Iran War: Ecology, Human Rights, Asymmetric Warfare, and Anti-Imperialism

In the Vietnam War, the US won every battle and lost the war.


I'm not ashamed of being an American because I have no part of the childish cruel madness being perpetrated by the satanic leaders of America.  My list of Americans not fit to walk the earth gets longer.  And since it is my list I am not on it.

It is nice to listen to others who are not entranced by perverted American bullshit.  People are dying.  Limbs are being blown off.  Max and Justin want you to know.  They want to help people climb out of the pit of ignorance.

US and EU sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1970

Sanctions often have a huge human toll.  Scholars have demonstrated this in several well-known cases, such as the US sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s that led to widespread malnutrition, lack of clean water, and shortages of medicine and electricity.


This article is talked about.

Dover Air Force Base seeks staff to handle fallen troops’ belongings

The roles involve processing and final disposition of personal effects from overseas military and civilian casualties, according to the job posting. Duties include collecting, cleaning, documenting and shipping personal effects to families or next of kin of service members and others who were killed or seriously injured.


This one too.

Trump his fool enough to think his own personal TRUMP brand is more powerful than seventeen centuries of Persian geography.  Roman Emperor Julian died in his Mesopotamian quagmire.  Also for vanity.  Trump will die in his Mesopotamian quagmire.  This mess will last longer than Trump will.

The Sky Is The Limit For The Current Oil Price Rally

Brent tops $90 as the Strait of Hormuz closure halts Gulf oil flows and Iraq and Kuwait begin cutting output, fueling fears of a sharper price surge.


And in the turmoil, some will be making a killing.  The tragedy is that we let them.  If you ever wondered what the "ordinary people" in Nazi Germany were doing during the war, you're doing it now.

‘After’ the Rojava Revolution? Rethinking Political Hope in a Post-Autonomy Syria

Since early 2026, Rojava in North East Syria, has been under renewed assault by the new Syrian regime. A majority-Kurdish region, Rojava has, for more than 12 years been home to one of the world’s largest experiments in democratic autonomy and ecological living.

‘Operation Epstein Distraction’: Trump’s bloody Iran ‘hype videos’ seem to target niche audience

One video, released on Thursday and captioned “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY”, is less than a minute long but manically mixes footage from iconic action movies such as Braveheart, Gladiator, and Iron Man with apparently real footage of American ordnance striking Iranian military targets. Pulsing, fast-paced electronic dance music plays in the background as Russell Crowe, in Gladiator, says, “Strength and honor,” and a face-painted Mel Gibson, in Braveheart, demands: “What will you do without freedom?”  (It is unclear if the White House obtained permissions for the film and music in these clips, though it seems not.)  Another video, captioned “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue”, opens with someone calling in an air-strike in the style of Call of Duty, the first-person-shooter video game. Thumping music starts and the video segues into a series of clips of US bombs destroying Iranian vehicles and facilities. As each target is destroyed, a video-game heads-up display announces that the viewer has scored another 100 points.

I do not want to see the video.

I get upset every time I hear 'Danger Zone' over the radio.  Military recruitment and the normalization of combat.  Combining pop-rock with military hardware produced "militainment." Upbeat, catchy hooks to celebrate state sponsored violence as a heroic coming-of-age story.  And that is what the video is supposed to do. 

When I hear it I think of adults with the minds of children.  And I think of the money grubbing assholes who made the music to advance their own careers, not caring two fucks about what the words say.

Money not only talks, it can sing.  And money gets the same thrill celebrating death as Trump gets when he pops the cherry of a 14 year old.  But his new video of state sponsored violence is no heroic coming-of-age story.  It is a story intended to hide Trump's not so heroic cumming in under-age stories.

This is more appropriate to the actual circumstances.


QuoteSome folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays 'Hail to the Chief'
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

If you want a song that actually tells the truth about the machinery of war, listen to the people who aren't invited to the party.  And watching the Charmin Bear sell toilet paper is better viewing than a Trump video.

Here's another of my favorites from Phil Ochs.


Favorite lyrics:

So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
Serve your country in her suicide
Find a flag so you can wave goodbye
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
This country is too young to die

Isfahan, Iran, dated March 24, 2026

Something you sure the fuck will not see on any American news.  While the Epstein criminal cadre makes bank, people die.

The strike killed a colonel in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mechi Nasra Azadoni, who had just returned home on leave. Also killed were his mother, his wife, and two of his children.  The Governor of Isfahan province, Mia Jamali, stated that the murderous Israeli / U.S. war crimes have resulted in the deaths of 168 children in the region.

Is America Fascist?  That debate is OVAH !

A pharmacist and a homesick lifestyle blogger: The 'alarming' civilian cost of war in Iran

A committed pharmacist and a homesick blogger.  Iranian civilians killed in the war.


 
 
 
 

 

Iran's 5-Point Plan

Tehran's response via state media (and delivered back through Pakistan) makes it clear Iran want a reckoning:

1) War Reparations: They are demanding full financial compensation for the destruction of their infrastructure and the 20,000+ residential units already hit.
2) Sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz: They are claiming total "natural and legal" control over the waterway, a move that would permanently hold 20% of the world's energy supply hostage.
3) Halt to "Assassinations": A demand for a complete end to the targeted killings of Iranian officials and scientists.
4) Guarantees that the U.S. and Israel can never restart the war.
5) Regional Ceasefire: Insisting the deal include all their allies, effectively demanding that Israel stop its invasion of Lebanon.

The American plan is insulting, so insulting it can't be serious.  I conclude Trump buys time.  Trump wants more dead Americans.  There is too much in it for him to TACO out on this mess so soon. 

Trump wants to make a big splash in history.  A blood splash.  It is a psychological thing for him.  Daddy was sparing in his love of baby Trump and baby Trump was broken.  Now baby Trump breaks other people and as baby Trump nears the end of his life he wants Great Man status.  A war with Iran, which has already displaced millions and hit nearly 20,000 Iranian residential units, is an event that guarantees a spot in the history books.  The human cost is high, but Trump don't care about that shit.  Daddy made sure of that, and Trump is an evil fuck.  Making other people be unalive makes Trump feel real big.   

Is he in to deep?  A stupid question considering Trump has dementia, but Trump has never been in this situation before.  No muscle to call to do a job for him, and fix things in a way nobody talks about.  A high priced lawyer can't do dick here.  This swamp is bigger than any swamp Trump has ever played in before.  Trump thinks of himself as the king of the swamp, and this time the universe might tell him that he is not Swamp King.


So how much do you want to share his pain ?

Once Trump said:


QuoteI could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters


Now Trump doesn't need voters.  Trump has the military doing his bidding now.
