“In continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC naval units conducted a hybrid operation against US and Israeli terrorists deployed in al-Shoyoukh port as well as Dubai’s coasts and port, hitting downhearted American troops and their tactical hardware precisely,” the public relations department of the IRGC said in a statement on Friday.
The statement noted that six US landing craft utility (LCU) were struck in the operation, which was carried out using homegrown ballistic missiles, such as Qadr 380 cruise missiles.
“Given field reports, three of the combat vessels sank after the (retaliatory) strikes, whilst the rest are aflame,” the IRGC further noted.
In the meantime, kamikaze drones were employed to launch operations against the gathering centers of the US drone unit personnel on the coasts and one of the hotels in Dubai.
The former Red Army was under-funded and banned from teaching Marxist-Leninist lessons to its soldiers (this still went on behind the scenes). Furthermore, the Red Army Grave Detachment was abolished in the new capitalist Russia so that the bodies of dead Russian soldiers killed-murdered in Chechnya (many beheaded as POWs) were left neatly lined-up along the main road (in and out of Chechnya) so that their families could drive their vehicles up and down the road looking for their relatives – many of which lacked heads and limbs. Those bodies left too long were eaten by dogs. I know this because I knew men who had served in the Red Army and lived through the transition from Socialism to capitalism – and it was a terrible time for Russians and former Soviet citizens. Around 10 million people – between 1991-2000 and the dismantling of the Socialist infrastructure – died of starvation whilst the US pumped fascism and Christian missionaries into the post-Soviet space.
The US representative, Dan Negrea, claimed that the resolution was “highly problematic in countless respects”, the UN News agency reported.
The US government stressed that it “does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred”.
The representative of the European Union made the same argument on the floor of the UN.
The EU criticized the resolution for implying “suggestions of a retroactive application of international rules which was non-existent at the time and claims for reparations, which is incompatible with established principles of international law”.
“References to claims for reparations also lack a sound legal basis”, the EU argued, stressing that the “principle of non-retroactivity, a fundamental cornerstone of the international legal order, must be strictly upheld”.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said the same, in a statement explaining its decision to abstain.
The British representative argued that there is “no duty to provide reparation for historical acts that were not, at the time those acts were committed, violations of international law”.
The UK insisted “that the prohibitions on slavery, the slave trade, and what are now considered crimes against humanity had not yet been established in international law at the time of the transatlantic slave trade”.
I have written about Aaron Bushnell – indeed, I have seen the full video. He showed remarkable courage as the flames rip through his body – and despite screaming from the immense pain, he still possessed the strength of character to shout “Free Palestine!” once or twice more before the flames burnt through his mouth and nose-area. Even before that, I suspect he was breathing fire down into his lungs as the air disappeared in the combustion. When I was on Facebook many moons ago – I remember joining the Rachel Corrie page administered by her family. I read about how the Israelis deliberated ran her-over using a bulldozer or tractor – crushing her to death. Rachel was trying to defend the homes of Palestinians being destroyed by the Settler-State.
And why exactly are NATO countries up here giving us sanctimonious speeches about human rights while turning a blind eye to the Zionist genocide in Gaza? Who do they think they are to stand here and talk about justice?
We will not allow nations to silence us when, for them, human rights are nothing but a bargaining chip and a foreign policy weapon. We have no intention of listening to people who use human rights as a tool of war — while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians, something they somehow keep conveniently forgetting.
And we will not rest until every country here is treated by the same standard. Until hypocrisy is dragged into the light and disgraced. Until genocide is confronted. And until peace reigns not just in words, but in reality.
