While global stocks have largely sustained the relief rally that followed Monday’s wild swings, fear is again resurfacing as Iran vowed to step up its missile strikes.
President Donald Trump’s assurance that the war with Iran was “very complete” and could be “over soon” initially injected optimism into markets, even as Iranian hardliners rallied behind new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and said their blockade of oil would continue.
Within hours of Trump’s statements, Iran’s military dashed markets’ hopes. “We are the ones who will determine the end of the war,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said.
Such comments brought the exchange back to a familiar tempo with Trump then threatening to hit Iran “TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.”
Bigotry is pretty popular, I’m aware. Great job running with that torch. It is extremely shitty.
The state of mind of a bigot; obstinate and unreasoning attachment of one’s own belief and opinions, with narrow-minded intolerance of beliefs opposed to them. I’m a leftist believe it or not, I care about people, I believe in equality, all those lovely words you lot use when forcing “democracy” on other countries. But the actions of your government has put my family in direct danger, again, so what I’m portraying isn’t bigotry, it’s I’ve had enough of your shit and I hope you get a taste of your own medicine. Countless republican wars waged on the middle east all based on lies and resources that have killed hundred of thousands, directly and indirectly. Welcome to the real world, where people eventually resent you, much like an abusive toxic relationship.
Unless they are American. A lot of us have been opposing half the shit this country does for the past few decades we’ve been alive. But go on, hate us and blame us too. That’s what bigotry is. You already know me because I’m American. Let the hatred flow through you.
And how has your protesting gone, have you held your government (s) accountable. FFS you can’t even apprehend pedofiles!! Your entire system is rotten to the core and Trump is just the end result. So yes, some of you are protesting, but that counts for fuck all when your successive governments carry on as usual. AT least Bush made a pretense of WMD? Trump just barks to Israeli commands. You are represented on the world stage by your government, and your government is rotten. It is rigged against the average American and a large chunk of you are stupid enough to fall for the Reaganomics of trickle down, which has given rise to the billionaire class who are now dictating domestic and foreign policy. Take a lesson from Europe and especially the French on how to deal with a hostile government. It’s pathetic.
It’s pathetically stupid also to conflate a government with its powerless citizens.
Up to a point, after decades of the same, it looks like this is America. Citizens are not powerless, you’ve been made to believe that by the oligarchs, general strikes should be the norm by now if such a majority of you are against this but instead we have Lindsey Graham bleating on about how much money America will make. The fact that Israel has universal healthcare and you guys don’t because “socialism” is very telling considering you’re the ones paying for it. I’m sorry but America on the world stage is ALL of you.
There isn’t a discussion here. You’re a bigot and I’ve told you that. This is just you trying to justify it, but that cannot happen
And you are an enabler. Thanks to your inability over decades to stop wars decided by a terrorist apartheid state, you have once again allowed the middle east to burn.
Are you gonna tell us how many wars you have stopped now?
bigot
