Transcript:
– We will take revenge for Hajj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and his companions and we will not accept anything less than the expulsion of US forces from Iraq
– the Iraqi parliament decision today is one of the most important decisions it has taken throughout its history
– We tell the Americans that Trump is an idiot who will cause nothing but further death and casualties for American soldiers
– The US forces must leave (Iraq) immediately, and if they begin to stall, we will consider them as occupation forces and act towards them based on this
– The Israeli project will never rest until it engulfs Iraq in flames and civil infighting
Fine rhetoric, but Trump Says “US Will Not Leave” Iraq Unless Billions For Air Base Are Repaid (ZeroHedge).
Apart from the obvious response to come and take it away, why not offer it to the Chinese and/or Russians just to rub salt into the idiots eyes? They might be prepared to offload some useless paper money for it just to humor the Americans as they slink off into the historical night.
The Americans must not get even one dollar!!!!
If any money is to be paid it must be the US paying Iraq for the 100s of $billions that they caused in damage and destruction to the country by laying waste to Iraq’s infrastructure and institutions, based on an illegal war
They are also responsible for countless deaths and numerous war crimes.
The depleted uranium that they used in abundance in places like Fallujah is still causing cancer and horrific birth defects.
They looted and destroyed Iraq’s cultural heritage and the gold reserves in the Central Bank was also taken.
Iraq must formally file a claim for $billions in reparations from the US.
Trump is an arrogant fool and an odious embarrassment that is confirmed each time he tweets.
I’m reminded of an observation that the Supreme Leader made some time ago regarding Trump :
The Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in his esteemed wisdom observed that the very fact that someone like Trump can become president of the United States serves as evidence of America’s decline.
And oh, how right he is.
He does not understand that this is not a reality show like the Apprentice, where he can determine how things end. This is Geo-Political statecraft at its highest, and Trump is completely out of his depth.
On the bright side, his incompetence and arrogance serve to hasten the collapse of the US Empire.

Well said S-400!
For any individual or country that eagerly awaits the demise of the Hegemon, they could not have asked for a better asset than the moronic Drumpf…he is well on the way to getting the job done almost single-handedly…no help is needed from any of his ‘adversaries’… he is quite capable of bringing his country to its knees with zero assistance.
Of course, Greg Hunter and many of his followers still think this outrageous imbecile is doing a sterling job…if you want to see a great display of complete cognitive dissonance then just do a quick visit to USAwatchdog…some of the idiotic comments are truly breathtaking…Hunter himself still applauds the tearing up of the JPOA by his hero.
Here is an example of an exchange between the idiotic Hunter and an Ausy commenter who makes some very valid observations…[apart from the one about Hunter possessing “high intellect”]
It is copy and pasted as it appeared on the site. As always, Hunter makes an appalling number of sloppy mistakes in virtually everything he writes.

If the US strikes Iran……then the karma of the US will be unleashed upon her unwitting populace. Terrible……yet completely necessary at the same time.
The United States stands at the very precipice of its’ own self constructed annihilation. The nations of the world are abused by her, whilst internally, her people are tormented by a bastard government that serves only evil.
Good people will die in the US…….all because those in power believed the name of the planet was “America”……it is actually “Earth”.
Strike Iran……..America dies……it really is that simple.
It’s Karma.
Nothing stops it.
People in The US and Australia will soon get their karma.
Whether they understand it is another issue completely.
Happy New Year to all here…….wishing you nothing but the best as we hurtle toward our karmic cement wall.

Ray,
Iran attacked our Iraq embassy first. Did you just forget about that?

Greg…..I haven’t forgotten anything, my good sir.
Now let’s come to the crux of the argument here……the US has attempted (and succeeded) in completely subjugating Iran (and the Middle East nations)….for around 45 years.
So there is no point complaining about having an Embassy attacked, when it is the Embassy of a subjugating, illegal invader nation.
Did you forget about that?
A man of your high intellect surely would not.
You could though, as many choose to, put it to one side completely, and rush to the defence of US foreign policy.
Happy New Year.

How about the fact of america attacking the Iraqi soil,in 2003, the Iranian soil in 1953, the Cuban soil in 1960 after the flat robbery of Guantanamo in 1906,
the Granada soil by R Reagan, the soil of Haiti where they stayed for 21 years… until leaving behind a starving country, the Vietnamese soil just after the French colonizers had been kicked off at bayonet point.
Oh, yes the Lybian soil in 2011 under direct supervision by Killary.
it lasted until Vlad Putin gave them a lesson on 30 sept 2015 (with a force of just 60 planes and copters all in all) but enough to kick american ass out of Syria.
The stupidity goes on as we saw in the BAGDAH airport on january 1 2020
Agree S400, the US has to pay not only to Iraq, but to Vietnam, Cambodia, Somalia, Serbia, Japan, Nicaragua, Salvador, Venezuela, Argentina….This list could go on
The very best reply to Trump wanting to play real estate games during a time of political crisis leading to hot war, is to invite him to leave and feel free to take his buildings back with him.
China on Soleimani killing: US should not abuse military power, we are watching
https://www.rt.com/news/477468-china-us-abuse-force-soleimani/
Rather than some whoever ‘chinese official’ PomPom claimed to have seek and counsel b4 the entrapment murder!
This is from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (READ: Its from Xi, and the entire Standing Committee and The entire CCP and entire China)
YES WE ARE WATCHING!
p/s rus prob has less than 1% of those useless papers and chi probably has less than 10% (guesstimate) but my view is both has ZERO US-denominated debt and The Switch is fully tested and ready to Reset (need about 24 hours to fully replace EVERYTHING). Everything else is (fake-adjusted-hypotheticated) accounting suited to the current geopolitical climate of the day, in the hope and pursuit of peace, while it lasted. Pls understand – in the west there are no honest accounting, no rule of laws and worse, they do not hesitate (as shown again) to act out pure violent inhumane sub-non-human circus show. What should the ppl in the east and ME do? Bend over and smile?! HA :D
you have post that ‘info’ many times before… got any new ‘info’?
What’s the strength of all the Shia and affiliated militias in Iraq? 150,000? 200,000? Would they be enough to drive out the Americans on their own?
I would say, the Sun, those 200,000 men, and a mix of causing inconveniences to America’s logistics, eg..supplies..food water ect..is enough to drive them out.
Agree with every word. Hope Iraq can kick the US the hell out.
A chilling comment from someone at Moon of Alabama that reveals the sociopathic nature of the American military high command, many of whom are Trump Regime advisors:
b just posted a link to a fantastic Twitter thread by Reza Marashi who describes comments from US officials. He’s credible.
I had to cut and paste these three particular tweets from that thread because it strikes me as the most important underlying threat by far that everyone outside the US should understand about the psychopaths driving the bus here and blood that will flow in Iraq.
Reza Marashi @rezamarashi
“So many of Trump’s top advisors on Iran are military vets who served multiple tours of duty in our wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. They believe to their core that Iran is the reason why they lost those wars, and they’re dead set on payback – no matter what it takes.”
Reza Marashi @rezamarashi
“They’ve been pushing to kill Soleimani for years, and they finally baited Trump into it. They think war with Iran is long overdue, so for them, this was a means to an end. When Iran responds, they’ll tell Trump to hit the Iranians harder. You see where this could go.”
Reza Marashi @rezamarashi
“They know the Iraqis are gonna kick them out now, so they’re gonna try to kill as many as possible on their way out. Iranians, Iraqis, whoever. Some of them are advising Trump to tell the Iraqi government to fuck off and dare them to make us leave. I shit you not. Insanity.”

An anecdotal finding for your consideration:
I have observed (and personally encountered) that the Americans insisting on war with Iran have an anger problem. They are emotionally unstable, and cannot be reasoned with in any manner where US actions overseas are concerned. They lack impulse control, and possess an unruly temper.
I have only encountered men behaving this way in my admittedly small sample group; none of the women behaved, thus.
I would be very interested to know if others are encountering this same, uncontrollable rage problem in the pro-war people around them.
These individuals are profoundly unwell.
Addendum:
I neglected to include in my findings that these same, deeply disturbed men also consistently display very low intelligence and exhibit poor reasoning abilities.
Anger is a destructive passion of the mind, along with attachment, vanity, greed, etc. The person exhibiting anger reveals that they are dwelling outside the flow of life, and are in fact, resisting it. There is no justification for righteous anger from a spiritual perspective.
@ dimitar
Hmmmm. What you so fashionably call ‘passions of the mind’ have, for all time, been otherwise identified as ‘badness’, or ‘evil’ in all societies, even the most primitive ones.
One of the most unfortunate remnants of communism in the east and the big feature of socialist corporatism in the west is to convince, dissuade, tax, punish and ostracize people out of a clear understanding that badness has an external, not internal origin. The behavior we are witnessing is absolutely not ‘from the mind’. It is an external force from an external source, like light and gravity, and lava.
Until you get your head around that reality and drop the ‘flow of life’ twaddle you literally have no platform on which to stand against it. Which is, of course, the point. In the words of CS Lewis’ minor demon Screwtape ‘the first goal of the practicing demon is to convince its prey that the demon does not exist, and that life is all a matter of choice and expression without personal consequence’ (or words to that effect).
And you had better believe that the corollary, righteous anger, exists too or you are toast.
Have a nice day.
Where did I say righteous anger didn’t exist? I said there’s no justification for it, spiritually. Anger amounts to “how dare you have a different viewpoint to mine”? In the absolute sense, there is no such thing as evil, since evil exists as an opposite to good, thats all. If you cannot grasp where I’m coming from, have the decency to refrain from terms such as “twaddle”, for God’s sake.
OK, you did say that there is no justification for righteous anger, admitted. I absolutely disagree, however, with both your posts and I am sorry to tell you, it would seem God does too. Righteous anger is one of the uncomfortable characteristics of the Divine, mentioned everywhere and demonstrated by Christ which liberal minded Christians would rather pull a cover over.
And this is not a viewpoint of mine, like a rock being hard is not my viewpoint. It is a defined and demonstrated characteristic. You can deny it until caught in the side of the head with one.
In the absolute sense, God hates evil, as is written. (Perhaps ‘hates’ is where woolly English fails the harder Greek and Aramaic, but let us say ‘abhors’, which lacks the pointed physical aggression of combat implied in the translation ‘hates’).
But this is, according to you, is one of God’s other complexes, alongside His anger issues, a delusion, because it is just a yin to God’s yang, an absence of Him. So possibly his hatred of evil is product of some kind of mania, maybe a God complex?
There is good and there is evil, absolute tangible realities in the metaphysical and physical realm. They are real entities that fight a perpetual battle – not over creation which is good but over the beloved of God’s creation, namely you and I with our blasted free will. People misunderstand today the conversations of the Pharisees and Israelite’s over Christ’s ‘Get behind me Satan’, His temptations, the casting out of devils. Like you and many contemporary Jews, they defined evil as you do, as an absence – not a thing. It was a massive re-understanding and challenge to see this person actually wrestling with an entity. The specific point about Christ descending into hell between death and resurrection to free the souls of the deceased, including the fathers of their faith, was an astonishing re-calibration of Jewish understanding of the nature of good and evil, and of the consequences of the fall.
And if you want to deny all that – 2000 years of analysis, revelation and experience – using the last 70 years of twaddle and, in Freud’s words, ‘the plague’ of psychoanalysis, I’m sorry.
Believe what you want. I am not challenging your beliefs. Just your belittling of another’s viewpoint, which speaks more of your narrowmindedness than anything else.
The comment about internal passions seems very valid to me. It is why we do bad things even when we know we shouldn’t do them. It is up to each one to battle these passions in our lives because as sure as there are other eternal evil forces, demons, they will tempt each one with the passions that are strongest in them.
(James 1:14 [ESV2011]) But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
My priest handed out a prayer from elder Paisios of Athos which I don’t pray near enough.
My God, I know not what you will do. But I surrender myself to you completely so that you may cause me to become a human being.
There is a severe shortage of human beings on the planet. Humans of the type God created.
There is a mind control operating here. It is called “My country, right or wrong.” They literally cannot see anything else. Understand that they’ve been socially conditioned that they have moral standing higher than anyone else – and that there is no moral equivalency between themselves and others and that they are the ones that bring the vaunted “democracy” to the rest of the lower and idiot classes around the world. The Shining City upon the Hill, or Americans are the Exceptional Nation. We should actually feel sorry for these people. To my mind of thinking, there is a harsh awakening coming.
I just wanted to show that there are Americans that understand what is happening and will say it clearly. Please take a listen. I cannot link the podcast player here, but this is the page:

It may have something to do with the dreadful American diet and lack of exercise and sleep.
Or drugs of course.
Aye. I’ve dealt with them for decades now. None of them were particularly bright individuals, and that’s part of the problem. Their minds are too limited to form a full model of any situation, let alone to plumb the long term moral and ethical fruits of their proxy war-ape instincts. The American corporate media, owned largely by the MIC, has been hard at work to brainwash them for nearly 70 years. In the last 30 as the media outlets became more consolidated under a minority of owners the brainwashing went from 7 to 11.
“I have observed (and personally encountered) that the Americans insisting on war with Iran have an anger problem. They are emotionally unstable, and cannot be reasoned with in any manner where US actions overseas are concerned. They lack impulse control, and possess an unruly temper.”
American identity is based on the idea that the United States is the Shining City on a Hill, the Land of the Free, Beacon of Liberty, and other propaganda.
When confronted with the crimes of the American Empire, these people lash out because the very existence of these crimes shred American national delusions to pieces.
America is like a psychopathic serial killer–but one who tries to masquerade as a Pillar of the Community and Upstanding Moral Citizen.

Trump Administration Attempted to Block Iraqi Parliament Vote on Expelling Foreign Troops – Report
https://sputniknews.com/us/202001061077954976-trump-administration-attempted-to-block-iraqi-parliament-vote-on-expelling-foreign-troops—report/
“The Trump administration attempted to thwart the efforts of the Iraqi parliament to expel foreign military forces from the country in the wake of the killing of a top Iranian military commander and an Iraqi militia leader by US forces inside Iraqi territories, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two unnamed US officials and an Iraqi official.
The three officials told Axios that the Trump administration tried to convince the Iraqi government to block its parliament from passing the resolution, which will force the US military out of Iraq. One US official reportedly said that the exit of US troops from the country would “be catastrophic for Iraq”.
“It’s our concern that Iraq would take a short-term decision that would have catastrophic long-term implications for the country and its security. But it’s also what would happen to them financially if they allowed Iran to take advantage of their economy to such an extent that they would fall under the sanctions that are on Iran,” the official reportedly said. “We don’t want to see that. We’re trying very hard to work to have that not happen.”
Axios also cited an unnamed senior Iraqi official who claimed that many Kurdish and Sunni members of the Iraqi parliament, who are supporting the US presence in Iraq, did not attend the parliament vote on expelling all foreign military forces, including US-led international coalition, from Iraqi territories.
“This is a temporary victory for the parties which are pro-Iranian, but it’s also a clear message from the Sunnis and from the Kurds [who didn’t vote] and from some Iraqi Shia, for the Americans to tell them we want you to stay in Iraq,” the Iraqi official said, according to the website.”
Trump Says US Will Not Leave Iraq Until Baghdad Pays for American Air Base, Threatens Sanctions
https://sputniknews.com/us/202001061077954887-trump-says-us-will-not-leave-iraq-until-baghdad-pays-for-american-air-base-threatens-sanctions/
“S President Donald Trump was referring to the Balad military base that houses US forces some 50 miles north of Baghdad.
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive airbase that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it […] We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame”, Trump said Sunday, while traveling back to DC from Florida.
Trump also suggested that his administration “may discuss” releasing intelligence related to Soleimani’s assassination and reiterated his recent threat to attack Iranian cultural sites.
“They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn’t work that way”, Trump said.”
Pure likud zionazi-(very) gay terrorism. This shows the mentality behind the israeloamerican assets destroying cultural sites throughout the region. The sods who destroyed Palmyra. As long as it isn’t a Jewish cultural site, it is fair game for these likud/whahabi/nazi freaks. With these threats trump not only shows his mind operates at the subhuman level of likud and al qaida terrorists, it shows that these freaks are all the same non human creatures. They are aligned not just by greed and buggery, but spiritually and philosophically, also.
Well that escalated quickly. I have supported Trump in the past, but he has now gone completely off the rails. With Trump, we got a 3 year delay of the war that Hillary wanted so desperately to start. Now Trump has taken the bait, the hook, the line, and the sinker. Maybe this is why Pelosi withheld the articles of impeachment. She knew there was something much more criminal coming. Another sad day in the former Republic.
In theory, and if in practice, the troops do leave Iraq w/o firing a shot, this might be Trumps plan of painting the generals into a corner of retreat. Something he could not do with words alone.
It would be the campaign pledge promise everyone was looking for but no one could find a way to accomplish.
“Maybe this is why Pelosi withheld the articles of impeachment. She knew there was something much more criminal coming”.
Which would render impeachment inappropriate. You don’t flog the mule when it is going the way you want it to.
Law? Morality? Que?
@ bob
No. no. no! Trump hasn’t ‘taken the bait’. Someone has put the screws on him. Why now? The sheer amount of data that has entered the Israeli’s hands from Epstein.
Epstein didn’t die to cover up wrong doing and brush it under the carpet! That isn’t how power works! The entire top tier are locked in position and transactional relationships by a raft of incriminating knowledge about each others bad behavior, a matrix of assured mutual destruction.
People did not enter Epstein’s places and parties unwittingly, with an ‘Oh, gasp, she looks a bit fresh’. They entered to partake and let themselves be filmed and in doing so entered a pact. ‘I have handed you the means to my downfall, and you have given me yours. Now we can trust one another.’ This is the route by which you enter into the top trust relationships in the West: you hand over your impeccability to gain access to contracts, power, money. And this is why no-one at the top seems honest, or good and why Tulsi Gabbard is a never-ran. No dirt on her, so no control over her.
Epstein was one data collector for a bit. It was time that the crop of his lifetime of data collection and blackmail for personal gain was harvested for the greater project. He was the sluice gate in the wall of a lake of misdemeanors. Whoever now has his records – and it is a state actor, possibly via Ms Maxwell – is the new sluice gate.
Since Epstein’s death things have not calmed down, or been swept under the carpet. The Israeli’s, with Netanyaho’s prosecution looming, have begun to use it in new extremely active and public ways. They have a large number of people by the scrotum who want to be elected.
Trump hasn’t ‘taken the bait’. He is over a barrel.
And there you have it: a man who would rather kill a million than be personally ashamed for the private acts of pride and ambition.
Sin a little, and sooner or later you will have to sin bigger.
This is raw gangster talk from Trump and the U.S. government. Nice store you have here. You need us to protect you. It is going to cost you money. It would be a shame if you had a fire here. Beutiful family you have. Beautiful children. I hope they stay safe. Capisce?
So it looks like there will be increasing attacks against military targets. They identified in their short statement the greater Israel project. Maybe they will be attacking them too. And of course, Iran will be blamed and they will be bombed. It looks like there is no stopping this. America has no intention to ever leave. They need the oil. We all do but not to take it like gangsters. If oil wells start getting blown up and nobody can get near to work on them for fear of getting killed that would throw a wrench into their machine.
AOC, Ilhan Omar Accuse Trump of Tweeting ‘War Crimes’ Threats Against Tehran

This is a war crime.

@RepRoKhanna
Congress has the power to change course and stop a war with Iran. @SenSanders and I are introducing legislation to block Pentagon funding for any unilateral actions this president takes to wage war against Iran without Congressional authorization.
Enough.
Speaking to MSNBC on Friday, Khanna noted that the bill will “cut off any funding for offensive action against Iran or Iranian officials.”
Trump’s tweeted threats were widely met with scorn, as the president appeared to be threatening to commit war crimes while breaking UNESCO’s 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Heritage in the Event of Armed Conflict, which rules out the intentional targeting of cultural heritage sites.”
In the not so distant future, people like AOC, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, and Bernie Sanders will be attacked by angry mobs of American Brownshirts for their treasonous Thought Crimes.
America will be the Fourth Reich–if it is not already.
I don’t hold my breath for AOC. She dumb. She is just waiting for her turn on the lunatic mary-go-round called the US Government.
Sometimes I have the feeling that all the new “western union” is the fourth reich.
Truth of the matter is, the Iraqi PM was used by sauds/US to lure BOTH muhandis and QS to fake meeting with the PM, and an Israeli agent was ready with the pointing lasers for the missiles to zero in at the airport exit road. PM MAHDI BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEING USED and SO STUPID, he should be hanged too.

“On Sunday, Iran announced that it was rolling back its nuclear deal commitments and said it would enrich uranium based on its technical needs.
The fact that Iran has abandoned its limitations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) does not present any threat of nuclear weapons proliferation since Iran has maintained contact with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
It added that Russia remains fully committed to the Iran nuclear deal and called on all the signatories to create conditions for reviving the deal.”

Iran Will Destroy ‘Key Israeli Targets’ if US Attacks, Former Revolutionary Guards Chief Warns
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202001061077955736-iran-soleimani-killing-israel-targets/
“Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and former chief of the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has warned of far-reaching repercussions from a possible US strike on the Islamic Republic.
“In response to Trump, who had said that Washington will attack Iran if it takes revenge, Rezaei said “be sure that in such a case we will completely level [Israel’s port city of] Haifa and key Israeli targets”, on Sunday.”
I’ve been scanning a few ‘alternative news’ sites. What I see is laughable. They truly are conveyor belts disseminating propaganda for the U.S. Department of State, the Pentagon, and the White House. One headline after another demonizing Soleimani, Iran, N. Korea, Russia, China. I’m thankful for this site which offers much deeper analysis, rather than hysteria.
Hal turner radio show (this has to be a psyop site) is reporting constant rocket and mortar attacks against the green zone in Iraq. I understand this is not a small area, but they never seem to hit any targets. If this is Iran launching these attacks, they don’t have a hope. They couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door apparently. Everyone is in the midst of a psychological operation to instill maximum fear. Then, when the tyrant attacks Iran or any other targets, committing more war crimes, they will appear the hero.
