"The Iranians have also said they're not just talking about a ceasefire against Iran. They're talking about a ceasefire across West Asia." WATCH @vijayprashad break down Iran's ten point proposal to end the war for good: youtube.com/watch?v=_q-upq…

🚨Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on the war on Iran: NO ONE should be a friend of ‘SUICIDAL, HOMICIDAL’ Israel ‘It’s not a matter of not stopping Trump while he’s making a mistake. Because the mistake, in this case, is not Trump’s mistake. It is the world’s disaster. The grown-ups need to explain: “Donald, sit down, have a tea, put your feet up. You’re not going to drive Iran into the Stone Ages. You’re not going to do it. This is not how we do things in the 21st century, how we do things in the nuclear age. You’ve got to stop this.” We have to understand. And it’s again a sad truth that Israel has part of its political leadership in a 6th-century BC mentality. Yeah. And I think people do understand. I do not exaggerate. My view is that the only ones that can do this really are the BRICS. India has the Presidency of the BRICS… One should not be a friend of Benjamin Netanyahu right now. I regard India as a great country, as a great civilisation, as an absolute core to global stability, and I regard Israel as a rogue nation that is, I think, suicidal, but is definitely homicidal.’ -Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on the latest episode of New Order Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

Ten (10) months on and former President Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu is still frozen in the mortuary. What kind of a country have we become? How can we advance as a country if we can't deal with such matters in a compassionate and reasonable way @HHichilema Allow his spirit to RIP.

The United States should never claim to be champions of democracy. @Jingjing_Li

While the U.S. govt is actively starving Cuban people of food and fuel, it wants to send fuel to its own embassy in Havana. This is the U.S. tradition of holding the blade and hiding the hand!
