Canada & Iran

[August1991]

Not my problem.

I mean this. There are some 7 billion people in the world.

Defeating the Soviets, Communists & Nazis - you have my attention.

Defeating Iranian fanatics - maybe.

they can only be defeated internally

attempts by western powers to interfere will only strengthen the regime

that is what they need to survive, foreign enemies to rally the people against

it's like America trying to interfere in Canada, that just makes Canadians rally around the regime here

who did Justin Trudeau invoke as the cause of similar protests in Canada ?

oh its the Republicans trying to overthrow the government in Ottawa

the regime in Tehran will play that exact same card

I saw a headline in the National Post the other day:

Trudeau Bungees As Iran Burns

still LMAO

I got rid of cable, stopped watching the MSM altogether, and I don't have a smart phone

so I mostly don't even notice what the corporate media is trying to sell anymore

carefully curated stories to distract from Canada's own inept, corrupt & dictatorial regime

Good for you Dougie.  I would love to cut the cords as well.  Many of us (most of us) are drugged by Social Media and MSM and seldom look away from our phones and up into the sky anymore.

you just notice the stark difference

everybody who is plugged into the MSM is getting whipped up into a frenzy by what they are being sold

while if you're not watching, you're not feeling it,

you're not whipped up into hysteria, you're just doing your own thing, focused on your own life

Dougie, I completely agree.

Biden's foolish war with Putin & Russia is completely different from Reagan's war with the Soviets.

 

[August1991]

I dunno.

I met Gorbachev and Bush Snr in person. I saw others as we all do by video. 

Reagan won. For Reagan, it was not ego. For Gorbachev, it was ego.

With Biden, it's ego.

These idiots in Washington DC believe that they can control the world.

You Americans won the Cold War.

Germany is united, Vietnamese can buy and sell freely.

====

Yet, while Europeans fight again, you Americans take a side and make matters worse.

America: Look at what the Swedes did in past European Wars.

As a Canadian, advice to Americans: Do not get involved in Civil Wars.

I know that you Americans mean well. But I fear that you Americans will only make things worse.

When you Democrats want to change the world, remind yourselves that Clinton got along with Yeltsin. 

Be Happy!

Wny is Iran and Ukraine in the news?

=====

Nowadays, what happens in either country is of zero risk to anyone in Canada or the US.

Not our business.

The whole world including Canada would be much safer and more prosperous if this regime of terror  is gone to hell by its own people.

This regime of child killer and rape and mass murder of its own citizens will soon have its murderous hands on nuclear weapons and will do much more than military aid to other murderous regimes like Putin and Assad. It will be a direct military threat to the West. 

Iran has the richest resources in the world having one of the largest oil and gas and copper as well as light and heavy industries and a very rich human resources. A free democratic Iran and trade with Iran will be good for every country and every citizen in the world.  

A nation has been taken hostage by a group of murderous terrorists calling themselves Shiia clergy hated by the nation so much that every day citizens led by women pour into streets empty handed against the most brutal armed to teeth security force to free their land and themselves from this barbaric Islamic occupation. It is a humane thing to support them in any way we can.

Canada arguably has to uphold its NATO obligations in the face of Russian aggression

but against Iran, there is absolutely nothing binding Canada to intercede

As for Ukraine, because Russia is a threat for Europe and Western democracy. Russia must be stopped and defeated in Ukraine before advancing further in Europe because if they succeed then it will will North America on his agenda.

As for Iran, apart from being on the side of humanity and women's right I would say for the same reason that the free world against Communism for most of last centuries. Communism was a dictatorship controlling and destroying people's lives. They wanted to dominate the world by force and rule by force and destroy and destruct. Islam is very similar in many aspects and for the same reason is a danger to Western democratic way of life and our way of life and Iran is like the Soviet Union last century not yet militarily as powerful but a lot more dangerous to world democracy.

You are very wrong if you think what is happening in Ukraine or Iran is of zero risk to Canada. That is what I said three years ago when I said what was happening in Wuhan China (Covid) was no risk to me in the fall of 2019.
