IMPERIALISM

The manufacturing of imperialist wars is a “normal” operation for the American media. 
The Gulf Wars initiated by the Bush dynasty were both (as were other imperial wars of the same period) sold to the US public on the basis of carefully orchestrated propaganda campaigns based on filthy lies. Executives and owners of PR fims like Hill & Knowlton, long the image cleansers of crooks, despots and tyrants, not to mention genocidal criminals, and imperialism itself, across the globe, should be indicted for war crimes and punished accordingly.

SEYED MOHAMMAD MARANDI—Regional regimes such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia that facilitate aggression in any way or form should expect the swift destruction of their oil assets and critical infrastructure. On the other hand, all-out war would mean the obliteration of all oil and gas installations as well as ships on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz.

PETER KOENIG—Once the world gets sick and tired of the grotesque diktats of Washington and the sanction schemes for those who do no longer want to go along with the oppressive rules of the US, they will be eager to jump on another boat, or boats – abandoning the dollar and valuing their own currencies. Meaning trading with each other in their own currencies – and that outside of the US banking system which so far even controls trading in local currencies, as long as funds have to be transferred from one nation to another via SWIFT.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—The only way Reza Pahlavi could be half the patriot, leader, and sincerely religious Shia he claims to be would be to follow the example of someone like the last emperor of China, Pu Yi. Revolutionary China reformed Pu Yi from a self-centered autocrat who considered himself divine into someone who tried to be a genuinely good person. He was not executed in 1949 — he served 10 years in jail, and then was given a regular job as a street sweeper and gardener. He regularly spoke out in support of the democratic choice of the Chinese people, and he sincerely seemed to realize that monarchy is antiquated, immoral, and unwanted.
