Is anyone else a bit concerned that we're heading for a disaster?


The state of the world today feels to me remarkably similar in nature to Europe pre World War I.


There is just so much shit going on in so many different places . . . and we have a certifiable clown running the show, creating half the problems in the world while being the least qualified and poorly equipped human being in history to solve the other half that he didn't create.


Meanwhile, the two great powers that have dominated world politics for so many decades are each fighting their own war, watching what the other is doing and all the while, China is announcing itself as a more stable and trustworthy economic partner than either.


I don't know . . . it's feeling a bit out of control to me.


Maybe I'm being paranoid . . .

The so called clown is tackling difficult issues which have been needing fixing for decades. China is only stable because they crush any dissent quickly and harshly...modern day serfdom....Westerners will struggle to adapt.

Rooi and BB


What was the world like when that crookefd Aurtopen was in charge Under the crominically stupid Biden and under the gutless Obams. Two ewars were ongoing in Iraq and Iraq. A war in Yemen and china was causing firther instability in Asia and Africa,


Because hey could benefit from corruption the war coninued and under Obama and Biden reigned supreme. with Obma and Biden the beneficiaries, China did as they please and Civil Wars and wars were invovled in at least 15 countries.


The US Defense Force were weakened and fled in the middle of the night from Afghanistan and af terwards donatefd %68 billion t the Taliban. USAID as used to fund Hamas and the Houties,

In Syria there was a vicious civil war supported by Iran on the go in Syria and a civil war created by Obama in Ukraine - which morphed into ffull scale war under Biden, Bilions in crruption was invovled in dealing with Rusia, Ukrine, Iran and China.


No world leaders respected he shit in charge and despise th e weakness the USA portrayed amongst wrk leaders. Rogue leades like Maduro and the Aytollah murderdered and oppressed crzies and crooked leaders had a free hand in what they did.


In teh USA Law and Order collapsed with deadly riots a regular - especually under Biden and the Democrats used terrorists internally to undermine democracy. Examples the 2020 riots in which 46 innocent people were murdered by the rioters, 1 200 police officers seriously inmjured and damage to the tune of over $6 billion cased, As if that was not enough the College riots last year caused msssive academic damage to tens of thousands of students/


One of the major problems was the move towards bankruptssy of he USA by spending money for projects that bore no frut for he people.


In essense the USA was weakened by poor eladership and th e riog ues in the world caused mayhem all over the world,


The result was mayhem throughout the world and the nly real benefciary was China and rogue states causing continuous nstability.


Trump was an answer to bring abck stabukuty in the world fo a change. World leaders fear and respect h im and rigues suffer as a result, Trump forced NATO to strengthen their armed services - NATO armies from Europe ebcame a farce with only Turkey havong a real army. When teh Houthies Somali's aattcked ships there was no pubnishment and Trump had to intervene and stiopped the attacks on ships in the Indian ocean and especially the Red Sea - with NATO countries unable to protect their own ships.


The War in Ukraine is the only real war on the go. Iran is being weakened on a daily basis and at least one dictator exporting drugs all over the ord was eliminated, Democracy is set to return to Venezuela.


Iran will also be forced to stop support of terrorism in the ME and Africa.


That indicates a more stable world than was the case since 2008. A strong USA leader is the only guirantee for democracy in the world - corrupt BSters are not needed.


Time for you 2 village idiots to learn from what is really happening in the world,

"Senator Mark Kelly summed up Trump with one word ... unqualified ... the ringmaster & his unqualified clown cabinet ... Noem Bondi Hegseth Patel Gabbard Kennedy Vance Miller"


An appeal to authority.


Wanna know why it's a dumb way to think and to argue?


Check the credentials of the people that started the Iraq war under Bush Jr.


Ever so qualified, and what was the result?


But Blo, if you don't want us to think that every word that comes out of your mouth is dictated by your racial bias, then simply tell us that Obama has blood on his hands RE Libya.


See, you can't do it.


Boring.

I'm not sure if we are spiralling. The dislike of the Iranian regime seems pretty unanimous.


The Kurds and Saudis want a piece of them.


I'm no expert on Arabania, and perhaps someone that knows a little more could explain, but from the outside it looks like the community have been itching to get rid of the household that is giving the street a bad name.


And that makes me feel more positive than negative. Like the Middle East wanna get on with life in an ever modernising world and they're sick of Iran trying to pull everybody back to the dark ages.


And the amount of support from Iranians both inside and outside of Iran makes me think it's possible.


I say the above knowing I have just made a post calling out Obama for Libya.

Trump was absolutely correct to target Iran

Previously, Iran has called for the elimination or annihilation of Israel, calling it "Little Satan", or the "Cancerous Tumor" and it is a regime that must be "Wiped off the map"

Most experts have agreed that Iran's nuclear program has long been viewed as a potential means to achieve that objective.

The US government has stated for years that a nuclear Iran would very likely seek the total annihilation of Israel.

The council of foreign relations has also stated that a nuclear Iran poses a existential threat to Israel

Israel is the only country that Iran has repeatedly threatend with destruction in official statements.

Obviously... targeting Israel or anywhere else with even one nuclear missile, would be absolutely suicidal for Iran, because they would be completely obliterated from the world map..... but just imagine a time and day where Iran was permitted to continue their nuclear ambitions, in good faith, and then for some reason, one day, you wake up and see that they have targeted Israel with a nuclear weapon, due to no or very limited oversight on their nuclear ambitions.....

That needed to be avoided at all costs, and Trump did that.

A disaster, it depends on the perspective: liberals are on the path to kill hundreds of millions people. Liberals will not perceive it as a disaster but as a salvation for humanity. It's been a while liberals keep claiming that killing people is one way to save them.


Paranoid, no because things are happening and will keep happening.


The reference to WWI that may lead to WWII is a point to consider. Both wars were perceived as civilisational collapse. After WWII, measures were taken to redress the civilisation course humanity has been on for millennia. But as this stage, once again, liberalism has confirmed itself a decivilisation process. Trump is not a cause, it is a mere catalyst. Things are not spiralling down, they are moving faster toward their conclusion.The best part of it is that liberals have done all the ground work to understand what is going on: so they are aware of it. Fact is that societies are shaken by internal contradictions and they advance by resolving these contradictions. Liberal countries have kept exporting their contradictions in order to avoid solving them. Right now, countries say they have enough, which do not matter... What does not matter... What matters is the large number of countries that betray they can no longer take it as they are at the end of the rope.

It is very funny. Liberals can not maintain any kind of cohesiveness. The Iranian regime never stated anything like that. There is a regional conflict with various countries trying to claim the title of regional power. It is deeply ingrained in Iranians and a regime change will not change it. Due to their past history, millennia long, Iranians think they are the power in the region.


The Iranian regime stated that the pretension of Israel to become that regional power should be curbed, that Israel's influence should be diminished. Israel should not be making history in the region.


What matters in this stuff is Israel has the same plan for Iran; Isreal wants to wipe Iran from the pages of time. Both the US and Israel would like to trigger a civil war in Iran but they probably differ on the end goal, Israel would not reject the division of the large Iranian countries in small units. Which the US probably do not want.


Once again, liberals find very normal when they do certain things and can not stand when people behave the same way as they do. Which is another big contradiction: liberals say that all humanity should adopt liberalism yet can not accept other people behaving the liberal way.

It is very funny. Cohesive thoughts are not possible for liberals. They explain this area of the world is in constant warfare etc then they will place as an exemption a climate of hatred.


Kurds are hated in the area. Saudi Arabia is hated as a regime throughout the Muslim world, especially among the Muslim diaspora living in liberal countries.
