If you’re concerned about the pro-Hamas protests let me reassure you they are not about Hamas. This is simply rehearsal for 2025 when deportations begin and the border is closed. Do you know how much $ is being made off “migrants”? No way are the beneficiaries going away.

@Osint613 @HeKasrehCrisis Why haven’t the Dems complained about the lack of diversity in Iran leadership?

@Denlidispatch @Osint613 What bigger crisis than leaving insane mullahs in charge of the straits in perpetuity? There is no move that makes long term sense other than securing the gulf from Iran and make it an open waterway. Otherwise, it’s a perpetual hostage situation. Or you build pipelines.

@Osint613 Rejecting force here isn’t weakness — it’s recognition that a military move could trigger a far bigger crisis than the blockade itself.

French President Macron on the Strait of Hormuz: "Opening it by force is not the option we have chosen, we consider it unrealistic. A military operation would take an infinite amount of time and expose forces to immense coastal and ballistic risks. From the beginning, we have said it must be reopened, but only in coordination with Iran. The world cannot live with a strait that can be opened or closed overnight."

@Osint613 Moron. You know what else is exposed to “ballistic risk”? Paris.

@B_AD_tokyohound @MsMelChen The Poles, Romanians, the Baltic states, Germany were simply aghast when the Russians left during Gorbachev. They really missed the warm and comforting embrace of their Eastern neighbor.

I think the US have a tendency to think they are more powerful than they actually are. Without European bases the US wouldn't be able to project its power to the extent that it does. It needs to resupply and used Europe to do that. Russia has never been a threat, it was the US that has instigated it since the cold war. And Europe fell in line part of weak leadership and a want to work with the US. Ukraine is a result of US regime change, and it continues today because under Biden Zelensky was told to keep fighting forget peace with Putin. Thats what they've been doing. But it was Trump in his first administration that gave the go ahead to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine. He escalated as per usual. And the middle east, again Israel intel, US acting as a hegemon and little bitches in Europe brown-nosing. If the US withdrew from NATO it would be doing Europe a favour and to the wider world.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@Bitcoin__Jack__ @Desertfox1944er @MsMelChen I would wait to act until 50 hypersonic missiles hit Paris carrying dirty bombs. You’ll be dead, of course, but just think of how morally superior you’ll feel at the time of your death.

@Desertfox1944er @MsMelChen In Europe, they want to wait out the reign of a madman, and that's all there is to it. And NATO is a DEFENSE alliance, not a private military outfit of the US or Israel.

@SteveRob Simple. Paint a picture of the Ukrainian girl murdered in Charlotte. City will rescind this demand instantly.

Portland will give 100 free needles to a fentanyl user, let them defecate on your store front, refuse to clean it up bc “private property,” and when your restaurant closes and has to be boarded up, they’ll start fining you for blighting the city. Progressive paradise.

@ABC How could you have “no ties” with the place you immigrated from?

In recent months, thousands of immigrants living legally in the U.S. and waiting for rulings on their asylum claims were suddenly ordered deported to countries where most have no ties. abcnews.link/dyMnOUq

@Udntnonutn @Logically_JC I didn’t put it in quotes for a reason. But you can view her Ted talk and many other statements where, among other things, she declared “objective truth” as “antiquated ….and there are many truths”

That line’s not an actual quote, it’s a blatant paraphrase and distortion. What she actually said is how narratives can shape or even distort truth, and why journalism has to be careful to be aware of that. She didn’t say “truth doesn’t matter”. She literally said the opposite.

Can someone explain why they hate NPR so much?

@Udntnonutn @Logically_JC Yeah, except for Katherine Maher, CEO of NPR, declaring truth gets in way of a good story.

@Logically_JC Because NPR and PBS actually vet their reporting. Multiple sources, editorial standards, corrections when they get something wrong. When you’re used to opinion disguised as news, actual journalism can feel biased.

@Logically_JC “They”?

@SKMorefield If the Ottoman Empire hadn’t treated Arabs like second class citizens for 400 years life would be better especially if the Russian Empire didn’t have aspirations on the Dardanelles and Istanbul in 1914.

If we had just minded our own business regarding the Middle East over the last 75 years instead of constantly meddling, if we had never built a base, never sent an operative, never gave money, never did a single purposeful thing to cause instability or attempt to overthrow a regime we didn't like for one reason or another, if our involvement had been relegated only to friendly trading with partners willing to trade, the world would be exponentially safer than it is right now. I am a proud American and believe this country has done far more good than bad in its history, but it is an irrefutable fact that our actions in the Middle East have made things worse, not better, than they would have been in our absence.

@AlbertFiorino @JamesMelville @sherlockeditor All wars are wars of choice.

Malum est privatio boni. Evil is a privation of good; a corruption of all that is good in our being, in our thoughts, and in our deeds. These horrific wars of choice by POTUS and Netanyahu are simply evil reflecting a total privation of all that is good in the human potential. Analyses, commentaries, reports about this evil are no longer sufficient. This situation has reached a most critical level and calls for immediate action aimed at eradicating this evil that is now threatening the entire human family. This posting is not intended to exonerate other authoritarian and cruel regimes presently oppressing fellow human beings throughout the world. They too must change their ways for the common good of their peoples and humanity. There are no half-way houses between good and evil. We urgently must make the right choices now if we are to prevent the apocalyptic consequences that an escalation of the present warfare can produce.

Parts of Gaza, Lebanon and Iran are being flattened. Thousands of innocent children have been killed. Millions of people displaced. And before anyone says “But, Hamas, Hezbollah”…Imagine if Britain had done the same to Ireland after the IRA bombings? You cannot justify this.

@ThePaulAllens @Oilfield_Rando This should take another 20 years or so for the baby boomers to be gone. Then you can start anew.

@Oilfield_Rando The short answer is to fund social security until every boomer is done r@ping the system for their own gain. Not sarcasm….

If AI is going to eliminate a gorillion jobs, why do we need a growing population? We’d just have more people who need more welfare.

@Oilfield_Rando Since the people not reproducing are Progs, and given how they also tend to be (at the other end of the spectrum) hippy residue this could be quite positive for the country. Other than India and Nigeria the demographic collapse is quite broad through the developed economies

@DailyMail Well this is embarrassingly stupid. But I suppose that’s what you’re aiming for.

@NBC10 @reporternicolem Why do you think the comments are “right wing influencers” and Republicans? Were the George Floyd murals and statues labeled as “left wing influencers” and Democrat’s comments? I’m not any of those categories and I think taking the mural down is an act of cowardice.

NBC 10's @reporternicolem is following new developments in the backlash over a mural of Iryna Zarutska in downtown Providence. Watch NBC 10 News tonight.
