Cash strapped, yet dangerously relevant. Friends and foes alike mock it, underestimate it, and write it off, until the moment they need it. yet it has stood up to an adversary many times its size in modern conflict. They call it irrelevant, yet it keeps reappearing as a bridge between hostile camps, even when a superpower is in the mix. Its own citizens bash it day in and day out. Yet this is Pakistan: threading its way through geopolitical landmines, moving cautiously, protecting its national interests, and staying ready for the madness. I once would have called that too emotional or jingoistic, not anymore. You only grasp Pakistan’s reality when you see the madness of geopolitics up close. ft.com/content/dc7ba7…

Oh wow, Tucker actually addressing the humongous elephant in the room!

The children breathing this air today will develop cancers 10, 20, 30 years from now. And nobody will connect it. Nobody will pay for their treatment. Nobody will be held accountable. When petroleum burns, it releases sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and toxic hydrocarbons into the air. When those chemicals mix with rain, they become SULFURIC ACID and NITRIC ACID. The rain causes "chemical burns to the skin and serious damage to the lungs." it's a chemical attack using oil as the weapon When Saddam burned oil wells in Kuwait in 1991, US veterans developed “Gulf War Syndrome” chronic pain, neurological damage, cancer. 30 years later, they're still dying from it. That was in the desert. This is inside a city of 10 million. But hey Lets Make Iran Great Again ☝🏼🥸

NEW: Dave Chappelle rips comedian Bill Maher for his "smug cracker ass commentary." "These motherf*ckers act like because I did a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia, I somehow betrayed my principles." "They said, 'Well, Saudi Arabia k*lled a journalist...'" "I mean, look, Israel is a country. Israel has k*lled 240 journalists in the last three months. So I didn't know y'all was still counting."

“Gobi farming” refers to glorifying the mass killing of Muslims in Bhagalpur, Bihar, in 1989. A cauliflower farm was planted on the graves to hide evidence. This is Modi’s BJP Minister from Assam. Not some fringe element. Clearly, @PMOIndia approves this. The world should know.

This is why I’m way beyond just Free Palestine now. I’m Justice for Palestine, revenge for Palestine

The fuck.

Um, he didn't do it. He was 10 at the time.

It’s been over 25 years since Muhammad al-Durrah was shot in Gaza while his father tried to shield him: israeli terror didn’t start 2 years ago

I'm sorry but reading in translation does not count as reading. To understand a text you must read it in the original and also if possible construct an immersive simulation of the author's life and historical context

An insane sentence. Zero headlines.
