Canada turning red is the geopolitical version of your golden retriever finally biting you.

Bolton: I think we're on the verge of something that ultimately history will decide was a catastrophic loss for the United States

🚨 Trump demands Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan sign Abraham Accords as condition of Iran deal President Trump posted on Truth Social Monday demanding that all countries involved in Iran negotiations simultaneously sign the Abraham Accords, describing it as a prerequisite for any deal and warning those who refuse would be excluded from the agreement. “It should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote, naming Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain as targets. The UAE and Bahrain are already members. 🔸Trump warned: “If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.” 🔸He said it “should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit.” 🔸He also dangled Iran’s own potential membership, writing: “If Iran signs its Agreement with me… it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.” 🔹The Abraham Accords, brokered during Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Kazakhstan. Trump’s demand would require the mediating countries to recognize Israel and normalize relations as a condition of ending the Iran war — a significant ask given that Saudi Arabia has publicly conditioned any normalization on a credible and irreversible path to Palestinian statehood, a position shared in various forms by Turkey, Egypt, and others on the list. 🔹The demand comes as the U.S. has allowed Israel to continue the daily killing of Palestinians in Gaza for more than seven months since the October 2025 Trump-brokered ceasefire, with over 900 Palestinians killed since the agreement was approved by Israel. The U.S. and Israel are also deliberately blocking minimum levels of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, and reconstruction aid. 🔹President Trump has also removed sanctions on the most violent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where rampant state-backed settler violence to uproot Palestinian families has gone unchecked since the start of his second term. 🔹Trump closed his social media post with a warning: “It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before.”

Mamdani: So often when confronted with intractable challenges, the world has looked to New York City to show the way. We have built the great things before. Skyscrapers that rise into the clouds. Grand bridges, libraries, and museums. A team that can come back from 22 points with a little less than six minutes left in the game

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and longtime State Dept. official Victoria Nuland debate international relations scholars Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, co-authors of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, on whether “Iran is a monster.”

"The Cuban people are tired... they're tired of feeling like they're just barely surviving." With the Trump administration continuing to pressure Cuba, Cuban-American historian Ada Ferrer tells me "you have a mounting humanitarian crisis piling on top of a situation that was already almost untenable even before January... the situation is dire."

Iran is an techno-industrial country of 90M with eight 1M+ sized cities besides Tehran at 9M. Oil & gas, steel production, and auto-making are 40% of its GDP. They build over 1M cars a year. They hacked a US RQ-170 drone and reverse engineered it. What was Netanyahu thinking?
