From markets to streets: Iran protests spread nationwide on day two

no gay bar update yet.

 

The Israelis and the US sure want a war, but it looks like "a no". Iran is gaining in strength and Israel is afraid after it is gradually coming out how much damage was done in the recent 12 day war. Trump, with declining popularity, only likes quick hitters with no prolonged conflict.

More of the news not reported by the NYT (allegedly liberal) and the rest of the mainstream media as they propagandize non-stop for war on Iran for Israel's sake. American politicians and especially Trump are pretty much giving their marching orders by the Israel government and its lobby in the US.

On January 20, just one day after our article, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly confirmed,...

In an interview at Davos, Secretary Bessent explained in detail how US Treasury sanctions were deliberately designed to drive Iran’s currency to collapse, cripple its banking system, and drive Iran’s population into the streets. This is the “maximum pressure” campaign to deny Iran access to international finance, trade, and payment systems. Bessent explained:

President Trump ordered Treasury and our OFAC division, Office of Foreign Asset Control, to put maximum pressure on Iran. And it’s worked, because in December, their economy collapsed. We saw a major bank go under; the central bank has started to print money. There is dollar shortage. They are not able to get imports, and this is why the people took to the street.
This is the explicit causal chain whereby US sanctions caused the currency to collapse and the banking system to fail. This monetary instability led to import shortages and economic suffering, causing the unrest. Bessent concluded by characterizing the US’ actions as “economic statecraft,” and Iran’s economic collapse as a “positive” development:

 

please expain why you hate jews and love mullahs.

 

Hey I could be wrong. Basso of course practically orgasms over the thought of war. See pages 8-9 especially on this thread to see the obsession.

 

not tonight.

 

If you are the Pentagon, do you make random pizza purchases to throw people off the scent? Decide to order some party subs the nights of big decisions to pre-empt pizza purchases?

 

Nah, all the bootlickers and brown shirts are at the Kennedy Center tonight supporting what I am sure is Melania's candy coated documentary, that probably leaves out the fun they had hanging with Epstein and his social circle of pedos, and the crap she has to put up with as a trophy wife and golddigger.

 

true story: i got engaged on the roof of the Kennedy Center, or "The KC" as we called it.

 

Good post. Watch poor Basso. Like his hero, Trump he's not quite sure why he wants war. For Basso: the Iranians are just bad, . Khameini is evil, and an old reliable he loves the Iranian people. i'm not sure Basso has mentioned it, in this thread but he is probably is in favor of ethnic cleansing and genocide for Paelstinians.

Maybe in the end, Basso is just bored and it will make his online life a bit more interesting till the next war.

Pizza jokes, Another example of a sick armchair war fan just having fun with a war.

What if say an American aircraft carrier was sunk with a loss of a couple of thousand American soldiers killed?
