@_The_Prophet__ Israel will continue until regime change is activated. For them not to do so is a “loss.”

⚡️Iran is trying to surrender without calling it surrender, and Washington is trying to win without paying for a full occupation. That is what is happening. The public contradiction is fake noise layered on top of a real convergence. Tehran denies talks because admitting talks under this level of pressure looks like humiliation. Washington talks like the deal is near because it wants to compress the regime psychologically and make resistance feel pointless. Both sides are shaping the theater while the real decision gets forced underneath. Iran already knows the direction of travel is against it. Its missile leverage is being cut down. Its buried capacity is being hunted. Its oil and Hormuz leverage are under explicit threat. Its regional isolation is deeper than the public language admits. Its internal system is being tested for someone who can carry a survivable climbdown. That is why the language coming out of them now sounds like this weird mix of denial, conditions, guarantees, and broader framing. They are searching for a way to stop without politically dying from the optics of stopping. Washington wants a smaller, weaker, less dangerous Iran. It wants the nuclear file neutralized enough that the revenge path is broken. It wants Hormuz functional again. It wants to stop short of inheriting the whole corpse unless it has no choice. That is why the threats are so extreme while the actual strategy still looks like pressure, backchanneling, limited escalation space held in reserve, and managed restoration of flow. The deepest truth is simple: They are probably going to stop this before the full destruction branch gets pulled, and both sides will lie about who forced whom.

@TatianaCro58013 @HansMahncke As it’s always been.. reactionary, statist, clerical, anti-American, antisemitic, and collectivist

Very well said. I have been following the AfD, Reform, and the Sovereign Party in Romania ( I am originally from Romania): there is no real conservative movement in Europe (maybe Restore Britain). All these conservative parties are just different shades of socialism/welfare state.

One thing to remember about Europe is that there are very few fresh-minded, unindoctrinated people left. That’s just a reality after many decades of cradle-to-grave welfare state culture. The alternatives that get celebrated here, like AfD in Germany, Farage in England, Meloni in Italy, or Le Pen in France, all have major problems of their own, as the tweet below shows. I wish it weren’t so, but it’s a lost continent. You can’t undo decades of decadence and stupidity. That’s just the way it is.

@raz_sauber_ @Dan19726 Europe has no “right wing” parties in the American sense. They’re a mix of statist reactionaries (often antisemitic) with a sprinkling of classical liberalism. Even though some have expelled their most reactionary elements, they are still reactionary statist at the core.

Back in September 2025, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said: “I accuse Israel of crossing a red line. I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel.” Notably, she criticized Israeli government policy while referring to Israel as “the Jewish state.” Now, months later, she is refusing to allow U.S. aircraft to operate from Naval Air Station Sigonella. This is the leader of Europe’s so-called “right wing” - the one that was supposed to push back against Islamization. Europe is finished.

America’s founding ideals were a rejection of European collectivism - of the left (French proto-Marxist , anti-clerical, revolutionary) and the right (monarchist, nationalist, pro-clerical, reactionary) . American (Scottish Enlightenment) ideas of liberty, individualism, separation of church and state and equality under God set it apart.

This is the far-right populist party that woke right influencers were stanning for not too long ago This isn’t Germany-First. This is Germany-Only Spain’s far-left socialist leadership did the same…the horseshoe converges It’s why I said that America-Only was a dumb reductionist worldview…it’s how western civilization collapses

@gummibear737 Agree.. I watched it but his policy perspective (JCPOA) and certainty that the US will fail undermines his perspective fatally in my view. The problem with radiological material dispersion I thought was valid.

I listened to this very carefully, thought about it a lot Professor Pape is a serious person with well founded views But I'm wary of people who have spent a lifetime building overly deterministic models, he makes many assumptions I think lack nuance/context and he completely ignores the eschatological nature of the threat we face Ultimately what's a deal breaker for me is his contention that the best path forward is going back to Obama's JCPOA Everything about Obama's foreign policy towards Iran has been a disaster Still, I don't dismiss everything Pape says and he makes a number of good points that I need to factor into my thinking moving forward

The Russian invasion was existential for a large majority of Ukrainians and the Ukrainian government. For the mullahs the war is semi existential (Venezuela option) but for a large majority of the Iranian population it is not existential - they support regime change. Big difference

Kuleba: The war with Iran is a US mistake — it won’t achieve regime change. For Iran, this is an existential war, just like it is for us. 10X

The Trump–Zelenskyy Oval Office clash was a clash of egos — too much masculinity on both sides, Former Ukrainian FM Kuleba. Trump couldn’t allow being challenged, and Zelenskyy couldn’t appear weak in front of the world. 1/

@gummibear737 They look weak, confused, conflicted and compromised — just like Vance

TP USA’s fence sitting is going to ultimately destroy the organization You cannot be all things to all people MAGA and conservatives have had it with the grifters and podcast bros/mean girls Even their pre-mature endorsement of JD Vance is an issue because he’s seen as team Tucker

@VinceDaoTV @breezysjg Bingo

Told you this was coming. Venezuela was propping up failed leftist governments as far away as Europe. They were a leading global sponsor of gay race communism. It’s no accident that Pedro Sanchez has been fuming at America ever since Trump toppled Maduro. He’s cooked.

@AGHamilton29 Those Western cities that aren’t thriving is because of massive migration, “socialism” and radical Islam. The solution isn’t CCP communism and more radical Islam!

It’s a demoralization operation aimed at the west with almost no connection to reality. It’s crazy to me that everyone can’t see it.

@RealWayneRoot Black(shirt)/Green Alliance. Founded by Hitler and Al-Husseini reborn in the person of Tucker Qatarlson

Tucker Carlson is either evil traitor, or mentally ill. He just said sharia law is good. It’s made Islamic countries more advanced than western cities. Wait, it gets better. Tucker says they're happier in Muslim countries than we are...and more tolerant of diversity than we are in West. WHAT??? Anyone on right now want to ever listen to Tucker ever again? He's a madman.

@LauraLoomer Black(shirt)/Green Alliance

I called it last year. Like I said, I bet he converted to Islam. Hate me all you want, but you cannot say I am wrong.

@Saul_Sadka @SCRIBEMOON They hate her so much because she’s brilliant, a Jew and a former leftist.

In 1996, Melanie Phillips noticed what we would now call the Wokification of education and wrote All Must Have Prizes, in which she predicted the dire effects such teaching would have on children—predictions that Jonathan Haidt and others confirmed decades later, and that everyone can now personally bear witness to. Then, in 2006, when London was in its pomp, she wrote Londonistan, which foretold the grim descent into chaos that has followed. They called her a prophet of doom, a Cassandra; they called her books Jeremiads. But they forgot: Jeremiah was right. And this is why they hate her so much.

@davec_NH TSA is filled with possible jihadis and leftist - ICE is based.

Trump is brilliant. ICE is funded. TSA is not funded. So send ICE to bailout TSA. Make the stupid democrats cry.

@naomirwolf @BobMartin1 Back in the day, I’m sure she could have created “art” for Der Stürmer

OMG it does not end. Hating on Israel and cheering terrorists and their mass rape was her full-time job.

@C_3C_3 To be fair, AOC does seem to be bat shit crazy and in need of a team of mental health specialists

I don’t think people are fully grasping just how many sessions with a psychiatrist $19,000 would cover. Especially with Congress’s insurance. It’s an insane number. Something is off. Not just AOC. Who is this shrink?

I rebelled against their Little Red School House “socialism” at an early age. I would spiritedly debate them but when you’ve heard “we could learn a thing or two from the Soviets” too many time you say “oy vey” and move on. Moved far away, rid myself of all of them and went to work for Reagan. They were last scene simping for Islam in the 90’s. Oy vey!!

@Livelongandpr18 I have rid myself of ALMOST all of them.

Gentiles have nary a clue about how fucked up liberal Jews are. Because unless you have been surrounded by the self-loathing invertebrates your entire life it is impossible to comprehend that anyone can be so pathetic. Let's review the bidding: an Islamo coward attacks...1/2

@AynReagan @DinekeBarten And harboring deep resentments and prejudices.

@DinekeBarten They are amoral and greedy.

Rogan has been surpassed by Candace Owens as the Anti-Semitic Podcaster Most Admired By Mouth-Breathing Inbreds. Bloodied but unbowed, Jew-Hating Joe is seeking to rally by attracting Hitler wannabes with an impressive display of incoherent anti-Semitic babbling.

@LauraLoomer @Krow121812 @TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov 🔥

NEW: 🚨 Why does Tulsi Gabbard hire the WORST people? 🚨 Meet Carolyn Rocco of the United States Air Force. Rocco @Krow121812 was hired by @TulsiGabbard to work at ODNI @ODNIgov. According to her very active X account, Rocco is an active duty military officer. Reuters reported that she was hired by ODNI to work on politically sensitive projects. Undersecretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier @matthewlohmeier, how do you feel about your officer engaging in such partisan activity both on and off the job? It probably doesn’t concern you too much, considering you are friends! Rocco posted twice praising Joe Kent’s @joekent16jan19 interview with Tucker Qatarlson @TuckerCarlson. She also shared several other posts praising Kent in response to his alleged leaking of classified intelligence information. Rocco also commented TODAY in support of @GenFlynn expressing support for Tucker Carlson interviewing a CCP propagandist. How is this woman allowed to have a Top Secret security clearance??? As I have reported extensively, @ODNIGov under @DNIGabbard is crawling with subversive people. Quite disgraceful. RECEIPTS ⬇️

@Pro__Trading The hour is late. I Don’t think, even if Vance wanted to (which I very much don’t) he could pull it off.

My advice to JD Vance would be this. You are in this position because of President Trump. He chose you not the other way around. Go all in passionately in support of President Trump's policies. Ignore whatever you are hearing from the podcast bros. And if it backfires so be it. But I would rather push my chips into the middle of the table in support of the most popular Republican president since Ronald Reagan

@HAHazony JD Vance?

12 months ago, many Jews still liked Tucker. 6 months ago, many Christian Zionists still liked Tucker. 2 months ago, many MAGA still liked Tucker. Has anyone ever destroyed their political capital so quickly and consistently?
