silversalty.bsky.social•11 days ago

I wonder who this is intended for. I thought Iran has denied receiving any 'letter.' Any attack on Iran will be a disaster for the oil market. Price of eggs?
For Israel?

Do it Trump. Maybe it'll give your cult a sense of reality.

Interesting how the middle-eastern alignments may be recalibrating now in accordance with the new Russia-US “alliance”

How do Israel and Iran and their conflict fit in to it?

slightreturn.bsky.social•11 days ago

For decades Israel has been wanting the US to attack Iran. And now thst Trump has been bought by Adelson, he's gonna do the bidding of the zionists.

lovovmelife.bsky.social•11 days ago

But he’s also bought by Putin—who has historically supported Iran and opposed Israel
My question is ultimately how this web of conflicts will be reconciled, if at all

There is no Russia-US alliance. Russia has not shown any interest in allying with the US against China, which is the goal.

guwonder.bsky.social•11 days ago

Israel and Russia have already teamed up, and it has shown repeatedly this year. Netanyahu wants Syria fragmented and the Russians to effectively make Syria a landlocked country. It’s why Israel has been lobbying to let Russia keep bases in the parts of Syrian bordering the Mediterranean.

jackjones23.bsky.social•11 days ago

Just wait till the Europeans tell Trump he can't use European military bases to launch strikes on Iran. After all, if the US won't defend Europe anymore, why should the US be allowed to have bases in Europe anymore?

abc80.bsky.social•11 days ago

Western Europe has been under US military occupation since the end of World War II. Only the Europeans don't know this...

krainboltgreene.bsky.social•11 days ago

I sincerely doubt that will happen. The EU is our vassal state.

ricklehane.bsky.social•11 days ago

No. European nations were allied to the US. After 9/11 the US envoked NATO's article 5 for the 1st and only time. We all responded and took casualties. You insult our war dead. After a month of fucking about the US is about to enter the find out phase. It's gonna be a lonely place for you guys.

krainboltgreene.bsky.social•11 days ago

lmao, you guys think you aren’t colonial states just because you’re “the west”? We have at least 40 bases, half a mil troops, and 20 nukes.

Th US says jump and EU governments say “How many meters?” To quote the devil: it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal

ricklehane.bsky.social•11 days ago

Not now they won't. You've just sold out our Eastern flank to Russia. You can go to hell. We're in the process of removing the US from our defence infrastructure. It's not gonna happen overnight but it means if you guys want little a adventure in Iran you're on your own.

krainboltgreene.bsky.social•11 days ago

Uh huh, sure. Really unfortunate that the main natural gas pipeline to Europe was blown up by radicals in Ukraine. Thank goodness the US built all those LNG ports. Thankfully you can rest assured that America has never willingly hurt its protectorates to keep them under control.

alexcatx.bsky.social•11 days ago

Right, but the Europe thinks the US will help defend it (to respect NATO’s Art. 5) until proven wrong. Anyway, EU should have threatened leaving NATO over Greenland by now to show it has cards too.

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•11 days ago

Are you paying attention to anything going on right now? The EU is actively trying to get out of its US dependency, the likely next German head of government publically has doubted if NATO will exist like it used to by June.

alexcatx.bsky.social•11 days ago

Getting out of US dependency doesn't mean leaving NATO in a few months because the EU will take years to replace US operations. I think the next German Gov. doubts NATO will exist by the US' initiative, not the EU's.

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•11 days ago

The US is not reliable and even among the most feverish Atlanticists there are some who aren't entirely stupid. The first Trump administration was pretty bad but the attitude was that the US would get its shit together and it would be okay. But now Trump is the new normal and even more unhinged

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•11 days ago

And then there are the Gaullists who have always wanted a more independent Europe. There is a reason France only rejoined NATO like 20 years ago. And e.g. Macron always wanted Europe to be its own thing

jrgiguere.bsky.social•11 days ago

In 1986, France and Spain refused passage to US airplanes going from Britain to bomb Libya. Président Mitterand asked Reagan:"Do you intend to kill him?" No. Just scare him." "Then we'll help you when you are serious."

This is a great addition to the discussion. Thank you. Reagan was obsessed on fighting Communism his entire life which gave other NATO members like France a lot of leverage.

At least 5 that he's actively persistent about:
Canada, Greenland, Panama, Mexico, and Iran. (designating cartels as "terrorist groups" in order to bomb them).

6 if you include his steadfast determination to ethnically cleanse everyone out of Gaza and build a nightclub on the beach, apparently.

I thought MAGA was against endless wars. Now Trump threatens war against the whole world. Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Iran, and he might as well have threatened war against Ukraine, because he is helping Russia.
