  • Well, you are not wrong. But if you think about it it’s still a pretty significant percentage considering Canada is one ocean distant from Europe, and has always had historically relations, economically and politically with the USA, obviously given the fact they share their only border with them. So in my opinion the number gets more weight, maybe. Probably some years ago it was much lower, or they didnt asked themselves the question at all.


  • Two books that made me cry at the end and helped me shape my idea of war and what really is for the common men are “Il sergente nella neve” (the sargent in the snow) by Mario Rigoni Stern, which is about the retreat of the Armir (italian army in Russia) after the second Don offensive by the Red Army from the point of view of Stern, as they started the endless march back to Italy on foot, with the Red Army biting their asses. Almost 80.000 between dead and missing. Amazing piece of literature and yet another reason to despise fascism; and All quiet on the western front, which doesnt need many explanations.

    Absolute chills everytime i think about those books and the images of tragedy and hopelessness they shaped so vividly in my mind.

    “this cigarette i deserved. one every now and then i can handle without starting to crave a packet again, i was diligent not smoking for 4 years, and i feel i need a break from the hardship of life” i say to myself watching me spiraling back to the addiction and craving a pack of cigs


  • A lot of contries other than Iran are filled with religious extremists, including the USA themselves, but you dont see trump striking any of those countries. Again, USA is supplying arms to Israel, that they use to strike civilians to claim a land that is theirs according to a religious book. That alone in your view should be enough to strike both USA and Israel. Religion extremism, terrorism and mysoginism and such are a plague in a lot of countriest, but the USA hit the one that is the biggest threat to thei closest ally. This is just politics, classic imperialist american politics. Nothing more nothing less. And i repeat, im not a fan of Iran either. its just that we cant revert to an international scenery dominated by brute force imo.



  • We can decide to follow a world where diplomacy and international law are the base of cooperation and problem solving, or we just decide to use brute force on everyone that has views or politics we dont like. In history the last one has proved to be very dangerous cause it’s open to be interpreted in whatever way the ones in power choose. So yes, Iran it’s not in the top 10 of my favourite governments either. For me it’s not a reason to bomb it out of nowhere, because we go back to the law of the one with the most power, and as of now i wouldnt trust Trump doing whatever he feels like.


  • No because, you see, they good. They not previously communist, in fact, they hate commies. So very easy, if america do its good and iran deserved it because only us can have nuclear bombs and they cant cause they are brown. Everything was ok according to international law, nothing was violated whatsover, instead russian yes they violated law and all their soldiers are stupid cause they follow blindly the orders of an autoritarian leader which uses poor excuses to pursue economic or political interests. Very different.
