That is you Trump and that means Tweet Tweet should be off limits to the ill informed and or ill advised…
Again US Neocon actions put us on the brink of war:
Trump has proven that he is walking the Neocon line, but still, like a roller coaster going up and down the track. I do not see Trump as being a strong leader, what I see is he has more than one puppet master and that is where the roller coaster ride comes from…
This time Trump almost Tweeted us into a War! (After attacking Iran in Iraq under false pretenses!) Then we turned 180 and Trump said, “All is well!”
Hey it is just a joke you know? ~~
Now I do not look at all this as, “Cooler heads prevailed! War averted…”
I look at this like, “Why the hell did we start all the crap in the first place?” and then “We never should have been put in this situation to have to avert a war!”
Regardless; Thank God we backed down!
Then Iran gave a subtle message to the USA…
Trump had previously promised a massive retaliation should Iran attack any US personnel or facilities. Surrounded by his national security team, Trump had to back down from that threat, knowing full well that if he were to attack Iran, the Iranian response would be devastating for both the US and its regional allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The US might be able to inflict unimaginable devastation on Iran, but the cost paid would be unacceptably high.
With this small actually insignificant flight of Iranian missiles, we found out that American missile defense systems don’t work. Period, they do not work against Iran missiles. Iran just proved that to the world…
The main thing is Iran seriously demonstrated advanced abilities despite decades of crippling sanctions by the US, has the courage to confront the US and the Iranian government has solid popular support…
Again: It is the US that is isolating itself with her actions as a bully in the world sandbox…
What this situation told the US military is that Iran has the ability to launch missiles at US targets and the US can’t do anything to intercept them. If Iran had not given warning? Well that is why we backed away again, after starting crap again, with another country…
Then to make my case; we just today added more sanctions upon Iran….starting more and more crap against other countries…
Yes we are isolating ourselves, as we sanction the world…
WtR
PS: I want you to realize that this does not mean it will not start again all over. It means for a few hours we have back off. People like me and even many countries have voiced their opinion that what has happened is a bad thing. We have to keep the pressure on, for if we do not and we act like nothing illegal happened, we will find ourselves in a war to end wars…
Now get ready for the next crappy thing to start up. What a way to start a New Year of 2020!
What we did to Iran by killing their General Qasem Soleimani in a illegal set up situation, in Iraq, was never going to be left alone in Iran’s eyes. They waited, had their funeral as per customs in Iran and when done, they attacked. Military installations in Iraq that belong to the USA…
TEHRAN, January 8. /TASS/. The Iranian military delivered another round of missile attacks targeting US military facilities, Tasnim news agency reported. The agency did not specify the exact locations of the new wave of attacks reporting only that they were carried out with the use of missiles.
Israel has been named as an accessory and Israel is the target against which the retaliation of starting a war with Iran will be ended. We do know that Israel is behind the instigation of said attack against Iran in the first place…
TEHRAN, January 8. /TASS/. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) call Israel an accomplice of the United States in the assassination of ex-commander of IRGC Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani, Fars News Agency reported on Wednesday. “Within the frames of this crime [Soleimani’s assassination] we in no way view Israel separately from the United States,” Fars reported citing a statement from IRGC.
The US and Israel have been severely compromised in their Intel and or just did not care to check the facts. But assassinating General Qasem Soleimani, a man who is loved by Iranians deeply and a man who is the biggest factor in removing ISIS from Syria. Again ISIS is a US construct….We have congealed the Iranians as one…
If we want 100,000 + missiles to rain on Israel then I guess we will attack Iran back for hitting our illegal military bases in Iraq? We are in Iraq illegally as we are sitting in Syria illegally. In both countries we have built military bases against the countries wishes. Hell in Iraq we built the Mother of all Embassies!
The USA has lost no matter what, its just a question how much good money and moral standing we want to flush away after all the illegal actions we have been doing. Just because you are big enough to beat the little guy up does not make you right!
Iran will launch everything they have at Israel if we try to attack them. There is no missile defense that will come anywhere near being able to stop the onslaught. Israel will be gone. Iran maybe gone also, but in this case they will take Israel with them. I promise you…
Iran holds all the cards, they responded the only way they could, launch a few older missiles, then say don’t retaliate or we expand this to Dubai, Israel as far as their missiles carry. They know we (US) can level the Iran country flat, they understand that and they also know that America is alone in this. We have all heard the bellyaching by the US about how the EU and even NATO are not giving it the, “Rah Rah go America attitude”…
Not to mention Russia and China is in their corner, especially after how Trump has treated China and Russia. Russia and China know that they are next. Plus Europe who much of the US illegal under the table type activity has also been directed at, will work to get the USA out of Middle East forever…
This situation has stared at all of us as we look in the mirror, for our whole lives actually, but my vote and comments never mattered to anyone and I could not stop the chaotic situation that the US seems hell bent on traveling. Just like a drunk who will not let anyone take his keys away…
I wish I had a magic wand, but I don’t and I will say as I have in one form and or another, a thousand thousand times on this blog…
America please just stop the shenanigans and allow the world to heal and get on with life. Please pull our men and women back to families and take care of America first at home…
It is all I can do. I have to say it on this blog. I have to say something or else not be able to live with myself. It does not matter who is right and who is wrong, for all are wrong when it comes to war. Just go home and hug the family people…

America did ask for this war against Iran, whether we want it our not…
Oops:
A Ukrainian Boeing 737 with 176 passengers and crew on board has crashed after taking off from Iran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran due to technical issues, Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday morning. The airport has confirmed the crash to Sputnik.
“The initial Iranian response to the assassination of the martyred commander Soleimani has happened. Now it is time for the initial response to the assassination of the martyred commander Muhandis. And because Iraqis are brave and zealous, their response will not be any less than that of Iran’s. That is a promise”, al-Khazali was quoted as saying.
Another letter: (Remember Iraq received one.)
Kuwaiti Defence Minister Ahmad Mansour Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has stated that he received a letter from the commander of the US Arifjan military camp situated in the country announcing the “imminent withdrawal of all US military forces in three days”, state news agency KUNA reported.
The customers in Globus could be counted on one hand. I had a good breakfast and picked up some groceries for the home front. I also met and said good morning to a cop that recognized me as he walked to work this morning and that triggered this post mainly…
Two nights ago I was on one of my long evening walks and found myself in the middle of three cops trying to arrest a guy who was very strung out on drugs. Not alcohol but drugs. It was easy to tell. he was flying higher than a kite…
I had walked around a van and saw a guy break loose from the cops as they tried to get him under control. He ran straight at me and I sidestepped and clotheslined him at chest level so not to kill him. It was actual much more a instinct response and not a response that I thought about. But, he dropped like a wet noodle and screamed bloody murder…
I just pointed at him and kept walking. The young guy I saw this morning was one of the cops and he is the first who responded to handcuff the guy. I heard a thank you (Spasibo) and I wordlessly disappeared to our home…
Being an American, I had no desire to get involved and beat a trail home. Good or bad better to not draw anymore attention to yourself in the world. But…
I was remembered and he smiled at me and said, “Dobroye Utro” and I told him the same…
Wonder what he would think if he realized I was an American?
But back to Christmas morning:
I got near the big church on the main highway and lines of people already walking to the church. That explains why I was almost alone in Globus. It is the Real Christmas. You know?
The snow was falling and it is about -4 degrees. It was a beautiful morning and very soft feeling temperature wise. It made for a good walk and when hardly anyone is around, it allows me to stop and study things easily. Many days there are so many people it is all you can do just to keep from getting run over. Today though, I could really look around and I liked that…
One thing that has stood out is 5G towers everywhere. I have been wondering why they have been installing so many new cell towers. They are everywhere. This morning it hit me….5G is going full tilt in Moscow, Russia and they have been installing the system for several years as I have seen walking around. Duh…
Sveta is at the grandkids for these last days of the winter holidays and I hope she comes home tomorrow. I miss my sweetpea…
Time to go and get caught up on what the world is doing!
Nowadays, more than a third (39 per cent) of the world’s Christians live in Russia – with around 85 per cent of them choosing to celebrate Christmas in January.
Some Orthodox countries – including Greece, Cyprus and Romania – adopted a revised Julian calendar in 1923, and now celebrate with us on December 25.
Those that celebrate in January include Orthodox Christians in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Egypt and Bulgaria. Serbia, Belarus, Montenegro, Kazakhstan, Macedonia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Georgia and Moldova also all stick to the traditional Orthodox date meaning they are also celebrating today.
Maybe we should be more concerned about Australia and a bunch less about Iran! Another image of what is and has happened… I guess it is true!
Damn country is on fire…
You wanna imagine if Europe and or America was burning like that. Australia is not heavily populated, but if this was America, the whole east coast would be in flames, Canada would be in flames also and the Mexico border would be gone…
I was flabbergasted when I focused on what is happening down there…
In the resolution adopted at the emergency session of Iraq’s Council of Representatives, the lawmakers said the “government must work to end the presence of any foreign troops in the republic and to cancel work under the security agreement with the international anti-terrorism coalition.” The resolution says, in particular, that “the government must take practical steps to ban any foreign troop presence, to prohibit them from using the country’s airspace and to revoke the request for assistance from the
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it,” he told reporters.
“The prime minister is the acting prime minister…he’s under enormous threats from the very Iranian leadership that we are pushing back against,” Pompeo said. “We’re confident the Iraqi people want the United States to continue to be there.”
Iraq will need help from many other countries support to get the US to leave. The US invaded many years ago and will not leave without a fight….Iran and Iraq both need serious countries to band together and help them. The time is right to end the reign of terror that the USA Government has been slapping a good portion of the world with since starting illegal wars over terrorism….What happened recently with Iran and the assassination of Qasem Soleimani is naught but a one of tens of thousands of illegal actions that the US has endowed upon the world…
Therefore, Russia, China, The EU and many more need to stand united for once and tell the USA to quietly leave Iraq and Iran alone, plus stop the disinformation against half the world…
Except you and I both know that the US could careless what anyone else thinks and that is a big issue!
Russia and China have been very quiet. I am wondering what they are up to? Now the Chinese and Russian forums are gossiping like old babushkas on a front yard bench sitting session….but the Kremlin and PRC are silent for the most part…
Just some things I am digging up through friends and such. Starts with info from @syriankhabar and ends with info from Trump still Tweeting and making huge threats. Twitter is not the place to conduct negotiations, but it is the place to destroy relationships…
My suggestion to Iran is not threaten the “Rabid Tweeter in Chief” called Trump…
🔸محتوای پیام ایران به طرف آمریکایی داده به گونهای بوده که مقامات آمریکایی را دچار وحشت شدیدی کرده است. هر چند هنوز از ابعاد این پیام اطلاعی ندارم اما به نظر میرسد آمریکاییها به شکل کامل اعتماد بنفس خود را از دست دادهاند، خبرهایی که به وسیله واسطهها به سمت تهران در طول ساعتهای گذشته به گوش رسیده بیانگر آن است که مقامات کاخ سفید پس از این اشتباه راهبردی، هر کسی که فکر میکنند با ایران کوچکترین ارتباطی داشته و دارد و می تواند به مقامات ایرانی دسترسی داشته باشد متوسل شدند تا پاسخی که قرار است دریافت کنند در همان ابعاد و نه بیشتر باشد!!
🔸اما اگر قرار است ابعاد این پاسخ مشخص گردد باید رئیس ستاد مشترک، فرمانده نیروی دریایی و هوایی و بالاتر از آن شخص ترامپ که دستور این ترور را صادر کرده است کشته شوند تا با هم برابر شویم (البته که باز هم نخواهیم شد) و این چیزی است که آمریکاییها خودشان بهتر می دانند. وزیر امور خارجه آمریکا در طول ساعتهای گذشته به همراه سایر مقامات این کشور یک نبرد رسانهای را شروع کردند تا به زعم خود تصمیم مقامات ایران را تحت تاثیر قرار دهند!! ولی آنچه به عنوان پیام سفارت سوئیس از طرف ایرانیها برای آنها فرستاد تمام برآوردهای آنها را نقش بر آب کرد.
🔸دونالد ترامپ که در سیاست خارجی خودش به بنبست خورده بود و کنگره او را به جرم خیانت فراخوانده بود تا محاکمه اش کند، از سوی دیگر در آستانه انتخابات نمی دانست باید چگونه صحنه بازی را عوض کند دست یک قمار خطرناک زد، این قمار آن اندازه خطرناک بوده که در آمریکا هیچکس حاضر به پذیرش مسئولیت آن نیست و ترامپ تحت فشار سیاسیون مخالف خود ناچار شده شخصاً مسئولیت این اقدام جنون آمیز را برعهده بگیرد. ترامپ یک قمار را شروع کرده که سعی می کند با تهدید و فشار و همچنین التماس و رایزنی و حتا با دادن امتیازهای مختلف از آن فرار کند. خودش بهتر میداند که آنچه درباره مذاکره و گفتوگو با ایران میگوید جز تحقیر بیش از پیش خودش نیست.
🔸هنوز از متن مذاکرات وزیر خارجه آمریکا با همتای روسی خبری منتشر نشده اما او در گفتگویی با رئیس جمهور مفلوک عراق گفته که خواستار افزایش تنش نیست! و عراق نباید محلی برای تنش آفرینی باشد!! این اقدامات مقامات مختلف آمریکایی که شامل پمپئو، برایان هوک مارک اسپ و حتی سناتورهای نفتخواری مانند لیندزی گراهام می شود، در واقع تهدید ناشی از ترس را نشان می دهد. لیندزی گراهام وقتی سهمیه اش از نفت سوریه را گرفت، اینگونه طرفدار ترامپ شده است. منافعی او در چاههای نفت سوریه و عراق دارد که بعدها مشخص خواهد شد که چه پیمانکارانی وابسته به این جانور بی شاخ و دم هستند.
🔸در کاخ سفید همه از وحشت احتمالی هدف قرار گرفتن یکی از پایگاه های این کشور در عراق که صدها نظامی در آن به سر میبرند توسط موشکهای زمین به زمین ایران خواب راحت ندارند. آنها به خوبی می دانند که اگر همزمان یکصد فروند موشک به این پایگاهها اصابت کند هیچ چیزی از آن باقی نخواهد ماند و تلفاتی که به نظامیان آمریکایی وارد خواهد شد همه به پای حماقت ترامپ نوشته می شود. بنابراین بادام با گفتن این واژه که دنبال جنگ نیست و می خواسته با این اقدام جلوی جنگ را بگیرد در حقیقت دارد کلاه سر خودش می گذارد.

Content of Iran’s painful message to America
The content of Iran’s message to the US has been so intense that it has frightened American officials. Although I am not aware of the magnitude of the message yet, Americans seem to have completely lost their confidence in themselves, the news that has been heard by the intermediaries in Tehran over the past few hours indicates that White House officials have since this strategically mistake, asking anyone who has the slightest connection to Iran and can reach out to Iranian officials to ask Iran to respond their aggression in the same dimension and no more !!
But if the magnitude of this response is to be determined, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Navy and Air Commander and even Trump who ordered the assassination must be killed in order to equalize the crime(of course it won’t) and This is what Americans know better. During the past few hours, the US Secretary of State, along with other officials in the country, has launched an infowar to influence the decision of the Iranian authorities! But the message that Iran sent back via the Swiss embassy to the American government undermined all Trump gang’s plot.
Donald Trump, who had been stalled in his foreign policy and had been convicted of treason by Congress, that the Congress is trying to prosecute him, did not know how to change the game on the eve of the election and risked playing a dangerous gamble. It is so dangerous that no one in America is willing to accept responsibility, and Trump, under the pressure of his opposition, has been forced to personally take responsibility for this heinous act. Trump has started a gamble that tries to escape with threats and pressure, as well as begging and consulting, even by offering concessions. He knows that what he says about negotiating with Iran is nothing more than humiliating himself.
The US Secretary of State’s talks with his Russian counterpart have not yet been released, but he has said in an interview with the beleaguered Iraqi president that he does not want tensions to rise! And Iraq should not be a place for tension! The actions of various US officials, including Pompeo, Brian Hook Mark Spar, and even oil senators such as Lindsay Graham, actually show the extent of fear. Lindsey Graham has become a pro-Trump when he took his quota of Syrian oil. His interests in the oil fields of Syria and Iraq will later determine which contractors are connected to this hornless and tailless beast(Graham).
In the White House, everyone is scared of the potential target bases in Iraq, where hundreds of troops are stationed. They know very well that if one hundred missiles hit these bases at the same time, nothing will be left behind, and the casualties that will be inflicted on American troops will all be attributed to Trump’s stupidity. So, by saying the word that he was not seeking war and wanted to stop the war by doing so, he was actually fooling himself

🔳ترس و وحشت در سخنرانی ترامپ
پیام قدرتمندانه ایران اینگونه صدای رئیسجمهور آمریکا را لرزش واداشت… ترامپ چهار دقیقه و ۱۱ ثانیه در مورد دستور ترور سپهبد سلیمانی و سایر همراهانش صحبت کرد و در تمام طول این ۴ دقیقه نتوانست بر اعصابش مسلط باشد و صدایش نلرزد. خوب گوش کنید که چگونه پیام ایران زنگها را در کاخ سفید به صدا درآورده است. به زودی برای شما خواهم نوشت ایران چه پیامی به آمریکاییها داده که اینگونه به هم ریخته اند.
نه خبری از سر تکان دادن ترامپ است و نه خبری از شانه تکان دادن و نه خبری از بستن چشمان و سر بالا گرفتن هنگام سخنرانی. ترامپ تازه فهمیده بلانسبت چه …. خورده است.

Fear and fury in Trump’s speech
Iran’s powerful message shook the voice of the American president in such a way … Trump spoke for four minutes and 2 seconds about the assassination of Lieutenant General Soleimani and his companions, and he could not control his nerves all this time. Listen well to how Iran’s message has sounded the bells at the White House. Soon, I will write to you what kind of message Iran has given to the Americans who have messed up like this.
There is no shaking of Trump’s head, no shaking of his shoulder, no closing eyes and a high-pitched speech. Trump has just figured out what he ate.

Now our Commander and Tweeter is on Twitter and Twitting (threatening) away…
….targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
Maybe and I just think maybe, it would be a good idea to put Trump and his twitter fingers off of Twitter? Children need to be grounded once in awhile and this is a good time….unless we really badly desire and need that, “War with Iran”…
He already started that War with Iran, now he is egging it on…
I think Trump and his Neocons have done enough for today!

Tidbit and Interesting: Trump accused Obama of wanting to do a war with Iran…
So maybe, just maybe Trump is doing what he accused Obama of?
Nah Trump would not do that, just like Obama would not do that, just like Bush would not do that…
Now we are lying through our teeth to act like this was a good thing. Is it? Not in my book…
This video of Senator Graham says it all and it is nothing but flagrant lies, well except the part about his desires to attack Iran and destroy and destroy and that means kill Iranians young and old. We have already started evacuating Americans from Iraq, because we acted the fool. As always with War, our media is complaisant…
Blow Back is never fun and it is never right away. No one has anything to loose when they wait and watch to see when you let your guard down and yes, America will let its guard down..
Even an empire cannot control the long-term effects of its policies. That is the essence of blowback.

Being that America is very divided about literally all subjects. They are divided about this also. Some dance in the streets and others look over their shoulder to find if the boogeyman is watching…
And that my readers is our future. We have started another war all based on lies and more lies…
I suspect Iran will take its time and carefully plan a reciprocation options, and that response may not be clear and unambiguous, and it might be multifaceted and done over staggered periods of time. Right now they are in mourning….and they are now very united!
The USA just tried real hard to start a war with Iran and they might have just succeeded….
Are you ready?
Breaking News: The U.S. confirmed it was behind the strike that killed the powerful Iranian commander Qassim Suleimani, a major escalation in a conflict with Iran https://t.co/NzSYmTMsZ6
So we did it! We assassinated the number two Iranian official while in Iraq, as he was an invited guest!
Right now the way I see it; many, too many Americans are cheerleading and desiring a war with Iran & are dancing over their own and over your children’s graves…
Commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, was killed by the rocket fire near the Baghdad International Airport, Al Arabiya and Sky News broadcasters reported on Friday. The United States carried out on Friday strikes on two Iran-linked targets in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, the Reuters news agency reported, citing unnamed US officials.
Mahdi and Soleimani were in Iraq to negotiate with the Americans. The US knew where they were. It was a coward and cold blooded calculated act of ambush to provoke Iran…
Now that is what I call opening a can of worms and you will not get the lid back on very easily…
Never go full retard…
And that my friends is exactly what America just did!

I guess this Tweet says it about as good as it gets and at least someone sees the truth:
Worried for our city + our nation. Without the approval of Congress, the US Government effectively declared war on Iran tonight. The American people had no say in the matter, despite voting time + again to stop endless wars + bring our troops home. This one will not end soon.
Took Sveta to the train station and she will go spend the next few days with her mother. I encourage her to go see her mother as often as she can. When you start on the road to almost 90 years old. Family needs to check in and be constantly watching to make sure that all is good. Sveta’s mother is doing great and I want Sveta to spend as much time as she can with her….it is important when you got a good mom who worked all her life to raise a good girl…
Sveta’s mother’s husband and Sveta’s dad died when Sveta was very young and it was up to her mom to be dad and mother at the same time…
Okay scratching my back is something good to ask for!
Not many can say that their mother in-law is wonderful and I can say that…
If you got a mom who is special, give her a hug today…
It is snowing like crazy and I had a perfect walk. Went to Globus, ate breakfast, grabbed some groceries and walked in a winter wonderland…
