Positions
Iran-Israel War 2026 · 2026-03-03
This is American imperialism laundered through Israeli security concerns. The US and Israel have been destabilizing the Middle East for decades, and now they want to bomb Iran because Iran dared to build a deterrent against the country that actually has nukes and actually bombs its neighbors. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Ukraine War · 2023-02-24
This is a US proxy war. We're sending Ukrainians to die to bleed Russia. The US doesn't care about Ukrainian sovereignty - it cares about weakening a rival. If we cared about sovereignty we wouldn't have invaded Iraq. This is about maintaining American hegemony, and Ukrainians are paying the price with their lives.
