At last, the evil of the British Empire brought to light. England has blood on its hands for the global wars of the 20th century. The English start the fight, then flee: Africa, middle East, India, the Caribbean, Palestine, and of course Ireland. They always claim clean hands and the world lets them.

I feel like most of the issues we see today either leads to the wrongdoings of the British empire in the past or the US

THIS shoud be on the front page of every newspaper and newcast! “Why do we live in the dumbest timeline in the world where the guy from ‘Home Alone 2’ has mounted a possibly armageddon-starting war that didn’t need to be fought on behalf of an indicted war criminal from Tel Aviv, and now they don’t know how to end the war because they’re too stupid, they’re too dumb, they’re too stubborn, they’re too violent?”

Who knew getting the doomsday news from a trusted source like Zeteo would make it less dreadful almost soothing like the band playing as the titanic sank even as the other outlets are trying to make sense of the shrieks and cacophony coming out of this adminstration

National Security Is Cheeto’s Cheap Answer

Have you noticed that every time Cheeto makes a statement about some foreign policy or decision he does it by making it about national security?

As Cheeto recently said, “We(Nazi Republicans) needed to go to war with Iran because they had a nuclear bomb(remember when Cheeto said his megabomb “obliterated” Iranian nuclear capability) and they were ready to bomb the USA” Since that time he has consistently said that he had to attack Iran because of the nuclear bomb capability and that high gas prices are worth it because we prevented Iran from getting a nuclear bomb

Of course the whole mass deportation policy is built around national security The worst among us are a national security threat so therefore deport all immigrants makes little sense but overall the central theme is how can Cheeto make the country safe

Even Cheeto’s desire to expand the country’s fingerprint in the Western hemisphere by wanting to take over Greenland, decapitating Venezuela leadership by kidnapping Maduro, considering invading Cuba This is all done for “national security”

Now of course because of the war expenses for national security Cheeto says it’s not possible for the Federal government to fund Medicare and Medicaid(https://bit.ly/4sBjKdv)

Great quote from Jack Straw about putting out fires started by the British years ago.

The Republicans who enable him are aware of all of his mental problems, but if they admit this, or that they made a mistake supporting him, it acts as barrier for their agenda to continue. The agenda that's really project 2025.

I'm so glad you are bringing attention to the vile, and ongoing responsibility of British emp all over the worldfor the dire state of the people of Palestine in particular and the too many other countries warped by Britain. Even countries they "freed", they still held powerful economic power over. Money never goes away. The british empire has never actually taken retirement

he Strait of Hormuz is on the tongue of everyone, but not the Strait of Malacca. It is not hard to understand. The US-Israel war have made things so bad as Iran vows retaliation after US attacked and seized a cargo ship. Asia-Pacific was hit hard and quick by the war in Iran and its energy bottlenecks. Scenes of crisis there indicate that problems are multiplying and spreading to the Strait of Malacca a narrow stretch of water, 900 kilometers [560 miles] long and from 65 to 250 km [40 to 155 miles] wide, between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra connecting the Indian Ocean) and the Pacific Ocean: themain shipping channel between these. two oceans, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. Over about 94.000 vessels pass through the strait each year making it the busiest strait in the world, carrying about 25 per cent of the world's traded goods, including oil, Chinese manufactured products, coal, palm oil and Indonesian coffee. As of 2024, over 35 per cent of oil transported by sea and 20 per cent of gas flowed through the strait. Because of the high volume of traffic, modern piracy and smuggling is a concern. The strait has historically been a contested area, with regional powers. Subsequent prosperous states controlling the strait include Malacca Sultanate, the Johor Sultanate, the British Straits Settlements, and the city-state of Singapore. The Chinese Muslim Admiral Chang Ho sailed through this strait reaching the east coast of Africa. JG Farrell's 'Singapore Grip' describes Singapore's pivotal role from which the British empire extended control of the region, a role Jon Chu's comedy 'Crazy Rich Asians' playfully showed. Here, the US holds strong cards in the same way Iran does in the eastern Mediterranean. Washington is allied with Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore the gateway to oceans and the Strait of Malacca. Here, the US can monitor or seize 'phantom ships' transporting Irani oil to the Far East, in a wide range of military and economic concerns, bolstering it failing war against Iran.
