Owen Jones is to far to the left of Contra

We’ll see. I think this needs to be finalized and US-Israel could still betray Iran. A ceasefire is a chance to reload.

Key paragraph:

The respected Prime Minister of Pakistan has now informed Iran that the American side, despite all its outward threats, has accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations and has submitted to the will of the Iranian nation. On this basis, it has been decided at the highest level that Iran will conduct negotiations in Islamabad with the American side for two weeks, solely on the basis of these principles. It is emphasized that this does not mean the end of the war — Iran will only accept an end to the war when, given the acceptance of the principles of Iran’s 10-point plan, the details are also finalized in negotiations.

Probably more nukes. Once the band aide is off, why stop at one?

Only the nuclear umbrella of a country with missiles able to hit major US cities might stop them, so maybe Russia, China or DPRK (if Pakistan was willing, its missiles won’t launch that far. I guess there’s a really really outside chance that France extends its nuclear umbrella).

We had one

Haven’t most Americans been against this war since the beginning?

I’m sure more are turning against it cuz of the gas prices, but this war hasn’t had much support

don’t worry, its getting lower

For them, there’s a hierarchy of human life. They think the people there don’t have lives worth living

Trot to neo-con to third worldist pipeline

In a real sense, we still haven’t escaped the cul-de-sac produced by the end of the Cold War. US hegemony & liberalism are in decline, but almost everywhere is using the capitalist mode of production (some states discipline that production much more that others, e.g. China), but we are still in capitalism. And as the world fails to seriously address climate change year after year, we move closer and closer to global system collapse (barbarism, the “common ruin of the contending classes”).

I think we can get out of this. The highest likelihood of escaping this is China led by the CPC, but we aren’t out of the woods and if we don’t get out then in some sense Fukuyama will have been right, but rather than contending with the issues of Nietzsche’s “last man” at the end of history (as Fukuyama wrote about) or achieving the Marxist escape to a higher phase of history, it will be a deep regression of human civilization

If he’s afraid of driving into town, he’s too much of scaredy cat to own a gun

I was president of the world government, until my brother deleted my civ4 save file

Unironically, Stalin’s restraint and caution in international politics was probably his worst trait. I can understand the rationale but hindsight is 20/20

Go and recruit people. Many of these people have other outlet than these protests and some are ripe for radicalization

Bring them into whatever campaign you’re working on or into whatever org you’re in.

Hell, print flyers for you commie book club and hand them out. Take advantage of this opportunity where you–just one person–can reach hundreds of people

The pilot had take a leak and opened the cockpit to wiz, making the F35 easily detectable by the trail of urine

It was probably the dryer. Pilot should’ve emptied the lent trap

Will that even help them at this point or just fuck things up more? I’m not sure you can put the genie back in the bottle

Gotta clean your lint traps folks

Moreover, we all know that if Iran loses this war, they will take much more than this “small piece of land”

I think the future of human civilization depends on Iran defeating America and Israel here, or at least inflicting so much damage they think twice before fucking with anyone else

It’ll be a before/after pic
