Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

For Ziad Abi Chaker, a Lebanese #environmental entrepreneur, the #circular #economy is a critical framework for rethinking how resources are used over time. Often reduced to #recycling and #waste reduction, Abi Chaker instead describes it as a full redesign of how the economy functions. “A circular economy is a monumental task,” he explains. thebeiruter.com/article/waste-…

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.

Niccolò Machiaveli : "To ally with great powers to defeat your neighbor is a strategic trap; if you win, you become the slave of the greater power; if the allied power is defeated, you remain alone and defenseless against the angry neighbor, and you are destroyed." [The Prince]

The bombs are still falling. But Washington has already lost. A former US military adviser said what most analysts are thinking: Trump’s war on Iran has alienated every ally America has left. Not some. All of them. Military victories can be measured in targets destroyed. This defeat cannot. It is happening in foreign ministries, in trade corridors, in quiet conversations between leaders who no longer trust Washington to behave like a serious country. The United States turned against its allies. The tariffs came first. Then the threats against Greenland. Then the abandonment of Ukraine. Now a unilateral war that nobody signed up for, followed by demands that everyone join in anyway. When you spend years burning bridges, do not be surprised when nobody comes to your war. The military result in Iran is still uncertain. The strategic result is not. America is alone. And it got there fast. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

يجيب المهندس البيئي زياد أبي شاكر عن سؤال يتكرّر كثيراً: هل المياه التي نشربها ملوّثة؟ ويوضح كيف نتصرّف عند معرفتنا بمصدر مياه ملوّث ويتحدّث أيضاً عن سلامة الأسماك التي نتناولها تابعوا المزيد عبر موقع "النهار" رابط الموقع في "البايو" @Ziad_AC

📌الليرة اللبنانية… “الأقوى” في عالمٍ تتهاوى فيه العملات 📌 فيما تترنّح العملات الكبرى والناشئة تحت وطأة الحرب وتداعياتها، تقف الليرة اللبنانية—على نحوٍ يثير الدهشة—خارج المشهد 📌 اقتصادٌ منهار، مصارفُ مفلسة، دولةٌ غارقة في أزماتها… ومع ذلك، ليرةٌ “صامدة” كأنها بمنأى عن كل هذا الخراب 📌 أليست هذه المفارقة وحدها كفيلة بأن تعيد إلى الأذهان اسم رياض سلامة؟!

احلى شي سمعتو اليوم كل الحب للرائعة @ritahayek1 ❤️

What would the response look like if Iran intentionally bombed journalists from the FT, BBC, CNN, NYT, Reuters, etc. and the headlines were “Pro-US journalists killed,” “Pro-NATO journalists killed”, “Pro-Israel journalists killed”?

السَفَلة سيرحلون ... حتماً والربيع يعود ... دوماً

As the Israeli regime bombs, invades,and occupies Lebanon, destroys homes, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure, deploys toxic chemicals, displaces a million people, threatens annexation, and murders hundreds of people, the Lebanese army - funded and controlled by the US and other allies of the Israeli regime- has not so much as thrown a stone to defend Lebanon and its people, and it will not do so. In this context, calling for the disarming of the Lebanese resistance is the equivalent of calling for the end of Lebanese independence and sovereignty and the permanent subjugation of the Lebanese people. At a moment when the Israeli regime is attacking Lebanon and countries across the region, raping, pillaging, perpetrating genocide, and occupying three countries, you cannot oppose the only force offering defense and deterrence in Lebanon and still claim concern for Lebanon. As a matter of international law, Lebanon has a right to defend itself from external aggression and the Lebanese people have a right to resist foreign occupation, colonial domination, and racist regimes like that of Israel. To oppose this is to abandon the Lebanese people, to ignore international law, and to align yourself with bloody Israel regime aggression and murder.

No more cryptocurrency trading. No more food delivery apps. No more two-week vacations. The next 20 years: De-industrialization. Resource wars. Mass migration. Civil conflict. Famines. The people who survive will be the ones who saw it coming and prepared. The ones who didn't will be the last to understand why everything changed.

The idea that every sovereign country near Israel must cap its conventional weapons, limit its defensive capabilities, restrict missile and fighter jet ranges, and even dismantle its own military industries—just so Israel can "feel safe"—is completely absurd. Which other nation on Earth demands and receives this kind of privilege? This exceptionalism is especially ridiculous coming from a regime with such an inherently aggressive posture and track record in the region.

Absolute bombshell. Former Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent admits the US government intentionally armed Al Qaeda and created ISIS in Syria. They deliberately unleashed a global terror network just to overthrow Assad and protect Israel.

Belgium’s MEP Marc Botenga exposes Europe’s hypocrisy: “You sanction Russia, which attacks Ukraine — but you support the United States when it bombs Iran. You condemn Russia, which occupies Ukraine — but you support Israel occupying Palestine and Lebanon. We blame our opponents for what we allow our allies to do — cheerfully — while smiling at Tel Aviv and Washington. The double standard of this Europe is not only a shame — it creates a world of chaos and wars, a world in which we do not want to live, and in which we do not want our children to grow up. Today, this Europe is not a force for good, but an accomplice to crime. That’s enough.”

"The accumulation of waste inside displacement centers raises questions about the public health situation and crisis management. But what does environmental engineer Ziad Abi Chaker say about this crisis?" تراكم النفايات داخل مراكز النزوح يطرح تساؤلات حول الواقع الصحي وإدارة الأزمة لكن ماذا يقول المهندس البيئي زياد أبي شاكر عن هذه الأزمة؟

بدّي اعترف في جيل عند الشباب والصبايا المسيحية يللي بالعشرينات من عمرهم، عندهم وعي سياسي وحسّ المواطنة اكتر بكتير من جيل اللي خلقانين بالسبعينات والستينات. واعيين انو إسرائيل عدو لكل لبنان ومش لفئة معينة من اللبنانية، واعيين انو في قسم من الشعب اللبناني غبي وما عنده ايّ وعي عن اهمية التضامن الوطني الجامع ضد العدو، وواعيين انو ضرورة التضامن بين بعضنا ضد العدو. هيدا الشي بيخلّيني يكون عندي امل بالمستقبل 🙏🏻🇱🇧

يشهد الخطاب التحريضي ضد المهجرين تصاعدا جد مقلق. لم الكارنتينا؟ المرفأ؟ بعبدا؟ زغرتا؟ نشهد وجوه التحريض المعتادة تهب لاداء دورها الجديد مع استحضار عدة التخويف (تغير ديمغرافي، استيلاء على المرفأ..). على أجهزة الدولة التدخل لتغليب التضامن الوطني وأولا مكافحة التحريض والتخويف.
