Vlad Gives Intel

The story broke that Russia may be giving intel on US assets to Iran for retaliatory strikes….

Russia has allegedly provided Iran with information that could help it strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region, two officials familiar with US intelligence said.

The officials, who were not authorised to comment publicly on the sensitive matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, cautioned that US intelligence has not uncovered that Russia is directing Iran on what to do with the information as the US and Israel and Iran fires retaliatory salvos at American assets and allies in the Persian Gulf.

Still, it’s the first indication that Moscow has sought to get involved in the war that the US and Israel launched on Iran a week ago.

I have also read the concerns of some about this possibility.

Yes it is a dastardly move to help destruction to rain down on US assets….but think about it…..is not the US giving intel to Ukraine to be used in retaliatory strikes against Russia?

This is why I was not surprised by the news at all….for is that not what allies do in time of need?

But since Iran and Russia are trading partners this Donny war may be a windfall for Russia.

“For our budget, the attack on Iran is a big plus,” a Russian TV host proclaimed Monday. The Guardian digs into the potential truth of that statement. Russia’s oil and gas revenues are a linchpin of its war financing, and they hit a five-year low last year as sanctions squeezed the flow of exports and prices retreated. But disrupted Gulf supplies could push big buyers like India and China toward more Russian barrels, strengthening Moscow’s leverage after months of having to sell at deep discounts. “When a good fifth of global oil supply and roughly a quarter of seaborne trade is effectively locked up, that’s a boon for Russia,” energy expert Sergey Vakulenko tells the paper.

Some oil that had been languishing on tankers “will definitely find buyers” now, Vakulenko says, and likely at better prices. Al Jazeera reports the price of Russia’s Urals crude, battered by Western sanctions, hit a $40-per-barrel low in late February. On Monday, as the price of the international benchmark Brent crude jumped 13% to $82 per barrel, Urals was lifted to $57.

From a financial point of view this war makes good sense for Russia and the longer they can prolong the conflict the more profit can be made.

And is that not what war is all about….profits?

I Say Who Will Be Leader

Now that we have a war going on with Iran and the US is looking for regime change but not really looking…..Donny thinks he should decide who the leader of the country should be.

President Trump says he doesn’t just want a say in Iran’s future leadership, he insists he has to help pick the next supreme leader. In an interview with Axios on Thursday, Trump said he considers Mojtaba Khamenei, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son and widely seen favorite to succeed him, “unacceptable” and “a lightweight.” He argued that if Iran chooses a leader who sticks to the current line, the US could be drawn back into war within five years. “We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,” Trump said, adding that he must be “involved in the appointment, like with Delcy in Venezuela.” Delcy Rodriguez took power after US forces ousted President Nicolas Maduro in January.

Trump made similar remarks in an interview with Politico, declaring he would have “a big impact” on who leads the country. “We’ll work with the people and the regime to make sure that somebody gets there that can nicely build Iran but without nuclear weapons,” he said. The comments mark a striking assertion of US influence over Iran’s internal succession process and appear to cut against repeated statements by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials that Washington is not seeking “regime change,” Axios notes

In the Politico interview, Trump dismissed concerns about the effect rising gas prices could have on the midterm elections. “People are loving what’s happening,” he said. “We’re taking out a threat to the United States of America, major threat … and doing it like nobody’s ever seen before.” He said the war had already “decimated” Iran’s military.

Seriously?  I would think that if we are so concerned about democracy in Iran should not the Iranian people choose their next leader or will they accept the shah’s son which I am sure is Donny’s choice.

Keep in mind the US has never accepted a democratically elected leader in Iran…..think 1950s…..so it makes sense that Donny should pick and choose the leadership.

I know that this war has never been about bringing democracy to Iran….it is about installing a puppet that is dependent and pliable…..and the shah’s son will be both as well as an ass to the people that threw his father out of the limelight.

Any thoughts on this?

Out Of The Rubble A New Leader

It is confirmed that the Iranian leader has been killed and now the speculation on who will lead Iran in this time of war.

Now we have an answer to that probing question….

Iran’s powerful clerical body is moving toward a dynastic handoff at the very top. Three Iranian officials who spoke to the New York Times say Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has emerged as the leading candidate to inherit his father’s post after meetings of the Assembly of Experts on Tuesday. An announcement could come as soon as Wednesday, though some clerics reportedly worry that naming him now would make him an even bigger target for the US and Israel. CNN reported over the weekend that “father-to-son succession is frowned upon in the Shiite Muslim clerical establishment and particularly in a revolutionary Iran that came about after toppling a widely reviled monarchy.”

But Mojtaba, long influential but rarely seen, is closely aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and the officials say the Guard is strongly backing him as the safest pair of hands in a crisis. Analysts say his selection would signal dominance by Iran’s most hard-line security forces, though a Tehran-based commentator predicts a backlash from parts of the public already angered by the regime’s lethal crackdown on protesters. Two other finalists, cleric Alireza Arafi and revolution founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s grandson Seyed Hassan Khomeini, are viewed as relative moderates. One political ally has argued Mojtaba could surprise as a reform-minded figure, likening his potential role to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s—while others, including President Trump, warn Iran could simply end up with a leader as tough as the last.

Another hard core extremist to take the reins of government.

Now the question will be will this succession be for the good or the bad?

Will the Shia faithful accept this succession from father to son which is not something that is done with Shia religious leaders?

And the waiting begins.

Onward ‘Christian Soldiers’

So much twaddle!

We all know about the war that Donny and his merry band of a/holes have started with Iran and the blogs and news has been full of the reports but he best rhetoric comes from the dumb asses around Pistol Pete….

Now the religious zealots within the government are framing this conflict as some sort of ‘holy war’ (seriously?)…..at least some are nolt finding this terminology proper….

Some US service members say their commanders are casting the new conflict with Iran as a prelude to the apocalypse. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation reports receiving upward of 110 complaints since fighting began on Saturday, alleging that officers in every branch have framed the campaign as part of a “divine plan” leading to the Second Coming of Christ, per Raw Story, citing original reporting by journalist Jonathan Larsen. The complaints, from more than 40 units at roughly 30 military installations, describe what MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein calls an atmosphere of “unrestricted euphoria” among some leaders who see the war as biblically mandated.

One noncommissioned officer’s written complaint shared with Larsen says a combat unit commander opened a Monday readiness briefing by telling NCOs not to fear operations in Iran because they were “all part of God’s divine plan.” The commander allegedly cited the Book of Revelation, referenced Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus, and claimed that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran” to trigger those events. The NCO wrote that the statements “destroy morale and unit cohesion,” calling the comments “toxic and over the line.”

Weinstein argues that such messaging violates constitutional church-state separation and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which bars using official military authority to promote religion. Larsen notes that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has long associated with Christian nationalist leaders, including pastor Ralph Drollinger, who teaches that God rewards nations that back Israel and punishes those that oppose it.

he complainant says troops in their support unit feel forced to endure their commander’s “Armageddon views” and believe he thinks the entire chain of command backs him. The Cradle notes that the report syncs “with a pattern of senior US figures framing geopolitical policy through explicitly biblical narratives,” including Mike Huckabee claiming last month that Israel has a “biblical right” to a huge tract of territory that spans from “the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq.” More here from Larsen.

This is what we get when we allow morons to run the government….personally I do not give shit on Petey boy’s beliefs….they have NO place in government.

Besides is this not the same rhetoric that we condemned from Muslims and their ‘holy war’?

Jesus’ return?  How many times has that idiotic statement been made to justify stupid?

Stop using your religious ‘beliefs’ to justify and illegal act of war.

This country will be better when these twats keep their religious BS to themselves.

“This Is Not Regime Change War”

The lame ass words of Pistol Pete of the War Dept…..(sorry cannot take this dick wad seriously)

The nation’s top two military officials gave their first public briefing about the military operation in Iran, and both declined to put a specific timeline on how long it may last, reports the New York Times. (Earlier, President Trump suggested four to five weeks.) Highlights from the press conference with defense chief Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

  • Hegseth said the campaign had a “clear, devastating, decisive mission” to “destroy the missile threats, destroy the navy, no nukes,” reports NPR. He also blamed Iran for years of attacks on US interests. “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump we’re finishing it,” he said.
  • “This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change,” Hegseth said, referring to the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “And the world is better off for it.”

After a couple of days a sixth American has been confirmed dead…

The US death toll from the US-Iran conflict has risen to six, CNN reports. US Central Command on Monday announced the new toll from an Iranian strike on a temporary American operations hub at Kuwait’s Shuaiba port after the remains of two previously missing service members were recovered from the wreckage. The six service members are the first US troops killed in action since Washington launched “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran over the weekend.

Speaking of the troops…. what are the chances of ground forces sent to intervene in the conflict?

Nobody knows when the war in Iran will end, but President Trump continues to prepare the nation for a conflict that will be measured in weeks and perhaps months, not days. “Whatever the time is, it’s OK, whatever it takes,” Trump said at the White House on Monday, reports the New York Times. “Right from the beginning we projected four to five weeks, but we have the capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it.”

  • Objectives: The president listed four goals, reports CBS News. “We’re destroying Iran’s missile capability, and we’re doing that hourly,” he said. The strikes were also “annihilating their Navy,” ensuring that the “sick and sinister regime” can never have a nuclear weapon, and ensuring that Iran can no longer coordinate terrorism abroad.
  • Ground troops: In a separate interview with the New York Post, Trump did not rule out the use of US ground troops. “I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground,” he said. “Like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it. I say ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.'”
  • Intensification: Trump also told Jake Tapper of CNN that the airstrikes will likely intensify. “We haven’t even started hitting them hard, the big wave hasn’t even happened,” he said. “The big one is coming soon.”

To be open and  fair….Iranian deaths are compounding….

The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) said in a statement on Monday that at least 555 Iranians had been killed since the US and Israel began bombing Iran on Saturday morning.

Heavy US and Israeli strikes have been pounding targets across Iran since then, and President Trump vowed on Monday that the bombing would escalate. “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon,” the president told CNN.

…

When asked about the reports of massive casualties at a girls’ school, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it was “looking into” the reports of civilian harm. According to The New York Times, satellite images show the school is near an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) base, which was also hit during the attack.  (That is Trump-speak for who gives a fuck).

Here we go again sports fans.

If all this is successful who will lead once the regime change is complete (if ever)….

Guess who.  The son of the shah that totally crapped all over the Iranian people for decades.

Iran’s exiled crown prince says the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has opened a door he’s been waiting on for nearly five decades. Speaking from Paris, Reza Pahlavi told CBS’ 60 Minutes that he believes Iran’s ruling system is now “bound to collapse” and that he is ready to serve as a temporary leader to guide the country toward a democratic government—though, he stressed, not as king or as an elected official, CBS News reports. “Many Iranians, often despite facing bullets, have called on me to lead this transition,” he wrote in an oped piece in the Washington Post published Saturday.

Pahlavi laid out four pillars for a post-theocratic Iran on 60 Minutes: keeping the country intact, separating religion from government, guaranteeing equal rights under the law, and letting voters decide the political system. He called for dismantling the country’s nuclear weapons program and said he envisions future partnership and peace with Israel. Pahlavi, who has lived in exile since his father, the last shah, was ousted in 1979, rejected criticism tied to his father’s rule and said millions now chant his name inside Iran. He praised President Trump for military action against Iran’s regime but said he does not expect formal US backing, contending that parts of Iran’s security forces are prepared to abandon what he called a sinking ship. “This is our chance now,” the opposition leader said.

Many Iranians?  Who?  Name names.

He does not expect formal US backing…..a total bullshit statement.

With all that said what can we expect with this ‘regime change’?

Barely an hour after the first U.S. and Israeli missiles struck Iran, President Donald Trump made clear he hoped for regime change. “Now is the time to seize control of your destiny,” he told the Iranian people in a video. “This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”

Doesn’t sound complicated. After all, with Iran’s fundamentally unpopular government weakened by fierce airstrikes, some of its top leaders dead or missing and Washington signaling support, how hard could it be to overthrow a repressive regime?

Possibly very hard. So says history.

Washington has a long, complicated past when it comes to regime change. There was Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s, and Panama in 1989. There was Nicaragua in the 1980s, Iraq and Afghanistan in the years after 9/11, and Venezuela just weeks ago.

There was also Iran. In 1953, the CIA helped engineer a coup that toppled Iran’s democratically elected leader and gave near-absolute power to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. But as with the shah, who was overthrown in Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution after decades of increasingly unpopular rule, regime change rarely goes as planned.

This will not end well for the Iranian people….not that their lives were so perfect under the religious crap since 1979.

This war is not about democracy or the Iranian people….it was a business decision….plane and simple.

At what point is this meddling in affairs of other countries?

Iran: What’s Next?

Just two days into the attack on Iran the reports are the leader has been killed as well as 3 American and 5 others seriously injured.

The justification for this attack was of course the nuclear thing, but I thought we destroyed that capability last year’s attack and the trusty BS to help the Iranian people to live free.

So what on?

According to Donald Trump, Iranians have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “The hour of your freedom is at hand,” he declared, as U.S. and Israeli warplanes pounded Iranian cities and the compound of the country’s supreme leader. “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations.”

Trump’s comments made clear that America is seeking regime change. After decades of high tensions, tough recriminations and one-off attacks, Washington finally decided to try getting rid of the country’s government altogether — and it thinks ordinary Iranians will rise up and finish the job.

The country’s population, after all, is clearly fed up with the Islamic Republic. Over the last decade, Iranians have repeatedly staged mass demonstrations against the regime. Those protests typically only go away after the government responds with horrific force. In December and January, for example, hundreds of thousands of Iranians spent weeks demonstrating — until Iranian security officials shot and killed thousands of them. But now, American and Israeli warplanes are attacking Iran’s military and security apparatus and destroying other government institutions. They have killed the country’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and many other top officials. The Trump administration seems to be betting that the Iranian people will soon take over the regime change process, resume protesting and successfully remove a greatly weakened government.

To gauge how likely that response might be, I spoke to political scientists and Iranian experts, all of whom would love to see “people power” usher in new leadership in Tehran. But they also expressed deep skepticism that even this massive air campaign could produce a successful uprising.

For starters, they told me, aerial bombing campaigns have a terrible record at fomenting regime change in any state. Second, Iran has powerful repressive organs with a lot of experience in putting down popular unrest. In addition, Iran’s bureaucracy has been expecting — and preparing for — American attacks for generations. And even if Washington does successfully fracture or defang the Islamic Republic, exhausted and shocked Iranians may be too frightened or focused on survival to flood the streets. The country’s political opposition remains weak, and it is famously fragmented.

Let’s be clear the US has never been a champion of democracy in Iran….it has always been about the oil….PERIOD!

It is too early to judge what will happen next…..for the airstrikes are still a threat and people will try not to wind up like the Palestinians.

Donny has made it clear that he wants more sacrifice from our troops….

Three US service members were killed in action during the joint attack on Iran, the Defense Department said Sunday, the first American casualties of the operation that began Saturday. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” President Trump said Sunday afternoon in a video message, per the New York Times. “That’s the way it is.” Five others were seriously wounded, the Washington Post reports. US Central Command posted on X that several troops “sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions and are in the process of being returned to duty.” The military did not release the names of those killed or any details but added that their identities will be released 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

In the six-minute video, per the AP, Trump called the three service members killed “true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives.” He also said that “until all of our objectives are achieved,” combat operations will continue “in full force.” He did not specify what the objectives are. More than 200 have been reported killed in Iran since the US and Israel struck by the Iranian Red Crescent Society, per Axios. Iran was firing ballistic missiles and drones Sunday against American bases and targets in the Middle East. “Our response effort is ongoing,” the US statement said, per CBS News. “My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to US personnel in the region,” Trump had said Saturday.

“Peace President” Is At It Again

After some time of breast pounding the Idiot in the White House has started another war…..this time it is with our old nemesis Iran.

The US and Israel launched an attack Saturday on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian media reported strikes nationwide, and smoke could be seen rising from the capital. President Trump said in a video posted on social media that the US had begun “major combat operations in Iran,” the AP reports. He said Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach the US.

  • Trump said the US had launched a “massive” operation to “prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America,” per the BBC. He acknowledged that there could be American casualties, saying “that often happens in war.”
  • “Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” Trump said. “Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.”
  • Trump appealed to the Iranian people to “take over your government—it will be yours to take.” “This will be probably your only chance for generations,” he said. “For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let’s see how you respond.”
  • The New York Times reports that US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, say the campaign could last for several days and it will be far more extensive than the strikes that targeted nuclear facilities last year. The sources say dozens of US strikes are being carried out from bases around the Middle East and at least one aircraft carrier.
  • It wasn’t immediately clear whether the 86-year-old Khamenei was in his offices at the time of the strike, the AP reports. He hasn’t been seen publicly in days as tensions with the US have grown. The US has assembled a vast fleet of fighter jets and warships in the region.
  • An Israeli official tells Reuters that the joint operation had been planned for months and the date of the attack was decided weeks ago. In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “historic leadership” and said Israelis will need “endurance and fortitude” in the days ahead, with Iranian counterattacks expected, the BBC reports. “This murderous terrorist regime must not be armed with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all of humanity,” Netanyahu said. Like Trump, he called for regime change, saying, “Our joint action will create the conditions for the courageous Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands.”

How will this end?

The son of the Shah should be slobbering all over himself for he may get to be boss and make the Iranian people pay for what they did to his father.

Now there is Cuba…..should they be thinking ahead to a possible US strike and conflict?

The “Peace President” Is At It Again

Our self0identified ‘peace president’ has started more conflicts than he has hair on his head and now he is thumping his chest like some sex crazed primate to do it again with Iran.

The Trump administration is close to launching a major attack on Iran as it continues a massive buildup of military forces in the Middle East, according to a report from Axios reporter Barak Ravid.

Sources told Ravid that the potential US attack on Iran would likely be a massive multi-week operation, much bigger than the US operation to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. They said it would also be much broader in scope than the 12-day US-Israeli war on Iran that was launched in June 2025. Reuters also recently reported that the US was preparing for a sustained, multi-week attack on Iran.

Israeli officials said that the Israeli government, which is pushing for the US to pursue regime change in Iran, is preparing for the possibility of the attack starting in the coming days, and CNN later reported that the US military is ready to start the war as soon as this weekend. Other sources put the timeline a little later, saying the war would likely start in a few weeks.

“The boss is getting fed up,” a Trump adviser told Ravid. “Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks.”

The Axios report noted that there has been little public debate about the potential war amid the major US military buildup and said that Americans will likely be surprised by the scale of the coming attack.

All signs indicate that if the US bombs Iran, Tehran will not hold back in its response and could target multiple US bases and warships in the region, leaving open the possibility that the war could result in hundreds or thousands of US casualties. The conflict could also have a major impact on the global economy, as Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz, through which 31% of seaborne crude oil shipments passed in 2025.

The US and Iran held talks on Tuesday, and while the Iranian side said there was a “clear path” toward a deal, US Vice President JD Vance said that Iran was not acknowledging President Trump’s “red lines.”

Vance claimed the main US demand was that Iran must not pursue a nuclear weapon, but for many months, the administration had insisted the June 2025 US strikes on Iran “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities, and there’s no sign Tehran can enrich uranium at the moment. Iran has also made clear it’s willing to enter a deal that would involve a commitment to low enrichment levels, and Iranian officials maintain they don’t seek a nuclear bomb.

The real goal of any US attack on Iran will likely be regime change or taking out Iran’s ability to fire missiles at Israel. President Trump said back in December, when he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-lago resort in Florida, that he would support another Israeli attack on Iran if the Islamic Republic “continued” its missile program.

I thought according to Donny we destroyed their capability to enrich when we bombed them last year so if it is true how are they pursuing nukes?

Did he lie to us?

Please do not answer that for the answer is too damn obvious.

A Return To Yesteryear

There has been massive protests in Iran and the neocons are drooling all over themselves and they want to return the son of the late shah to a leadership roll.

It’s getting a little old at this point, but as the Deep State log rolls for another U.S. attack on Iran, it is promoting a new Iranian national savior, one with a familiar name.

Here’s a graphic seen on X, much like others showing up on social media, championing Reza Pahlavi as “the legitimate national leader of Iran.”

Because Pahlavi calls for more U.S. intervention in Iran including airstrikes, his champions are a midnight choir of failed voices from prior regime change calamities:  Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, James Woolsey.  He is featured frequently in the warmongering of the Empire’s lapdog press, in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and on Fox News.

Pahlavi’s only claim to legitimacy is that he is the son of the late-Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who was driven from Iran in the 1979 revolution.

Once again the US is ass deep in regime change….and as usual we have a leader in mind…..one that will be subservient to the US….just another control issue of oil.

The Iranian people’s desire is nowhere in the equation…..period!

This will return Iran to the days where the secret police (the Iranian version of ICE) will keep the people inline with brutality and the only winner in the overthrow of the Iranian leadership will be Pahlavi just as his father benefited.

Plus it will give Israel more leeway to focus all its energy on the elimination of Palestine in favor of some lousy idea of a Holy Land.

This will not bring peace to the region just a momentary lull until the next Iranian revolution.

Selective Memories

NOTE:  This is not necessarily about the current mash-up in Gaza just a few observations that I have made in my many years.

I would like to reiterate that I am NOT anti-Jew, personally I do not give a shit about their religious beliefs.

This post is more about the selective memories of the American people than it is about the current situation.

WARNING:  This post may include some offensive language that may offend the sensibilities of some readers….so if you are easily offended then maybe this post is not for you.

The date is 04 November 1979….US ally Iran has had months of protests against the policies and tactics of the Shah and on this date Iranian students stormed the walls of the US embassy in Tehran breaching them and taking 52 Americans hostage which were held for 444 days until their release on 20 January 1981.

Since that fateful day Americans have despised anything remotely Iranian.  (There so much more to that action than just a bunch of pissed off students)

To this day they, Iran, can do nothing right in the eyes of most Americans….for they are evil.

The date is 08 June 1967….during the 6 Day war when Israel was fighting against the combined forces of the Arab nations.

The US signit ship, USS Liberty, was patrolling in the Eastern Mediterranean….when suddenly the ship was attacked by Israeli jets and gunboats….the attack left 34 American sailors dead and 174 wounded.

Yet Americans ignore this murderous attack and support Israel in everything they do….why?

If you are interested, which you are not, I have a post the has articles about this attack….fucking read them and see what our good ally is capable of doing.

Remember The USS Liberty!

I to this day do not understand why Americans would rather ignore a barbaric murderous attack like the one Israel pulled on an American flagged unarmed ship.

A case of friendly fire?  NO!  This was no accident the cowards knew what they were attacking and who.  There is NO excuse for this action or the cover-up to protect an ally….NO excuse!

When we celebrate Veterans Day with the usual fanfare…all the thanks for your service and all….to me it is all just hollow gestures….for the ignoring the veterans of the USS Liberty diminishes all our vets and the American people are doing just that.

Of course the public can make excuses like ‘we did not know’ but that is a cop-out….they do not want to know….it is more important to show support for Israel than to honor fallen veterans who were doing their duty and serving their country in a time of need and were brutally murdered.

What is it that drives so many Americans to blindly, yes I said blindly, support Israel in all they do?

I know the answer….do you?

Please do not try to excuse this away for there is NO excuse for the men they killed and injured…..none whatsoever.

Again I apologize for the vulgarity of my tone….but this is something I feel strongly about….which if you read any of the reference material can understand my tone.
