@spam9eggs @CBoTheEggman Exactly, there's never any rationale with these things.

Invade for what lmao. There is nothing worth It in shitty Europe to invade it for. You all think we are back in the middle ages. There's nothing to gain from invading other countries unless there's something to take. So tell me exactly what's there in Europe that's so valuable lmao.

Is there anything that could bring on World War 3 more than NATO being dismantled? It would give Russia a green light to invade Europe. Do Trump supporters really never think about this?

@CBoTheEggman Why exactly would Russia want to invade Europe? What's the rationale here?

@BRICSinfo Rich talk coming from the country committing war crimes daily.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel says the new Iranian regime is more extreme than its predecessor.

@GenXGirl1994 Their Solution will be some variation on making people's lives miserable, because that approach has worked so well for them over the last 70 years, as evidenced by the groundswell of love the world feels for them. Why do people hate us? Let's bomb them more, that will work.

They’re panicking.

@Karmabash I suspect they're formulating another attempt at taking the Uranium, but with a lot more forcesinvolved. I dare say it will be another fucking disaster. The Iranians aren't dumb.

Case in point: More than 70 transport planes landed in the Middle East within 24 hours of the ceasefire taking effect. That scale suggests possible preparation for a ground offensive, solidifying suspicion that Trump is using the truce to regroup:

@disclosetv One day threatening Genocide, another bitching about his critics. No mention of NJF, though. Too scared to Name-check him. Trump's pussy status confirmed.

JUST IN - Trump calls Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly, "Low IQ... stupid people... nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS."

@Keir_Starmer Trump was threatening to Genocide 93m Iranians, but instead of posting about that, or not allowing US bombers to fly from our air bases that day, you were instead tweeting about Kanye West and how triggering you found him. Utterly Pathetic.

The war in Iran must now become a line in the sand, because how we emerge from this crisis will define all of us for a generation. We will build a Britain that is stronger, more secure and more resilient. That is what this moment demands. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@RippleXrpie 1. Withdrawal requires Congress to approve (2/3rds). 2. It doesn't happen overnight, as there are handover protocols that need to happen. 3. All the bases in Europe would need to be evacuated. 4. Attacking Turkey triggers Article 5= War with Nato. 5. No force projection.

🚨HOLY SH**T!! 👀 Rumors are circulating that Israel and America intend to launch an attack on Turkey following America’s withdrawal from NATO.

@TonyZhang__2018 This was from last year

川普对以色列骂粗活，两个一起骂。 记者：以色列称伊朗违反了和平协议，以及停火协议。你认为伊朗仍然致力于和平吗？ 川普：是的，我认为是。他们违反了，但以色列也违反了。 记者：你是在质疑以色列是否致力于…… 总统：以色列，我们刚达成协议，他们就出动了，投下了一波炸弹，那种规模我以前从未见过。这是我们见过最大的一次轰炸。我对以色列不满意。 你知道，当我说：“好吧，现在你们有12个小时”，你不会在第一个小时就出去把你们拥有的一切都往他们身上砸。所以我对他们不满意。我对伊朗也不满意。 但如果以色列今天早上又出动，只是因为一枚没有落地的火箭弹，被发射了，也许是误射，结果并没有落地。我对此不满意。 记者：你能回应伊朗吗？ 总统：你知道吗？基本上，我们有两个国家一直在打仗，打了那么久、那么狠，以至于他们都不知道。自己他妈的在干什么。你明白我的意思吗？ 记者：你想回应伊朗吗……

@BRICSinfo In this day and age why not do it through a secure line. A lot easier and a lot less chance of getting murked by Mossad.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US and Iran to hold peace talks Saturday morning in Islamabad, Pakistan. US Delegation: • JD Vance • Kushner • Witkoff Iranian Delegation: • Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf • Foreign Minister Araghchi

@TRHLofficial Israel will bomb the Peace Talks.

Iran is getting nuked on Saturday, aren’t they.

@RnaudBertrand @eddie_bt They have another Carrier group in transit. I think they are buying time for that to arrive.

@eddie_bt Even if they do, it's pretty clear that they just cannot retake Hormuz, otherwise they'd have done so already

The war with Iran will doubtlessly be studied for decades but what's already pretty clear at this stage is how much of a strategic defeat it is for the U.S. and Israel, perhaps the worst ever in their history (which is actually what former Israeli PM Yair Lapid already called it: x.com/yairlapid/stat…). I mean, how crazy is this: JP Morgan calculated (jpost.com/middle-east/ir…) that, as per the new Hormuz toll arrangement, Iran may get as much as $70-90 billion in additional annual revenue, representing a stunning 20% of its GDP, in extra revenue. Hilariously, Trump commented on Truth Social that the arrangement means “big money will be made” and “Iran can start the reconstruction process” (@realDonaldTrump/116367088879643074" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). Damn right: they gained the single most valuable geographic rent on earth, by a huge margin. For comparison, the Suez Canal earns Egypt “only” $9-10B/year, and the Panama Canal about $5B. Stunning. Make no mistake, this establishes Iran as the new dominant power in the Middle-East. When you're a country that others need to effectively pay to do business in a region - which is what having a toll booth on Hormuz means in practice - you're no longer shut out of the global economy: you're the one charging admission. It's a phoenix rising from the ashes story if there ever was one (an apt metaphor since it comes from Persian mythology): after 47 years of sanctions, being the target of every trick in the book, and ultimately a war aimed at finishing them off, Iran is coming out the other end stronger than at any point in modern history. Above all, though, the most dramatic consequence of this war is what it means about U.S. power. As I argued in my previous article (open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…), this war is qualitatively different from other U.S. wars in the past few decades, such as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Serbia, etc. (the list is unfortunately very long). In those wars the pattern was roughly always the same, with an immense power differential between aggressor and victim. These were imperial wars, the empire attempting to crush a much weaker people whose only realistic recourse was guerrilla resistance. As I wrote, as spectators of these wars, if you had any moral sense, the dominant emotion was a kind of helpless disgust: you were watching a giant stomp through someone else’s house. This war wasn’t at all like that: stunningly, Iran managed to hold its own symmetrically and tactically against the United States and Israel. This is an absolutely crucial difference because it changes what losing means. When the U.S. lost in Vietnam or Afghanistan, it was embarrassing but ultimately manageable - the giant walked away with a bruised ego, and the world shrugged. Empires lose to guerrillas sometimes, it doesn’t say much about the empire's ability to fight a real war. But losing symmetrically - losing when your most advanced stealth fighters get shot down from the sky, your military bases are neutered across an entire theater (x.com/RnaudBertrand/…), your most advanced missile defense systems get destroyed, your enemy seizes control of the world’s most strategic waterway, your navy can’t reopen it, and your “allies” get bombed unforgivingly despite your “protection” - that's a different kind of losing entirely. That tells the world the giant isn't such a giant anymore. This is the topic of my latest article: what the war revealed, what it destroyed, and what may come next. I titled the article "Don't bluff someone who can't fold." You'll understand why when you read the article here: open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…

@RnaudBertrand The US is already sending more troops to the region. Trump had to back down on his genocidal rhetoric, thus the concocted ceasefire to calm the waters. However, I expect the fighting will resume before the 2 weeks is up.

@allenanalysis Honestly, I wouldn't trust Israel not fuck this up. Everyone on that list is disposable as far as they are concerned. With JD out of the way, Rubio would be their preferred heir apparent, and Kushner and Witkoff would be collateral damage.

🚨JUST IN: The Iran negotiating teams for Saturday’s Islamabad talks are set. Iran is sending its Foreign Minister and Parliament Speaker. Career diplomats. People who have spent their lives doing this. America is sending JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. A VP. A real estate developer. And Trump’s son-in-law — whose fund took $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, a country with direct financial stakes in how this ends.

@FourthSonSouth @VeryBrexitProbs Trump needs 2/3rds of Congress to approve (unlikely), and even then, they have to leave after a year IIRC.

@VeryBrexitProbs Removing the US from NATO would make the world a safer place.

General Dan Caine, Trump’s handpicked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, boast is not the flex he thinks it is. 10,000 missions. Sounds like an impressive display of independent US airpower until you see where they actually flew from. Some flew from carriers in the Arabian Sea, primarily the USS Abraham Lincoln. But one carrier can only generate around 70-80 sorties a day. The USS Gerald R. Ford? Damaged by fire and pulled out for repairs. Its replacement is still sailing from Norfolk, Virginia. You can’t run a war from one ship. 62 bomber missions. Only 18 flew from the US. Most of the remaining 44? RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England. A British airfield in the Cotswolds is the heart of America’s bomber war against Iran. The F-35s and F-15Es? RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk. The F-15E shot down over Iran last week? 48th Fighter Wing based in England. The F-16 Wild Weasels suppressing Iranian air defences? Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. The munitions? Likely drawn from US stockpiles at Ramstein, Germany. The aerial refuelling tankers that made all of it possible? Around 50 across the UK, Germany and Portugal. Another 35 in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria. That’s 85 tankers on European NATO soil. The US has zero permanently based fighters in the Middle East. Outside of one operational carrier, every fighter that flew over Iran came from or through European NATO bases. Without European NATO this war could not have been fought. That is not an opinion. It is a logistics fact. Trump told the world “the United States does not need the help of anyone.” Except the overwhelming majority of the 10,000 missions was only made possible thanks to the European NATO allies he spent two months insulting Maybe General Caine should remind Trump who actually holds all the cards. Has he even said thank you yet?

@VeryBrexitProbs Don't forget these fuckers want out of NATO so that they can attack Turkey with Israel. Though given they'll have no bases in Europe, I can't see that going particularly well, esp given doing so means they'd be picking a fight with NATO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@neyikaybettik Yeah I'm not sure I'd agree that they destroyed Iran. Damaged certainly, but Iran is resourceful and will rebuild.

ABD'li emekli albay Douglas Macgregor: -İran'ı başarıyla yok ettikten sonra, dikkatler Türkiye'nin yok edilmesine çevrilecek. -Kaçınılmaz olarak Türkiye, İsrail ile karşı karşıya gelecek, bu muhtemelen Suriye'de olacak. - Türkiye birçok açıdan İran'dan iyi. Gerçek bir donanması var. NATO'nun en iyi ordusuna sahip. - Bir sonraki adım Türkiye'yi yok etmek. O yüzden kendimizi kandırmayalım, mesele bundan ibaret.

@owenjonesjourno Rutte needs to go, he is such an embarrassing asslicker.

NATO is finished.

@LBC @Tobias_Ellwood Riddle me this: Why would Russia want to go to war with us? What do we have that they could want?

- 'US may back away from NATO' - 'China is filling the void where America leaves a vacuum' - 'UK will be vulnerable to Russia' 'We are woefully unprepared', @Tobias_Ellwood warns.

@Keir_Starmer Israel breached the Ceasefire you pathetic Cuck

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies. The goal now must be a lasting end to the war. Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
