Just posting this again, for no particular reason

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, says: “We spread the Salafi-Wahhabi ideology at the request of the United States to confront the Soviet Union in the 1980s.”

@TMT_arabic The Clown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman,

This is Nabatieh in southern Lebanon. Usually a bustling city full of people, it is now a grey ghost town, shop windows smashed by blast waves. Three, four storey apartments reduced to the familiar heaps of life beneath rubble. The Zionists don't target military, they target civilians, children, commerce, gas stations, livelihood, memories, futures. They erase medics, hospitals, universities. They bomb ambulances as they arrive at the scene of the first strike, to rescue injured civilians. This is a sustained ethnic cleansing campaign by the Zionists. Gaza first, West Bank and Lebanon.

🚨🇲🇽🇨🇺 BREAKING — Decolonization Mexico Vows to Support Cuba Against US Imperialism. The US Will Never Rule Cuba Again.

Can we get this article about Palantir shared 1000 times?

🚨🇺🇦🇮🇷 BREAKING: Zelenksy, who lost Lugansk, Donetsk, Crimea, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia — and who was unable to defend his airspace despite NATO's intervention — has now declared WAR ON IRAN... Anything to get more U.S. taxpayer dollars...

If you happen to have an atom of sympathy with Israel, just remember Israel burned people alive, including the wounded, in their displacement tents. I watched their charred, melted bodies before my eyes. A necklace or a ring was their identifier.

What he says and the way he says it is horrifying.

Disgraceful interview with Maureen Lipman by @JonnyDymond on @BBCWorldatOne Lipman says Israel is “acting in self defence” in Gaza. Dymond does not challenge her despite overwhelming evidence that Israel is carrying out a GENOCIDE Lipman says critics of Israel are antisemitic. Again Dymond does not challenge her

You only have to look at what the USA did to Korea and Vietnam to understand the depths of depravity and evil that they're capable of. More recently Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran. The USA is undoubtedly the greatest threat to the people of Earth.

@FurkanGozukara oh my god the exact same playbook as Ukraine’s Maidan

Amazing how the media can tell you all about human rights abuses in Iran, but when the US is causing people on ventilators to die in Cuba, there is radio silence. Apparently, human rights only matter when we need an excuse to start a war.

There’s a complete media blackout in Japan. No major newspaper has covered the fact that over 10K ppl came out to protest the Japanese PM’s support for ZioAmerika’s war on Iran. Instead China’s Xinhua News, which has 11 million subscribers, covered the protests meticulously.

To understand Putin’s behaviour, one must first understand the forces that guide it. He is constrained by two overriding priorities: the interests of the Russian economic elite, and the preservation of the post-WWII power structure. Once this is understood, many actions that are usually dismissed as naïveté, indecision, or an inability to learn suddenly become coherent. His behaviour is not random or irrational. Every decision is weighed against these two interests, and actions that threaten them are avoided for as long as possible. The United States, by contrast, is guided by a long-term strategy of maintaining hegemony. It understands these Russian constraints perfectly—and has exploited them ruthlessly for years. Washington carefully engineers situations and escalations that, taken individually, are not severe enough to justify retaliation when weighed against Moscow’s priorities. Yet cumulatively, they erode thresholds, normalize what was once unthinkable, shift red lines, and ultimately produce a catastrophic collapse of deterrence and sovereignty in service of American long-term strategy. The situation is made even more dangerous by a fundamental asymmetry: the longer escalation is tolerated, the more force is required to restore deterrence. Retaliation must not only outweigh the most recent provocation—it must outweigh the total accumulated gains the adversary has achieved through all prior transgressions. Otherwise, deterrence fails. For example: After the first missile strike on a refinery, deterrence can still be restored by destroying a decision-making center. Losing such an asset outweighs the benefit of a single strike on infrastructure—especially if the adversary can reasonably expect the same response again. But once twenty refineries have been destroyed, a single strike on a decision-making center no longer outweighs the benefits already accrued. At that point, retaliation loses its deterrent value. The cost imposed is simply too small relative to what has already been gained. This leads to a dangerous end state: the longer one waits, the higher the probability that deterrence can either a) no longer be restored at all, or b) only be restored through a level of force so extreme that it produces uncontrollable consequences—consequences that, in Putin’s case, directly contradict the very interests constraining him in the first place. The end result is strategic paralysis.

🚨JUST IN: While Americans are fed talking points, London is in the streets protesting the Iran war in real time. Thousands marching. Open dissent. No filter. The difference? They’re not pretending this escalation is normal.

A British court has heard evidence that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) “misled” its audience during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. The evidence was presented as part of documents in a case being heard by a UK employment tribunal, in which five journalists of Arab origin accuse the BBC of discrimination and of unfairly dismissing four of them for refusing what they described as racist and discriminatory practices within BBC Arabic service. The five complainants are Ahmed Rouaba, of Algerian origin; Dima Odeh, of Syrian origin; Nahed Najar, of Palestinian origin; and Mohamed El-Ashiry and Amer Sultan, both of Egyptian origin. The claimants are represented in the case by John Barnes from Albertson Solicitors.

If drawing an Israeli soldier stepping on the skull of a dead Palestinian is anti-Semitic, what do you make of this photograph of an Israeli soldier doing precisely that?

Dear UN Member States, As I prepare to deliver my 8th report to the UN, I reiterate: Israel poses a threat to international peace and security. I have documented its most egregious crimes. Now the obligation to act, and stop it, sparing innocent lives, rests with you.
