There seems to be very little free Iran supporters knocking about the place with the current uprising of ordinary people taking to the streets there to demand change.

This is the one country in the world perhaps where a regime change would stabalise many other flare ups in the region.

Is it not cool to say Free Iran or is it the usual suspects only care about one small area of that region.

The Paid Protesters are too busy with Venezuela and Minnesota right now but I'm sure they'll get around to Iran and Nigeria some day. These "free thinking joker botts" are all sitting around waiting to be told what to be mad about. lol.

If the west gets involved then you'll see Murphy, Wallace, Boyd etc all get their pants in a twist.

The world appears to be on fire right now. It's a tipping point when one wrong interpretation or mistake could trigger all out war. Unfortunately we don't have adults in the highest office. Worrying times ahead.

It's no worse than any other time in the last few decades. The only difference is that Trump is standing up to China and Russia instead of selling out to them. That's why you have all the noise about Greenland and the Panama Canal. Just slapping back China is all he's doing. Now the Columbian President is visiting Trump after first threatening him. Chill out.

Trump may be standing up to certain individuals but his motive isn't for the good of American citizens many of whom are completely brainwashed. Just look at his response to the murder if an American mother in her car. Disgraceful is putting it mildly. I fear for America…it's completely broken and Trump and his lot are to blame for a huge part of it.

Also threatening a fellow NATO member in Denmark is bad politics. It's big bully Pax Americana.

"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."

If only we had Kennedy in the White House now. Trump isn't a patch on him even if he rename buildings with Kennedy's name in it.

All this nonsense with Trump pushing the world closer and closer to widespread war every day all to avoid getting flack for not releasing the Epstein files, what must be in those files?

Or when the LPT was bestowed on us a few years ago it was taken on the chin, since then the LPT has grown into a second mortgage and increasing at speed, what is the benefits from it other than being the proud owner of a second mortgage.

I don't care what your politics is. The response from Trump and Vance to what happened in Minneapolis is nothing short of an utter disgrace. Vance has more or less said that the man involved will have absolute immunity from any prosecution. Stratospheric farce.
