The United States should have supported Kurdistan independence back when they voted. They would have gained the ally they need in the region to push back on Iranian Shia militias... the same ones that probably fired towards the Green Zone today.
The last time i was with the Peshmerga, nearly every top commander fingered the Shia Militias - supported by Iran - as their next big threat.
Iraq can either choke on it and accept, OR do something about these militias - like Hezbollah in Iraq - who will one day kick off another Sunni/Shia conflict. And these Shia militias are just as brutal and barbaric as ISIS is. I’ve seen their work first hand.

A lot of people might be liking the president's tariff move with Mexico, but I personally hate it. To fix the immigration problem we need a long term strategy. One that fixes Mexico AND fights China at the same time. This article is a good example:

mexiconewsdaily.com/news/chinese-m…
Central Americans would be less inclined to migrate all the way up to the U.S. if they can great manufacturing jobs in Mexico. Mexican wages are lower in Mexico than they are in China. Logistical costs are also lower. Huge incentive for companies to leave China for Mexico.
It would solve our immigration issue AND be a big blow to China. But now these tariffs threaten that. Eliminate the tariffs and work on a deal with Mexico to help incentivize companies in China to relocate. A MUCH better deal to address immigration problems in the long term.

This is the worst take on Lindh I've ever seen. Did the author actually do any research? How did the Times publish this? I was in Afghanistan as an Intell Analyst during the invasion. Lindh was brought to my patrol base for questioning. Here's some facts the author left out: +
1. The only reason Lindh didn't spend the rest of his life in prison is due to his plea deal. He gave intell in order to escape a life sentence, and YES what he did justified him never seeing anything but bars and grey walls for the rest of his life. +
2. Lindh traveled all over looking for the most radical jihadists to fight with. He eventually landed in Pakistan and joined Harakut ul-Mujahideen (HUM). They are a designated terror group allied with al Qaeda. He moved on from HUM and went to Afghanistan. +

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

if you'll forgive me for the massive thread, i'd like to talk about an important moment in world history that i wish more people knew about.
today is the 64 year anniversary of the CIA-backed overthrow of iran's popular and progressive prime minister, mohammad mossadegh.
it is largely credited as the moment the united states, fueled by greed and fear, began the long process of destabilizing the middle east.
