IT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING

 Today, CENTCOM (who's area of responsibility includes Iran) announced that their blockade of Iranian ports and shipping has been lifted. The move means Iran can freely move oil again for the first time since the war began at the end of February.


Aside from my personal opinion, does anybody actually think this is a good thing for the free world? If you think it is a good idea, state why in the comments.



I am always genuinely interested in people's opinions.

TWO HITLERS, WW3 UNDERWAY

 This post is going to be about an opinion of mine. As with each post that lays out my opinion on a matter it is based soley on history. The reason for this post is what took place in China over the weekend, and why I think it should be a warning sign to the world. Before I even get to what happened in China, and why I think it matters, most people are familiar with who Hitler is and the evil acts/decisions he is guilty of. I will mention second but first, you might read the title of this post and wonder who the second Hitler is I am referring to...Putin. The reason that I think Putin is a Hitler is not only because he is a dictator. Among many reasons that I think he is a Hitler is for the topic of this post, his ambitions in Ukraine and to a degree his actions exactly mirror the stated reasons for the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. This will be important to remember when I state my opinion. Since I assume most people know about the evils of Hitler, let me state who I think th...

REASON FOR THIS BLOG

When I was a kid knowledge of two events shaped my interest in global events. The first event that I learned about was 9/11 and I first heard about it in 2009, The second event that shaped my interest and the first thing I tracked as it was happening was the Arab spring in 2011. Ever since I learned about 9/11, I have always paid increasing attention to big stories around the world and at home but have always been annoyed with media outlets selecting which stories to cover instead on simply covering events as they happen. I am starting this blog to cover events in a straightforward way as they occur and to give my insight to those events. When necessary, I will add historical examples that help form my opinion. In a world that seems to be on fire people need reporting and insight without an agenda.

WHO WAS RIGHT? DANGEROUS SITUATION

 I closed the last post by asking what if anything people thought would happen between the United States and Iran by time I write this post. I also asked if something did happen, which side would be responsible for it?. If you said that something would happen, and it would be the United States (I am not saying the U.S was wrong to do it) you you are right. Yesterday an Iranian cargo ship broke through the U.S. blockade and after ignoring orders to stop, had its engine room hit by rounds fired by the USS Spruance. The other development I wanted to address is, today the U.S. Embassy in Iraq warned U.S. citizens already in the country to leave immediately. It also urged U.S. citizens not to travel to Iraq. The reason for the  concern is terrorist groups in the country are said to be aiming to assault Americans. The situation is so unstable the Embassy has cautioned U.S. citizens that want to leave Iraq not to go to the Embassy in Baghdad, or the Consulate in Erbil.
