-By the way, to underline how the US cares *zero* about democracy in Iran, remember that the the first US-backed coup in Iran (1953) was against Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was democratically elected and widely popular.

-All this under a narrative of bringing "freedom" and "democracy". You can't make it up.

-Their ostensible objective is to (re)install a monarchy that will function as a puppet regime of the US, run by Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former dictator (himself installed and backed by the US) who was known for brutal political repression, including torturing and executing political opponents

-The US wants to do to Iran what it did to Iraq, Libya and Syria: totally destroy any semblance of sovereignty, destroy the country's industrial capacity, and create chaos and civil war.

It wants to destroy the Iranian government because Iran insists on sovereignty and refuses to accept US/Israeli hegemony in the region.

-It is crucial to remember that the US does not care about the people of Iran, any more than it cares about the people of Palestine. The US does not care about democracy, or human rights.

-This has been an objective of the US and Israel for many years. Irrespective of popular sentiment in Iran, we are watching a planned regime-change operation unfolding.

-It is very likely that the US and Israel will seek to use the protests, and the massive Western media story that has been whipped up around it, to manufacture consent for a US/Israel military invasion and coup.

-Early on, Trump was very quick to announce that the US was planning to attack the country if the government cracked down on rioters.

-US officials and Israeli outlets have confirmed that Mossad agents are active among the protestors, presumably to generate anti-government riots. Reports also indicate that individuals among the rioters are armed and shooting/killing police.

-The unrest in Iran started because merchants were suffering due to the sanctions, which have caused the exchange rate to deteriorate. Merchants closed their shops and protested the economic conditions.

-The US sanctions against Iran are specifically designed, by admission of US officials, to cause mass misery and social discontent to the point of instigating protests. This is a well-worn playbook for US regime-change operations.

Remember, the US and Israel are trying to do regime change in Iran in the name of "democracy" and "freedom", in order to install a puppet monarchy, totally subordinated to the US and Israel, run by the son of a dictator known for brutal political repression.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa?

Here I argue that equating China’s activities in Africa to Western colonialism/imperialism is not only empirically incorrect, it trivialises the extraordinary violence of the latter. It is a form of denialism.

"Nothing that China has done in Africa comes anywhere close to any of this. The moral and material difference is vast. China does not maintain military occupations in Africa. It does not perform regime-change operations, assassinations and coups. It does not control African currencies.

It does not impose sanctions or structural adjustment programmes on African economies. China has not perpetrated genocide in Africa. It has never invaded an African country.

Indeed, China has not invaded any country anywhere in the past 46 years. During this same period, we have watched Western states invade and bomb a long list of global South countries, with spectacular violence, including seven countries in 2025 alone."

Συμπληρώνονται σήμερα 82 χρόνια από τη μέρα που ο Πειραιάς υπέστη το μεγαλύτερο πλήγμα στη σύγχρονη ιστορία του. Ο καταστροφικός βομβαρδισμός της 11ης Ιανουαρίου 1944 από ΣΥΜΜΑΧΙΚΑ(Αγγλοι Αμερικανοι) αεροσκάφη, άφησε πίσω του 5500 νεκρούς.
