Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis The list of warmongering excuses is nearly endless. Here’s 10 of them. It’s OK to kill someone today if there is reason to believe they may do something wrong in the future: Senator Lindsey Graham January 3, 2020. “This was not an act of revenge for what he had done in the past. This was a preemptive, defensive strike planned to take out the organizer of attacks yet to come.” Apparently only the US has this right. Assassinating foreign leaders is OK and does not constitute an act of war. Trump, Graham, Ben Shapiro, and too many neocons to count. Declared wars, who needs em? Bush, Obama, Hillary, Trump. Rand Paul Mocks the ...

This is apparently what US-imposed "democracy" in action looks like. Poster Comment:Next time a soldier gets drunk in town move him to a prison where the US can;t find him. Soldiers will want to leave if they are subject to arrest. The Iraqi police can start investigating war crimes. See some pilots off base, arrest them. Need to know if they were bombing the Iraqi Army which now includes the Popular Militia.
Trump to de-Escalate: Intelligence Source

It is most unlikely Trump will escalate at this point, and this could provide him with the opportunity to leave the Middle East except for the Gulf States. Trump wants to get out,” a U.S. intelligence source says. President Donald Trump will de-escalate the crisis with Iran when he speaks to the nation at 11 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, a U.S. intelligence source has told me. Last night Iran retaliated for the assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani with missile strikes on two U.S. military bases in Iraq. So far there have been no casualties reported. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that the ballistic missile strikes launched from Iran completed Tehran’s ...

Iran willing to share black boxes, denies hostile act House votes to limit Trump's military actions on Iran It has been nearly a week since the killing of Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, and the justification for the strike is still clear as mud. The Trump administration initially said Soleimani was planning “imminent” attacks on Americans and U.S. interests in the Middle East, but it hasn’t provided much in the way of elaboration. It has since oscillated between pointing to the imminence of such attacks and suggesting that the strike was retaliatory for what Soleimani had already done. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to say whether the attacks ...
U.S. Media Outlets Fail to Disclose U.S. Government Ties of ‘Iranian Journalist’ Echoing Trump Talking Points

The Trump administration is adamant that Iranians welcome the assassination of Qassem Soleimani. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed Iraqis were “dancing in the street … thankful that General Soleimani is no more” and that Iranians will view the U.S. as “giving them freedom.” The facts on the ground did little to match Pompeo’s assessments, however, with massive funeral processions for Soleimani in both Iraq and Iran, while Iraq’s parliament called for the expulsion of U.S. troops because of Soleimani’s assassination. But one frequently cited Iranian voice in the mainstream media, Masih Alinejad, has been repeatedly echoing the ...

Passenger Jet with 176 People Aboard Crashes in Iran Volume 90% By Jack Davis Published January 8, 2020 at 7:27am A Boeing 737 passenger jet operated by a Ukrainian airline crashed Wednesday in Iran, killing all aboard. The Boeing 737-800 was bound for Kyiv from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport shortly after 6 a.m. local time, according to CNBC. Ali Kahshani, a senior public relations official at the airport, was quoted by Iran state media as saying mechanical difficulties were the most likely cause of the crash. Ukraine’s embassy in Iran initially issued a statement that ruled out terrorism. “According to preliminary information, the plane crashed ...

Stock Markets Jump to All-Time High After Trump's Iran Address Volume 90% By Joe Setyon Published January 8, 2020 at 11:16am At least two major stock market indices rose to all-time highs in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s speech to the nation Wednesday on Iran. Trump’s comments at the White House came one day after Iran fired roughly 15 ballistic missiles into Iraq. Eleven of them hit the Ain al-Asad Air Base and Irbil military base, which house U.S. troops, Fox News reported. A U.S. military spokesman for Central Command said four of the missiles missed their targets. But there were no U.S. casualties, Trump said, and the president appeared to ...

But that desire probably shouldn’t include, at least if you’re in Western media, the parroting of Iranian state-run media.

That’s exactly what MSNBC got called out for by many — including Donald Trump Jr. — in the wake of Iran’s reprisals. As it turns out, the missile attacks ...

In the Bay of Naples, Europe's most notorious giant is showing signs of reawakening from its long slumber. Campi Flegrei, a name that aptly translates as "burning fields", is a supervolcano. It consists of a vast and complex network of underground chambers that formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, stretching from the outskirts of Naples to underneath the Mediterranean Sea. About half a million people live in Campi Flegrei's seven-mile-long caldera, which was formed by vast eruptions 200,000, 39,000, 35,000 and 12,000 years ago. The past 500 years have been fairly peaceful ones for Campi Flegrei. There have been no eruptions at all since 1538, and that was a ...

Iranian Journalist Begs U.S. Media: Don’t Fall for Iranian Propaganda By Nicholas Fondacaro | January 6, 2020 10:33 PM EST “Don’t believe Iranian propaganda about the mourning for [General Qasem] Soleimani.” That’s the message or plea from Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad published by The Washington Post on Monday. Unfortunately, as NewsBusters reporting on the liberal media’s reaction to Soleimani’s demise has shown, they were not heeding her warning and were willingly becoming mouthpieces for the murderous regime. While the liberal media were running around and claiming Iranians were “united” against the United States by ...

Full-Scale War Is Avoided And Trump Goes Right Back To Warmongering
Post Date: 2020-01-09 10:42:51 by Ada

The United States and Iran entered into a direct military exchange for the first time ever with the drone assassination of General Qassem Soleimani last week and a retaliatory strike from Iran via surface-to-surface missiles upon two US military bases on Wednesday. As usual it was the less powerful nation who exercised restraint, with Iran skillfully targeting the bases’ military capabilities but taking measures to successfully avoid any casualties. The two nations de-escalated back down to their previous high level of dangerous hostilities with an understanding between them that neither side wants a full-scale war. Both sides played “chicken” and both sides swerved, and ...
Iraqi PM reveals Soleimani was on peace mission when assassinated, exploding Trump’s lie of ‘imminent attacks’ [Full Thread]

The Trump administration claimed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani was planning “imminent attacks” on US interests when it assassinated him. That lie was just destroyed, but not before countless corporate media outlets transmitted it to the public. Desperate to justify the US drone assassination of Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insisted that Washington had made an “intelligence-based assessment” that Soleimani was “actively planning in the region” to attack American interests before he was killed. President Donald Trump justified his fateful decision to kill the Iranian general in even more explicit language, declaring ...

Don't take the events that led to Soleimani's killing at face value. Vietnam may seem like a lifetime ago, but its failures and lies loom. Like the crucial steps toward public acceptance preceding the U.S. invasions of Vietnam and Iraq, the assassination of Qassem Soleimani was aimed at building popular support for war on Iran. Not only the justification, but the assassination itself were part of a broader strategy to grease the skids into war. The Soleimani ploy has apparently failed, however, thanks to the carefully prepared Iranian response, which did not provoke Donald Trump to raise the stakes further. At least not yet. The fingerprints of Pompeo are all over this ...

On January 8, 2020 Donald Trump addressed the world. I will be forced to listen to this man's speech so I can counter his lies with the truth. I have never sat through a Trump speech since he became President. But then I never do listen to presidents of the United States as they have very little real power. No Americans were harmed by Iranian missiles. Others say many were killed and injured. I will let that one go. He did say there was a warning and a dispersal of forces. Iran told Iraq the missiles were coming. Iraq informed the US. Iran showed restraint by not using fuel air explosives which would have killed thousands. I believe the US did not use their Patriot Missile ...
