@SavchenkoReview OK, if that's the case (and by now nobody really expects Taurus to show up), just finance a massive expansion of those Ukrainian long-range weapons.

@RonFilipkowski Apparently the US goes through regime change every 4 years...?
English
The same regime is still in charge. Any person in Iran and anyone outside the Trump administration would agree that the same regime is in charge of the country. What it must do to your brain and soul to have to defend Trump’s stupidly and lies every day.

Reporter: The president yesterday said that he had achieved regime change in Iran because the regime has changed. Leavitt: Has it not? Wouldn’t you say there has been a change in the regime? Reporter: There’s been a change in leadership Leavitt: Thank you for confirming he is right.

@wartranslated The title explains it better: "US links security guarantees to Ukraine giving up Donbas, Zelenskiy says"
Your comment looks as if Zelenskyy had agreed to it. That's not the case. He just confirms that the US is pushing Ukraine to give up territory.
English
"The United States has agreed to finalize the security guarantees necessary for concluding a peace agreement after Ukraine agrees to cede the entire Donbas to Russia." - Zelenskyy said in an interview with Reuters.

@Acyn For Trump, leadership = regime.
Good to know that America is not a democratic system anymore, but just one guy in charge.

@ChrisO_wiki In this one, if Russia voted for it and most Europeans abstained, there must have been something fishy.

It's quite something when the USA, Israel, and Argentina vote against a resolution condemning slavery
Sherwin Bryce-Pease@sherwiebp
The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity. 123 in favour 3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina) 52 abstentions The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent. #sabcnews

In the further Putinisation of the USA, the president is out of touch with the true situation of the war and only listens to those Generals who tell him what he wants to beleive..

NEW: Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, U.S. officials say. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.” nbcnews.com/politics/white…

@Para_Capital @warsurv You're right, no one can go toe-to-toe with the U.S. military.
That's why anybody with half a brain will fight asymmetrically. Like the Taliban.
The OP is way off, but the danger is real.
English
The United States and Israel are reportedly preparing to deploy nearly 12,000 elite troops into Iran in what many see as an extremely high risk mission.
The operation is said to have financial backing from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait.
A ground war against Iran is widely considered nearly impossible to win due to its military scale and strategic depth.
Iran fields around 650,000 active soldiers, along with 250,000 paramilitary forces.
Including allied and auxiliary units, their total manpower could approach 2 million.
Any U.S.–Israel–GCC ground operation would face overwhelming challenges and slim chances of success.
Many analysts view such a move as dangerously close to a suicidal mission.

What's Donald going to do if he declares victory, says the war is over but the Iranians decide it isn't and keep the straits closed?

@DeItaone Regardless on how this was agreed upon, from the point of view of Venezuelans and Latin Americans in general, the optics are awful.
Make no mistake: these brazen acts will inevitably haunt the US.

UNESCO is deeply alarmed by the 24 March strikes that hit a building in the area of Bernardine Monastery within the World Heritage property of ‘L’viv – the Ensemble of the Historic Centre’.
@UNESCO recalls that cultural property is protected under the 1954 Hague Convention and the 1972 #WorldHeritage Convention. All parties must safeguard heritage and refrain from any acts harming cultural property.
#UNESCO stands ready to support the authorities with assessments, protection measures and emergency assistance.

@WarMonitor3 1- If it's just a raid, how can Kharg be a bargaining chip?
2- What happens if the Iranians actually fire at the oil infrastructure used for cover?
3- What if the Iranians use missiles against similar facilities in KSA or Qatar? Or desalination plants?
English
US Kharg Island operation assessment-FT:
-Kharg Island used as a bargaining chip to reopen strait of Hormuz Irans economic backbone.
-Troops landed on island via helicopter either marines or paratroopers, hug coast and seize key oil infrastructure for cover and to prevent Iranian artillery fires.
-Operation highly risky as within Iranian drone and artillery fires, likely all US air assets would be redirected to provide air cover for landed troops.
-Still not enough troops, likely to be a raid rather than a long form operation.
English
@McFaul It's tempting to say "the goal justifies the means". Problem is, the means create consequences as well.
Supporting the Iranian protesters would have been the right call; create conditions for an armed uprising. Now you have killed scores of innocent people. Not easy to forgive.
English
I opposed Trump's war against Iran. There was no imminent threat to the US. All other means of achieving US objectives were not exhausted. He did not consult with Congress.
But if Trump's war produces democracy in Iran, permanent nuclear and missile disarmament & the end of support for terrorists forever, I will praise him.
English
@McFaul The fiercest lion has a hard time defending himself from angry bees.
English
We’ve spent billions on the world’s largest navy, yet cheap Iranian drones can shut the Strait of Hormuz, and we have no answer. Ukraine has vast experience countering such drones, but Trump has arrogantly dismissed Zelensky’s offer of help. We need to catch up. Fast.
English
@Billbrowder It's a cross-party delegation. In the last election for President, some supported Vladimir Putin, others V.V. Putin and others went for Vladimir Vladimirovich.
The last party opposed Putin for President. They wanted to proclaim him Czar already.

Pretty surprising post. I’m less surprised by the trip to Washington than that in Russia they have “cross party” political groups in a totalitarian dictatorship

John Brennan bears more responsibility than most for the politicization of US intelligence and the betrayal of the CIA’s essential principle of remaining above politics.
His activism has done a grave disservice to the courageous officers who risk everything to serve the American people, not political agendas.

@colewhogan Nobody says the language issue is the most important part of it, but it's certainly distasteful and uncourteous not to release the statement in French, considering the pilot was Francophone. His family and community deserve better.

This is ghoulish. Two pilots died. Multiple people are injured. The Official Languages Act can take a back seat.

“No, Air Canada knows better." Federal Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon said it wasn’t acceptable for Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau to release a video statement, where he expressed his condolences to those affected by the crash, entirely in English. "They have a responsibility to communicate with the public and their stakeholders in both official languages,” MacKinnon told reporters in Ottawa. Read the latest: montrealgazette.com/news/local-new…

I get why people are rolling their eyes at this (and normally I would too!) but one of the deceased pilots was a francophone from Quebec. It would've been nice if the CEO spoke a few words to his family, in their language

PM Mark Carney says he is "very disappointed" in Air Canada CEO's English-only message of condolence: "It doesn't matter the circumstances, but particularly in these circumstances, lack of judgment and lack of compassion."
