So this is the justification for going into Iran

People keep saying "retaliation against Iran" but Iran say they had no involvement. Reporters directly asked the White House spox what evidence they had and after mumbling for a bit she admitted they had none.

Then she rambled on for a bit more how how terrible Iran was and it was just the sort of thing nasty people like them would do. But they have no actual intelligence.
Ah, but they (the dastardly Iranians) trained and possibly even armed the nasty so and so's who DID do the attack!


Good job us or the USA don't / didn't do stuff like that, or else all sorts of folks would say WE should be attacked

Oh.....hang on..........


It's the old "one mans terrorist" thing see...........If Iran had bombed some mob WE did not like, then we and the USA would be calling them brave freedom fighters or whatever, just like some of the headchoppers and killers employed / financed / armed over the years to do the regime change / dirty work / arm's length stuff by both the the West and Russia.

There was a great scene in Sicario where Benicio Del Torro kills the Cartel leader and his family, but before he dies the Cartel leader says;

"You think the people that send you here are any different from us? ................Who do you think we learned from"?

That’s a perfect example of the lack of news coverage on mainstream news ,you never hear about BRICS ,you will hear what colour Taylor Swifts knickers are it’s laughable
We are entering into a very worrying times and yes if they had let Putin join the G8 we wouldn’t
What Russia has done to the Ukraine is totally wrong but they did keep poking the bear,you would think we would have evolved from all this nothing has been learnt from all the wars we have had ,it’s a real shame the world hasn’t learnt anything and the average Joe is the one loosing his legs having to live with disability for the rest of there life’s
The way we pulled out of Afghanistan was disgusting leaving them basically in the shit ,educating young girls who then have all their rights taken of them
Ive been watching this BRICS thing gaining momentum and it’s such a clever way to weaken the US, to bring it’s regime down a few pegs.

I’m not into the full workings of it but it looks like more and more countries are joining it, it’s not military just financial I believe but friendships are forged through talking and trade, if we are not careful we could become isolated as there’s already sanctions on UK goods by some countries I hear
The MSM just doesn't seem to be covering the BRICS news in proportion with it's importance to us.

Just type 'BRICS' into your search engine and then select the 'news' filter option, some of the news stories from fairly legitimate foreign news outlets about the goals/objectives of the BRICS are very concerning.

The next thing is they will stop paying for oil in dollars which will really affect the US
The was talk about trying to use the euro but that didn’t happen
I think from what I have heard is American wouldn’t be the super power they are if oil was not bought in dollars???????
Apparently Russia, India and China stopped trading oil in dollars quite a few months ago and have saved themselves about $17 billion in charges from using the US dollar for trading.

De-dollarisation is one of the main goals of the BRICS, demand for US Bonds has fallen plus there is talk about a gold standard and BRICS currency, possibly crypto.

Ghaddafi anybody, no-one cared while he was buying our stuff, but then he made a fatal error;


"The UK supplied Gaddafi with £161 million worth of arms sales in the decade preceding the uprising (between 2000- 2010). Furthermore, the UK armed and trained an elite Libyan army brigade named after and commanded by Gaddafi’s son Khamis, responsible for a massacre of prisoners in August 2011."

Lots of stories abound about the reasons he had to die, the gold ting keeps on coming back, no idea of the actual truth of the matter but the web is full of;

With AI having advanced in leaps and bounds, how long will it be before we will be unable to discern
what is true, or lies, coming through our communications media?
I'm sure we are already there, which makes it even more critical to question everything, and to try to get hands on info from sources without an AI budget.

You can’t believe much of anything anymore
My father told me decades ago, do not even believe the date on a newspaper.

Yes it appears most of the world want to escape the current world order, and the conflict in the Ukraine and Israel is just rapidly accelerating the consolidation and strengthening of the BRICS.

The elite in the US and UK just seem to want to keep on using our countries for screwing the rest of the world until the very end, then they'll probably cut their losses and flee with the money.

Trump seems to recognise the problem with the BRICS and wants to stop the conflict and return to a peaceful yet tough business environment with the rest of the world.
 
Thing's will even out , once the elites have convinced our children/grandchildren that getting a chip inserted into their heads will make life soo much easier.

Personally, I prefer the idea of Armageddon, but I don't have much ( relatively ) time left, so the future belongs to them, ( the young ) it's theirs to shape, we ( I ) can only attempt to influence.

Off to the Museum today with my children.
Ah, the good old day's 🙃.
 
True or false? In the week I read that Elon Musk's organisation has planted a computer chip in a human brain and said human can now control certain computer operations by thought and 'if' that is the case how long do you think it will be before we can control humans via implants?

Reminds me, just a little, of an old sci-fi movie; in which extra terestials used humans to do their bidding via implants.
 
On the subject of AI,imagine if let’s say in 10 years and AI is much more advanced and someone asks AI how can we save the planet,the AI will quickly work out kill all humans and that would save the planet
It really is concerning

It's our children and grand children who will pay the price for our bad behaviour, past and present.

We all know there are many members of the BRICS with 'scores to settle' going back several centuries.

Before the West looses our dominance of the world, it is in our descendants best interests if we work with the BRICS to establish a framework for a more peaceful world.
 
Ah, the good old day's 🙃.

Ah, two tin cans and a piece of string, top and whip, and a bit of chalk for marking out the hopscotch pattern.

Oh, and the stories about Korea in Dad's Daily Herald!

Not forgetting smallpox, polio, scarlet fever, and a whole host of other nasties.

In an ideal world of course but you have forgotten the west’s principles of profit over peace
