NEW: [THREAD] - In October 2002, Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.VA.) questioned the wisdom of attacking Iraq, saying, "There is no debate, no discussion (theguardian.com/world/2003/feb…), no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war.

There is nothing. We stand passively mute in the United States Senate, paralyzed by our own uncertainty, seemingly stunned by the sheer turmoil of events." 2. As it turned out, in the absence of tangible, concrete evidence for Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or Iraq’s role in 911, lies provided the pretext () for military action in Iraq.peoplesworld.org/article/iraq-w…

THREAD: The Venezuela Trap. Washington's Costliest Regime Change Fantasy Yet?

The buildup of U.S. forces in the Southern Caribbean suggests a military intervention in Venezuela is imminent.

For the neocons in Washington, regime change wars are more exciting than for kids on Christmas Eve awaiting gifts from Santa. President Trump’s rejection, reported in ZeroHedge, [] of Venezuela’s offer of a dominant stake in its oil, gas, and mineral wealth probably made this outcome inevitable, despite the fact that adversarial powers like Russia, China, and Iran have long maintained a strategic presence there.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/m…

THREAD: The Strategic Mutual Defense Pact (SMDP) signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on September 17th signals a seismic shift in global power dynamics.

Between 2020 and 2024, more than 60 percent of China's arms exports went to nuclear-armed Pakistan.

China maintains tacit support for this alliance through its deep partnership with Pakistan while simultaneously arming Iran with critical military components.Image Pakistan's nuclear umbrella now extends to Saudi Arabia just as China arms Iran with missile technology. Israel, despite receiving $6 billion in fresh US weapons, faces an impossible calculation.

With Pakistan's nuclear deterrent now protecting Saudi Arabia, any preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities becomes exponentially more dangerous.
