Imperial overdrive: Red alert over Iran

December 30, 2011 15:05

2011 will be remembered as the year the US, Britain, France and Israel went into Imperial Overdrive in North Africa and the Middle East. Will 2012 be remembered as the year those same Western Allies unleashed World War III?

I came across this article and expected information... It should have been labeled commentary from the start.  One can then expect bias, rather than to smell it by the third sentence, taste it by the fourth, vomit it by the fifth....well, you know where this is going!

Bit of a paranoid article. I doubt the west really wants to go down the armageddon route to establish the dream of world government (whatever that is). And do you really think Western intelligence services were managing systematic regime change during the Arab Spring? I mean after the very public screw ups regarding Iraqi WMDs and the ocassional landing of their spy drones in the wrong country when did the CIA and M16 suddenly become competent enough to organise uprisings in half the arab world . And since when did the Council of foreign affairs become the shadow leaders of the West. For that matter is this Adrian Salbuchi even a journalist or just a conspiracy fantasist pulled out to generate some non-news.

I would like to give my support to Iranian people. I am an orthodox so this has nothing to do with religion. My country already felt the bombs and destruction of USA. As all of us can see ... the war is imminent. But ... maybe that war would be the end of USA. They look like wounded beast thirsty for blood.But, if the whole world knows what will they do ... is than, the guilt, on the shoulders of Russia, India, China and Brasil ???? Remember the Hitler and Poland in 1939 !!!!This time ... Iran is Poland !!!!

If some  western countries could impose unilateral sanction against Iran,so why this so called UN exist? I've heard this kind of sanctions are indeed act of war and is considered a "war crime", according to Geneva Convention!!Is that true?

ChrisGermany What about the history of WWII written by the Russians and other nations of the East? The fact you are here- at a key Russian website- making fool of yourself –suggests that “the West” (i.e. the U.S propaganda and Hollywood films especially educated many Germans that Germany did not committed heinous crimes in the East in WWII.. This is the mainstay of Hollywood films of Germany’s in the Eastern Front in WWII ( see the Iron Cross to enemy at the Gates and the rest of them). Few Hollywood directors and screen writers who refused to play along this line were removed from Hollywood as Communist sympathizers. This is the very same Hollywood that educated Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms Proud American. Majority of Germans- except those from the East -have no idea what their country did in the East in WWII- because almost all the German films of WWII blame Hitler for these atrocities and Germans are always represented as the true victims- because, ironically, they feel sorry for themselves because Germans failed to win WWII against the Russians and other strong willed Slavs of the East-again. Most Germans blame their defeat in the East on Hitler as well. God Bless Russia and the Slavs of the East for defeating the fascist hordes in WWII. In the new multi-polar world, the Germans would need to learn the true nature of Germans aggression against the Slavs of the East. P/S. Because of the U.S roles of Post WWII, Japan and Germany, Japanese has never fully and respectfully apologized massive war crimes and crimes against humanity Japan committed against the Chinese people and Germany ( the West Germans) has never fully or nearly admit the degree of Germany’s war crimes or crimes against humanity against the Slavs of the East. These two nations will have to correct their WWII historiography ( with respect the Slavic people by the Germans and the against the Chinese by the Japanese).

@New World Order   Your knowledge base on western history books, written by the winners. I don´t care. I think this room is not the right place to discuss ww2 and you are the wrong person to do with. Believe in everything you got told by the media and go your way. This is much easier than to think...   Go d bless you Mr. Rainbow Warrior
