What? What messes is the U.S. making? Iran has been a mess for 47 years, the U.S. is finally trying to clean it up. Europe is a mess of their own doing and it looks like we finally have people in office who are tired of helping them and paying to keep it from getting too messy.

You seem to live in a parallel universe!

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

Really?  Venezuela is not better now than just a few months ago?  Iran was a peace loving nation that was good to its neighbors until T bombed them?  where have you been for the past half century?

SHAME on U to use japanese name while talking such an ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! U would be only excused for that, AFTER 3 or more covid genetically modifying jabs! Btw. here an EXAMPLE of iranian daily life, compared to US:

"Iran's Metro Vs. U.S." and it does not look like it is AI created....

Remember the GDP of US 2020 $21.354 trillion, the one of Iran $262.19 billion!!!! You know what that means? The Epstein Elite takes the money for THEMSELVES while letting THOUSANDS (!!!) of CHILDREN disappear, EVERY YEAR!!!

Don't feed trolls. They get payed to keep up US propaganda, we don't get payed debunking their unbacked nonsense.

You mean to tell me that life in a war zone is hell? Wow! Who knew? Yet, as bad as it is, there are a great many of Iranians in Iran who are cheering the attacks upon their government. Life in Iran has been hell for many for the past two decades. Are you ignorant of the fact that tens of thousands of protesters were massacred recently by that same government? And of course, have to reference Epstein. Are you also unaware that Epstein’s estate paid out claims to his victims? Sadly, whatever did happen and who exactly was involved can no longer be known as whatever remains of evidence has been corrupted.

Finally, who the fauci are you to shame me for using a Japanese name or any other?

Tony Broomfield's avatar

Life in a war zone is hell for sure. Maybe the US and it's allies should stop waging wars then.

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

Maybe, Iran should not have been chanting "Death to the US." for two decades while funding, supplying and training people who have killed Americans. Perhaps, Iran should not have been as cozy with Venezuela under Maduro nor funded the attach on Israel.

U are indeed COMPLETELY CLUELESS about WHO actually is doing what around the entire globe. So please, Stop repeating CNN news=LIES and start listening to real TRUTH TELLERS, like those who actually LIVE IN IRAN and go through the hell made by Israel and America (example: https://t.me/s/s_m_marandi or this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY4KZcX-_3M)

Btw. I consider Japanese and Iranians highly intelligent people, NOW with that one exception: U.

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

Get a clue. The Japanese are no better nor no worse than any others. There are those who are brilliant and those as dumb as a box of rocks, just like people from any where else. Your considerations are of no value. Now,cane you provide facts that disprove the statement I made that prompted this comment from you?

Cleaning up? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

Yes. Venezuela is far cleaner than it was. Cuba seems to literally running out of gas. The Middle East has been a mess since before any of us were born.

China courting opposition leaders in Taiwan is nothing new. There were great concerns about PRC’s influence in Taiwan’s last presidential election, and concerns about members of Taiwan’s military working with PRC. This was occurring before Trump. You might want to ask people in the Xiden’s administration about this since Xiden sold out to China.

John, one of the comparisons that immediately comes to mind when thinking about Trump and Netanyahu is that of Mike Tyson and Don King. When Tyson first entered the ring as a professional he was not surrounded by the sycophants that eventually brought him down. These eventually included family members and a handler, Robin Givens, that was likely brought in by King to control Tyson's emotional stability, spy on him, get inside his head and eventually rob him blind. Tyson's own character flaws and weaknesses such as ego and propensity toward women, which were kept in check by Cus D'Amato's straight talk, discipline and sage wisdom, eventually gave way to the exploitation by King and company when Cus died.

Those constantly haranguing you and others who are trying their best to inject some balanced fact-checking and historical warnings into Trump's USIsrael's endeavors and Bibi Netanyahu's morals and motivations are the Tyson entourage. I'd love to hear you dive into that analogy a bit more. It seems incredibly prescient and perhaps a more relatable, working-class example of how a powerful fighter can be brought down by treachery and deceit, eventually knocked out by a journeyman fighter who just focused on the fundamentals; jab and move, jab and move.

Brice Taylor, Thanks For The Memories...

As expected John and is inline with Sun Tzu Chinese Military Philosophy. China and Russia are in a much better position before Netanyahu's War on Iran which a Blackmailed, Bribed and Threatened Trump was trapped into.

DBC's avatar

Yea, when the Iranian negotiators bragged about their stockpile of enriched uranium and their ability to build 11 nukes.... Trump reacted.

All else is noise.

albert venezio's avatar

How about Israel's 100 illegal (With Stolen US Technology which Israel then sold to the Russians, Chinese and others) Nukes with which they have held the Middle East and the world captive?

Iran now has no choice to do it thanks to Netanyahu and his Blackmailed Bribed Traitor Clown Trump!

DBC's avatar

But, they won't succeed.

Who would you rather see as Potus?

tds doesn't cut it imo. Noise.

albert venezio's avatar

Both choices were HORRIBLE!

You do not do deep enough research.

DBC's avatar

Who would you rather see as Potus?

albert venezio's avatar

Are you that programmed by the Right/Left charade?

They are both a DISASTER. However it is clear that Trump has proclaimed himself Dictator and launcher of WWIII, doing the bidding of his Controller Netanyahu who has him Blackmailed - Bribed - Threatened so clearly Trump is not the best choice.

I have never voted right or left because they have all disgusted me for the past 46 years. I believe the 2 best Presidents for America since 1900 have been Ike and JFK because they tried to do what was best for America and humanity. One Republican and one Democrat but both striving for humanity the best they could (Though both made mistakes as we all do).

Harris may not have been as bad as Dictator warmonger PDF Trump.

Daniel Wirt's avatar

And now, thanks to people like you, very likely they will…

DBC's avatar

''very likely they will' - will what? more noise?

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

If there was anything to blackmail T with Biden would have released it.

albert venezio's avatar

Have you read the Epstein files?

Kitsune, Maskless Crusader.'s avatar

No, and nor have you. Do you really think that they just gathered dust during the four years of Biden? Seems like The whole world has forgotten that there was a four year period between T’s two terms in which the government threw everything they had and could invent at him.

Why do you disparage the US as making a mess and China sliding in gracefully to eat its lunch?

Do you really think the pros in USA are blind and dumb to China/Iran relationship and objectives?

Brian wallis's avatar

Iran is far more important than Taiwan. Seems like the Iran bots are out in full force tying to save their ass. Rather than negotiate US should have finished the take out

David Chere-Bolelwang's avatar

Russia and Iran have shown that with determination, the US can be pushed back and this must have emboldened China like never before.. The Chinese must be thinking. "it is now or never" as the saying goes.. (from Johannesburg)

Inisfad's avatar

Hopefully, Taiwan will supply China with oil. In the meantime, as the author here is constantly talking about ‘peace’ with Iranian jihadists, are we now hoping to have to militarily protect Taiwan from China? One wonders at the conflicting logic.

joe jacovino's avatar

hey where's epstein ?

PLK's avatar

Excellent approach, Mr. Leake. Still don’t love the consistently disparaging titles but really appreciate the analysis and perspective.

SoloD's avatar

We (America) are the target.

Mohammad Tarmizzy's avatar

Timing itself is hard to ignore. KMT stalling Taiwan’s $40bn defence budget while all this lines up changes how you look at it. More one sequence than isolated events to me.

Paul's avatar

Isreal is the problem

Betty Ann's avatar

Here's hoping that Trump will see the writing on the wall. To end the war with Iran, break from Israel, and go after the Taiwan trillions to make U.S.A. solvent again! It will make Trump great again!

Steve Church's avatar

Do you actually know Mr. Perera? Just wondering because he recently popped onto my radar as well. He seems to know an awful lot. He also seems to slip into neocon narrative support mode frequently. I hate to be suspicious.

AI Provides  a Good Example As To Why The West Shouldn't Copy China.

China shows that AI  regulation is not a neutral tool. It can also be used to enforce ideological conformity, narrow the space of acceptable thought, and turn powerful models into instruments of state direction. The Chinese system makes that dynamic unusually visible because the political mandate is explicit.
