"One ought to recognize that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end" - George Orwell

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war. The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started. Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous. If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Gaza: ▪️A peer-reviewed study in The Lancet Global Health estimated 75,200 violent deaths between October 7, 2023, and January 5, 2025. ▪️Over 65,000 additional deaths from starvation. ▪️Women and children comprise approximately 60% to 70% of total fatalities. ▪️An additional 10,000 people are estimated to be missing and presumed buried under rubble.  ▪️Over 80% of buildings in Gaza are reported to be damaged or destroyed, with an estimated 320,000+ housing units affected and over 60 million tonnes of rubble created. Hell on earth. And there is absolutely no justification for this scale of atrocity whatsoever.

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...

@seanhannity You wouldn't believe how happy most citizens in NATO countries would be to get out of it. Ami go home.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio questions NATO’s value, warning the alliance becomes a “one-way street” if the U.S. can’t use European bases to defend its own interests: “Sean, I’ve been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as a United States senator, because I found great value in it. And it wasn’t just about defending Europe—I said it also allowed us to have military bases in Europe that let us project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened. If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can’t use those bases—that, in fact, we can no longer use those bases to defend America’s interests—then NATO is a one-way street. Then NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help—not even airstrikes, just access to military bases—their answer is no. Then why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question.  So I think there’s no doubt, unfortunately, that after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship. We’re going to have to reexamine the value of NATO for our country. Ultimately, that’s a decision for the president to make.”

@lugosi187161813 @MartinSonneborn Diese Typen sind keine Muslime, die sind Sunniten. Würdest du das gelten lassen?

@Jutta___H @MartinSonneborn Diese Typen sind keine Christen. Das sind Evangelikale. Scofield "Bible". Großer Unterschied. GROSSER! -.-

Mein Gott! Haben die was im Wasser, oder was? Es ist immer wieder verblüffend festzustellen, dass es eigentlich kaum etwas gibt, das in den USA NICHT irgendwie daneben geht. Alles, womit diese Typen in Berührung kommen, wird nicht nur unmittelbar missverstanden & entwertet, sondern nachgerade in gefährlichen Schrott verwandelt - wie von einem umgekehrten Midas, der sogar aus tonnenweise Gold noch tonnenweise Scheiße machen kann. Vor allem aber gibt es keine einzige Theorie und kein einziges Konzept, das in den USA NICHT vollständig degeneriert wäre. Denn so, wie es dort praktiziert wird, waren weder Kapitalismus noch Demokratie noch, Hüstel, das Christentum gemeint. Hier sehen Sie den Primitivling & US-„Kriegsminister“ (?) Hegseth beim gestrigen Gottesdienst (??) im Pentagon (???) dafür beten (????), der „Allmächtige“ möge seinen „Zorn ausgießen“, „den Gottlosen die Zähne ausschlagen“ und „überwältigende Gewalt“ über die bringen, „die keine Gnade verdienen“. Die USA - ein zynisches Mäuseexperiment zur Klärung der Frage, was die Menschheit am schnellsten um die Ecke bringt: 1) Die (US-) Mafia-Version von Kapitalismus 2) Die US-Slapstick-Version von Demokratie 3) Die US-Rambo-Version von Christentum oder 4) Eine fünfköpfige Herde unansehnlicher Nichtskönner mit den Egos von Neandertalern, Anzügen von Woolworth Kids, der Analysekapazität von Gott und dem strategischen Tiefsinn einer Schwarzwälder Stubenfliege.

@WhiteHouse Chicken

🚨 President Donald J. Trump calls for a pause on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.

@J1MMYJAMJAM @camarada_gato @Matt_Bracken48 You are delusional. Have you followed the Ukraine war? US soldiers will be hunted down man by man with FPVs. It's a nightmare. US drones are spare, expansive a mediocre.

@camarada_gato @Matt_Bracken48 Not holding it with men. Denying it with drones. This is 99% unmanned. You'll get a chopper showreel set to cool music, see a flag raised in a geo locatable area and for all intents and purposes, it's 'taken'. It could of already started. Hey, someone asked, so there you go.

Will somebody please explain to me how, with the Strait of Hormuz a no-go-zone for the U.S. Navy, and our warships driven out of the Persian Gulf, we can support a USMC amphibious landing on Kharg Island, 750 miles from the eastern tip of Oman?🧵 Is the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group going to storm into the Persian Gulf, where our Burke-class destroyers won't go? Obviously not. This idea is insane. How about by helo and tilt-rotor? Out of range. What if they stage in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia for helo and Osprey lifts across the Gulf? Russia and China will tell Iran where to aim their drones and missiles while the force is assembling. Maybe a mass paradrop? Straight into an "Alamo" siege. Great idea. Not. What if the Marines just capture some of those "small" islands in the Strait of Hormuz? Qeshm is bigger than Okinawa. Larak is bigger than Iwo Jima. Any idea how many Marines and Soldiers it took to conquer just those 2 islands, at what cost in KIA and WIA? I keep reading absolute MORONS on X telling how some A-10s are "softening up" an area larger than South Vietnam, so that a few thousand Marines can attack and hold . . . what? It's as if space aliens studying only still images had no sense of scale of earth creatures, and thought a mouse could eat an elephant. It boggles my mind.

@lostguy79 If this happend, neither China nor Russia are surprised, because it's prob. Chinese tech.

BREAKING: Huge shockwaves in the military world today! 🚨 Iran has took down TWO American F-35s in just 24 hours. Military experts from US, Russia and China are reportedly losing their minds over this. Because The F-35 is basically the "Final Boss" of fighter jets. Its whole thing is Stealth Mode—it’s supposed to be invisible. You can’t lock onto it because, on radar, it’s not even there. 👻✈️ If Iran, with only basic air defense ,actually detected, tracked, and HIT these jets... it’s a massive L for America’s most expensive tech. The trillion-dollar "invisible" jet just got seen and hit… Remember China and Russia are actually surprised but US experts are 😮 shocked..

@Striekspoen @MartinSonneborn Dafür müsste die Transaktion in chinesischen Yuan gezahlt werden. Ihr glaubt doch selbst nicht, dass irgendein deutscher Politiker dazu die Eier hätte.

@MartinSonneborn Das mag sein. Das zu bewerten und zu entscheiden liegt aber im Denken des Iran, nicht bei Ihnen oder mir. Alles immer eine Sache von Verhandlungen und Diplomatie. Wer sich hier nun verweigert zeigt ja eindeutig, was er möchte.

Meine Damen und Herren, Vorhang auf für das Reflexionsniveau der Chefdiplomatin der Europäischen Union. Für Kaja Kallas ist ein völkerrechtswidriger Angriffskrieg mit Tausenden von Toten, 3,2 Millionen Vertriebenen und dem größten Ökozid der Menschheitsgeschichte eine Liebesaffäre, in die man leicht einmal hinein-, aber nur schwer wieder herausrutschen könne. Ein geopolitisches Kavaliersdelikt! Allmählich glauben wir, dass die gesamte Führungsspitze der EU installiert wurde, um 450 Millionen EU-Bürger in den Wahnsinn zu treiben... #TrullahRegime

You've got to hand it to Iran: that's masterful asymmetric warfare. If they pull this off and suddenly oil transiting through Hormuz is traded in Yuan, we're talking potentially close to $1 trillion less in annual demand for dollars (20% of the world's oil + LNG). It'd be insanely impressive to achieve this simply by controlling a 30-mile strait with a few missiles and drones. And it'd have compounding effects: $1 trillion less in demand for dollars means less foreign buying of US Treasuries, higher borrowing costs in the U.S., more inflation, etc. Heck even if this doesn't materialize, the mere fact they're suggesting it and that it's taken seriously by mainstream media like CNN is impactful in and of itself: at the end of the day dollar supremacy is also very much based on inertia. But inertia works both ways: once enough people start questioning it, the questioning itself becomes self-reinforcing. Imagine you're a central banker and you're seeing this: you're undoubtedly telling yourself "mmm, maybe it's time to hold a bit more yuan, just in case." It's also pretty ironic: the U.S. has weaponized the dollar against others countless times - including, of course, against Iran - but I can't think of a precedent of a country actively at war with the U.S. using the dollar's dominance as a weapon against them. Literally flipping the playbook, which sets an interesting precedent. All in all, in this war you really have the feeling to witness Sun Tzu's maxim about "knowing the enemy and knowing yourself" in real time: Trump obviously completely failed to understand what he was getting into. Iran, on the other hand, clearly studied its enemy's vulnerabilities, be it hitting Gulf countries until they question whether being a U.S. ally protects or endangers them, choking oil supply to inflict economic pain the US can't bomb its way out of, or now attacking the dollar itself. The U.S. only has bombs to reply, but hard to see how they could bomb their way out of problems that were entirely predictable consequences of their bombing in the first place, if anyone had spent five minutes thinking about what Iran might do in response.

@dany_bmg @PolitRealist Lass gut sein. Das, was wir zwei hier machen, hat gar keinen Sinn. Du bist neutralen Mapper-Informationen ggü. unzugänglich und scheinst mich nur zum Aggressionsabbau zu benutzen. Keiner wird den anderen überzeugen, weder jetzt noch in 3 Monaten.

@Jutta___H @PolitRealist Was verstehst du an keine großartige Veränderung nicht? Ist es wirklich so schwer für dich? Und ja, aktuell gewinnt die Ukraine eher Gebiete zurück als Russland etwas erobert.

Es ist ganz einfach: Die Ukraine kann den Krieg nicht gewinnen, es sei denn, die NATO – und damit wir – steigen direkt ein. Das würde jedoch unweigerlich zum Dritten Weltkrieg führen und Deutschland zerstören. Alles andere ist das bewusste Verheizen der ukrainischen Bevölkerung, im vollen Wissen, dass die Ukraine diesen Krieg nicht gewinnen kann. Die EU und das Bandera-Regime bestehen weiterhin auf den NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine, ebenfalls wird eine Begrenzung der ukrainischen Armee abgelehnt. Na dann, viel Spaß.

@dany_bmg @PolitRealist Nicht großartig meint also kleine Gewinne für die UKR? Oder etwa für RU, weil das kann ja nicht sein. Die UKR gewinnt ja gerade! Magst du dich nicht festlegen? Hab ich mich ja getraut. Kannste in 3 Monaten behaupten, egal was kommt, dass du richtig lagst. Erbärmlich. 🤭

@Jutta___H @PolitRealist Richtig lesen, nicht großartig verändert.

@grok @dany_bmg @PolitRealist @grok Iran: Nicht nur das Internet und der Mobilfunk innerhalb kürzester Zeit abgeschaltet, sondern auch Starlink vollständig gejammt. 20.000 illegale Terminals nutzlos. Die Technologie dafür stammt entweder aus China oder RU. Kurz darauf Starlink für RU tot. Zufall?

Starlink wurde Anfang Februar 2026 auf Bitte des ukrainischen Verteidigungsministers Mykhailo Fedorov deaktiviert, da russische Truppen es illegal für präzise Angriffe nutzten. SpaceX führte ein Whitelist-System ein, das nur verifizierte Terminals erlaubt. Russland rechnete damit, war aber abhängig geworden, wie Blogger berichten. Kein Zusammenhang mit Jamming: Der Schritt behindert Russland, Starlink bleibt für Ukraine wertvoll trotz russischer Jamming-Versuche (ähnlich Iran, wo GPS-Jammer es um bis zu 80% schwächen, aber nicht vollständig blocken).

@grok @dany_bmg @PolitRealist @grok Warum wurde erst jetzt entschieden Starlink abzustellen? Musste RU nicht damit rechnen? Könnte der Zeitpunkt damit zusammen hängen, dass die RU Starlink für die UKR jammen können und es daher für die UKR an Wert verloren hat? Siehe Iran als Beweis.

Russland nutzte Starlink-Terminals illegal, oft über Schmuggel aus Zentralasien, da sie bessere Geschwindigkeit und Abdeckung boten als eigene Systeme. Dies dauerte bis Anfang Feb. 2026, als SpaceX nach ukrainischer Bitte einen "Whitelist"-Mechanismus einführte und unbefugte Geräte deaktivierte. Nach dem Abschalten greift Russland auf Alternativen wie Ballon-basierte 5G-Systeme (Barazh-1, getestet 13. Feb. 2026), Glasfaserleitungen, WLAN-Brücken und digitale Funkmodems zurück. Es werden auch Einheimische rekrutiert, um Zugriff wiederherzustellen. Russland plant mit "Rassvet" eine eigene Konstellation: Erste 16 Satelliten verzögert auf 2026, 156 weitere 2026, 292 in 2027; kommerzielle Nutzung ab 2027 mit über 250 Satelliten.

@dany_bmg @PolitRealist @grok Warum konnte RU Starlink so lange benutzen? Welche Maßnahmen hat Russland ergriffen, um die fehlende Kommunikation nach dem Abschalten von Starlink zu verbessern? Wann plant RU eigene Satelliten zu senden, die wie Starlink funktionieren?

@Jutta___H @PolitRealist An der Frontlinie wird sich nicht viel verändern, außer RU bekommt das Problem mit Starlink nicht gelöst, dann kann die UKR durchaus einiges zurückgewinnen. Aber werden wir ja sehen.🤭

Why shape public opinion with rational arguments when you can manipulate the language

@dany_bmg @PolitRealist Wir treffen uns in 3 Monaten wieder: Was ist deine Voraussage, wo wird die Frontlinie in 3 Monaten verlaufen? Damit wir wirklich vergl können, wer heute näher an die Wahrheit gekommen ist. Meine ist wie gesagt: Ru vor den Toren von Kramatorsk und Sloviansk. Konstant. gefallen.

@Jutta___H @PolitRealist In Huljaipole geht es für die RU gerade rückwärts, Konstantinivka gehört nachwievor noch den UKR, es wurden nur kleine Abschnitte überschritten und auch da geht es mittlerweile wieder Rückwärts für die RU. Aber warten wir mal den Sommer ab.🤣😜
