"The US intentionally denied Russia its own Monroe Doctrine. Did you ever wonder why only the US has a “Monroe Doctrine” and if any other large country like Russia wants their own safe zone like the Monroe Doctrine offers, US media says they are crazy and unrealistic? The US demands North, South and Central America all to itself, no Russian or Chinese military forces, but if Russia wants the same buffer around itself, it must be only deeply delusional or paranoid? After the US led Ukraine Coup of 2014, Ukraine clearly became hostile to Russia (with “four high-ranking members who be legitimately labeled neofascists”).
"Imagine if Russia financed a successful Coup in Mexico which became openly hostile to the US – imagine Russia using “rocket installations in Mexico to conduct live-fire training exercises to practice destroying military targets inside America?” Would the US have any legitimate reason to feel provoked? Of course, the US would demand those installations be removed. Simple. No country can install missiles on our hemisphere, but we can put them wherever we want? This is high-school bully justice, or American foreign policy style. As Putin said in 2021, “Are we putting our rockets on the borders of the United states? No, we’re not. It’s the US with its rockets coming to our doorstep.”

On this most sacred day of the Christian faith, a US president who claims to be a Christian issues a threat to a nation of 94 million people, including over 500,000, Christians—threatening to commit war crimes (pursuant to Geneva Convention) against their civilian infrastructure.
"Behold the puerile, B-movie gangster style of his prose and his use of the word “F..kin’”—now the most overused word in the English language and the clearest expression of our degenerate culture.
"Upon seeing this post, I immediately thought of Madison’s reflections on the evil of war.
"The same malignant aspect . . . may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both.
"On this Easter Sunday, I pray that the innocent civilians of Iran will be spared from the sadistic and demented wrath of “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.
Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.
Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.
In Mr. Trump's speech to the nation, Paul...
Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.
One internet observer:
"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?
"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.
"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."
