kingdom: 1,109 killed, 2,674 wounded, and 1,060 missing or captured Turkey: 879 killed and 2,111 wounded. Canada: 516 killed and 1,042 wounded. Australia: 340 killed and 1,216 wounded. France: 312 killed and 1,350 wounded. Greece: 194 killed and 459 wounded. Colombia: 165 killed and 448 wounded. Ethiopia: 121 killed and 536 wounded. Thailand: 134 killed and 1,139 wounded. Netherlands: 119 killed and 381 wounded. This, of course, was paraded as a win for America. It was such a big win that no one wanted to join in Vietnam, apart from Australia, New Zealand and Thailand, who were stupid enough to trust you. They died, along with 58,000 Americans, for what reason ? Ahh, yes. Freeing the world from communism. So that was an epic fail. In Iraq, it was to rid the world of WMDs that never existed in the first place. So you publicly executed the puppet you installed and backed in a war against Iran, that failed. When that failed, you accused him of having nuclear weapons capabilities. That sounds awfully familiar. Then you invaded, and to this day the country is in such a state of unrest that you cannot even enter your base in Erbil without being blown up by Iraqis who cheered every time an Iranian missile slammed past your overpriced and over hyped defence systems to blow soldiers and CIA members apart. It’s your fault they are dead. So to the most embarrassing one up until Iran. Afghanistan, and the image of planes taking off, leaving behind people who had helped you and abandoning them to die as you fled like you did in Korea and Vietnam. Instead of helicopters taking off from the rooftops of the US embassy in Vietnam, where American soldiers were shooting your helpers trying to get on board, this was even more graphic as hundreds ran alongside planes begging to be saved. You also lost around 2,000 men plus getting the idiotic coalition to die there as well, and now Afghanistan is no better off than when you arrived. At least when the Russians gave up, it was an orderly retreat. You see, every war you begin and lose leaves an indelible image on the American psyche, and an even greater need to block it out subliminally. They do this by boosting up American military might and calling anyone horrible names who begin pointing out the fact that while the weapons may have been good and plentiful, it could not beat the will of people resisting you. Soldiers crying from shell shock in Korea, people scrambling on a chopper in Vietnam or American military abandoning their helpers while fleeing Afghanistan are images welded into the American psyche. And it rejects these pictures with a venom that humiliation brings to those who did not take part and those who did. All they have left after being rejected by their own country is the lie of “we won” even though the economic and personal costs show conclusively that you lost, every time. Therein lies the rub, the stated aim for beginning the war, lost in all the fog was to “free the Iranian people”; America speak for overthrowing the government of Iran and putting a puppet in. These days, the CIA through NGO’s overthrow governments from inside, claiming a popular uprising that is nothing of the sort. It requires economic hardships in the form of sanctions so that people believe that the groups that suddenly spring up are organic, when, of course, it is highly orchestrated. It worked in Ukraine. It failed in Iran. The Russians learnt from Ukraine and passed that knowledge to Iran. It, of course, requires a completely submissive and supplicant media to push their message that that lesson has been learned and the takeover of what was once a questioning media is complete. Now it is no more than a government tool, full of cowards and money junkies. And so it went, Iranians not living in Iran get online and the world joined in. Neatly forgetting, one might add, that the brutal and oppressive regime is actually us. A fact that is vehemently denied against all reason, evidence and logic. Have Americans overthrown other countries or have they overthrown America? The only country to successfully overthrow America is Israel and not one American lifted a finger to stop them. And the brutal unpalatable truth is that politicians in the west are just as corrupt as the ones in Ukraine. The Americans gave control of their country to Israel for the usual thirty pieces of silver, as have the United Kingdom and many others. Anyone announcing this fact is called an anti-semite; a term that most people do not know the meaning of, but hey, it’s a great term for covering up theft, brutality and war crimes. Even genocide can be hidden under it’s cloak. Strange then that America should claim that they are free while others are not. But I digress, where were we, I remember now, the ridiculous reasons for overthrowing Iran. So smuggling weapons and Starlink terminals into Iran so NGO groups and peaceful protestors with flame throwers, rocket launchers and automatic weapons can hit the streets and butcher the agreed 32,000 civilians and blame it on the government of Iran, was the grand plan. Then good old America would step in to save the day. Short the Iran currency – the Rial – so people come out and protest, then latch onto it and begin the mayhem. It was working a treat. The peaceful protestors killed around 700 on the first day before Russia showed Iran how to jam Starlink and disrupt the co-ordinated attacks on civilians under the guise of freedom and democracy. Slowly, the whole thing fell apart and then collapsed as NGO funded groups began to be eliminated. By the time the dust settled 3,117 people were dead, 629 of them were rioters and killers and the full list of names were published. The west ignored it and carried on with the propaganda that tens of thousands had died. In almost every home of the 629 rioters killed, was a Starlink terminal. So the overthrow of the government must be done with outside forces. Amid calls for Iran to rise up came the first nonsense of the revamped WMD story namely Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. It never had one, it never wanted one and now like North Korea, eventually it will have one. The nonsense that follows as usual is that they will terrorise everyone in the “free” world and what utter nonsense that is. Remember North Korea? As soon as they acquired a nuclear weapon they went out and bombed everyone? Me neither. Only two nuclear bombs have ever been used on other countries, and I wonder who used them? You see, there is always an excuse masquerading as a reason. The Ayatollah of Iran issued religious edicts against Iran having a nuclear weapon and they killed him. And to use an American term here, that dog don’t hunt as much as they keep telling you it does. So the American idea to overthrow the government was to deliberately kill 170 children on the first day of the war. You are a screw loose if you think that was going to work. Instead it fully united the Iranian people behind whichever new leader that was being selected as Usrael (USA & Israel) implemented a new but old policy of killing anyone and everyone they did not like, and still threaten to do so. It is odd that everything they accuse everyone else of doing, they have, are and will do themselves, over and over. So here we are, and what have the mighty America achieved? They messed up the Straits of Hormuz badly and now their ships sit hundreds of miles away from it, trying to blockade the blockade that Iran enforced. But how did they do that? Iran have no navy. It was sunk at mooring. They have no planes, they were bombed on the runway. They have no means to make a nuclear weapon and they have no missiles. But the Straits are closed still, fast boats are part of the navy, drones fill the sky and yes, they are an air force. The enriched uranium was subject to a laughable attempt to capture it resulting in the loss of the most aircraft that America have lost in a single day since WW2. The missiles are still flying so well that America have abandoned 14 air bases in other countries within a thousand miles of Iran. More American personnel are dead as they can hide the true numbers through private military companies. So it is clear America achieved nothing, zero, zilch. Eventually, like everywhere else they have fought a major overseas conflict since 1956, they will cause untold misery and damage before sailing away and leaving their partners in the lurch, namely the gulf states. So the pattern repeats. As for Trump, his legacy will be that of a warmonger, not a peacemaker. Rather like starting the war using Ukraine as a proxy as America did. Trying to play the role as peacemaker is laughable and anyone not blinded by a false sense of patriotism to the elites who cause these problems, surely sees that. There are only three reasons people clamour for war, power, control and resources, the rest is all piss and wind with an army of mewling sycophants trumpeting just how great it is to go to other countries and cause abject misery and devastation. There are three problems Trump now faces. Time is running out as November is approaching and if the Republicans do not lose control of both houses then Americans are so dumb they should join the military on behalf of the elites. He has a war with China to fund in late 2027 using the Japanese, the Philippines and Australia and needs this finished, then he can quickly batter Cuba with his loyal demonic sidekick Rubio for whom Cuba is his own personal wet dream. Iran are not playing ball, Israel is out of control, and no one it seems in the western hemisphere can rein them in without being thrown out of office or assassinated. But to carry on risks another iconic photograph. WARREN THORNTON
