Meanwhile in Canada

Turns out you can't end wars in 24 hours by tweeting demands.

Putin, Netanyahu, and Khamenei remain as determined as ever to do whatever they want. Trump is an international laughing stock as always.

25% of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's parliament voted to block the Strait.

Corporations will use the opportunity for price hikes on everything.

A handful of sociopaths are ruining the planet for 8 billion people.

I was noting the irony yesterday that Trump wants to get rid of EV's (except Nazi ones) but here he is promoting EV use by the most extreme measures imaginable. 🤡

@krutonium @MeanwhileinCanada more likely though, it will encourage the development of more oil fields in national parks and nature reserves. #DrillBabyDrill

@MeanwhileinCanada Iran's parliament may have voted on resolution to OK the blockimg of Strait of Hormuz, but such decision can only be actualy taken by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, so parliament voting doesn't signify it will happen.

Just another inside job.
The plan is to roam free and go for it until death.There is no alternative, you have to kill him.

No need for big plans, just mass, gas-masks, full thick armor, storm the building, spare the security that doesn't shoot, kill the ones that shoot, get him and lynch him to death. Film it. Set a nice example, be the USA once again.

Good, bad, virtuous, righteous, that's a point for another time. It works, that's for sure and that's the only thing that counts for now. So fuck it ?

Chiquita Must Pay for Its Crimes in Latin America

It’s been 70 years since the CIA-backed coup in Guatemala ousted President Jacobo Árbenz. He was punished for standing up to Chiquita — but today, the firm might finally be held to account for its ties to a far-right paramilitary group in Colombia.
