Oh yes, desalination, electricity supply can be destroyed. Would Iran do that and invite total destruction – can’t trust DT of not using nuclear weapons as he is mad and agrees with mad Bibi.
Ritter has been saying for 2 years that Ukraine has lost their war – still going on.
Now he says that the US has lost the war in Iran – still going on.
I only wish he he was right,
BDS – USA (And Israhell) Now!
At the 1.51 point in the video; NATO was blaming Russia for drones launched from the Ukraine towards Russia and ending up in another country. Russia was apparently blocking the drone’s trajectory and for some reason NATO was averse to this. You have to laugh at the irony.
These discussions are the most valuable source of clear understanding that I’ve seen…nothing to say about this one yet; still chewing the geopolitical cud from this feeding.
Well here’s Russia’s response to the british provocation. (55 minute mark):

And opinion on Putin’s popularity/Russian economy:

imo, The Guardian is not as independent as it claims to me. Clearly controlled the the anti-Russian, anti-Putin hysteria sweeping across the EU, and their determination to ignore historical facts regarding the Donbas region.
I agree David. But sometimes they have good articles. They are not as bad as the bbc, but still need to improve their impartiality when it comes to Russia.
At about the 33 minute slot, Scott was asked about israel being a passenger on the US train now and what he thought about that. I laughed long and hard at his answer when he said “i just come down to logic”. How many of us long for our “leaders” to engage with logic. But they insist on fearmongering with these convoluted scenarios, thereby depriving us of simple solutions based on the study of correct reasoning.
Ray, I loved hearing your insight on dealings with Cuba before, and now.
We really need to leave Cuba alone and let them have what they need to live.
Cuba is not a threat to us at all. Corporations want to operate in Cuba freely, no regulations, to take advantage of the country. They are the ones attacking Cuba. We could be enjoying visiting Cuba as tourists, if not for Rubio and his kind.
Leave poor old Raul Castro alone. He was not the cause of their ills. Bag Rubio.
Trump’s next mistake usually comes from his need to divert attention from his previous mistake.
He’s a screw up ; everything Trump has touched is in trouble. His family life, Epstein, Casinos, six bankruptcies (one personal), Iran, and certainly the U.S. Presidency! What’s left? WW3?
