#1 is this the reason why we are escalating with Iran while doing NOTHING to Qatar?

I don't have any problem with Vladimir Putin. Russia is it's own country free to have whoever they want in power, and I think he was justified in sending the military in to Ukraine given they were killing the Russian speakers in the eastern breakaway provinces - especially as it was Russian territory for all of history until Kruschev.

so i don't see why we keep picking fights with russia. I like russia. Russia produced Tchaikovsky and Faberge eggs. They are civilised and have an ancient culture.

Leave them alone, the cold war was over when the wall came down. We should be supporting our christian orthodox brothers in the east against Islam which is the enemy of all.

#2 hello TW just read your very informative and excellent reply from yesterday

Interesting that some Bin Laden relatives fled to Iran. Are you sure about that? Bin Laden was in Pakistan when they jugged him

Pakistan: another country we aren't doing anything about.

Yes, I think the Saudis do want war with Iran but don't want to fight themselves, they want the US to do it for them.

It's easy to do, manipulate the leadership and then they order the military.

It's what Iran did by planting the "WMD" lie to get us to fight Saddam. They were involved in that psyop. I was shocked when I found out Iran had been involved in that trickery because I had believed the WMD line.

Saudi wants to fight Iran as the power centre of their religious Shia religious rival. They are fighting the shia in Yemen over the border right now. They are already in effect fighting "Iran" as they are Sunnis fighting Shia.

They just want to manipulate us into doing it for them. And they love that Israel gets ground up in the middle, because they want it wiped off the map as much as the Hamas does, because of Islam. Even when they pay lip service and sign off on recognising Israel, they want it gone.

Even if Iran is the problem and is whipping up all the trouble - and I'm quite prepared to believe this is so, they are a horrible theocracy, then still we should be attacking Qatar over October 7

What bugs me is the using of October 7 to change the target.

Even if Iran is a general problem in other ways, it was Muslim Brotherhood that did October 7, including Qatar so we have to get rid of THEM

#3 Some believed Saddam's WMD materials may have migrated to Syria just prior to the Gulf War. Perhaps the President of Iran is looking for a WMD sancturary as well.

#4 is this the reason why we are escalating

Australia is escalating?

#5 #4, It is my understanding Australia has backed off antagonizing China. Trade priority for Australia. Lg gas major export to China. I say leave Asia alone. Fascism rules here. Trade is the priority. Difficulties will be endured as long a commerce continues.

#6 Russia is at heart an uncivilized nation and an oriental despotism. To state that. "They are civilised and have an ancient culture," is to deny what Peter the Great accomplished in creating a veneer of civilization in the land of mazjiks.

#7 #7 That sounds like a quotation. Bismarck?

#8 I thought Bismarck wanted a strong relationship between [Imperial] Germany and [Czarist] Russia.

#9 hello TW just read your very informative and excellent reply from yesterday

I’m always glad to be useful, returning a small part of what I’ve learnt here.

Interesting that some Bin Laden relatives fled to Iran. Are you sure about that? Bin Laden was in Pakistan when they jugged him

Osama Bin Laden, a couple of wives and a few of his 25 children were found in Abbottabad, Pakistan, yes. But I am positive that many of his wives and children went to Iran. We have records all through the Rantburg archives. Responding to a posted article back in 2020, I summarized it all here, which should give you a starting point for your own searches. There is a Search Rantburg box above the list of most recent commenters on each of Rantburg’s main pages — go and learn, my dear.
