Lesson Eight: Regime Change

The Saudi and UAE military expenditures are not because they want to use these military gears to defend themselves or their ideology. It is one way to return the petrodollars to Western countries. If they did not they would become the target of regime change, which both countries do not want. Another way to look at billions of dollars of military expenditures is a favor to Western countries to continue their business as usual, which must change

Lesson Nine: Western media is biased

The Hong Kong "protests" are covered in detail, frequently and on a daily basis - always from a pro-western/"democracy" UK/USA-supported perspective. The use of tear gas is "deplored" vigorously - as if Western nations haven't and wouldn't use such a thing against protestors (thus the BBC and NPR and Zionist groups stay mum about the Gilets Jaunes and the serious injuries inflicted on French protestors - against austerity, not "for" so-called democracy therefore unworthy - by the French police).

Lesson Ten: Stop using "terrorist" word

While terrorizing many countries economically and with military arms, stop making a wrong use of the word terrorist.

And why shouldn't other countries support the Houthis, if only ethically? They are fighting to save their native lands. Why is okay for Western countries to support racist and apartheid regimes to steal other native's lands? When Western media mentions Iran's support of the Houthis - it is only to denigrate such support. Is it only Western countries to have the right to support those nations/governments/protestors/fighters they decide are favorable to them?

Iran, pronounced Eeran NOT Eye-ran...".> Hint: Italy: Eetaly not Eye-taly. Iran has been in the region properly termed 'West Asia' -- not the 'Middle East' for thousand of years. (more...)
