  1. "Weapons of mass destruction", let's say it again. Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Mali, Guinea Bisau, Congo, South Africa and its apartheid nightmare, Ethiopia…and more all attacked and plundered by the West and its allies.

  2. IRONIC THAT WE IDENTIFY WHAT WE BELIEVE (BUT DO NOT KNOW) THAT THESE ATTACKS ARE FROM IRGC BACKED "PROXY" FORCES BUT NEVER DO WE IDENTIFY UKRAINIAN FORCES AS US PROXY FORCES ATTACKING RUSSIA. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO REAL DIFFERENCE
    WE CONDEMN IRAN FOR DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING IN UKRAINE!
    AFTER SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAMS ATTACKS AND THREATS AGAINST IRAN WHY WOULD WE EXPECT IRAN TO STAND DOWN?
    ONE MISSING FACT IS THAT OUR FORCES IN SYRIA ARE THERE CONTRARY TO THE WISHES OF THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT.
    AS FOR IRAQ, WE SEEM TO BE AN OCCUPYING FORCE THERE.
    STICK YOUR NOSE OUT TOO FAR, EXPECT AN UNFRIENDLY RESPONSE.

  3. SO ONLY ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT OF SELF DEFENSE?
    WHY DOES HAMAS NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHT. ARE YOU SAYING THAT ISRAEL IS DOING NOTHING TO THE PALESTINIANS, EVER, THAT WOULD EXTEND HAMAS THE SAME RIGHTS?
    IF MEDIA DESCRIPTIONS OF LIFE IN GAZA ARE ACCURATE WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR NEIGHBORS WERE TREATING YOU THE SAME WAY?
    THAT WOULD BE LIKE SAYING THAT RUSSIA HAD NO RIGHT TO DEFEND THE RUSSIANS LIVING IN THE INDEPENDANT DONBAS REGION WHO HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK FROM UKRAINE SINCE 2014. 16,000 ETHNIC RUSSIANS MURDERED BY UKRAINE MILITARY IN THE INTERVENING
    9 YEARS.
    NO RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE?

  4. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE,
    THIS AIR FORCE GENERAL PAT RYDER OUTSHINES THE NAVY'S ADMIRAL, KIRBY WHO THINKS THE BRIEFINGS ARE ABOUT HIM.
    AT LEAST THE QUESTIONS GOT ANSWERED. TOO BAD TOUGHER QUESTIONS WERE NEVER ASKED!

  5. If you want to have Peace and live with out any concern and friendly you have to leave the Region and stop supporting occupied Regime and go back to your country like a good boy otherwise the Region will force you to leave Region

  6. THE ONLY HOPE JOE BIDEN HAS OF BEING REELECTED IS IF HE IS A "WAR PRESIDENT".
    ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS YET. THE DEMS WANT RID OF HIM BUT JOE WON'T GO!
    THE DEMS NEVER GAVE A MUCH, MUCH BETTER PRESIDENT,
    JOHN F. KENNEDY, ANY CHOICE.
