@leo_caesaris @hope_pead So it's the iraeli left that are calling "Europeans colonisers" how is this any different, to other countries. Also likud is likely to become further entrenched via their supporters high birth rates.

@Altarn3 @hope_pead The far right rapprochement is with Likud in European parliamentary groups (and look up which ones lol)
There is no story within that circle where this would even be brought up. The reality is that Likudism will die with Bibi.

@leo_caesaris @hope_pead But the policy was to actually sympathise with eu far right re Muslim immigration and terrorism, how is this "calling Europeans colonisers."
English
@Altarn3 @hope_pead Yeah and the results have been incredibly retarded with no benefit whatsoever to Europeans.

@leo_caesaris @hope_pead It's been Israeli policy to engage with Europe's far right parties, this has been going on now about a decade.

@hope_pead What these imbeciles don’t understand is that Israel is not some special thing. It’s a middle eastern state, admittedly at some point founded by Shtetl elements who had very interesting characteristics.
They view Europeans as colonizers just like rest of third world
Leo Caesaris@leo_caesaris
This is what it always comes down to. No matter the rational steps you go through, it’s always “the Europeans destroyed half the world.” I think Israelis are doing themselves a disservice with this. Others will excuse these excesses, not us.

@ChristianHeiens EU aren't far behind this. It's question of who get's USD credit swap lines.

The yield on 10-year Japanese government bonds is now at its highest level since October 1998.
There are posters on X who quite literally have never lived to see this before.
How much longer until the Bank of Japan is forced to step in?
Christian Heiens 🏛@ChristianHeiens
Interest on 10-Year Japanese bonds is at a level we haven’t seen since January 1999. Almost no one in the US is paying attention to this, but they should, and the reason why is very simple. What do you think will happen as a consequence of interest rates breaking a 35 year downtrend? The cost of servicing the government’s ¥1,400 trillion of debt will go up. How is the Japanese government going to pay for this? By issuing even more debt. And who is going to buy all of this new debt? The Bank of Japan. And how exactly is the BOJ going to pay for it? By printing Japanese Yen out of thin air. This is the beginning of a currency crisis that’s several decades in the making. As I said almost a year ago, those who are paying attention now have a front row seat to one of the biggest financial slow-motion crashes in history.

Stablecoins are a geopolitical stealth tool of empire than an additional demand for U.S. treasuries and the world will adopt its use according to Brent Johnson (@SantiagoAuFund)
In Brent's perspective, USD stablecoins (next to gold) will replace any local currency through Gresham's Law

@sethjlevy It sounds like china empowered the IRGC over the top of the NIOC and SL. It would be interesting to speculate if China also targeted particular factions/personalities over others in providing the trade/finance.

Mujtaba authorized the negotiations.
This is at the heart of the entire Iranian problem.
And I mean that internally to Iran.
In fact, I believe this is why Mujtaba and Ghalibaf concluded that Ali had to go.
He had seeded too much power to the IRGC.
Theoretically they follow the orders of the Supreme Leader.
But, it had evolved to a point where the IRGC had their own funding through the oil revenue and were behaving more and more independently from the SL.
So, for the IRGC this is about preserving the power and wealth they have captured.
They realize the threat to their power posed by these negotiations and the relinquishing of the strait.

Iran International reports that IRGC head Ahmad Vahidi is the real man in charge, and Iran's "negotiators" sent to Islamabad have no real power. A reminder that @C14_news's @DBalazada reported this first, ten days ago 👇

@jordanhknight_ Pushing labor into this rump status would set ON up for generational government allowing them to define Oz nationalism and sensible centre politics on their terms.
English
@jordanhknight_ Issue for labor, is older more established migrants start moving over to ON, simply because of crime and living costs. Longer term the great danger for labor is that they fail and collapse into a resentful migrant rump fringe party that screams about gaza all day.

@bronzeagemantis Isn't the word you're looking for: kitsch.
That this is a kitsch-fication of these old forms.

I think vapid posts of statues, ballet or old art or buildings you have no special liking for yourself with captions like “Love Your Race” is an important Activism
That it makes a joke out of you and opens you to effective leftist parody is something only a Subversive would say!

@john_macgowan You need something bitter to be a counterpoint to the sweet grapes and syrup.
English
I had a dream last night where I became a celebrated bartender and invented a new type of cocktail, I wrote down the recipe in my diary at 3am: "6-8 extremely large white grapes muddled and strained with simple syrup, 180ml vodka, shake vigorously". That doesn't sound good...

The situation in Ireland is exactly what the ruling class want.. Once the military is on the streets there's no going back. Either people fight and take back control of their lives or the cowards in government win. This will be the Litmus test for other countries.
English
Normally, Trump takes a tactical step that seems crazy in service of a goal we all agree is good, ie the tariffs. Iran war feels different, b/c it's the reverse. Excellent military tactics in service of a crazy/unworkable political goal no one cares about.

With SOFR having replaced LIBOR and capital flushing into the US we will weather that storm far better than Europe. As Armstrong pointed out 20 years ago. The Sov. debt crisis in Europe created the roaring 20’s,
US banks have refused to repo Eurobonds at par for years now. That puts Europe’s future in the Fed’s hands, i.e. swap lines. Europe has openly worried about the US selectively handing those out in crisis.
Bessent understands this.

@LeeRespecter Here's a 10$ phrase that will help. 'Manipulating Procedural Outcomes'
English
The deep the thinkers and nuance bros get very black and white when it suits them.
It’s called institutional forbearance and it’s very much a feature of Western Civilization. It is when the rule remains, but enforcement is deliberately softened when punishing one’s own would do more damage than the breach itself.
This is why we have a Royal Commission, there are negative findings, we accept collective blame, and move past it.
It’s actually very Third World to selectively and politically pursue Ben Roberts-Smith because the media class have pressured you for well over a decade and it’s going to be incredibly damaging to our society and defense force and probably take a generation to recover from.

Whether you're American or European, it's a grave mistake to continue to ignore this.
This unhinged behavior will massively benefit the left unless the right comes out against it.

@hope_pead Quite aside from any particular country content what I said is generally not applicable to modern wars or conflicts and the attempts to pretend everything from BLM chimpouts to Ukraine to Israel to Palestinian stuff is “bronze age” is a stupid misreading
