Analysis of International Reactions to Iran
After
an Israeli-US aggression,
I thought I must not be hearing right.
Then came the French ambassador, "We are here to
condemn Iran's attack
on its neighboring states."
Then came the Danish ambassador, "We are here to
condemn Iran."
Then came the British ambassador, "We are here to condemn
Iran."
Then came the Greek ambassador, "We are here to condemn
Iran."
Even George Orwell could not have made this up.
This is the day that Iran was attacked.
Only three countries condemned
Israel and the United States for attacking.
Russia, China,
and I believe it was Somalia sitting in the seat for the African
countries.
Only three.
I had to think, "What is going on here?"
I'll tell you what's going on. It's very interesting.
Everyone that said that has an American military base on
their
soil.
They are not sovereign countries.
They dare not speak.
They host the US military. They host the CIA.
They watch their backs.
Bahrain, Greece, US, UK, France, Denmark,
Latvia, Colombia, and Panama.
Nine of the UN Security Council members host
US military facilities.
Two of them are called national, but with US rights.
The other seven are national US--
sovereign US military bases. And remember, the US has
the military in eighty countries in the world.
So I just want to explain, this is how the US empire works.
It doesn't necessarily take the territory of the other
country and put it on the map, though Donald Trump longs to
do so with Canada,
and I'll explain why in a moment.
But with the rest, they just put their military and CIA in.
That's enough
for governments not even to speak
when a brutal aggression takes place.
It makes the world very, very dangerous indeed
right now
because there's no honest discourse
