All things Middle East related

If you want to see how Iran supplied rockets to anti-government forces, read my book:

“CRISIS IN BAGHDAD: Leadership in a Risk Adverse Environment”

Available in Amazon. If you don’t like it, PM me and I’ll send you a refund in cash. Iran has been sticking its fingers into Iraq’s military and political affairs since 2003.

Hope anyone who gives this book a chance, really enjoys it!!

Hezbollah looted Lebanon and it will cost $93b. to bail it out - analysis

And they just blew themselves up at a major port today. One day these poor people will get it.

Not middle east .... but Ethiopia and its northern autonomous area of Tigray is on the verge of civil war. Apparently the capital city of Tigray and about 500k people are surrounded by Ethiopian military. The young nobel peace prize winning Prime Minister has given them 72 hours to leave. The Tigray leader said his people would rather die. in 2018, Tigray refused to join the political coming together when the new prime minister was elected and tried to bring peace.

2 weeks ago an airport was attacked, suspected by Tigray Liberation Army.

1 week ago, Ethiopia cut power to a city of 30k. They waited a week so everyones phones would be dead (no recording) then started bombing civilians for a few days then sent in ground troops who killed people with guns and knifes.

This is escalating quickly. I imagine any invasion and killing of civilians in this capital city will make the internet no matter what Ethiopia does.

Ive read several articles, this one gives the best overview of Ethiopia from 2018 (so much hope for their new young prime minister) to these kind of sudden events.

Really hope they dont bomb the city.

27K Ethiopians crossed into Sudan in the last two weeks. This will become the next big global refugee crisis. This could be a big global problem.

Humans are such piece of shits too each other. Pretty depressing.

After seeing a piece on the Afghanistan Pipeline in relation to Keystone, I wanted to know more information. Read this link, and think of all the lives lost in Afghanistan - I think this war primarily led me to my distrust of Bush/Cheney republicans - https://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/magazine/entry/afghanistan_its_about_oil/

PS - this has nothing to do with Trump/Biden or current political atmosphere, it is an article that looks at Afghan policy from 1998 through the Bush years.

On Easter Sunday, a massive explosion ripped through the top-secret Iranian nuclear weapons research facility at Natanz. There were some interesting aspects to the explosion. In a way, this was deja vu because, in July 2020, the same facility was hit by a cyberattack that damaged the centrifuge production plant inside the Natanz facility.

Of all the days available to carry out this attack, Israel chose one that coincided with a visit by the Diversity and Inclusion Commissar for the Department of Defense. And he found out about the attack at the same time as the rest of the world. The irony that one of his visit’s purposes was to ensure there was a “no surprises” policy in place concerning Iran was not lost on anyone.

How did we get to the point where our major ally in a critical and dangerous region feels it is necessary to humiliate the US Secretary of Defense (I mean other than by reading his own Critical Race Theory bullsh** to him)? We got there because of Joe Biden and his record of duplicity, both individually and collectively, in dealing with Israel when he was vice president. Matthew Brodsky, who is at some think tank I’ve never heard of, produced an epic thread on the background.

Netanyahu attacks Iran, doesnt give the US notice and does it on a day that neo cons can interpret as a deliberate snub to Biden.

I understand Israel has to do what it has to do but Netanyahu playing off our divisive politics shows how corrupt he is.

Israel should be careful .. i dont think most Americans want to be dragged into a war Israel started without letting his big brother know what he was up to. Wish that Benny dude could form a coalition so Netanyahu can exit.

Iran's foreign minister says John Kerry told him about Israeli covert operations in Syria

Kerry shocked Zarif by revealing that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria more than 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by The New York Times and other outlets.

Zarif also spoke frankly about his limited power compared to Ayatollah Ali Khameini and the blow the U.S. dealt to Iran by killing Gen. Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.


I’m sure if a past administration did this...it would be pretty loud in here. Sharing sensitive information with a state sponsor of terrorism

He should fucking resign.

So you trust Iranian officials now? Arent you against media bias and platforms running salacious click bait headlines like "Tehran John" without investigating the story first?

The way Fox News is pimping this ... I thought they had Kerry on tape. But no .. just an iranian official saying it happened.

But hey, Im sure Fox News will run this story with 20 different headlines for a week or so and MAGAs will walk around swearing Kerry is on tape admitting to this ..

There will be a new story for what each fox news personality thinks of this, an ex CIA guy's thoughts, a low level R like Gaetz demanding an investigation, etc .. soon enough weve made sure this Kerry thing stays front page for a week.

This is a NYT story...u probably should mention that

Lol....as expected. Imagine taken up and siding for a regime that kills their own folks in the streets. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/05/iran-details-released-of-304-deaths-during-protests-six-months-after-security-forces-killing-spree/

Poor Iran

I wonder why Israel isn’t letting the USA know things? Guess you got your answer
