Iran is still seen as the baddies because the leadership fears the country being conquered or at least attacked or are they perceived by the "West" as evil, uncivilised war mongers?

The threats they drop on the west ain't helping. Israel wants a crack at them if there is any hint of nuclear weapons.
 
The Clintons, Bush, Obama and now Trump, all wanted in on the middle east. Lately they Syria has been the target. Trump lost a lot of his base by bombing Syria.

What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker"

A little off topic perhaps, but something about a recent post, reminded of a particularly prophetic passage.
Courtesy of somebody, or other, who really knew some stuff:

I have a fairy by my side
Which says I must not sleep,
When once in pain I loudly cried
It said "You must not weep"
If, full of mirth, I smile and grin,
It says "You must not laugh"
When once I wished to drink some gin
It said "You must not quaff".

When once a meal I wished to taste
It said "You must not bite"
When to the wars I went in haste
It said "You must not fight".

"What may I do?" at length I cried,
Tired of the painful task.
The fairy quietly replied,
And said "You must not ask".

Moral: "You mustn't."

Daniel Ellsberg @Google.

The Doomsday Machine, war, colonialism, American (covert) imperialism, nuclear war plans.

Dr. Strangelove was a documentary. Funny and scary.

Threat started in the 1950s, according to Ellsberg.

Various other documented facts showed that there have been about a dozen saves over the decades. As in the protocol order a strike but the guy in the room with the button refused to have it pushed.

According to Ellsberg, who was a Pentagon nuclear war planner... the somewhat outdated war plans between the US and Russia would kill about 99% of life on earth.

There's a study of nukes between Pakistan and India dropping a hundred or so... tat would only kill about 2 billion.
 
I'm going broke leaving money in the bank a 2.5% waiting for a decent correction to jump in on.
 
Need a roof full of solar panels, front lawn in veggies, chooks and a stil out the back, a bomb shelter below and a good water tank.

Oh, and a 20 foot solid concrete fence with electric lightning spikes at the top and water proof against the rising tides.

Great man Daniel Ellsberg. I don't know how much members on ASF know about his life but checking out his story on Wiki is captivating. Many comparisons with our current situation.

One of the rare patriot and humanitarian. The two tend not to go together but somehow a man like Ellsberg fit that ideal vision of a patriot who devote his protect his country and held its leadership to that moral high ground.

Contrast that to a psycho like Bibi... in the compilation below, pushing for war with Iran since... ever.

Bibi (2000?): I guarantee you that if you take out Saddam's regime there will be enormous, enormous positive reverberation throughout the region.

Fark me. Didn't work out that way did it. Some 2 million Iraqis dead, millions more displaced; the entire region thrown into a shiet storm.

And now he's pushing for war with Iran, again.

With Iraq II he found his idiot president; this time he appear to have found a second idiot in the WH.

Oh, it's going to happen. Trump will be a one term President, and there's no way he's going to leave office without a good war under his belt.

Big social adjustment if that comes, might wipe out all the gains the SJWs have made.
 
It's not looking good. Last time I checked Iran and Israel have had an exchange. Things have seemed one sided for a while, but you know how it is with the “surprise factor”... Russia's helping Iran. The stronger side doesn't necessarily win.
