If the Iranian regime does not accept Trump’s off-ramp, they shift from being the victim to becoming the aggressor

There is not a single ounce of anything Roald Dahl wrote criticizing Israel that was anti-semitic or unreasonable in any way Here's the first page of what he wrote

🇮🇷 A little girl at an Iranian rally has a message for the IRGC Aerospace Commander: "Strike Israel with a pink missile." The commander has been informed.

🚨⚡️BREAKING: Iran threatens "complete and utter annihilation" of OpenAI's $30BN Stargate data center in Abu Dhabi

Can we normalize calling the majority of western "democracies" regimes?

In Dublin, 1916, six South Africans, two Canadians (wearing kilts), one Australian and five New Zealander soldiers, had their Easter Leave uplifted, when they were hastily requested by a student Porter, to come and defend the Reserve Officers Training Corps armoury at Trinity College in Dublin. The 14 Colonials, along with some Irish students, teachers and civilians, armed themselves with hunting and sporting rifles from the armoury, and defended the College from the roof tops against the Irish rebels for 72 hours, with no sleep. This picture shows the New Zealanders leaving the College after the Easter Rising ended, one with a sporting rifle still in hand 🇬🇧☘️🫡

Iran can remain irrational longer the Donald Trump (and the global economy) can stay solvent.

Trump isn't in charge of anything, he makes ZERO decisions, and no, he hasn't "lost his mind." This is messaging. The question you have to ask is messaging to who and why? When the US renamed the Department of Defense to the "Department of War," I warned of a concerted and ongoing effort to radicalize as many across the West into rabid, racist warmongers celebrating naked and entirely unapologetic imperial aggression as possible. The US is out of time to make excuses, sell justifications, and shape narratives - it is rushing to the finish line with war and proxy war against the pillars of multipolarism - Russia, Iran, and China. It needs to distill a core minority willing to irrationally fight and die in what are otherwise dangerous, unnecessary, unjustifiable wars of aggression - that is who these messages are for - and among this rabid, racist, warmongering minority - it resonates. They don't need to convince the majority - especially as long as the majority continues spending their paychecks on goods/services from Wall Street-listed corporations and otherwise allowing this to continue unopposed.
