Must watch. Explains how truly intelligent people on both sides get caught up in delusions and biases. I'm most definitely not infallible here because I'm merely human. The key to overcoming these biases is by having curiosity to keep learning and humility to admit you are wrong, likely alot. My motto in life is always try to get better every single day. Thank you @G_S_Bhogal for making this extremely informative video. I hope that @elonmusk and others share it because it is a must watch for anyone that truly cares about the truth.

Imagine what could be between a free Iran and America #FreeIran

@libertyleighton Of the evil Mullah terrorist regime?

Would you vote for a Thomas Massie Tucker Carlson Presidency in 2028?

@WatcherGuru Not enough. Should be quadrillionaire or 1000T.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. "$10T or bust"

@Kalshi Way too low, should be and will be quadrillion so 1000 trillions

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth

@DanTalks1 Brilliant move

This is a very difficult persuasion bind to break. It frames the US as a peaceful humanitarian and if Iran blocks it the aggressor. It forces Iranian fractured leadership to decide if they want to restart the war or not under negative regional optics. Humanitarian freedom of navigation ops have always been a great tool. It is a very good persuasion frame, its also a chip to play with all those countries vessels that require this who are actually suffering (as he described). Its as much playing with their internal politics as it is reframing the global optics of the war. Also an interesting way to restart the war. A test to the current Iranian leadership as to who is in charge. Always making the opponent make tough decisions.

Brilliant move. The evil Mullah terrorist regime either folds like a cheap chair or enables Trump to wipe them off the face of the Earth. Lose lose. This is why America holds all the cards.

@bundeskanzler @lauferlaw Too little too late #FreeIran

The United States is and will remain Germany‘s most important partner in the North Atlantic Alliance. We share a common goal: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

@tparsi Tick tock #FreeIran

A few observations on what has been reported as Iran’s three-phase proposal to the United States. I have been able to confirm some elements, though not all. ⏺️Overall, the Iranians appear to be pursuing a grand bargain—without labeling it as such. This is not merely a proposal aimed at securing a ceasefire, or even a formal end to the current conflict, but rather an attempt to resolve the broader U.S.-Iran antagonism that has persisted for the past 47 years. Implicit in this approach is an expectation that both sides would also restrain their respective regional partners and proxies (Israel, Hezbollah, etc.). In many respects, framing the proposal in this way may align more effectively with Trump’s instincts and psychology. ⏺️It is somewhat surprising that the proposal appears to frontload an end to the war before addressing the nuclear issue. If the conflict is fully de-escalated at the outset, Iran risks losing a significant source of leverage over Trump. Iran’s nuclear program alone has not been sufficient to extract meaningful concessions from Washington, as was evident during the recent ceasefire period. This sequencing may reflect a concession to China and other Asian countries, which have grown increasingly frustrated with bearing the economic costs of a conflict initiated by Trump and Israel. ⏺️The call for an international mechanism to guarantee a non-return to war suggests that any final agreement would, at a minimum, need to be codified in a UN Security Council resolution, with Russia and China serving as guarantors. From Tehran’s perspective, Trump’s personal assurances carry no credibility. ⏺️There is also mention of a revised compensation clause within a new framework, indicating that the fees Tehran might seek in the Straits could be modified or reframed. One potentially more acceptable approach for a broad range of states would be to characterize such charges not as tolls, but as maintenance fees shared with Iran and Oman. This could include oversight of environmental and navigational management, particularly given the high volume of maritime traffic that typically transits the Straits. ⏺️The reported proposal for a 15-year enrichment freeze is somewhat surprising. This would make more sense if it remains tied to a needs-based enrichment framework, as outlined in the earlier Geneva proposal. Under that approach, Iran would only enrich uranium sufficient to fuel two reactors: the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) and another reactor not expected to come online for approximately seven years. Given that the TRR already possesses enough fuel for the next 5–7 years, Iran would not require additional enrichment during that period. This timeline could be extended—potentially to 15 years—either by downblending existing 60% enriched uranium and turning it into fuel pads now, or by securing external fuel supplies (from France or Russia, for example) to cover future needs. In that sense, the arrangement would technically not constitute a moratorium. ⏺️Iran’s proposal to negotiate a comprehensive regional security framework in phase three is not new. It dates back to UN Security Council Resolution 598, which ended the Iran-Iraq War. Tehran has pursued such an arrangement for decades. The United States should view this constructively: any framework that enables a reduction of U.S. military presence while encouraging regional actors to assume greater responsibility for their own security aligns with the stated objectives of the Trump administration. ⏺️What remains unclear in the reporting is the scope of sanctions relief Iran would seek in return. If Tehran is indeed aiming for a grand bargain, it will likely expect the lifting of all sanctions—primary and secondary U.S. sanctions, as well as UN-imposed measures. Let's see what happens.

How you can watch videos like this and not scream at the top of your lungs to help the people of Iran is truly sickening. History will never forget the silence, indifference or even resistance of so many to ensuring the evil Mullah terrorist regime is fully defeated once and for all.

@nettermike It has nothing to do with saving the planet for me. I have zero interest in ever going to a gas station ever again. Charging your car in your own garage is life changing.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is taking a jab at electric cars, calling them a “big, stupid virtue signal." “I’m not interested in electric cars at all," Seinfeld reportedly said in an interview. "Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big, stupid virtue signal. ‘Look at me. I’m saving the planet, yeah.’ What about the lithium? It’s all BS."

@spencerpratt Amen

Women and children first

@aziz0nomics Agreed. He's a bad apple and extremist and extremism is the root of all evil.

There is something wrong with Ben Gvir, I swear. This is just pathological behaviour. He loves death.

@wolfejosh Amazing watch, thank you for sharing. Humility and curiosity is the key and definitely a good reminder.

why smart people believe stupid things:

@gbrew24 @adamscochran @matthew_petti Lulz #FreeIran

@adamscochran @matthew_petti He said last night he would be reviewing the details (which he indicated he had just received). So I'm not sure WH has made a clear determination on this offer, as yet.

Details on Iran's proposal are now getting out--what Iran is offering, rather than just its demands. -15 year enrichment freeze, after which time Iran will enrich to 3.5% -an international body to administer a general peace between the US, Israel, Iran and Hezbollah. -reopening of the strait, including minesweeping (Iran has offered to cooperate with US on this). -gradually ending blockade (so not immediate) -a new clause on "compensation" (unclear but could address tolls)

@JennL_1 @jemelehill It's called inference

@SFSportsAndTech @jemelehill Where does he say that?

Let me make sure I have my ID on me when I go to pick up this Chipotle.

Crimes against humanity and most of the world is sitting silent. Why? Hatred of Israel and Jews. Hatred of Trump. Desire for cheap oil at the expense of 90 million Iranians caged like animals. Shame on all of you for your silence, indifference or continued support of the evil Mullah terrorist regime. History will never forget. #FreeIran

@ForgiatoBlow47 What a stupid question

Father who beat man to death for raping his 5 year old daughter face no charges in texas RIGHT OR WRONG

@SaP011 Extremism is the root of all evil. Even empathy has its limits

Estibaliz Kortazar, a far-left Spanish activist, did what good comrades do, she opened her home to a North African migrant. Once he got what he wanted, the man started sexually harassing her, insulting her, and beating her. Then he threw her out, changed the locks, and took over the house. She called the police for help. Their response? “We can’t do anything without a court order.” Now she’s sleeping at relatives’ houses, seeing a psychologist after a nervous breakdown, and has launched a petition to fast-track the legal process and get her home back.
