@bartvdbroeck Het is oorlog in 🇺🇦 . Hier was het fake. Bij ons gelden tot nader order de regels van de rechtstaat.




Het is november 2025, en terwijl de herfstbladeren vallen, lijken de drones als trekvogels van land naar land te hoppen. Eerst Duitsland, toen België, en nu Nederland. Het script is zo voorspelbaar dat je zou denken dat het geschreven is door een Hollywood-scenarist met een budgettekort. Maar nee, het zijn onze eigen politici die deze komedie opvoeren. En het lachwekkende? Ze denken écht dat wij, het volk, te dom zijn om het door te hebben. Laten we even lachen om deze farce, want als we niet lachen, gaan we huilen over ons belastinggeld. Hier leest u mijn analyse: open.substack.com/pub/stevenschr…



Iran was the rehearsal. The Turkish file is already open. 👇 Operational Assessment | @IsraelHayomEng This is not escalation. It is structure. Akkuyu. Ballistic range. Launch corridors. The Turkish occupied north of Cyprus. Somalia. Hamas sanctuary and funding. A state aligning rhetoric, prosecution and force into a single system. Integration. Erdogan has defined intent through precedent. Libya. Karabakh. Entry. Statements that Turkey could “enter Israel” as it did there. This is operational language. In current Israeli assessment, this is not treated as rhetoric. It is treated as input. The same execution logic applied to nuclear infrastructure and terror command networks in the Iranian file has already been executed, including actions against Hamas operatives in Qatar and operations across multiple theatres. It is now applied to the Turkish one. Akkuyu is not an energy asset. It is a structural vulnerability inside alliance space. A system that can be constrained, degraded and, if thresholds are crossed, addressed accordingly. Article 5 does not alter that. It is a consensus judgment. Where a member state enables threat architecture, that consensus fractures before it forms. Range completes the structure. Ballistic systems moving into the 1,000 to 3,000 kilometre band. Space capability converging with delivery systems. Trajectories already plotted. Capitals already planning. This is not a Greek problem. It is a European one. Cyprus is a forward node. Somalia is an external flank. Together, an arc of reach. For Israel, that arc places its cities within range. The threshold is conduct, not language. Once territory is used as a base for attacks on civilians, Article 51 extends across the chain. The Iranian precedent is not analogy. It is method. It now applies westward. In Jerusalem, this is not debated. It is planned against. This is no longer a scenario. It is a sequence. 🔗 israelhayom.com/opinions/iran-…




It's incredible that Trump would admit to this because the "Iran killed peaceful protesters" narrative was pretty much the only moral fig leaf the pro-war camp could still hide behind. In effect he's confirming: "no, I assure you, my war is 100% indefensible. Zero moral basis whatsoever." It's also yet another immensely depressing illustration of the extent to which we're still all manipulated by the media. Which mainstream outlet, globally, questioned the "peaceful protesters" framing? The Iranian government kept saying this wasn't true, but which outlet even entertained the possibility they were telling the truth? Not one, as far as I could see: this was universally dismissed as Iranian propaganda. As is sadly almost always the case, the media just ran the US State Department script: the Iranian "regime" is massacring innocent civilians for wanting "freedom". The ridiculously cartoonish narrative that women just want to show their hair and get killed for that... Except we now have the President of the United States confirming that the protesters were in fact sent "a lot of guns," making them actual US-armed insurgents🤷 Hopefully it finally shames the media into doing the bare minimum, i.e. their actual job: treat Western government claims with the same skepticism they reflexively apply to official enemies. But I'm not holding my breath...









Keurt Israëlisch parlement omstreden voorstel over doodstraf goed? "Geldt in praktijk enkel voor Palestijnen" vrtnws.be/p.dLWykN4jY?t=… #vrtnws


De groep Harakat Ashab Al Yamin Al Islamiya claimt een aanval in de Joodse wijk in Antwerpen. Op de beelden die vannacht in pro-Iraanse groep is gedeeld, zien we dat een voertuig in brand wordt gestoken. De 6de aanval in West-Europa, op 2 weken tijd.
