For those wondering why we haven’t seen an uprising in Iran since the January 8–9 crackdown, the answer is on the streets.
The regime is staging daily shows of force. Basij units, men and women, parading through cities - looking ridiculously like Ninja Turtles - with flags of the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah, backed by 23mm and 12.7mm machine guns… the kind you normally point at fighter jets and armoured vehicles, not civilians. It’s not a rally. It’s intimidation.
The message is simple: don’t you even think about it.
And ironically, this level of theatrics screams fear, not strength. A confident regime doesn’t need anti-aircraft guns to manage its own population. Which also explains the internet blackout, because once people can see, then they can organise!
So instead, the regime may choose war over compromise. In their minds, it’s safer. If the Taliban could last 20 years, they think they can last 20 weeks.
It’s a brutal calculation, and the Iranian people are the ones paying the price.🤦🏻♂️

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..
> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..
> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..
> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..
> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..
> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..
> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..
> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..
> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..
> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..
> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..
all of this.. one Friday..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

@TheRedbaiter What a dick.
He thinks he us ok because he has the (caucus) numbers.
Ok
But hey, arsehole...you DO NOT have the voter numbers. They are what is important.
What a stupid thing to say.

Why it doesn't matter now if Luxon is replaced
1) It is too late. A replacement should have occurred over the Christmas break but the Nats were too timid.
2) None of the potential replacements will significantly improve that Nat's dismal polling. So there is no profit in such a move.
3) Things are going OK really, as the Coalition still has a significant parliamentary seat advantage. All that really counts.
In the end, the Nats are paying the price for the same kind of political perfidy that has seen the UK Conservatives and the Australian Liberals become minor parties.
The current ruling clique in National are traitors to the spirit of National party founder Sid Holland, who would be appalled if he ever saw what his grand old party has become today.
Finally, if there is one Nat MP who should never become leader it is Nicola Willis. IMHO she has over time been the person behind so much mischief within the party.
Mischief that has accelerated its slide to the left.
Willis and all proteges of John Key (the real destroyer) have brought the party to its lowest point ever.
Therefore, after the election, win or lose, they should be kicked out of the party forthwith.

@Aku_700 Men are very respectful of mostly naked women covered only 10% of their bodies.
We only look at the clothed parts.

@Pete20221 @JonnoL32552677 ASB woke AF.
You should read their weekly financial reports. Everything wrong with NZ is Trump's fault.
TDS to the max.

@TheConsultant18 Of course they are the most trusted.
Trust ratings are:
TVNZ 5%
RNZ 7%
English

🟥 RNZ 🇳🇿 Brags, "Most trusted" But This Is Just a Myth.
"RNZ claims Most Trusted Title" which is pure propagander especially given falling ratings, scathing internal reviews with many accusations, collapsing editorial standards & the Wellington woke bias tell a different story.
When any media organisation writes an article on how wonderful they are, you know this a red flag & is generally first class bollocks.
RNZ is tax payer funded & is code named RED RADIO for a good reason as it delivers one sided predetermined baised narratives & is untrustworthy.
