@atrupar And the States would all be speaking Japanese if the Allies hadn't joined together to defeat the Fascists. Now of course the Fascists are winning from within.

Rick Scott: "Europe would all be speaking German if it wasn't for the American service members and what we did to save their butts in the second world war. For them to not support what we're doing in Iran is foolish. So NATO is gonna have to change."

Incredible 125 year old film of England in 1901. Captured by Mitchell & Kenyon in the streets of Manchester, in the final days of the Victorian era and the dawn of the Edwardian period.

@KMFollett I've just read, for the first time @ 88, his first, Pickwick Papers which, after a faltering start, is a compulsive read & an insight into life in the early 1800s. Also very funny. So moved on to Angus Wilson's World of Charles Dickens to learn more about an extraordinary writer.

@Acyn You didn't save France from Germans twice but just an ally with others who'd been fighting since 1914 and 1939. In both wars you came late, in WW1 in 1917, WW2 in 1942. Get your facts right, stop trying to change history, or future US generations will end up as ignorant as you.

Watters: They have a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, it's just hanging around the mediterranean. It could be in the gulf in just a few days. We saved the French twice from the Germans. They can't do mop up duty? Daddy has to get the kids to move out. They can't live in the basement forever. But if they do, they have to pay rent.

#ULTIMAHORA 🚨 CONFIRMACIÓN BOMBA: ya salió el Peine de porque Melania Trump salió hoy de urgencia en la Casa Blamca a decir que nunca tuvo relaciones de amistad con el Pederastra Epstein Y es que en Inglaterra se filtró un correo electrónico del 2002 de Melania a Ghislaine Maxwell, expareja de Epstein, en donde con mucha confianza le pregunta sobre Jeffrey Epstein y Palm Beach que es donde está Mar-A-Lago. Por favor compartan este video antes de que la Casa Blanca lo mande bajar de todas las redes...

It looks like Pete Hegseth is lying again and this time about the alleged downed soldier that he said messaged “God is Good” on his NSEL or ANPRQ7 device because they have no keyboard therefore there’s no way he could have messaged that. This begs the question why lie about this!

BREAKING: Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling reveals that top military officers are considering disobeying Trump's "horribly immoral and illegal" orders to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure. A full-blown military rebellion may be brewing... "I've trained for forty years as a soldier and as a commander," Hertling said on MS Now. "And when you're an officer in the United States Army, you're loyal to a couple of things. You're primarily loyal to the Constitution. You are also loyal to your superiors if they give, as you said, lawful orders." If Trump proceeds with his threat to bomb civilian infrastructure like power plants and bridges or follows through on his pronouncement that "a whole civilization will die tonight," they would constitute the most unlawful orders imaginable. If, as he seems to be implying, Trump launches a nuclear strike on Iran, it would be the greatest crime in human history. The entire U.S. military would be honor-bound to reject the orders. "When they start giving unlawful orders, you find a way to push back on them and to make sure they adjust their approach," said Hertling. "But you also are loyal to the soldiers that are under your command. So those three loyalties sometimes are conflicting." "So I'm sure there's a lot of military commanders right now, a lot of senior officers who are saying to themselves, 'I can't obey an unlawful order,'" said Hertling. "I can't do things that I know are absolutely wrong." It's worth noting that Hertling is no minor figure. He previously served as the Commanding General of the United States Army Europe and the Seventh Army. His distinguished career speaks for itself and lends a profound gravity to his assessments. "But they also feel like they have to provide support for their soldiers who don't just get to quit," he continued. "They have to stay in the military and potentially see an uprising in all of these things. So the senior military officials are in a real quandary one this one because they know they can't do some of the things that the president is asking them to do." "They have a Secretary of Defense who has continually said lethality is better than legality or words to that effect," said Hertling. "So it's really causing some dynamics within those who are thinking soldiers, saying 'How do I continue to serve my Constitution and live by the rules that are in law and still conduct these kinds of actions which are horribly immoral and illegal." This is the position that our deeply evil president has placed our brave service men and women in. They're torn between their duty to obey their commander-in-chief and the knowledge that he has revealed himself to be a genocidal psychopath in the grips of dementia. They must side with the Constitution, the American people, and the world by rejecting any unlawful orders that Trump might deliver. The future of our planet depends upon it. Please ❤️ and share to urge the military to reject unlawful order!

🔴 Le New York Times vient de publier le récit le plus accablant sur Trump depuis le début de la guerre. Et c'est une bombe. Jonathan Swan et Maggie Haberman, deux journalistes de la Maison Blanche, révèlent comment Trump a pris la décision d'entrer en guerre contre l'Iran. Ce qu'ils décrivent est exactement ce que j'analyse dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche. Voici les faits. Netanyahu a vendu un rêve. Le 11 février, dans la Situation Room, le Premier ministre israélien a présenté un scénario en quatre actes : tuer le Guide Suprême, détruire l'armée iranienne, déclencher une révolution populaire, installer un nouveau régime. Il a même montré une vidéo de montage avec les "futurs dirigeants" de l'Iran. Trump a répondu : "Sounds good to me." En une phrase, il venait de sceller le destin de la région. Le lendemain, la CIA a dit que c'était du vent. Les parties 3 et 4 du pitch de Netanyahu, la révolution populaire et le changement de régime, ont été qualifiées de "farce" par Ratcliffe lui-même. Rubio a traduit : "In other words, it's bullshit." Le général Caine a ajouté : "C'est la procédure standard des Israéliens. Ils survendent, et leurs plans ne sont pas toujours bien développés." Trump a entendu. Et il a quand même dit oui. Vance a tout vu. Le vice-président était le seul dans la pièce à s'opposer frontalement, avertissant que la guerre pourrait "détruire la coalition politique de Trump", que le Détroit d'Ormuz était le vrai point de vulnérabilité, que personne ne pouvait prédire les représailles iraniennes quand la survie d'un régime était en jeu. Il a dit : "Tu sais que je pense que c'est une mauvaise idée. Mais si tu veux le faire, je te soutiendrai." Ce n'est pas du courage politique. C'est de la déférence. Susie Wiles a regardé. La cheffe de cabinet, qui avait des inquiétudes, a estimé que ce n'était "pas son rôle" de s'exprimer sur une décision militaire devant les autres. Elle a "encouragé les conseillers à partager leurs vues." Elle s'est tue. Le général Caine n'a jamais dit non. Il a exposé les risques : diminution des stocks de munitions, Détroit d'Ormuz, pas de voie claire vers la victoire. Puis il a dit : "Si vous ordonnez l'opération, l'armée exécutera." Trump, lui, "entendait seulement ce qu'il voulait entendre." Et Trump a signé à bord d'Air Force One, 22 minutes avant la deadline fixée par son propre général : "Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck." Voilà comment on entre en guerre au XXIe siècle. Pas avec une délibération solennelle. Pas avec un vote du Congrès. Pas avec une stratégie de sortie. Avec un slide show de Netanyahu, un "sounds good to me", et une note envoyée depuis un avion. Dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche, j'écris que les vrais décideurs sont ceux qui préparent les présentations que Trump regarde. Netanyahu l'a compris mieux que quiconque. Il a mis en scène une heure de spectacle visuel dans la Situation Room avec Mossad en fond d'écran, des vidéos de "futurs dirigeants", une promesse de victoire rapide et propre. Et Trump a dit oui. Pendant que Vance, Rubio, Wiles et Caine regardaient. Voici l'article du New-York Times : nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/… 📖 Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche → amazon.fr/dp/B0GPCCMS68/
