USA Goes to War Against Iran
Time for a dedicated thread to the war.
How long will it last and what will be the probable outcome?
I'm not even sure they still follow Chomsky's stuff in linguistics that closely anymore so he's just washed.
Journalism is not supposed to be committed from some abstract point of political neutrality.
Being a leftist journalist doesn't make her a bad journalist. Say what you mean.
it's not journalism, it's activism - very different and it bothers me that she both pretends to be a journalist and that others agree with that
Yes we are using different words to say the same thing.
i have no problem with her as an activist - i just wish she labeled herself accurately because what she produces is newsmax levels of bad when it comes to presenting stories
you just don't notice because like the newsmax audience, they prefer thing presented in ways that gel with their ideology over objective reporting
something no ones talking about is the china effect. China has an arms deal with iran basically iran uses chinas stuff. Chinas equipment has proven to be useless vs the us airforce the only planes shot down were by kuwait using American tech. China has since deescalated around taiwan no longer flying over it while getting cucked by the straight of hormuz being closed .They have
The conclusions some of you draw based on nothing but a few reddit threads is borderline insanity.

China can't get its B-2 knockoff stealth bomber, the H-20, to work. Heat-signature issues and other problems, apparently, so it can't go into production. Loss-of-face matter, considering the B-2 is quite old. So they're feeling a wee bit shy while the US bomber force is doing its thing against Iran.
And as a Canadian I want us to get away from america and move towards china
Out of the frying pan into the fire, eh?
those two are orders of magnitude better than her - unlike her they've been published by mainstream print journalism
while all 3 are big proponents of independent journalism, only two of them practice it
Depends on if the IRGC keeps the Straight closed. While all the talk is about oil, nothing is getting into Iran, either. Like 80% of Iran's food along with a lot of other essential goods comes through the Straight. It's like a suicide blockade.

Holy **** you think they're going to shoot at the ships bringing them food? You realize they know which ships are which when they're firing missiles at them?

As of mid-March 2026, container ship imports to Iran have effectively collapsed, along with almost all other commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran has turned the waterway into a "no-go" zone for international carriers.
[*]Near-Zero Inbound Traffic: For several consecutive days in mid-March, maritime tracking has recorded zero inbound commercial transits through the Strait of Hormuz.
[*]Withdrawal of Major Carriers: Global lines, including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd, have suspended all bookings and transits in the region due to extreme security risks and the cancellation of war risk insurance.
[*]Direct Attacks: Since the conflict began, at least 16 commercial vessels have been struck by projectiles or drones in the area, including a bulk carrier hit as recently as March 11 while attempting to exit the Strait.

FELL FOR IT AGAIN
He probably didn't praise Trump enough.
shes not a leftist. she pushes pro-Epstein-regime narratives. maybe shes sincere, maybe shes compromised, maybe shes a grifter. doesnt really matter. you guys gotta realize how the media operates on different levels.
I mean ffs we just found out that the most prominent "leftist", "anti-Imperialist" Western academic was out there broing it up with Epstein and Bannon.
They can understand that Fox is manipulated but that's pretty much all they are capable of.
I myself had a soc professor who would call NPR national petroleum radio and I thought he was nuts. Of course I was like 20 then and then I grew up but these people are just stuck.
So Trump spent months going after south anmericans instead of Iranian sleeper cells. Wonderful.

They've always have been here which is one reason why you shouldn't be gung ho about bombing the shiit out of Iran because they said death to America. That's certainly not as bad as chanting death to a sitting VP, but all those guys got a full and unconditional pardon.

Preferably we’d focus on removing the Iranian sleeper cells instead of Mexicans and still have the option of bombing the **** out of Iran.
There really isn’t a point of having a trillion dollar military budget if we can’t threaten one of the worst dictatorships who calls for our country’s destruction on a regular basis.

Except there was no reason for the US to bomb Iran. Trump's own intelligence agency said they were 10 years away from having the ability to launch an ICBM that could reach the US - if they fully supported continued development.
So why again did a school of 7-12yo children get blown to pieces? Oh yeah, some people said some mean things.

This is just some warmonger chit.
Wikipedia? Chatgpt? It's certainly not books or any credible source. That much is evident.
what books are available on current geopolitical events? lmao its a better source then the no source you have criticizing my source. Theres zero chance you even looked into it. just a keyboard warrior. you should go on the ground and find out because apparently every source is bad.
LMAO BOOKS. its 2026 no one reads books and books don't exist on live events. new york best sellers get like 20k sales counting audio books

Warmonger chit? Iran spent decades financing and building up a network of terrorist proxies surrounding Israel. They’ve been launching missiles into Israel for years.
