    What appears to be millions attending Soleimani’s funeral procession in Ahvaz, an Iranian city usually described by mainstream media as “restive”, and hence hardly a Soleimani stronghold. Trump doesn’t know what is awaiting him across the Middle East

    Americans are so inundated in their weird toxic machismo culture that the mere idea of a man crying in public is alien to them. Khamenei cries on various occasions. Iraq’s Grand Ayatollah Najafi cried leading Soleimani’s prayer. Nasrallah choked up in his commiseration as well.

    A thread: Soleimani's slaying wasn't a mere "turning point" between Iran and US, but a "new phase for the whole region" as Nasrallah called it. It's a moment as pivotal as the US invasion of Iraq, only this time, the war is against an entire alliance rather than a single country

    4. The statement fails to mention the other individuals killed alongside Suleimani. Collateral? Probably. Unlawful. Absolutely.

    statement on targeted killing of : 1. It mentions that it aimed at “deterring future Iranian attack plans”. This however is very vague. Future is not the same as imminent which is the time based test required under international law. (1)

    'Cultural Marxism' is a term that is rooted in an anti-semitic conspiracy theory concocted by the Nazis. Reactionaries use it to denigrate socialism. This dude claims to want to radicalise liberals. If that's still true the title of this book is absolutely awful (1/2)

    Just to be clear: that Star Wars lesbian kiss scene was cut for showings in Singapore. It was NOT cut in China. I have no idea how you could confuse the two, unless you regard "the East" as some huge monolithic block, which you just refer to as "China."

    Should this fascist man receive an honour that makes him a “Knight” of an empire guilty of genocide and untold massacres around the world? This is the kind of discourse that is only possible in a deeply and systemically racist country.

    There's speculation that Nigel Farage could be awarded a knighthood. Do you think he deserves this honour?

    8. Since French former colonies, already poor countries, are left with 15% of their own resources to function, they then go back to France for debts. And the colonizer will give them debts from their own money on commercial rates. I swear WE ARE COLONIZED
