Was the JCPOA with Iran the Atlantic alliance’s swan song?

Bullshit! European heads of state are powerless, the multinational corporations rule, and they have a huge stake in the US economy: “Siemens CEO: We can’t do new deals with Iran.” http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/14/investing/iran-sanctions-siemens-europe/index.html

Now, imagine if 57 demonstrators were killed in Syria. Assad’s palace would be bombed.

I saw videos of children with slings and rocks.. and I thought to myself.. I wonder what would have happened to the state of Isreal if Goliath had had a IWI DAN .338 sniper rifle as well.. what a world full of s**t and p**s we could have avoided if that little boy David had been pebbled by sniperfire as well…at least his son wouldnt have built a…[Read more]

Found on my internet rambles this morning: “The narrative the subject of torture artfully distracts the public from the very essence of why torture is employed in the first place. The target of the act is not the individual being tortured; the target is the public itself. The objective is not to uncover truth, but rather to buttress suppositions a…[Read more]

I wonder if something else is being “covered over” in this very public collapsing of tunnels etc.?
“The dismantling will involve collapsing all tunnels with explosions and blocking their entrances. All observation facilities, research buildings, and security posts will be removed, KCNA reported. ”
-
Yes this sudden apparent “transparency” on top secret facilities is a little suspicious.

Notwithstanding a deep enmity towards communism per se, the fact that the Norks are “rebranding” themselves says to me that their sorcerers have seen something coming and a hold-out position as “Stalinist Hermit Kingdom” will put them in jeopardy with others who are more powerful than groups of Terran democracies. They’ll denuclearize and get a…[Read more]

What appears to be the cover up in the collapsing of the tunnels of the underground tunnels that finally collapsed at North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear facility is that it has essentially derailed, and destabilized the region. The Chinese are furious at how the collapse has de-railed its hope to guide Kim Jong-un into a favorable position for i…[Read more]

Don’t underestimate Chinese strategy…

Dana, you are absolutely correct. A very astute observation to NOT underestimate the Chinese, OR the Russians. Sorry for the late Reply, but I’ve been busy. I understand my analysis could be wrong but consider this: the Norks and Chinese are not natural allies. The Norks have a more friendly attitude toward the Ruskies, historically speaking. So,…[Read more]

It would take some time for an oil company to agree with investors, stakeholders and government to this kind of significant step…. hence they must have been planning this a little while at least. To what extent it this a choreographed series of moves? Seems too convenient to me.

I think the French will say “Non merci” to this kind offer.
-
Total will probably get a special exemption.
Macron will kill himself to get that exemption from Trump.
Reason: the cowardly ayatollahs sold out big time to France,
they had to give unheard of incentives because nobody else
was willing to invest in Iran. The French basically own that
$2.9 trillion gas field. China does not have the tech for

Yeah, got to go with Cara, and also TT on this because getting the most oil or gas out of the ground is HIGH TECH to be certain.

Interesting book on neoliberalism and globalism… a review: “lawyers at the GATT hoped to create the beginnings of a global constitutional order to restrain the ambitions of nation states and an “electoral takeover” by developing countries.

I’d like to think the Syrian Arab Army is that confident of their strength but I think it’s got other more immediate problems with ISIS/ISIL/DAESH pockets still needing to be addressed. Plus the US is still camped out in Eastern Syria and shows no signs of leaving….

I am not so sure anymore, because except for IDLIB pocket which is policed by Turkey, all other pockets of rebels have been taken over (and are being cleaned out) except the ones in southern Syria, Daraa, etc, all east of Golan Heights. Assad could boost his legitimacy in the sunni arab world like Nasrallah by scoring a victory on the ground.…[Read more]

Clearly the latest bio weapon needs testing. Despicable that they keep doing this to people. “Happy” side effect is western panic over “heart of darkness” disease.
