Sign Up Now!Yeah I didnt say you were.. just that its a fairly standard position to take for ANY group in poweer.. nobody gives a fuck for the little guy...What? I didn’t say it was.
However it’s a select group are killing women and children to hold on to it.
Did DOGE cutoff AlJezeera?Saw a great point, all the programs that provided for things like satellite access for iranians, persian language radio stations etc, and a swathe of other special programs were cut by theTrump administration, DOGE and that Keri Lake fuckhead.
Making any regime change or possibility of the people being to communicate impossible.
He said they should take over their government. Maybe he thinks they have fox news![]()
Isn't Al-Jazeera the media arm of the Qatari government? Pretty sure that channel is funded by the Qataris.Did DOGE cutoff AlJezeera?

Could be Al Borland for all we know.Cheers, I always that the "Al" in the front was some bloke called Al from Nebraska.
Im so glad you told me that I had NO idea....Could be Al Borland for all we know.
But jokes aside, Al-Jazeera is funded by the Qatar government and is their state broadcaster.
What worries me is the Kurds being sent in AND the possibility of another influx of weaponised migrants by Turkey... Things are looking dicey.So if the yanks and Israelis don't finish them off from the sky, the troops will?
I never said that.Im so glad you told me that I had NO idea....
It’s clear there is no long term plan here.What worries me is the Kurds being sent in AND the possibility of another influx of weaponised migrants by Turkey... Things are looking dicey.
Yes agree.
For the US - I think it's also politically convenient when they are struggling politically domestically atm. Look over here.
My issue is I don't think theres a lot of thought that has gone into the what next.
History shows that when you try to force this change, when the objectives are broad and unclearly defined, when the government has been stable (in Irans brutal way) and when you aren't committed to long term stabilisation efforts (assuming this to be true) then it doesn't often work. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya are examples of this.
There's going to be a power vacuum and that's likely to get filled by the same regime or it's throwing a dart. Who knows what happens.
My concern is what this means for Australia. What happens to rules based order. China just got a big boost in their aspirations for Taiwan. Where does this all lead? We're sitting on a lot of attractive resources here.
We probably need to start re-thinking how we defend ourselves.
