War in the East, war in the West.

War up North, war down South

Everywhere is war.

Blame the instigators of war everywhere: the US and Israel.

Wow - that is an odd comment. You don't think it's just some developmentally stunted co-religionists going at it?

I would love it if the US and Israel could trigger these retards into killing each other.

Iran is a democrat Republic, which all Iranians rrspect and follow, and the murdered Ayatollah (Trump is so stupid he said he should choose the next Ayatollah) was a beloved brilliant, kind and loving person. Israel is so arrogant (I've seen it in person and have seen the kindness of the Iranians in person...and the Palestinians' goodness in person, too) that it won't be satisfied until they rule the ME. Horrible people. Rob

Iran is a democrat Republic - where all final decisions are made by mad men who spend hundreds of millions with the sole goal of global Armageddon.

Palestinian goodness??? Give you self a shake. They are trying to steal land owned by the jews for 4000 years. Their dogma - Islam is only 700 years old.

Thank you for this report. I had not yet read anything about this conflict. This is yet another war with roots in British actions. The British have been a force for evil starting well before the US and continuing to the present as demonstrated by their reliable support for mass murder. A pox on their government! I hope the Greens take over (though I'll still be very skeptical about the direction of the country given its horrific history.)

Jeffrey Sachs says the British Empire was the worst empire ever to exist. I agree, but the US/Israel is trying to out-do it.

I fully believe that the U.S. Empire is the most evil empire in human history, hands down. The proof is in the fact that it was the first to develop and use nuclear weapons, the most diabolical weapon ever made, more than twice. It has and continues to hold the nuclear gun to other nations head forcing them to capitulate to their demands. It has a first strike policy, and plans to do so. It is willing to destroy the entire planet in its quest for global hegemony. The ruling elite’s mindset is, if we can’t have it all, then nobody will.

Several nations were working on nuclear weapons - Thankfully, the US just got there first.

Read up on the story about the courier who brought the news to the Japanese leadership about the second bomb. They could have cared less, as long as they could save their emperor from execution.

Watch the "The Man in The High Tower" if you want to see an alternative ,which could have happened, had the US not gotten theie first ahead of Germany and Japan.

It is also people like you that contribute to making this the evil empire that it is.

Don Dagenais's avatar

You are so incredibly ill informed.

Mike Wisniewski's avatar

You certainly are entitled to your opinion, but you are utterly wrong. The ill informed are people who have allowed themselves to become propagandized to support this diabolical empire—the largest terrorist state on the planet.

noam chomsky called the US republican party the biggest terror organization on earth.

Pinball war/tilt Indonesia says Gaza “Board of Peace” talks paused due to Iran war. Hegseth & Caine downplay drones. Gaza under total siege when Israel cozies alongside Trump's air campaign la bomba in Iran. Slotkin displays her CIA chops, "I mean, we're in it,..." code name The Front Nine. Tee from satrap to sand trap,"Shield of the Americas" Doral Miami a relaxing Back Nine countering Chinese aba daba abacus. Let us now raise the banner of repression in Pakistan v Taliban, crank up the military industrial spitoon.

Violence is the most contagiuos disease- another form of true trump derangement

"In recent weeks, Taliban officials signaled that they would support Iran if the country was attacked by the United States or Israel." Could maybe the CIA have a hand in distracting the Taliban pushing

the Pakistani attacks.

The conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan is nothing new; it has existed for more than half a century. What is happening today is in many ways the consequence of long-standing policies. The very groups that Pakistan once trained and supported to destabilize Afghan governments have now turned around and bitten the hand that fed them. This is not a defense of Pakistan—in many ways it is the predictable result of those policies. For decades, Pakistan has been linked to the training and support of militant networks not only connected to Afghanistan, but involving fighters from places as far as Morocco, Serbia, and Tajikistan. Numerous books and investigations—from works like Inside the Jihad by Omar Nasiri to the reporting of journalists such as Jeremy Scahill—document how these networks operated. The reality is that Pakistan cannot truly win this war. If it loses, it will be a major humiliation for a nuclear power and a key regional state. But even if it wins militarily, the destruction and instability could once again create the same vacuum that allowed militant factions to flourish in the past, much like the collapse of Afghanistan after the fall of Dr. Najibullah. That environment eventually produced global consequences—from attacks like 9/11 to bombings in London and Spain. A quarter century later, the world is still dealing with those consequences. Pakistan, as a nuclear state and regional power, must recognize that it carries global responsibilities, and those responsibilities cannot be solved through bombing and military force alone.

Don't kid yourself. The CIA was behind the towers coming down, and the FBI, too.

Mike Wisniewski's avatar

ABSOLUTELY!!! Zionist Israel was also a probable co-conspirator.

Ayub Midea's avatar

It’s easy to say “it was an inside job,” but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. None of the official investigations found support for that claim.

I have no way of knowing for sure, but the question that arises in my mind is, "Cui bono?".

Who benefits from this conflict commencing just hours before the US/Israel launched their biggest aggression ever?

George Leone's avatar

The cycle is painfully familiar: instability created during decades of war is now used to justify more cross-border bombing in the name of “security.” Washington may have withdrawn troops from Afghanistan, but its regional strategy still rewards militarization and treats Pakistan as a useful security partner. Meanwhile, civilians along the Durand Line are the ones who keep paying the price.

Warms my heart to hear about the Shitys and Sunnis kicking the crap out of each other. Like the Hatfields and McCoys killing each other.

Let's hope the both beat each other to extinction!
