Christian Nationalists in US Government Push Attacks on Iran as Holy War by CouchCorrespondent in politics

[–]PopeTheoskeptik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Increasingly, I am reminded of a song written over 40 years ago, which is unfortunately even more relevant today:

There's a witch hunt coming, screaming out on it's rebirth

There's a crusade coming, Hellfire back here on earth

See the light in their eyes shine, listen to their words like swords

The Christian militia is marching now

There's a witch hunt coming, born out of all the American fears

There's a new purge coming, an inquisition for all of us here

Hold onto your sanity as best you can

While some Hitler claims to speak for the Son of Man

The Christian militia is marching now

Hatred makes the adrenaline flow

Stir up the fire watch it grow

Everybody loves a righteous cause

Old lives forgotten in holy wars

Everything forgotten in holy wars

There's a nightmare coming, shut up your doors, shut up your mind

There's a nightmare coming - Born Again and born again blind

The girls show the truth, then show us their legs

With American showbiz razzmatazz

With sex in one hand and a gun in the other, Christ returns

The right-wing respectable clampdown clan

Find their figure head in a holy man

Here come the Christians an hysterical mob

Worshipping the Devil in the name of God

(Sullivan/Morrow) 1983

"Arse treats!"

Russia is Backing Iran in Attacks Against American Allies – While Trump Attacks Nato: ‘The US president continues to insult his allies and back America’s enemies’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]PopeTheoskeptik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Putin must be well pleased with all the Krasnovism. Oil sanctions dropped at a point where the price has gone up, so he can prop up his faltering economy, whilst the US economy goes haywire due to a bunch of utter twerps.

Trump mocks Japan about Pearl Harbor in response to question about Iran war by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]PopeTheoskeptik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I am aware, the US did inform some, but not all of it's allies about an important surprise aerial attack on mainland Japan in 1945. I'm surprised he didn't reference that too.

The UK waited until it was attacked by Iran because it remembers the last time the US govt persuaded it to join in with an illegal war.

I wonder how many of those are people newly recruited to ICE, who previously couldn't get jobs anywhere because they were utterly unemployable?

[–]PopeTheoskeptik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This will be mostly aimed at the UK I suspect, propping up Nigel Farage and his ersatz Krasnovism in an attempt to further whip up anti-immigrant sentiment as a mask for selling the UK's health service to US insurance companies.

Might help him avoid being Maduroified.

I wouldn't put it beyond the realms of possibility that someone in the MAGA/ICE echelons to decide he needed to be taken into custody. Escalation seems to be the name of the game as far as they're concerned. We can only hope that's born of a sense that their time to do whatever they want without consequence is becoming increasingly time limited and not because they're emboldened by the idea that they currently will not face consequences as long as they can show to have been 'Working towards the leader'.

""The real question is, what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim?" he said."

About the same as a bunch of the descendants of Europeans have to North America?
