Thousands took to the streets in opposition to the Trump administration's "warlike actions against Iraq and Iran," after a drone strike killed #Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. @AlanRMacLeodmintpressnews.com/trump-iran-agg…
Iran has since taken responsibility, stating they unintentionally shot down the plane due to "human error," which occurred during increased U.S. aggression against the country. @AlanRMacLeodnytimes.com/2020/01/11/wor…
On Sunday, January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted to expel U.S. troops from the country making it clear they want the "Yanks to go home." The U.S. is refusing to leave. By

But after #Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on U.S. military installations in #Iraq last week, Trump backed down from threats to hit back "perhaps in a disproportionate manner," pulling the U.S. back from the precipice of war. @_whitneywebbmintpressnews.com/trump-backs-aw…
@_whitneywebb Make no mistake, just because Trump pulled back from an all-out war with #Iran doesn't mean the Military-industrial complex wasn't richly rewarded. Fear-mongering and the mere threat of war enriches the pockets of military contractors. @AlanRMacLeodmintpressnews.com/military-contr…

Operation Total Extermination will see a permanent FBI presence set up in Ecuador.

🧵How India Became A Detox Center For IDF Soldiers Who Commit War Crimes
Mintpress explores this phenomenon.
Where do Israeli soldiers go after committing war crimes in Palestine? Increasingly, the answer is India. Around 80,000 Israelis – including many active and reserve IDF soldiers – go to India to detox and relax after carrying out crimes in Gaza.
Certain towns, especially along the so-called “Hummus Trail”, are mobbed with Israelis, and are filled with cafés serving what they call “Israeli food.”
🧵Under the leadership of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela evolved into a critical Western Hemisphere hub for the Axis of Resistance against Zionism. This role was characterized by strategic military, economic, and intelligence cooperation aimed at countering U.S. influence.
Chávez and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad solidified a brotherly system based on a shared anti-imperialist outlook.
The alliance facilitated Iranian investments—often through IRGC-affiliated entities—totaling billions of dollars in Venezuelan energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.
🧵A study carried out by academics Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel estimates that between 1880 and 1920, British imperialism was responsible for the deaths of some 100 million people in India.
After taking over the vast country, the British systematically destroyed its manufacturing sector and reorientated its agricultural industry towards cash crops.
The result was the destruction of the economy and widespread famine.
