So, allegedly Trump has eased tensions with Iran. Allegedly.

Corporate US mainstream media is reporting on the fact that no injuries or fatalities occurred from the Iranian missile strikes.

Nothing has changed. None of this changes the fact that a military leader has been assassinated. None of this changes the fact that we attacked the military of a supposed sovereign ally. None of this changes the fact that Iraq wants us gone, Afghanistan wants us gone, Syria wants us gone. None of this changes our illegal actions in numerous countries and still have an illegal presence in Syria. None of this changes the fact that the US is imposing sanctions, tariffs and/or threats of same on nearly every nation on earth.
