If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Ear looks good though.
Next time someone refers to Russia as a superpower that the EU can't possibly stand up to without US support, I'll think of this.
Yeah, Canada is gonna wait this out, I think. There's no deal to be made with this charlatan.
You could do worse....
Does he have the gravitas?! JFC. Does The Tyee?
In conclusion, the US is a land of contrasts.
I'm increasingly convinced that half the CPC base would betray the country for a $100 tax cut.
The Trump regime has taught the world that there's no deal to be bargained for as long as that regime exists. If trust and predictability return to the US, we can begin again and renew the friendship. We'll see.
Well, Americans should react to that with calm, measured responses as always, I'm sure.
"stagflation". Damn.
So, um, if this nonsense is combined with the USD losing its status as the global reserve currency and then whatever other economic shitstorm follows on from a go at Greenland, just how bad does it get for the US economy? Runaway stagnation plus what?
Um, is the US president just a fucking stick-up artist, but now with the biggest gun in the world?
My new years resolution is to be more honest with myself and others about my not really caring for salmon that isn't smoked. #sobrave
really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability
From another perspective, Trump's domestic opposition seems really distracted by those files from the fact that Trump is successfully turning the US into the enemy of the free world.
The rest of the world thinks nothing very substantial will result from the Epstein files, but they sure as shit seem to distract Trump's domestic opponents from Trump turning the US into the enemy of the free world.
To my kids, trying to get them to fucking eat, something, anything: FINE!
Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.
I need a modified Palpatine meme with "So it's treachery then". Immediately!

Different vibe in Canadian media.
The only news that matters: Canada wants to join Eurovision. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.
I have a neighbour whose dad visits with a car plastered with "proud Rhodesian" stickers. He's what I think he is, right?
Reading the 2017 edition and realizing that all the things he warns us to keep from happening have happened is a mood. A shitty one.
I really feel like it's important to remind people that Donald Trump is a lying, fraudulent cunt who is destroying everything that made America great.
