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?

Th anks for the info NWO...I personally think all these wars in the recent past was all about taking over the caspian region...Lets not forget the Georgian incursion through that piece of real estate that gets near the water in that area.   I used to buy into all this we the good and them the evil stuff but it looks like the so called conspiracy theories turned out to be right on the money..fair play to all those folk who saw all this coming and tried to warn the sheep..erm cattle or whatever we are being classed as now

Why are people afraid of Iran getting nuclear weapons?Surely the threat of mutually assured destruction would prevent Iran ever usingtheir weapons, should they make any. 'MAD' might be a dangerous balance of power,but it has worked since the creation of nuclear warheads and prevented the USand USSR from destroying each other. I agree with everything stated in thearticle, except the criticism of globalisation. This is the most logical moveforward which if a consensus could be reached, might just remove national antagonismsand make humanity more cohesive and less divided. Democracy and freedom needsto be replaced with unity and reason which is a service to everybody, not justthe select few. RT is a great questioning force in the world media, however itshould not appear to be just slagging off everything 'the west' does, that willonly create scepticism that you're one sided just like the western media. Nonethelesskeep up the good work!
 I t's Israel, they dont want another force capable of withstanding them in middle east. Israel does not want to share middle east.  You'll be surprised I've met planty of good noble people who are brainwashe dinto thinking that U.S. must help Israel, because if we don't ww3 will start and because it was said in biblical texts.

Pepole need to wake up and stop being so damn gullible.When armed thugs murder people in places convenient for the global cartel of crime that run this planet they are called freedom fighters but when same act in defiance or contrary to their interest they are called terrorists.   Gadhaffi was everyones buddy until he didnt want to play ball with the oil companies and banking interests any longer then he was sodomised and murdered by satanic thugs

Dr Who Brilliant! And precisely lacking access to Russia is why Hegel protected this Germanic fantasy of West into the new land of the Americans as part of the West. Some Russians do not get it—it seems there is no West – outside of this ideological constructs.

It is those who provoke wars by trampling on the rights of others and insitgating the derision among men setting one against the other who are responsible for all the evil on earth.   When you starve someone and then criminalize them for stealing a loaf of bread you are in league with the devil himself.

Did the allies not contemplate coo peration with the almost defeated germans at one point in ww2 to join forces and take russia?   Nob ody likes commies but that would have been treacherous indeed.Almost as treacherous as evil hitlers broken pact with evil stalin.   I thinks ALL powers on this earth are wicked no matter what they are called facism,communism,wha tever?...all ran by corrupt and deceitful men

It is obvious that I have stumbled upon a news site frequented by brainwashed people that have no facts about what is going on in the world.    I think it would do the world justice if we, the United States never helped anyone.  Let's see- what would the world look like?:   1.Ja pan would own all of the Pacific including China. No one seems to care how Japan treated the Chinese, Philipines, etc before America kicked their ars. 2. South Korea wouldn't be thriving with multiple car companies.  They would be starving to death like North Korea. 3. Most if not all of Europe would be Nazi Germany. 4. The Middle East would serve as "non-arian" slaves to Hilter's legacy. 5. Russia would be Japanese in the East and German in the West. 6. Kuwait would be owned by Saddam Hussain 7. Saddam Hussain would eventually take over Iran 8. Women in Afganistan would still be sex slaves for Taliban.   Al l of you who hate the USA make us Americans laugh.  
1. It was Americans responsible for WW2.George Bush's grandfather GAVE money to Hitler to arm the SS and the German military.2. America prompted Japan to attack by sinking one of the Japanese mini-subs and starving Japan of oil.3. Russia lost over 20 million people and pushed the Germans back into their own country.4. It was Russia that saved Europe because they were pumping out thousands of tanks every week.5. It was the Russians who protected the Caucasian oil fields in the South, stopping Rommel from getting the resources to re-supply their King-Tiger Panzer tanks.
You haven't a clue do you?Typical American, Stop drinking flouride and believing the Government is great.

@Europe Furthermo re, people know Germany understands their own weaknesses. Land and resources is what is holding back Germany. Western Europe has had their eyes on Russian land and resources for hundreds of years. Why else would Napoleon waste his army marching into Russia? And Hitler doing the same just 50 years later. Western Europe's limitations are resources and land. They want Russia. Period. Have fun trying to convince the Russians you're their friends and they should lay down their arms. LOL
