Representative Mike Johnson vowed to support the wars in Ukraine and Israel in an interview after becoming House Speaker. The Congressman told Sean Hannity that China, Russia, and Iran make up an “axis of evil” that poses a huge threat to the US.
The Speaker presented Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran as a trilateral threat to Washington. “Big priorities in this moment right now. We have Israel being attacked, we have unrest, we have the Ukraine situation we’ve got to deal with, we have China being aggressive, we have Iran with all the meddling, and China, Russia, and Iran working together. This is a dangerous time.” he said.
“Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran, and they’re tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That’s how we see it, “Johnson continued, the states posed a “huge [threat to the US.] It’s it’s the biggest threat since World War II.”
On Ukraine, Johnson stated that the support for Ukraine must continue. “Now we can’t allow Vladimir Putin to Prevail in Ukraine because I don’t believe it would stop there,” he said. “And it would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan. We have these concerns. We’re not going to abandon them.”
The Speaker noted he would like to see more oversight over additional aid but did not say it was a requirement to pass a multi-billion assistance bill for Ukraine.
Johnson explained that he does support the White House’s proposed $105 billion bill that would fund the War in Ukraine, Israel’s war on Gaza, fund Washington’s military buildup in the Pacific, and provide funds to increase security at the southern border. The Speaker said the consensus among House Republicans is to split the funding into different bills.
As well as supporting future aid for Ukraine, the Speaker is willing to send American soldiers to the Middle East in defense of Israel. “Watching it very closely, one thing that House Republicans are resolved on is that we must stand with our most important Ally in the Middle East, and that’s Israel.” He added, “I hope that it doesn’t come to boots on the ground.”

The republicans must have been really tired of bickering to agree to this fucking nightmare.
You’ve got to be effing kidding me?! Imagine my shock?!
I have no wish to sound repetitive but….
Yes … it’s not easy to be this dumb …
The gospel according to Johnson; “Iran, Russia and China… I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That’s how we see it..” This goofy dude is as isolated from intelligent people as the US from the rest of the world.
Intelligent people avoid becoming boots on the ground for war mongers scrounging under the table bribes. The US government has a new speaker who is barely able to speak.
McConnell was no Obama or FDR
As bad as the Israelis are, they still don’t bring my piss to a boil like these traitors who place the whims of a foreign country over the needs of the people who elected them. Luckily the folks bribing them provide a convenient list so you know who to vote against next November https://candidates.aipacpac.org/page/featured/
Thanks, Argon. It prob can be safely said, to state the obvious, that all of these congressional cretins are owned by Israel.
I saw a brief report that that is the reason Johnson got all of the repug votes, israel/aipac sent down orders.
Which begs the question that runs through my mind: why are all the congressmen/women so d*mned afraid of Israel and AIPAC. For Christ Sake, we have the power of the purse.
MY sense is that if any of these “profiles in cowardice” would step out of line, they would be primaried, opponent funded by aipac/israel, and that would be the end of the gravy train unless they could sqirm their way into a “think tank” or on the board of the MIC>
Fine, but how did Ukraine and China get on the list? And who said we had to get George W Bush “axis of evil” verbiage back again? Answer: It’s a moot issue. The US is a military dictatorship.
If you consider the number of Police in our cities and rural countys I would not argue the point. If the Socialists arise there will be blood.We already know how they treat minorities and people of color
The problem is, and I have discussed this with my retired military brother is that I believe if push comes to shove, the police and military will back the government, not the people as they know who ‘butters their bread’. I believe he’s coming around to believe the same.
Play to their innate sense of honor as police officers and soldiers. Their oath was to uphold & defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC (emphatic shout mine).
They hold no greater allegiance, to any man elected or appointed.
That’s the way it should be, but if you look at how the F.B.I. and other law enforcement agencies have been politicized, I would have to say that it appears their allegiance is to the Government. Obama removed most of the conservative military higher ups and replaced them with people like Milley and others who seem to have their allegiance to the Feds.
You took my point just I wished. Things could get really draconian if things break wrong and Fascism becomes more prevalent.
No doubt about that.
Yes, and if you point out the fact that we have so many Jewish people in positions of power with ties to Israel, then you become anti-semitic. F.Em, let them think what they will.
I looked at the list. And I saw the smug face that I voted against during the last election.
Don’t know why I omitted his name.
Jack Bergman from Michigan. An ex-general. Yeah, one of them.
belief that voting works is your biggest mistake.
Maybe it does.. Maybe this is the actual reflection of who we are as a people.
God forgive us.
If it’s consolation…I don’t think the US government represents the will or ethics of the American people any more than I think the governments of Israel, Ukraine, Belarus, DPRK, or the RF represents that of their people.
there is no god and humans are actually the bottom of the life chain.
If voting did anything good it would be illegal. that day may be coming soon.
its been a scam for decades. its never been good.
That’s my plan and I am sticking with it. Here that all you stinking feds reading this and triangulating my home address as we speak? We’re just planning on voting so you can oink oink on your merry way because that’s not illegal (yet).
Good god. I couldn’t even make it through the list. I am especially taken aback by the Black candidates who are slaves to AIPAC.
Ditto for the ones with Irish surnames. How soon they forgot that their ancestors were victims of brutal occupation and oppression.
Give him enough rope. He won’t be around for long.
But what led them to believe he would be any different than the nutjob that he apparently always has been? And why is Gaetz gloating and calling him MAGA Mike?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Nightmare he is.
or were bribed.
Johnson seems to be changing his tune on Ukraine, letting out his inner hawk in betrayal of some who supported him.
Senator JD Vance expressed his displeasure as follows: “To his great credit, the new Speaker has been a stalwart on the Ukraine issue — voting consistently against an endless conflict with no plan from the Biden administration,” Vance said on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s concerning to see him change his tune so quickly after being elevated to this role.”
( https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4279457-j-d-vance-calls-speaker-johnsons-ukraine-remarks-concerning/ )
Johnson is a fraud – and worse.
Yep. He is a stupid fraud. How much cash has been stuffed in his coat pocket by the MIC?
I am wondering how they turned the tide that caused the dead lock on the Ukraine issue, the very issue that held the deadlock. Easy to see now, he posed as anti Ukraine aid to get the votes and once in switched his position to favor more cash for the blundering clown The house ought to toss him out like they did McCarthy for his secret deal with the Dems, but the prospect of so much cash to “walk around” with is apt to save him from his betrayal. It IS all about the Benjamins in D.C. & not winning an unwinable war on Russia!!!!!!
By jove,a palpable hit.
His thinking is downright Medieval.
In a word, Empire.
In two words, American Empire.
In three words, Anglo* American Empire.
In four words, Anglo* American Israeli Empire.
One, two, Three, four, one cannot understand more.

UK? the EU it about to break apart, once Germany is down it will be the end. NATO is not far behind.
The reason the NS2 pipe line was taken out to keep Germany in it`s place under the heel of the US .
And reduce economic competition, same treatment as Japan got and China is in for it. If the US can’t compete they destroy.
Jeez L,its only been going on for more then 100 years.
Keep the USA in, the Russian Federation out, and the Germans down.
NATO writ simply.
let us hope so and rub your nuts if you have them., If not smoke a joint and bake a cake,preferably Devils Food.
I am back to basics, I bake bread, healthy and so, you know, but a joint is great.
How about special brownies with some chocolate chips
Sounds just as good.
Dope is a good thing if it is bought on the street by non corporate dealers,also I believe a shitload cheaper.
Depends on where you are, where you shop, etc. My wife has her medical marijuana card in Florida and watches for sales. She often gets stuff of known strain/THC level/other cannabinoid levels, etc. for about the same price as she’d pay the friendly neighborhood dealer. That’s mainly important to her because she uses it for pain related to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (she’s been known to dislocate her thumb just by turning the steering wheel on the car), rather than to get high.
Nothing against the guy who just sells a baggie of weed guaranteed to get you off, mind you. But the one advantage of “legal” marijuana is knowing to at least some degree of certainty what you’re getting for specific purposes.
There’s no statute of limitations on murder!
You missed out Americas top LACKEY Britain .
Little known fact the UK economy is on the verge of collapse. IT’s military is a dog with no bite.
In a single symbol: $
B I P A R T I S A N L Y……smh….
It is a constant source of amazement to me how intelligent,literate and sometimes sarcastic our commenters are.The other side is ignorant and pitiful.
Johnson is plagiarist. Straight out of George W. Bush lexicon. Does he have an original thought in is brain?
At least Bush was smart enough to pick small nations with no nuclear weapons. Not 2x superpowers with lots of resources and who actually build stuff. Meanwhile America’s GDP is mostly based on Wall Streets skill in moving money around. Nothing like a well placed financial transaction to sink a Russian sub!
Nonsense! Inexplainable hatred towards America’s “enemies” is what is sinking this nation. Hatred is self-consuming and the whores leading us down the path of military engagements should be put up against a wall and XXXX!
And so is Britain`s economy based on the financial sector in London which is heading for the ABYSS .
I live on the East coast. I don’t want the Russians mad at me. The West Coast can worry about the Chinese and North Koreans.
He does not need it. The invisible hand will take care of that.
“Original thought” leaked out of our brains through the hole in JFK’s head.
Darkly poetic.
Too…soon ?
Maybe the statute is up – next month maybe ?
JFK was a hawk who came to see the light. As a result as another person for peace he had to go.
He WAS! Here’s Jeffery Sachs, who himself was WEF inside and out, explains JFK’s transformation. It was very interesting that he pointed out that Adlai Stevenson (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adlai_Stevenson_II&oldid=1180954154) was the only one in his administration to suggest diplomacy as an alternative to NUCLEAR WAR!!! WE DON”T HAVE ANY ADLAIs IN OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY ANYMORE–NONE!!!!

The number of our elected officials that have sold their ass to the Big business interests as well as AIPAC is astronomical. If this does not change PDQ we are doomed to a crappy or nonexistant future.
Just what we needs a religious zealot , focused on the bible not the constitution.
The neocons behind the curtain are in control, so don’t worry the pigheaded scum is under control.
If he understood the Bible and believed it and loved it and focused on it, he would be great. The problem is that he doesn’t.
“…understood the Bible…”
It’s a small percentage of fanatic religious types who have actually read the bible cover-to-cover.
You know what a LARGE percentage of former religious people, now identifying as atheist, cite as a primary reason for their deconversion ?
They actually read the bible cover-to-cover.
The majority of Brits no longer believe the whats in the bible that`s why churches are all but empty they see religion for what it is all about and that`s CONTROL of the masses with hell fire and brimstone .
If people seek out religion to get them through the day,to ease their suffering,and help make sense of a senseless world-nothing wrong with that.
Yes. But when the a) impose their religious beliefs on others, and/or b) use their religious beliefs to enact major policy decisions affecting many many others, THEN there is A LOT wrong ‘with that’.
Uncle S,you are absolutely 1000% correct.I believe its called separation of Church and State.
Sorry Jake,weed works better.
Well now we know why he was allowed to become speaker.
Johnson is an unabashed Christian Zionist who takes the Bible literally. He believes there will indeed be a “war against Gog and Magog, a biblical conflict prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel. In the Bible, Gog is the leader of Magog, a “place in the far north” that many evangelicals believe is Russia. According to Ezekiel’s prophecy, Gog will join with Persia—now Iran—and other Arab nations to attack a peaceful Israel “like a cloud that covers the land.” – Tim LaHaye
There is so much adorably weird in that LaHaye quote, I dunno where to start.
“…a “place in the far north” that many evangelicals believe is Russia…”
Ahhh, nope. The peoples of 3rd century BCE Judea had s**t-all understanding of the world – to them “far north” likely meant modern day Turkey, if they were aware of there at all.
“…to attack a peaceful Israel.”
Well, good thing a peaceful Israel basically never exists in contemporary times.
Oh, and “biblical prophecy” is complete garbage – none of the so-called “prophecies” meet any strict or moderate definition of an actual, specific, accurate prediction of future events with a single unambiguous match of said event.
50 million US Christian Zionists would beg to differ. They also believe the Earth was created exactly 6025 years ago and the Sun is its planet.
“…exactly 6025 years ago…”
A number reached by a young-Earth creationist who added up the stated ages for characters from the bible, tacked on a few days before Adam, and arrived at a figure disproven by basically every branch of established science we have.
That would be the Ussher chronology.
Ironically, I remember him mentioning that in one of his songs off 2001’s “8701” album.
Actually, the Ussher chronology is a 17th-century chronology of the history of the world formulated from a literal reading of the Old Testament by James Ussher, the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland. (Wikipedia)
Darnit, why are all Thomases on this message board such literalists, ha-ha ?
Yes, thank you – Ussher would be the one to whom I alluded, who gave us that age for the Universe.
To his sect’s credit – at least they recognized that Ussher (and by proxy, all Humans) are primates !
Its all Adams fault,he never should have eaten the apple.That makes as much sense as some of these religious bible thumpers and nut jobs.Only I can fix it.Where did I hear that first?
Adam (for sake of argument, saying he existed) didn’t know why he shouldn’t eat the Fruit. Remember, he wouldn’t have [Knowledge of Good and Evil] until AFTER he ate the Fruit.
It’s a story that makes NO sense if taken literally. And even figuratively, it’s shoddy writing.
I am sorry I should have known that. My parents would not let me have any religious information. Anybody who takes that Best Seller seriously is mentally impaired.
I believe the UK is Magog and Gog is the EU.
I believe the dude who said the Kingdom of Heaven is amongst you.
And within you.
I like blending science with the bible. In the early 1990s the world science community accepted the parallel universe theory. Parallel universe science is a real theory today. “The heavens are among us” Jesus said in words. Parallel universes. As for Gog and Magog, the antichrist will destroy them financially and economically I believe and the antichrist itself will become kaput. The antichrist actually represents many individuals. Antichrists are those who fail or don’t even try to follow what Christ had taught. The word Antichrist is also not written in revelation and people tend to use the word Antichrist a lot. Should be addressed as Beast. Two Beasts. Well anyways the antichrist who destroys Gog and Magog and becomes kaput itself is “cough cough” I’ll let you guess.
It’s like God can’t destroy the Earth all on his own.
That’s not a god I would choose to believe in.
That type of “god” is actually a demon.
God’s got the amazing ability to do everything humans can’t do, while being completely unable to do anything humans CAN do. Weird, that.
With the advent of Nuclear Fusion and Climate Change God does not have to move a finger. Humans can and will do it all by theirselves.
Gotta prove anything God can do we can undo – bitter.
When we don’t oppose the corruption we are drinking the Hemlock.
Oh jeez,is there no limit to the extent of religious stupidity.
Mike Johnson also believes that the USA is a “Christian” nation and he gets to tell everyone else how to think and what to believe.
Someone needs to check his bank account the day of or after his statement for large some of transfer.
The real axis of evil, the real threat to the USA is the corporate multi million USD elite, the owners of government and the media and the hired hands in congress, and gullible voters.
For them war is great business, Biden will bless them with more wars and profits. He is their kind of guy, with or without dementia.
As usual your mind is deadly accurate.Nothing is going to change.I read that a while ago. It is the last time our peerless Senile leader told the truth. The biggest problem is there are more like him in power and going to be.
I would not put it past the DNC to make the fanatic Nuland failure the presidential candidate. They knew Biden was a mental basket case, but a neocon, what could possibly go wrong?
There’s precisely zero chance of Nuland being the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. She’s a bureaucrat, not a politician. She has none of the usual credentials for a presidential candidacy (e.g. being a former governor or senator). She doesn’t have much name recognition among the public and what she does have is mostly negative.
There aren’t very many things that are so dumb the DNC won’t consider them (as proven by the nomination of Hillary Clinton in 2016), but that’s one of them.
Totally agree. Plus, being a bureaucrat is Nuland’s super power and allows her to exert neoconservative influence no matter who is in the White House. She would be silly to give that up. Malignant she may be, but silly she is not. Nor Sullivan, nor Blinken.
Times have changed, I never thought we would have a demented old man as president, in my view anything is possible, they are bonkers.
I wish i could say they would not dare but we know damn well that nothing is beneath them.
”’ And Israel, US and UK are the Old axis of Evil…!
Translation: “Russia, China, and Iran pose a huge threat to the billionaires of the investor class who have bought and paid for myself and 90% of both parties representstives”
On another note, so much for that crumbling infrastructure getting fixed . . .
Or wheelchair bound homeless veteran living under a freeway overpass or the other millions living on skidrow especially the children.
More important to defend Al Qaeda rebels in Syria trying to steal Assad’s oil.
Don’t forget unaffordable housing https://www.cbsnews.com/news/homes-for-sale-affordable-housing-prices/
If this “Axis of Evil” really wanted to take over America, all they would need to do is promise that any American who fought for them would get their mortgage/rent canceled permanently. The whole country would be theirs in about a week.
I’d see them as liberators
More important to give billions to mass murdering Zionists.
1300 killed in one day b yHamas-Hamas is the Mass murderer.
The answer is yes but…
Accounts of the Israeli death toll have been filtered and shaped to suggest that a wholesale civilian massacre occurred that day, with babies, children, and women the main targets of a terror attack.
“Now, detailed statistics on the casualties released by the Israeli daily Haaretz paint a starkly different picture. As of 23 October, the news outlet has released information on 683 Israelis killed during the Hamas-led offensive, including their names and locations of their deaths on 7 October.
Of these, 331 casualties – or 48.4 percent – have been confirmed to be soldiers and police officers, many of them female. Another 13 are described as rescue service members, and the remaining 339 are ostensibly considered to be civilians.
While this list is not comprehensive and only accounts for roughly half of Israel’s stated death toll, almost half of those killed in the melee are clearly identified as Israeli combatants.
There are also so far no recorded deaths of children under the age of three, which throws into question the Israeli narrative that babies were targeted by Palestinian resistance fighters. Of the 683 total casualties reported thus far, seven were between the ages of 4 and 7, and nine between the ages of 10 and 17. The remaining 667 casualties appear to be adults.”
I guess that Israel is like the US. You can not believe one damn thing they say. But they don’t care,they are the Chosen people.
Also, many of the deaths were from friendly fire:
An Israeli massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri?
In its report on the events at Be’eri Kibbutz, ABC News photographed artillery pieces resembling Israeli munitions outside a bombed-out home. The reporter, David Muir, mentioned that Hamas fighters, covered in plastic bags, were found in the aftermath.
Additionally, videos of the scene show homes that appear to have been struck by munitions that Hamas fighters did not possess. Muir reported that about 14 people were held hostage in a building by Palestinian fighters.
A Hebrew-language Haaretz article published on 20 October, which only appears in English in a must-read Mondoweiss article, paints a very different story of what went down in Be’eri that day. A Kibbutz resident who had been away from his home – whose partner was killed in the melee – reveals stunning new details:
According to him, only on Monday night (9 October) and only after the commanders in the field made difficult decisions — including shelling houses with all their occupants inside in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages — did the IDF complete the takeover of the kibbutz. The price was terrible: at least 112 Be’eri people were killed. Others were kidnapped. Yesterday, 11 days after the massacre, the bodies of a mother and her son were discovered in one of the destroyed houses. It is believed that more bodies are still lying in the rubble.”
Yasmin Porat, a survivor from Kibbutz Be’eri, said in an interview for an Israeli radio-show, hosted by state-broadcaster Kan, that Israeli forces “eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” going on to state that “there was very, very heavy crossfire” and even noted tank shelling.
Porat had attended the Nova rave and testified to the humane treatment throughout different interviews she conducted with Israeli media. She explained that when she was held prisoner, the Hamas fighters “guarded us”, telling her in Hebrew to “Look at me well, we’re not going to kill you. We want to take you to Gaza. We are not going to kill you. So be calm, you’re not going to die.” She also added the following:
“They give us something to drink here and there. When they see we are nervous they calm us down. It was very frightening but no one treated us violently. Luckily nothing happened to me like what I heard in the media.”
QED Israel lies
That number keeps dropping as more facts come out.
The mass murder numbers in Gaza keep going up as more bombs are dropped.
The strategy and tactics employed by Israel makes mass slaughter of civilians inevitable. It amounts to terrorism, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
Right up the alley that they learned from the US.
Billionaires have the resources to survive no matter what.Russia has its Oligarchs.The ayatollahs have vast land holdings.Their children jet around in fancy cars.The Chinese military have large industrial holdings. It is the poor who fight America’s wars, everybodies wars,it is the poor who will starve during de dollarization.
yes and I hope you like cat food.
WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE…!!!! ALLY…???? More like our No.1 Welfare Queen. When did they lend us a hand….?????? Was it in WWI, WWII KOREA OR VIET NAM…?????? Try never. They just take,with no thought of giving…. They see US as their God given never need to deposit, withdrawals only ATM, bribe our elected leaders & SPY on us. As IF we’re too stupid or corrupt to end their thefts & betrayals!!!! What kind of ally is that…??? With allies like them we have no need for enemies… They are our fifth column.
Our real enemy is home made, it is our establishment owned government. The autocracy behind the vail of democracy.
I really don’t see the autocracy or Plutocracy going away any time soon.
We are we’re too stupid and corrupt to end their thefts & betrayals.
You forgot sinking our ship by mistake, my ass.
Easy mistake to make ! In broad daylight and against a monocolor sea, the US and Egyptian flags are ENTIRELY mostly identical. Especially when you see a huge American one and no sign of an Egyptian one.
Could it be that Israel had the balls to sink an intelligence ship?
Are the American people that oblivious to the fact that Washington DC basically is only interested in their political agenda of war?
they don’t care,they are filled with consumer dreams about big screen TVs,BMWs,football,gambling,pornography with a smidgen of guns and violence.
If Russia, China, Iran, Hezbola, and Hamas are the Axis of Evil, that is a 5 point War. President Trump is the only one who can shut that down.
He did want to end the killing in Syria,but the MSM mocked him.
Who is going to shut down Trump,the courts? I doubt it. He can’t run or ruin the country from a jail cell wearing an orange jump suit playing checkers with his cellmate Bubba.
No American blood for Israel!
No blood for (s)oil !
But american blood for S.Korea and Kuwait was OK?
No.
Or Russian blood for Crimea??Or Chinese conscripts dying so their masters can take Taiwan?
“”Chinese conscripts dying so their masters can take Taiwan?””
really, is that happening right before our eyes ? or not.
what do you think will happen when China makes its move?
Crimea is Russia.
Taiwan is China.
The US is not Israel,
Three lines of reply for an elegant mic drop. Gold !
Thanks.
In other words,the people of Crimea and Taiwan,are in your opinion,not worthy of self determination.
No American blood for their “self-determination.”
Also, your ignorance on Taiwan is showing. The government of Taiwan opposes “independence” and always has. It claims to be the one true China.
The people of Crimea chose to join with Russia in an overwhelming vote in 2014; so, they already have self determination.
WTF is this kind of talk? Tying weapons to Ukraine with aid to Taiwan is just angling for WW3. US policy priority #1 should be to avoid pushing China closer to Russia and Iran and avoiding a hot war with all 3 at all costs.
This dude is not just some unimportant local politician. He is 2nd in line to the fucking Presidency!!
“He is 2nd in line to the fucking Presidency!!”
Did you have to remind us? 😟
Its too, late,the dice have been rolled and we have lost the great game. Now it is the earth that will pay as well as the humans still living on our only planet.
Correction: Governments Are New Axis of Evil ?
Citizens are victims of their machinations ?
Another warmongering piece of shit.
Actually they are on both sides of the aisle. Both parties get their hands greased.
New House Speaker: Russia, China, and Iran Are New Axis of Evil
what happened to the previous Axis Of Evil ? N Korea and Iraq and of course Iran.
oh no worries uncle sam eliminated the Saddam thus negating that “axis of evil”.
oh yeah, somehow Libya and now Syria have almost had their evilness removed entirely even though neither of them could even spell the word “Axis”.
what
but good luck eliminating Russia and China, but does that mean that uncle sam will ever let Iran just be themselves ? never. because “even if Iran are not terrorists, they are certainly ‘sponsors of terror'” ! (exclamation mark !)
what
how many what’s does it take to get to the center of what.
what
edit) = want to know the real reason that Iran has been on the top of uncle sam’s bad-guy list for the last half-century ? because Iran’s oil is owned directly by Iran and therefore their gasoline only costs the Iranian people less than 20 cents per gallon. but our fearless US leaders do not want us questioning the Chevron, Shell, Arco and Standard Oil monopoly on US gasoline inc. and therefore US domestic policy.
what
How much does the average Iranian earn-that shows the real price that they pay,The average Iranian is still poor,despite cheap oil.
i just told you how much Iranian gasoline costs the Iranian people and you already know how much gasoline costs the American people and your response is to blame the Iranian’s currency whilst defending American oil companies?
oh jake, there is something wrong with you …
your mama must be so proud of you.
I doubt it.
4Q. To a person making $4.00 a week, 29 cents a gallon is a lot of money. Taxes comprise a hefty chunk of the US pump price.
Quite a statement. Are you saying the oil companies do not have the populations best interests at heart? How can anyone say or believe in the goodness of American blood sucking Corporations? By now we all should know differently.
In an interview with Sean Hannity, Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson said Putin cannot win in Ukraine
Just another Uni-Party hack!
Projecting?
Democrats finally got a Speaker they wanted! All other were unsuitable as they were not enough war oriented. We are caring about Israel that made the bed they have to sleep in. We knew it. We approved of it. Now we are shocked that people Israel kept in conditions many times worse than slavery — have lashed out! No, the only suprise here was that they were able to penetrate the high tech border with all the obstacles and sensors. Unless, as Egypt believes, since Israel was warned about intrusion. Israel actually disabled those sensors deliberately in irder to alloow thise 1,500 to enter. Israeli victims wereneeded to justify the wholesale. systematic and deliberate murder of ciivilians. That may be a stretch and a speculation, but tge outcome is for the world to see.
“No, the only surprise here was that they were able to penetrate the high tech border with all the obstacles and sensors.”
It isn’t surprising that they were able to do that, because they simply blasted through it. What’s surprising is that the IDF wasn’t paying attention, so Hamas and whoever else took advantage of the exit routes were able to keep going and wreak bloody havoc.
The notion that Israel deliberately allowed the breach is a pretty long stretch.
“The notion that Israel deliberately allowed the breach is a pretty long stretch.”
There’s numerous precedents in contemporary history, of states aware of impending “sneak attacks” but more interested in the blank cheque it gives them by letting it happen.
First, “contemporary history ” is a contradiction in terms. Second, if you want to use a reference to historical incidents to support your claim or assertion, the way to do it is to actually cite some of them and explain why you think they are similar or otherwise relevant to the current situation.. Tossing out “numerous precedents” doesn’t cut it.
Fair point, ’51.
Churchill let the Germans bomb Coventry to hide the fact the allies had broken Enigma. Tangential; but an example of letting something bad happen for a later purpose.
Evidence mounts that the USA knew Imperial Japan was about to strike Pearl Harbor, either definitively or quite certainly. The USA wanted open war against Japan but just needed a pretext.
We know there was a Presidential Daily Briefing on Al Qaeda, and numerous independent attestations from intel services in the US, that an attack (9/11) was coming. It would be a situation entirely useful to “swamp-draining” neocons.
A case might be made for the sending of the USS Maine to Havana Harbor.
And if I recall, the Kaiser’s WW1 Germany took out a sizeable ad in a NY newspaper WARNING that it considered American cruise liners (generally) and the Lusitania (specifically) to be legitimate wartime targets for transporting arms to Britain (and the Lusitania was doing so when sunk). The Lusitania was sunk; and later this would be a cause cited for the USA’s 1917 entry on the Allied side.
Now; none of these individually is proof-positive, but all taken together are aggregate evidence that yes, in fact, sometimes “the good guys” DO slip up intentionally in order to have cause for war, or a good-enough excuse.
All of those examples are speculative and controversial. It probably isn’t appropriate to argue them individually here. And even if they did constitute evidence that “sometimes ‘the good guys’ DO slip up intentionally,” it wouldn’t amount to evidence for Bianca’s claim. As Carl Sagan famously said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
“…speculative and controversial.”
I will accept “speculative or controversial”. It is a fact Churchill (had to) let Coventry happen. At best that one is controversial.
” ‘Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US’ was the title of the President’s Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on Monday, August 6, 2001.” (from Wikipedia; scanned image of document available there). It was a fact there was warning unheeded. It is a fact the Neocons used 9/11 to push regime changes and invasions unrelated to 9/11. It is a fact the AUMF of 2001 stands even today.
Given the nature of power and men in power, we can safely assume any “small trade” of lives or resources will GLADLY be given for the opportunity to take carte blanche against a real (or perceived) enemy of the State.
“It is a fact Churchill (had to) let Coventry happen.”
It may be a fact, but whether it is or not is something on which historians disagree. Most agree that British codebreakers had made significant progress in decrypting Enigma communications, and that certainly helped the war effort. However, there’s real debate about how much specific information they had regarding the Coventry attack. What they might have been able to do about if they did know is also a matter of serious uncertainty.
“‘Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US’ was the title of the President’s Daily Brief . . .
It is indeed a fact that bin Laden’s intention to attack was known. That’s not the same thing as knowing what form an attack might take or when it might happen. That the neocons used the 9/11 attacks to fuel their regime change campaigns and invasions and that the AUMF persists are also facts, but not facts that support the claim we’re discussing.
“Given the nature of power and men in power, we can safely assume . . .”
What we can safely assume, generally, about wielders of power does not tell us what we can know, or reasonably assume, about, e.g., what Israel did or didn’t know or did or didn’t do in the case of the Hamas attack.
Netanyahu, Bidden,militant Islam,and the theocrat rulers of Iran are the winners
Democrats had nothing to do with it. They voted against Johnson and unanimously in favor of their own leader, just as they did in all the other votes. And other than Jordan, all of the other GOP Speaker candidates were war hawks too. And even Jordan was squish, at best.
https://www.axios.com/2023/10/16/jim-jordan-house-speaker-ukraine-israel-funding
Not everything in the world is the fault of “Democrats.” Republicans are at just as bad in general on war and peace issues, and perhaps even worse when it comes to Israel. Only one Republican voted against the latest resolution of support for Israel in the House. One. (Sure, only nine Democrats voted against it as well. Not saying that they are any great shakes either, on these issues.)
Do you mean squish or swish?
Ah a good conspiracy theory is lovely to behold.it must be for we haqve so many of them ,like JFK,Amelia Airhardt,who killed Judge Crater and did the Mossad cause the Towers to crumble.No doubt more are on the way.Sorry I forgot Roger Rabbit.
maybe blackmail? or MKUltra? or VOLITIONAL submission to the PTB…especially in his Elite Controlled GOP and “conservative” movement??????…..
Definitely volitional. This is a wack job who believes the System is ordained by God and that the US and Israel are His chosen nations. He probably also thinks that God has chosen him for this special holy mission.
True believers are the very best useful idiots.
Meet the new a -hole… Same as the old a-hole
Old Chinese Axiom,some things never changee.
Or the saying a friend heard repeatedly on her travels in Vietnam : “Same-same, but different.”
Unfortunately for Iran, position #3 is subject to rotation, expect N. Korea and in a pinch, Venezuela to take that spot. The axis of evil has to have exactly 3 members, this is the GWB rule.
Sorry Chris, but Iran has seniority in this trio. But it could become a quartet and I don’t think Shrub would object.
A senior official of the Palestinian Hamas Movement said on October 28 that the Israeli large ground operation in the Gaza Strip which began a day earlier was foiled.
“The enemy fell into ambushes prepared by the Palestinian resistance on a number of fronts, and since the beginning of the battle there have been defensive plans against any attempt,” Barak, who is based in Lebanon, said.
According to the official, Ali Baraka, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attacked from three axis, but failed to advance and suffered “heavy losses” in manpower and equipment.
Reminds me of the 1967 war-Arabs cried they were winning and shot down 4x the number of planes Israel actually had.Hamas fighters are dedicated and bloodthirsty-pour seawarer and nerve gas into their abodes.
“…pour seawater and nerve gas into their abodes.”
Are you 100% sure who is or isn’t sheltering in their tunnel networks ?
What if there are hundreds of kids down there ?
What if there’s even just ONE ?
And as a further – d’you not see a glaring irony in the IDF exterminating their enemies with gas ?
No irony-there is no pleasant way in warfare.Once the war tragedy starts,the idea is to decommission your enemies with minimal loss to your own side,so you can go home alive. Is spearing someone in the gut humane? Egypt flooded the tunnels with sea water when it suited them. Hiroshima ended the war.
“Hiroshima ended the war.”
False. DEMONSTRABLY false. Were you not reading ANY of the articles on antiwar.com in early August or in the leadup to the premiere of ‘Oppenheimer’ ???
We KNOW the war against Japan was effectively and evidently over by the end of July 1945. It was at the point the USA was insisting on an unconditional surrender that included the removal of Japan’s Emperor, and Japan was hesitant on that point.
Then the USA decided to use its new toys on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (largely to send a message to their Soviet “allies”). Then the USA dropped its stipulation that Hirohito go. THEN the war ended.
Also : “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
Good one.
oh the satire of delusional zionists…hahahahahaha
Everyone knows who the real axis of EVIL is and it ain`t Russia , China or Iran.
Its Judaeophobia.
I daresay, it’s rabid Judeophilia.
You don’t have to go that far away to find an “axis of evil”.
Yes,Texas,Alabama,Mississippi and rural parts of Georgia right here in the USA.
Tolerance of people that don’t share your world view isn’t one of your strong points. Your comment reminds me of the “deplorables” comment made the war criminal Hillary Clinton.
I live in an area you would likely include in your bigoted screed. Yes, it is Trump country. I hardly share their view on Trump, but moving here from NY was an eye opener. The people here are helpful, open hearted and generous. I could give a number of examples of their humanity but I’m guessing it would be wasted on you.
Joe is too brain damaged to know that much of the rest of the world laughs at him, and doesn’t particulary care for the U.S. and its destructive policies. If Joe even had a clue what’s coming his way, he would be having a nonstop squirting fest in his Depends. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/10/vasko-kohlmayer/us-leadership-wreaks-mayhem-and-destruction-across-the-world/
It will not be hay he squirts.An accurate description of his political career and his Presidency
If the American people knew the truth about Israel/Palestine, they would be outraged that their Congresspeople are basically giving a green light to genocide! Regardless of what happened on October 7, what we are witnessing in Gaza (again!) is just a larger version of what Palestinians have had to put up with for over 70 years. I’ll tell you who is ultimately responsible for the Hamas attack- those, including Israel and the USA, who totally ignore the sufferings and situation of Palestinians. When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable! New House Speaker Johnson is just another in a long line of American sell-outs to Israel!
Fucking A
Also north Korea.
If, Mr. Johnson really feels such enthusiasm, he should get his physical and enlist! Nah, he won’t do that… He only wants to send OUR children to fight and die…
Detente is our best weapon… Of Peace…
Peace is not the objective. Peace is bad business for the Lords of War.
I will be brief,No Shit
Looks like Baby Jesus has been whispering in the Speaker’s ear again.
“I hope that it doesn’t come to boots on the ground.” Where the hell did they find this idiot, 1950?
Welcome back to the days of witchhunts,its coming round the bend.
When I first heard that the House rejected Jim Jordan I had an immediate gut feeling that they were going to appoint a crazy person to that position. I’m 77 years old now and I’ve been having gut feelings all my life, and they are never wrong.
All they did was trade one nut job for another.
Nuland, Blinken, Sullivan, and Biden are asses of evil.
It takes sadistic people to do what they are doing in Gaza as well as in Ukraine and other places. Ukraine and Gaza are public the whole world knows of their crimes and sadism.
It takes sadistic people,such as Hamas to rape,mutilate,kill babies point blank, and kidnap old ladies in wheelchairs.
The problem is more complex than that Jake… Occupation has created several enemies for Israel, beyond that, the existence of a “Jewish State”, which signifies a state for Jews only, adds further complications to the myriad of other complications…
Having said that, I can readily accept a “Jewish State” as long as their can be a free and fair Palestinian State.
A Neocon as House Speaker. What were the odds?
That is pretty much all there is, sadistic neocons, war criminals
About 98%.
i can’t help but wonder; do the Axis Of Evil know how to Rock ?
I Like To Rock
A conversation I had with my son.
“You have seen and read the war fever that has infected the plutocrats in Washington, DC.”
“Yes but why dad?”
“Because they are pure evil; they worship the God of Mammon in the temple of Wall Street. They love sending American sons and daughters to die in a foreign land just like they did with my generation in the Vietnam War. They do it to garner profit from the rise in market value of the weapons manufacturers’ public stock. They care nothing for our lives.”
“Are you saying I will be conscripted in a military draft, dad?”
“Son, they will. But when they come for you this time I will be standing in the doorway and I will kill them dead if they try.”
“Maybe I should go then, dad. I don’t want to see you die and leave mom alone.”
“No son. Your mother and I did not raise you to sacrifice your life overseas to serve the perfidious lies and ambitions of our so-called “elected officials” who enrich themselves on the backs of the American youth. We will both die together here on our property, on American soil, as our forefathers did against the tyranny of the British.”
“So this is it then dad, the end?”
I smiled and hugged my boy really hard.
“No son, it is the mark of the beginning of a new national history. In our own small way it will be the rebirth of the land of the free and the home of the brave and God-willing, if others do the same the despots will no longer have the power to forfeit our lives for their material gain. There is no point in calling ourselves Americans if we do not stand our ground in a just cause and fight for our liberty.”
“The here and now is our time son, our time.”
Things that didn’t happen. (And if it did, you’re a creepy, mentally abusive parent.)
It appears you lack the ability to see the hell that is coming for your children or perhaps you are incapable of having offspring due to a low sperm count. Too much masturbation is one of the leading causes of that medical condition.
“Things that didn’t happen?”
It will happen if the American people don’t stand up to the monsters in power.
But you would happily send you progeny to a foreign land so you can enjoy the comfort of your home and your selfish, pathetic life.
When the doorbell rings and two U.S. military soldiers bring you the news of your dead kids or they come home and their bodies are all shot up or shell shocked (i.e., PTSD) in the head, what then will you do?
You would do nothing but look away or offer some pitiful excuse as to why you didn’t object to save you children from the horrors of unnecessary wars.
You gladly support the kakistocracy in Washington, DC as long as you get your rice bowl filled at the expense of the lives of others.
How more contemptible and small-minded can a person be.
Well, my sperm count is zero, because I’m a woman, but I did manage to have three kids nonetheless. But your creepy obsession with my sex organs and what I do with them isn’t what this site is about.
I do have very real fears about my two teenage sons potentially being drafted one day. But what I don’t do is sit around and talk with them about the possibility that we’ll all be murdered because they won’t join the military. I also don’t post pretend conversations in which I sound like a dollar-store version of Mel Gibson in “The Patriot.” (Also, you do know that there’s such a a thing as conscientious objector status, right?)
Maybe you should find new things to fantasize about that don’t involve drafts or my sex life.
“But what I don’t do is sit around and talk with them about the possibility that we’ll all be murdered because they won’t join the military.”
Apparently the word “proactive” is not in your vocabulary. That’s typical behavior of persons who bury their head underground instead of addressing important issues head-on before it’s too late.
Conscientious objectors? I laugh when they superglue their ass to a lamppost or lay down on a road like a doormat as a “protest.”
Women are traditionally suppose to be wise and nurturing but in your case being an Alpaca explains why you are so easily “fleeced” by the news media and Washington, DC reprobates. Oh and don’t worry, I’m not into bestiality so your sex organs are safe from me.
Here’s a suggestion for you babe when you’re alone in the house. Look in a mirror, make a fist and scream at the top of your lungs saying, “I won’t let them take by kids!”
Then maybe your children will believe you’ll fight for them to the death and not just lie down like a doormat.
Yeah, Lemony is right: You’re weird and creepy. There’s way too much creepy shit in our world at the moment, so I’ll block you now, to limit my exposure.
or maybe, just maybe, I have another plan in place already, that isn’t spewing a bunch of bullhockey to my kids and declaring I can defeat the US military single-handedly.
Btw, weird that you supposedly have kids young enough to be hanging on your every word …. but “your generation” was being sent to Vietnam. So you’d have to be at least 66 to have registered for the draft hen Vietnam was still on.
Your story doesn’t add up
I never wrote that, “I can defeat the US military single-handedly.” How did you come to such an asinine conclusion?
I said I would fight to the death to stop the government from taking my son.
I’m a septuagenarian and served in the U.S. Military during the Vietnam War. I enlisted because as an 18 year old, I trusted President Johnson’s reason for fighting the North Vietnamese regular army, the Viet Cong and Red China to stop communism from spreading westward. I was too ignorant of the lies that spewed everyday from the despicable mouths of neoconservative warmongers as they continue to do today. 58,000 of my peers died in a foreign land for nothing. Tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans are still homeless in America today and experience the anguish of the hell of war that plays in their minds over and over.
But you are too ignorant and insensitive to realize that because your generation never experienced such pain.
The conversation I had with my son was real and poignant to prepare him for what will most likely come in the near future if the Israeli-Palestine war expands throughout the Middle East
You appear to suffer from diminished, perceptive cognition and continue to embarrass yourself with childish comments. See a psychologist and get mental help for your sake and your children.
You’re a septuagenarian with children of draft age? Congratulations on the longevity of your ability to fertilize eggs!
Dear Thomas,
First of all, thank you for the comment about my perceived virility but my son is 42 years old.
Currently, the federal statutory age ceiling for conscription into the Selective Service System of American natural born and naturalized male citizens or immigrant males of legal or illegal status residing in the United States into the U.S. Military is 26 year of age (i.e., “the draft”).
See: USC Title 50, Chapter 49, Section 3802 (“Registration”).
Therefore at first blush I have nothing to worry about, right?
However under paragraph one of section 3803 (“Persons liable for training and service”) we read the clause:
The President is authorized, from time to time, whether or not a state of war exists, to select and induct into the Armed Forces of the United States for training and service in the manner provided in this chapter (including but not limited to selection and induction by age group or age groups) such number of persons as may be required to provide and maintain the strength of the Armed Forces.
The President of the United States has also been granted the authority under paragraph three to modify the Armed Forces Qualification Test to broaden the number of males who may otherwise be unqualified to serve.
So what does this mean?
It means the “door is open” to conscript any male of any age into the Armed Forces of the United States should Congress declare a State of War or a national emergency.
Legislative laws can change depending upon contemporary events.
Don’t think it cannot happen?
I refer you to the two-year plus war in Eastern Europe between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced a general mobilization after Russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion and military reservists between the ages of 18 and 60 are eligible for conscription.
Refer to Reuters article dated August 17, 2023.
See:
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-tells-military-age-citizens-overcome-their-fear-recruitment-campaign-2023-08-17/
The worst people who make life and death decisions about the lives of the American youth are in power in Washington, DC.
The only way to stop them from making more war is to stand firm for our children’s future and reject their insanity.
“Don’t think it cannot happen?”
Oh, I think it can happen.
But if it did I doubt that the US government as we know it would survive the response.
There is no limit to the greed,ignorance of a significant part of the population of the US. It was not always that way. Somewhere along the line we lost or sense of caring and looking out for each other. Putting the blame for this is difficult because there were a lot of reasons.
Dear Wendell,
I understand what you wrote but the Fathers of America have to step up and do the right thing to protect their sons from this perfidious evil in Washington, DC.
The old canard of “It is better to have tried and failed then to have never tried at all,” rings true for me.
Wendell if there is a military draft I swear, the bastards are not taking my boy, they are not taking him.
sorry there is NFC that our fathers are coming to our rescue. I hate to sound so negative but I fear our days are numbered. I have totally lost faith in our political and military systems ability to change and heal.
Oh Jesus another nut job loose on this site spewing crap.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes because that is the way it should have been.I admire your optimism and hope but I fear you and us are barking up the wrong tree. Waging the degree of power Capitalism has in this country against the hopes for change is not exactly an odds on or winning proposition. This Republics soul is long gone drowned in a bunch of Bull Shit.
A god in wrath
Was beating a man;
He cuffed him loudly
With thunderous blows
That rang and rolled over the earth.
All people came running.
The man screamed and struggled,
And bit madly at the feet of the god.
The people cried,
“Ah, what a wicked man!”
And —
“Ah, what a redoubtable god!”
Stephen Crane
nailed it
NATO in Ukraine has already lost; 517 Aircraft, 253 helicopters, 8348 UAV’s, 441 Anti Aircraft systems, 12980 tanks inc. APC’s, 1170 multiple rocket launchers, 6897 field artillery and 14720 military automotive equipment. Approx. $1 Trillion of NATO hardware.
WW3 started in Ukraine in 2014 according to Jens Stoltenberg NATO Secretary General. The combined Western NATO nations overthrew the government in a violent bloody coup and installed Nazi’s in power.
These people are monsters, parasites on humanity, total psychopaths.
Ah come on,you can do better then that.
Nothing exposes the racism, hypocrisy, arrogance and selfishness of capitalists and their backers like a major threat or catastrophe. US oligarchy and the American people are unhinged from reality.
If you stick your head up your arse far enough you can see Russia……i mean China, i mean Iran. And Saddam Hussein had WMD’s and was throwing babies out of incubators blah blah blah
The Republicans and Democrats are just 2 cheeks of the same corporate arse. Both are are just as complicit in the crimes of the United States of Atrocities……
Absolutely well spoken and highly accurate and truthful.
It appears that there is a difference of opinion. Russia,Iran ,China and most of the rest of the world excepting those commonly accepted as US flunkys believe that The US,Israel and their believers are the biggest killers on the planet.
time for the govt repair to begin. treason equals death.
Who are the real holocaust (Nakba) deniers? Making Nazism Great Again.
It was the American left who supported Stalin’s pact with Hitler. The Nabka was real,as was the destruction of Jewry in the Arab world.
Oh man give it a fucking break. You are becoming tiresome.
On the 30th September 1938 the Munich agreement was signed, under which Britain and France gave the Third Reich the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. “The Pact” about granting the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to the Nazis was signed by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier, Germany’s Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and Prime Minister of Italy Benito Mussolini.
Of all participating countries of the League of Nations, only the Soviet Union in March 1938 tried to protest against the annexation of Austria, in the spring of 1939, Czechoslovakia was invaded by Nazi troops. The Soviet Union, which Czechoslovakia had a mutual assistance agreement with, was ready to intervene and requested from Poland to provide a corridor for the Soviet troops to defend Czechoslovakia from the Nazis.
Poland refused the Soviet Union the right of passage for the Soviet army, Poland even indicated they would immediately declare war on the USSR if she tried to send troops through Polish territory to aid Czechoslovakia. Instead of helping the Czechs, Poland invaded Czechoslovakia and captured the Cieszyn region. Poland divided Czechoslovakia with the Third Reich, in what was a preliminary agreement between the Polish Foreign Minister Jozef Beck and Foreign Minister of the Third Reich – Ribbentrop. The so-called “Covenant of Beck-Ribbentrop Pact”
The Soviet Union made tremendous efforts to put in place conditions for collective resistance to Nazism in Germany and made repeated attempts to create an anti-Nazi bloc in Europe. All of these attempts failed. After 1938, when the well-known agreement was concluded in Munich, conceding some regions of Czechoslovakia the writing was on the wall. This agreement made the war possible because of Germany, France, and the UK – the three signatories of the Munich agreement.
When the Soviet Union realised that it was left to face Hitler’s Germany on its own, it acted to try to avoid a direct confrontation, and this resulted in signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The Molotov-Ribbentrop accord was signed on 23 August 1939. Three days later the German army was mobilised and nine days later Hitler attacked Poland. Many historians believe the Molotov-Ribbentrop deal allowed Hitler to start war as he knew he would not have to face the Soviet Union.
The Nazi concentration camps that followed were little more than forced slave labour resources for the rich Western industrialists who funded Hitler throughout the war. It turns out that capitalist ideology is Nazism, it always was, and this is spelled out very clearly in the new fascist Ukraine and the new apartheid Israel.
It amazes me that most Americans refuse to believe the truth even when it is front of their face.
Most of the Nazi concentration camps were death factories,making money was secondary. and have you forgotten how the USSR did its little Katayn forest massacre? There was a popular leftist folk singer who went along with the pact. Then,when Germany attacks Russia,he immediately becomes anti fascist.
Good thing there’s no longer a Soviet Union or a Nazi Germany.
House Rep. Mike Johnson Uni-Party hack!!
So Iran, Russia, and China are the new Axis of Evil. Bigger and badder than the old one (Iran, Iraq, and North Korea). I hope this news will reassure congressional Democrats that the GOP will continue to support the Neocons’ plan to ignite WWIII. Who says Congress can’t find bipartisan common ground to get things done?
God Forbidden if he becomes president if something happens to Biden and Harris…!
It will make it easier for the Brown shirts and Cops to take over. Don’t think tgat it can’t happen here. All the signals are coming to your neighborhood.
Not axis of evil, just one axel of evil and that’s the demonic USA
The speaker is either stupid or is projecting evil thoughts against Russia China and Iran. I think he’s evil. Lots of evil in Washington DC these days.
The scariest thing about the new Speaker is that he thinks he is actually doing God’s work and is his vessel (with his warmongering).
Is he wrong?
HOw come he left out North Korea?
Senior moment would be my guess. He should probably add Turkey too.
And how did this clown get to be chosen as Speaker, again ?
The satirical magazine the Onion challenging the view that people should not criticise Israeli actions unless they first condemn Hamas. The Onion headline read: “Dying Gazans Criticized for Not Using Last Words to Condemn Hamas”.
Every time I get completely and totally disgusted by Biden and his pack of fools, the republicans go and pick someone just as bad, if not worse.
