  • US Secretary of State Rubio says Iran not negotiating on missiles a 'big problem'

    From channelnewsasia.com

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned on Wednesday (Feb 25) that Iran must negotiate on its missile programme, a day after President Donald Trump alleged Tehran was working on rockets that could hit the United States. "I would say that the Iranian insistence on not discussing ballistic missiles is a big, big problem," Rubio told reporters on the eve of new talks between the United States and Iran. Rubio, however, steered clear of describing whether the talks in Geneva would be a make-or-break moment in deciding if the United States attacks Iran. "The president wants diplomatic solutions. He prefers them greatly," ... (full story)

America is no one's ally it's just a bad joke in this day and age with a declining economy, a debt of 39 trillion and a pedophile with his hand on the nuclear button. And most importantly no one is afraid of this outdated army anymore. Before Gerald Ford arrives at his destination he will first sink under the weight of his own shit!!

It's funny you think the football game between Dems and GOP has anything to do with wealth transfer. Regardless of who sits in the White House, the transfer of wealth is from the 99% to the 1%. Everyone works their entire lives to pay double the asking price of their home to a bank. Then they die, the house is sold, and the cycle begins again.

Vehicle debt, education debt, health debt, even the national debt, all those payments funnel the wealth of working people into just a few pockets. Neither party wants to change this, they don't even pretend they want to change it. You are supposed to fuss about taxes and culture war bullshit that doesn't matter at all. These things keep people riled and squabbling so they won't ever get together and put a stop to their own exploitation.

My post was more or less rhetorical written, pointing out that both countries have moron leaders who do anything to stay in power by suppressing people.

So I have no idea what you try to tell me with your reaction. But all fine.


Governments/leaders should be affraid for their people.

If the people are affraid for their governments/leaders (as many people are in America and Iran now) something is very wrong.

Americans are sick of being railroaded with high taxes and ripoff trades deals destroying the middle class. You are a foolish and naive person.

You accused the Islamic republic of killing its own people, I pointed out that those killed were armed insurrectionist backed by foreign governments who want to install the son of a deposed monarchists, hardly to the benefit of the people.

Neither murika nor Islamic republic are threatened by their people, murika is threatened by fundamentals, as in their hegemony on the world is gripping and are desperate, the Islamic republic is threatened by foreign powers who want to loot the countries wealth by installing a puppet.

Iran, like murika is run institutionally, not one man decides all, thats just misinformation for the gullible.

Ayatollah is a spiritual leader, he is 86 y/o and literally live a modest life.

Orange clown is a front politician who lives the opposite of a modest life.

Both front their institutions and are not running their countries.

Iran, like murika - tells its people, let us run the show and in exchange we will improve your life - so does every government on earth - no government is afraid of its people - its just some are more righteous and others are war criminals who invade foreign countries and loot their wealth so bankers can provide them with some shekels.

Dear friend, hello I apologize for the misunderstanding that occurred. All people on this planet love their country and flag and are worthy of respect. At that time, when Iran was shining with its ancient civilization of 2500 years, a country called America was established. A land that was forcibly taken from the Indians and natives of that land. I am sorry that my compatriot is upset about the interference of an adventurous and crazy president, and this is a national and natural issue for Iranians. Although we are disturbed and upset by the internal situation of the country, it is not a reason to abandon our land and flag. The meaning of the word Iranian is "the land of the brave nobles" We will not abandon our land and homeland in any way and will not allow any madman to interfere or cause the slightest damage to it. We are not and will not be warmongers or terrorists in any way. We are only the defenders of our dear and beautiful Iran. We will water this beautiful cat with our blood. Like our ancestors.

Aaah, that famous america tactic Thye are doing hard to halt the Iranin nuclear program, but now want to have contro of their missiles?? hehe...

If these talks are there, then it means they are efing scared that their ships will be obliterated ...In fact, Iran possess some mssiles that are capably of sinking US warships, and they're about to get even more teeth

Here's the part that has the Pentagon sweating bullets: Iran is reportedly close to sealing a deal with China for CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles !!!

If Iran gets their hands on these things, those US carrier strike groups sitting in the Arabian Sea stat looking like floating targets...If these talks fail and Trump decides to get "tough"... those ships better have their defenses on full alert.
