Starting to think that the US has a deliberate scorched earth attitude to Middle Eastern oil and gas

Makes you proud! #Socialistsunday

Trump; "We don't need to make a deal to leave Iran." Daaaaamn, that's embarrassing. Iran has had its oil sanctions lifted, is in control of Hormuz and has been leaving its tag all over Tel Aviv and Dubai

Just wait, they said. It'll trickle down. Well, we waited and it didn't. They're hoarding. Happy #marxistMonday comrades.

Rubio gives an exclusive interview to Al Jazeera? My my my, how the centre of power has moved to the gulf 🤣

The absolute madness of basing the entire worlds agricultural and transport systems on a single resource - hydrocarbons - with an extremely fragile and centralised supply chain, and virtually no reserves. Capitalism is a death cult.

If the entire oil infrastructure of the middle east is destroyed it is the US's economic rivals in Asia who will suffer the most, despite it also causing chaos in the West. Given that the US has been slowly losing the economic race with China, maybe they are mad enough to do it.

They can't stop Iran firing missilies, which means they can't secure any industry in the region, including oil & gas. They can't possibly win a ground invasion, every general will be telling them this. So they can either quit in defeat or nuke a city. Only two choices left. Worrying!

"Oppressive, patriarchal, muslim men force their wives to vote for hippie woman led by gay jewish man" was never a very convincing story

WW3 seems to be back on again then. The emotional roller coaster, even after the Gaza genocide, is intense.

Mindset of the rich "If I have this thing that no one else can have then I want it, because that makes me special. If everyone can have it I'm not interested, regardless of its use or inherent value."

Until the industrial revolution Salmon was considered peasant food and lacked the status of foods like Beef because anyone could just pluck it out of a river. Only when the Salmon numbers were decimated by the pollution of industrialisation did its price go up and the rich become interested

The West see's every other country as either a resource colony or an enemy (which needs to be crushed into being a resource colony.) Every state that refuses to be a resource colony is a target, and once you see that it becomes futile to critique them, because they don't exist in isolation.

Hahahahaha! "Trump extends attack deadline by ten days" Bluff. Called.

"Do not call your defeat an agreement, the era of your promises is over. Today the world has two fronts; truth, and falsehood. Has the level of your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?" 🤣

Every time the US and Israel hit something important in Iran it hits them back in something equally as important. This is totally new for the West. People arn't supposed to be able to fight back. How long before they learn to understand this action/reaction cycle? FAFO for the hard of understanding

80% is probably an underestimate

UK newspapers; "IRANIAN TERROR IN OUR STREETS!!!!!!" Jesus f**king wept, please at least try and be convincing

If Trumps ends up having to lift all sanctions on Iran - which would be a massive humiliating defeat - then he's going to absolutely blanket bomb Cuba to try and regain the US's military dignity

Neoliberalism in action

You didn't know you needed Leonardo Khomanei in your life, but you do!!!

"Surrender in 48hrs or we'll destroy your power grid." - "Do that and we'll destroy the world power grid. Get fucked." "Ok, you've got a 5 day extension." Pathetic

80% is probably an underestimate

People don't want to go to the cinema and be entertained by a raging genocidal Nazi, what is the world coming to?

It has never ceased to amaze me how so many people can be tricked into hating people who have never done them any harm. -Assata Shakur #marxistmonday

Trump just lost the WW3 game of chicken

Che knows racism: The US government is not the champion of freedom but rather the perpetrator of exploitation and oppression against the peoples of the world, and against a large part of its own population. -Che Guevara #marxistmonday

Solidarity with Cuba this #Marxistmonday

Workers of the world unite... Happy #MarxistMonday 🙂

Money lines go "WEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

This #Marxistmonday could be one of those major turning points of history; if Trump blows up Iran's power plants they will knock-out the Gulf oil industry, changing the world real economy permanently. If he doesn't - and the bluff is called - US dominance is finished and Iran wins.

Laure Kuess is upset that her meal ticket isn't winning this war. Tee hee

Israel admits it has been hit with 32 ballistic missiles in the last three weeks

This is not about IED's or militant attacks on stupidly placed ground forces, this is about retaliatory missile strikes against gas fields, nuclear sites and other targets as an eye for an eye.

Iranian missiles have struct Dimona, the town in Israel which definitely does not host Israel's totally illegal, undeclared and uninspected nuclear weapons program

I've reverse snorted a chunk of gerkin into my nose cavity from my mouth, providing both discomfort and a world that permanently smells of pickle. Being human is really f**king weird

Iran shot missilies at Diego Garcia - 4000kms away - for the simple reason that the US will now need to deploy patriot air defence batteries to every base within 4000km of Iran, spreading the limited supply very very thinly
