The People in Hiroshima Didn’t Expect it Either
When New York City recently released a grotesque “public service announcement” video explaining that you should stay indoors during a nuclear war, the corporate media reaction was principally not outrage at the acceptance of such a fate or the stupidity of telling people “You’ve got this!” as if they could survive the apocalypse by cocooning with Netflix, but rather mockery of the very idea that a nuclear war might happen.

The Hard Work of Creating a Last Resort War on Iran
Where do all the Lockheed Martin executives vacation?
At the Last Resort!
Joe Biden and Israel are planning to attack Iran as a Last Resort.

Let’s count each country just once. And let’s go back only to the year 2000. Here’s a list of countries and the dates of attempted or successful overthrows. An asterick indicates success:

Ecuador 2000 *
Afghanistan 2001 *
Venezuela 2002 * and 2018, 2019, 2020
