About Channel:
Richard Medhurst is an independent journalist from the United Kingdom whose work focuses on US politics, international relations and the Middle East.
All missiles were intercepted, Iran told Qatar ahead of time, and the Qataris appear to have passed that along to the US base in their borders. So basically a lot of chest beating. And thankfully Trump didn’t take the bait.
It seems to be just the start.
Israel and the United States started this conflict; we will see if Iran can finish it.
Hopefully they hit more, there isn’t a single good side here. Iran sucks, Isreal sucks, and America sucks. Fuck all of them.
It is the United States whose aggression is the ‘bad guy’ in the major conflicts (wars) going on right now.
Iraq 2.0, WMD
We fund genocide after genocide in the Middle East, and our past is as bad or worse; we took over this role from the British Empire.
Make sure to check out the military leaks and the lies that have been told for the past three decades, and much further back when it comes to the creation of ‘Israel.’
Kinda sad that people still think “US still doesn’t suck as bad as Iran”. Open your eyes people…
