Echoes Of Iraq: Mainstream Media 'Deja Vu' Over Framing Of The War On Iran
Via Middle East Eye
“Why we should go to war” ran the headline of a Guardian article in February 2003 by the commentator Julie Burchill. In it, she explained to the Guardian's liberal readers why a pro-war attitude in the run-up to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's invasion of Iraq should be welcomed.
“If you really think it's better for more people to die over decades under a tyrannical regime than for fewer people to die during a brief attack by an outside power, you're really weird and nationalistic and not any sort of socialist that I recognise,” wrote Burchill.
Another article published in April 2003, after the invasion started, criticised anti-war “doomsters”, claiming “the people of Iraq have been unchained from appalling torture and tyranny” as a result of US-UK action.
Despite claims of the BBC's anti-war bias from Downing Street, academic analysis proved that it wa...

Japan hotels keep luring Hong Kong families, global investors despite geopolitical strains (SCMP)
|
|
|
For Hong Kong's Topaz Family Office, investing in hotels in Japan holds up as a sound decision even as a Middle East war clouds the macroeconomic environment.
The wealth manager has made Japan a central plank of its pivot into hospitality and real estate over the past two years, driven by a sharp post-pandemic tourism rebound. The investment thesis now looks increasingly robust thanks to multiple structural tailwinds and a growing pool of institutional capital flowing into the same trade.
“Japan......

Media Says 'Gambling' Trump Got Lucky On The Economy
Democrats have been predicting doom and gloom ever since Trump returned to office, yet the economic calamity they assured us would come has yet to materialize. But rather than give Trump credit, the narrative being pushed now is that his wins are just dumb luck.

That's certainly the message of a Politico piece headlined "Trump Keeps Gambling With the Economy — And Getting Away With It.”
"President Donald Trump has spent his second term turning risky economic gambles into a way of life,” the article kicks off. “He has implemented sweeping global tariffs that have dramatically increased the cost of doing business across the world. He has sharply decreased the number of people immigrating to the U.S. He has pushed for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates under any circumstance, even though inflation has not entirely cooled.

British Tourist Faces Prison Sentence In UAE For Filming Iranian Missiles
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
A British tourist is among about 20 people who are facing charges in the UAE for filming Iranian attacks on Dubai, as America's Gulf Arab allies are taking steps to censor the impact of the war.
According to The Guardian, the 60-year-old man is being charged with a law that prohibits sharing material that can endanger public security. The report said that he is still facing charges despite deleting the video immediately when he was asked to.
AP/Illustrative: Screenshots from a video posted on social media on March 7, 2026 shows an impact and smoke rising from the Dubai International Airport.
The charge carries a penalty of up to two years in prison, and many could face similar charges for simply sharing videos of missile attacks that have already been published online.
"The charges sound extremely vague but serious on paper. In reality, the alleged conduct could be somethin...

Leftist Media Quiet After Four Suspected Islamic Terror Attacks In Two Weeks
Nothing to see here, folks, Move along...
The strange relationship between fundamentalist Islam and the political left has taken a disturbing turn recently as establishment media platforms seek to spin or ignore at least three separate terror attacks involving Muslim suspects in the past two weeks. Is selective news coverage being applied to protect militant Islamism in the name of "diversity?"
The war in Iran is heating up an the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has global markets in an agitated frenzy. How long these tensions will last is uncertain but it's likely that Iran has already lost the ability to project large and coordinated military operations due to extensive US strikes. As a result, the Iranians will do what every other third world nation does; revert to insurgency and terror attacks.
Of course, Islam is an ideology, not an ethnicity or a country, and over the past decade the west ...
