Say Her Name

 

This is 16 year old Atefeh  Sahaaleh    moments before she was murdered  by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2004. She was 16 years old.  
She was convicted of “crimes against chastity” under Iran’s Sharia‑based penal code. State media falsely reported her age as 22 and accused her of adultery, though she was unmarried. Atefeh was orphaned young, endured abuse, and had been arrested multiple times before for similar charges, receiving lashings each time. Her trial ignored her age and mental health, and the judge who sentenced her personally carried out the execution.She was hanged from a crane in a public square in Neka, in front of a crowd.

The Octopus in Iran

 I am trying to think of a single international law that Iran has not continuously broken for 47 years. Some, such as the killing of it's own people, are in UN Charter terms grounds for regime removal. Anyone waving this  "international law"  canard against the ongoing Israeli-USA strike mission  is either a full collaborator i.e. the Green Party,  or a NIMBY fence sitter (Democrats and every  leftist party in Europe).

We have suffered decades of terrorism. Once it was inspired by communism, now its Islamo, Narco, organized international crime etc.  If it was up to the centre left ruling elites, Itan would now or very soon have nukes and ICBMs andthus  be irremovable. 

It would not probably use those nukes as Israel could destroy them . However since they  believe in the Apocalypse where Christ will return as a Muslim to destroy "the cross" and tthe Jews", who knows what these mega-heretical  religious psychopaths would do?

More likely they would use the nuke "shield" to cause much more endless rehional terrorism and mini-wars on a much larger scale.

At least 3 ME countries would be racing to build their own (Saudis, Egypt and Turks)  as they have sworn to do if Iran got nukes.

Some are bravely doing the entire world a favour and especially in regards to asserting Judaeo Christian  civil values over the first openly Islamo-Fascist revolutionary state, hopefully making sure the lesson makes it the last. 

While  do- nothing  fence sitters, by their own inaction, give  a great encouragement to the Iranian regime and it's "pals" internationally.  

Reoultionary Iran is the world's number one octopus of Islamo - terrorism. Far more dangerous than Osama or ISIS, because it controlls a vast state in a global hotspot.  It's tentacles spread into dozens of countries in every continent, committing thousands of terrorist acts. You can't harm an octopus cutting of a tentacle. It will grow another. You have to squash the head.

Donald Trump Suffers Snow Blindness

 I think Trump says some dumb things and fairly often. And also funny and occasionally wise things.  But he rarely does dumb things. He usually calculates carefully, based on a lifetime of extremely tough business decisions and plans - it's his way.

 But on Greenland stuff  he has lost me totally. Greenland may have minerals, but mining them economically  in that harsh environment is dodgy. IMO he would be much better removing endless Democrat law fare that has blocked US home  mineral exploitation, even of precious rare earths for,  decades. The US has huge untapped resources.

Threatening new tariffs has put on hold the EU-US trade deal that he negotiated much to US advantage. With his tariff powers under present scrutiny in the Supreme Court, this outraging of allies could tip more than one justice to tear up his entire tariff policy.

Yes Russia and China have huge artic designs and are implementing them physically. NATO/US have not been awake or planning for that.  But Sweden, Norway, Finland and Canada are all Arctic ATO allies and not to alienated when surely by tough negotiation, the USA could get the bases and security guarantees it wants.

Many say this is just typical Trump overstating and blustering to get a negotiated advantage. Maybe but it seems more like an obsession st this point and endangering much between allies.

Marriage

 To me it is very simple.

Marriage is a umion to begat children between a male and female when biologically possible, based on hetrosexual love. Even if the sexes marry for another reason, as male and female, and prefer childlessness, the possibility of the better remains. But, as they decide on a union of selfs, they deny society a future.

Because without children born of that society, it has no  future in the end.

Love Those Narcos

 The Trump Administration nas in 2025 sunk  numerous narco  boats on both Atlantic and sometimes Pacfic  oceans. This is after narcotics dealers were  attempting to smuggle using high speed boats from Venezuela and other places, were designed terrorist organizations - making them legal targets  for military strikes without warning.

From the BBC here:

"In total, there have been more than 30 strikes on vessels as part of the Trump administration's "war on drugs" with more than 110 people killed since the US carried out its first attack on a boat in international waters on 2 September. 

That first attack has come under particular scrutiny from lawmakers in Washington since it emerged that US forces struck the targeted boat twice.

Two people who had survived the first strike and were clinging to the hull of their boat were killed in the second. Some lawmakers expressed concern that the "double-tap" strike breached the rules of engagement."

However the  narco boat in question was a target that was ordered sunk.  Since it was not sunk, it was legal to be  struck again, survivors clinging to it or not. Indeed, were the narco operators of the boat trained naval men, the last thing they would have done is cling to an overturned target hull because that was liable for more destruction.

According to the insinuations of the "legal experts" --  of course unnamed or -- countless Nazi and Japanese naval targets in WW2 should not have been destroyed  because they had survivors slinging to the unsunken boats or ships. The crippled and  listing Bismarck, with a few thousand sailors on it, should have been left alone to find it's way back to a safe port. The famous order "Sink the Bismarck" would in 20254 have been "illegal"?

WII submarines were forced to surface due to damage by depth charges and then sunk while crews were exposed on deck. Notable examples include German U‑boats such as U‑175 (1943) and U‑185 (1943), and Japanese submarines like I‑52 (1944). This too would be all wrong using the reasoning of legal "experts". The submarine  should have been allowed  allowed  to carry on, if they could. 

The BBC contrasts a new strike by the US Coastguard December 30th 2025 of 3 narco boats and says Coastguard is looking  for up to 8 survivors who abandoned the boats for the water. This was and is standard naval practise too in numerous wars, because the boats have been sunk, one rescues if one can, survivors. A drone, which struck the contentious  Septrember narco boat, is unable.

Take German U‑175 (April 1943). Forced to surface by depth charges .Submarine crippled and sunk by US Coast Guard cutter Spencer. Survivors abandoned ship and were picked up by Allied escorts. Or Japanese I‑361 (May 1945) was attacked by US destroyer escort USS Reeves near Okinawa. Submarine surfaced fatally damaged, crew abandoned ship.Survivors rescued and taken prisoner by Allied forces. One can assure the "legal experts" who do not know stem from stern about the rules of naval warfare are well versed in political lawfare against the Trump administration.
