Who killed her NYT? Who?

And nothing of value will be lost.

This world order is what cursed Palestinians with Israel, it can’t collapse soon enough.

is a non-vote for him also a vote for Harris?

The US sees China as the primary adversary, and I expect that Asia will be where US focus will increasingly shift.

This has been the case for almost two decades now, yet they are stuck in the Middle East and cannot leave. The US is religiously tied to Israel, and is at a stage where the entire decisionmaker class genuinely believe that what's good for Israel is good for the US.

Good for China, bad for the Middle East. But oh well, no one can choose their fate, we [Middle Easterners] certainly didn't choose to be cursed with Israel.

Turkiye tried joining the EU for decades. The Europeans would never accept them no matter how long it took or what Turkiye offered. Turks are too Muslim and too Asian for them; despite abolishing the caliphate, secularizing and adopting the Latin script.

Now though Turkiye can look southward and find prosperity without strings attached. None of the BRICS members share a culture or religion, a more diverse and global community where Turkiye can join as it is.

Turkiye is a regional power, it has a strong manufacturing base, and while a NATO member and dependent on the West they also have an advanced military industry and that was demonstrated during TAI TF Kaan maiden flight.

This is Biden's genocide

Life is hard when you are sinophobic.

I guess spending more than the next ten countries combined is not enough for her.

A party of warmongering ghouls

A member of the Democratic Party, Slotkin was previously a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst and Department of Defense official.

We should hand Palestine back to the Palestinians but eradicating the Zionist invaders won’t be necessary. Most will leave once they lose their privileged status.

No you clearly haven’t

I wish I had Russia’s economic hardships https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68823399

There’s nothing Putin did that needs apologizing for

The existence of Israel is a crime against humanity

Freedom and democracy in the West. Gaza has dropped a lot of masks.

No winners is a fair outcome that I can live with.

The House of Saud has been in rule since 1727. The origin of their rule goes back to 1446. They reestablished their state twice after collapse. Once in 1824 and again in 1902, which eventually became Saudi Arabia in 1932.

You don’t reestablish twice without wide tribal support.

You spelled anti-Soviet warrior and recruiter wrong

An amateur next to Netanyahu. He is still a hundred dead journalists away from a standing ovation in the US Congress. Also calling the double agent and CIA recruiter a journalist is stretching the term.

Or as liberals would call them “Russian trolls and Chinese bots.”

If that were true they would have normalized with Israel years ago but they didn’t. Instead they chose to make peace with Iran last year to the public cries of Biden and Israeli leaders.

Saudi Arabia cannot legitimize Israel, but Israel can delegitimize Saudi Arabia.

If Saudi Arabia normalizes with Israel hundreds of millions -if not each and every Muslim of the 2 billion total- will see it as a confirmation and validation of the Hadith that praises Yemen and the Levant but curses Najd.

Link to Hadith plus explanation in Arabic: https://www.islamweb.org/ar/fatwa/134719/

Rough Google Translation:

O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: There are earthquakes and tribulations, and from there the horn of Satan will rise.

I personally don't think the Politico story is true. The risk is too damn high for the House of Saud. They will lose all legitimacy domestically and internationally.

Such disdain and disregard to human life.

Israel is a plague on humanity

Not expected from the mouthpiece of US imperialism.

He is right it wasn’t. Hitler was emulating past settler colonial projects. He was inspired by how the indigenous peoples of North America were reduced to only tens of thousands and forced to live in reservations. It is just that no one cared until it happened in Europe.

I’m glad an alternative exist but it will take sometime for it to get established. I’d hazard a guess that RTL support isnt there yet

Decoupling from the West isn’t the economic death sentence it used to be. This gives me hope that one day GCC economies might do the same.

They never asked Israel to stand down, they had 10 months to do so but instead kept supplying them with the weapons to commit genocide.

Iran should call the US’s bluff. Let it be a WW3, at this rate I don’t care.

Racist colonizers will never change

The Internet really democratized engagement. You don’t even have to be informed to have an opinion.

Zionists are the biggest promoters of Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate.

Its hottest summer on record yet

IS is really a tool for the US to punish government it doesn’t like. IS became active in Iraq and Syria just as the US was supposed to leave Iraq for good.

I hope Iran calls their bluff

I was hoping the resistance against US troops would increase. I think what complicates the situation for the Iraqi resistance is the competing allegiances between the different sects and ethnic groups. They aren’t as united as the Afghans were in resisting US occupation and its puppet regime.

Afghanistan has peace after it was liberated from US occupation. Iraq can achieve peace the same way. I don’t understand why are you trying to threaten us with war, when US troops are already here. No one is following you home, we just demand that you leave.

There’s nothing for you to offer and we don’t want what you are selling. It is natural for any people to reject military occupation and foreign soldiers on their land. But I think either you don’t understand honor or dignity or you deny it to others out of racism and bigotry. Which confirms that the Afghans got it right; meanwhile the Iraqis by trying diplomacy are wasting their time.

I disagree. The Afghan approach worked, diplomacy doesn’t. For the sake of those who have suffered, it is an insult to allow US troops to remain in Iraq. It is an insult that they are in any Arab country to be honest, but most Arab governments ignore the will of the people.

Nonetheless, no need pushing us all closer to a nuclear world war, or even another “incursion” and punish the people of Iraq more.

Sounds like you are listing your fears. We don't share them with you. We didn't chose this fate, but liberation comes at a cost and freedom isn't free.

If the Afghans can liberate themselves from US occupation, so can the Iraqis as far as I see it.
