“The Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events because the Iranians would retaliate.”

-Joe Kent who resigned from his position as Trump’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, over the war on Iran

On this day in 2003, the US🇺🇸 and UK🇬🇧 illegally invaded Iraq after lying to the world about Iraq possessing WMDs and having ties to Al Qaeda. While many know the statistic of 1 million deaths as a result of the war, here are some stats you may not know:

-The US occupation privatised 200 Iraqi state-owned companies and allowed foreign firms to have 100 ownership of Iraqi assets

-After an initial half a million Iraqi citizens abruptly lost their jobs, over 50% of the workforce became unemployed

-Not only did the US military-industrial complex make huge profits from the war, US corporations profited from reconstruction: during the first year of occupation, approx. $50 billion of reconstruction contracts were commissioned to various US corporations, including Halliburton, which Vice President Dick Cheney was the CEO of before he stepped down to assume office. Only 2% of contracts were given to Iraqi firms

-By 2007 85% of Iraqi households lacked a stable source of electricity and nearly 70% of households struggled with getting rid of garbage

-By 2007, a third of Iraqis lived in poverty

Remember this as the Trump Administration prepares to deploy boots on the ground in Iran to ‘liberate’ the Iranian people.

BREAKING: Israel targeted an RT journalist reporting on the ground with an airstrike

Will Washington’s Press Freedom™️ industry offer any words of condemnation?

Given their silence as Israel massacred journalists in Gaza, probably not.

US🇺🇸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:

"We unsanctioned Russian oil…in the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water.”

This war for Israel is going so according to plan, that the Americans have to unsanction the oil of the country they are bombing.

🚨WAR ON IRAN: BRICS IS MISSING IN ACTION, risks looking IMPOTENT

‘BRICS has been just completely missing in action. Venezuela had its head of state kidnapped, its first lady kidnapped by the United States. You now have a BRICS member state’s Head of State assassinated. And you have Iran, a BRICS member state, firing on the UAE, another BRICS member state.

So from pretty much day one, there should have been some sort of collective BRICS action to bring this together. Now with India in terms of foreign policy, when it comes to major diplomatic initiatives to end conflicts, we’ve not really seen India all that involved.

Even with the Ukraine proxy war that’s going on now. China presented a detailed peace plan. India, after four years, has not.

This could be a chance for India to dramatically take itself to the next level when it comes to foreign policy, to geopolitics. If it actually chooses to get involved as a mediating actor, it could push India to another level in terms of a serious diplomatic actor that has the capability of de-escalating different crises around the world.

I mean, I’m sure they’re going to be popping up over the next couple of decades as well. It’s not been a great war for BRICS, but perhaps India could become a player for the first time in a major geopolitical situation. It should, and it definitely should convene.

As I said, the BRICS action on this has been pretty much nothing, and it’s a bit late now, but it definitely should convene some form of negotiations under the BRICS umbrella.

If BRICS can’t protect these economies, these grand plans of multipolarity, if they can’t even mediate between their own members, if a head of state of a BRICS member is assassinated, if they can’t do anything on that, then how does BRICS look to the rest of the world in these changing times?

It doesn’t want to look as impotent. So it is on India, as it’s chairing BRICS this year, India to start some diplomatic initiatives.’

Qatar’s🇶🇦 Prime Minister on Iran:

‘There should be a rebuilding of trust a trust that has unfortunately been destroyed by this aggression.

In the end, we share the same geography. We also share a history with the Iranian people, and we do not want such hard feelings between Iranians and Qataris, or among the peoples of the region.

We want our people to live in peace.’

'Primary party responsible for this war is ISRAEL…it has dragged the region into an unprecedented crisis.’

-Türkiye’s🇹🇷 Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan

Israel’s goal is regional hegemony with the destruction of Iran, and the economic destabilisation of the GCC; the region’s economic powerhouse.

For the US, the destruction of Iran means their unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East remains unchallenged, and US corporations can continue extracting resources via disaster capitalism.

ICYMI, Tucker Carlson: “Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?”

Joe Kent: “No. They weren't three weeks ago when this started, and they weren't in June either.”

An official from Trump’s Administration who just resigned admitted the current destructive war is based on WMD lies…

23 years on from the last destructive war based on WMD lies in Iraq.

Donald Trump removed the anti-neocon mask to reveal he is a reincarnation of George W. Bush for the final Middle Eastern country to be ticked off the list of countries to be destroyed; Iran.

India🇮🇳 MUST gain sovereignty over its energy policy

‘The Americans frame this as ‘ALLOWING’ India to buy Russian crude following the US-Israeli war on Iran.

What India really has to look out for is to not have its energy policy pressured and manipulated in the way that it has been by the United States over the last several months.’

23 years ago today, the US began ‘shock and awe’ bombing of Iraq

23 years later, and the US & Israel are bombing Iran

The Presidents may change along with the performative partisan debates, but the US’ bombs keep falling and the military-industrial complex profits keep soaring.

UAE’s🇦🇪 Habib Al Mulla on Western media coverage of Dubai as the Iran war continues:

‘Dubai has been posing a serious competition to some of the Western capitals.

It’s not a secret. People have been moving from the UK in particular, due to various reasons, to settle in Dubai, because of safety, because of less taxes, and so on.

Before this crisis, or this conflict, we were in fact registering at least two to three companies for people moving from Western Europe, particularly the UK, to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the likes.

Obviously for them it was posing a serious threat to their position.Are they happy with what’s happening? If you read the headlines, unfortunately, you will feel so.’

‘Dubai has proven everyone wrong every time, and I don’t think this is going to be different.

Yes, we have to admit it’s difficult times, but so was Covid, so was the financial crisis. Who thought that Dubai would survive the financial crisis in 2008? Everyone thought it’s the end and it has proven them to be wrong.

And I have no doubt that it will do the same this time as well.’

UAE’s🇦🇪 Habib Al Mulla: ‘I don’t believe the news that is spreading, that UAE is going to be part of the attacks on Iran and the Iranian people, that is not going to happen.

At the end of the day, we are bound by geography. Iran is a neighbouring country.

We have been living together for years and years, and for years and years to come we always wanted to have a peaceful, normal relationship with Iran, irrespective of the regime that is there.’

Prof. John Mearsheimer: Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳 are the WINNERS of the US-Israeli War on Iran

‘I think that there are probably at this point in time two winners. The clearest winner is Russia.

You want to remember that what President Trump has had to do because of the oil and gas problem is take sanctions off of Russian oil and gas. This is a huge boon for Russia.

Furthermore, because we’re now bogged down in this war against Iran, that means we have limited munitions and limited weapons that we can send to Ukraine to help deal with the upcoming Russian offensive once the spring and summer comes.

So if you look at what’s happening, in terms of Russia’s position in the international system, they’re clearly benefiting.

And one could argue that the Russians have a vested interest in making sure that the war in Iran goes on and on and that the United States remains bogged down in that conflict.

China has also been a big winner.

First of all, China’s influence in the Middle East will grow with the passage of time as the United States will be seen increasingly as an unreliable ally.

And furthermore, China’s influence around the world will increase because, again, the United States looks like it can’t run a rational, legal foreign policy, that it’s really out of control, that it’s run by the gang that can’t shoot straight.

So if you’re another country in the world and you’re thinking about leaning toward China or leaning toward the United States, in almost all cases, you’re going to lean toward China.

And you already see evidence of this happening in Europe, unsurprisingly.’

-Prof. John Mearsheimer, one of the world’s most respected realist International Relations scholars, on the first ever episode of New Order
