The Far West Continues ?

Flag of Iran

Since last Saturday, we have been witness to joint Israeli-US attacks on Iran, which killed the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, over 100 little girls, and others. At the beginning of the week, the US also engaged in a joint military effort with Ecuador against narcotrafics in Ecuador and carried out air strikes. We also know about the deployment of some 200 American troops in Nigeria. Yesterday, the American president announced that Cuba would be next. Brothers and sisters… there is no letting up! To each one of us, this is a signal to stay alert!

Flag of Venezuela

As it stands now, what the US has done with the blatant removal of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, and now the murder of the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran (during Ramadan) has united the people of the global South in general and Muslims of all board in particular, against the United States. How long can a giant stay (over)stretched? The people of Iran are fighting for survival… while the United States are fighting to help a friend (Israel)… there is a difference! The geology of the Iranian territory makes it an almost impenetrable fortress. Remember that this is the same Iran which fought tirelessly against Iraq’s Western-backed invasion. Why does the West think that it is okay to decide for the people of a country? Why not let them decide for themselves: throw out whoever they want whenever they want without western intervention? Wouldn’t it be arrogant to want to change their condition without their participation? Who is to say what is good! We all know Western media lied about Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, claiming he was killing his own people, and that the Libyan people needed democracy… look what is left of Libya now! Is there one Libyan out there (except puppets) who can look at their country now and applaud the NATO attacks?

We will note that, as always, the West cannot be trusted. Iran was at the table of negotiations on Friday and got bombed the next day! This is so reminiscent of so many situations in the world: the recent DRC-Rwanda peace agreement treaty where the country is still occupied and attacked by Rwandan-backed M23, and countless others. Would you blame Iran for not wanting to sit at a negotiation table?
