Writing about conflicts requires honesty.
I have readers who stopped reading my posts a while ago because they disagreed with my views on the Ukraine war, and who have now returned to follow me.
I also have American readers who are my friends and curse me out about three times a day. Some unfollow me and then come back after a few days.
Writing about conflicts means knowing that I will frustrate some people at times, but I have to be honest with everyone and with my own conscience.
When the source of information is honest, people can tell that even if they’re not reading exactly what they wanted, they’re looking at something serious that deserves reflection.
Every day I read several analysts I disagree with on many points, but they are honest and I’m very interested in their opinions. Disagreeing enriches us, as long as it is also done with honesty and good sense by those receiving the information.

@MarioNawfal It has always been according to article 5. When an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members. No where did it ever say if a NATO member does something stupid like attacking another sovereign nation, all members should join.
English
🇪🇺 NATO was built on "all for one." Right now it's more like "you got this, bro."
The U.S. funds, arms, and basically carries a 32-country alliance.
The whole idea since 1949 was simple.
If one member fights, everyone shows up.
Fast forward to now...
The U.S. steps into a conflict and suddenly the group chat goes silent.
🇫🇷 France blocks weapons flights over its territory. Trump calls them out. They shrug.
🇮🇹 Italy refuses landing rights for U.S. bombers. Some planes reportedly turned back mid-route.
🇪🇸 Spain shuts its airspace and locks both bases. Doors closed.
🇵🇱 Poland refuses to send Patriot batteries.
🇬🇧 The UK, the ride-or-die ally, goes on record: "This is not our war."
🇩🇪 Germany calls the whole operation illegal while hosting the largest U.S. base in Europe.
🇦🇺 Australia steps back.
🇨🇦 Canada doesn't even show up.
And that’s when it hits…
These aren't random countries. This is the core of the alliance.
Their reasoning is simple enough: "You didn't consult us. You started it."
For years Trump kept saying NATO only works when it's convenient.
Right now that argument is walking on its own two feet.
32 countries. One in the fight.
The rest watching from the sidelines.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The last 48 hours to prevent catastrophe... Axios reports a two-phase deal is being negotiated through Pakistani, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators, plus direct text messages between Witkoff and Iran's FM Araghchi. Phase one: a 45-day ceasefire. Phase two: permanent end to the war. Mediators say fully reopening Hormuz and resolving the uranium question can only happen in the final deal, not upfront. Iran won't surrender its two biggest bargaining chips for a temporary pause. The core problem: Iran doesn't trust this won't be another Gaza. A ceasefire on paper that Israel ignores whenever it wants. Tehran wants guarantees the bombing actually stops and doesn't restart in 45 days. Given Israel's track record of striking through every previous diplomatic window, that fear isn't irrational. Trump told Axios directly: "There is a good chance, but if they don't make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there." The operational plan for a massive strike on Iranian civilian infrastructure is ready to go. Iran has promised to retaliate against Gulf oil and water facilities if it happens. Mediators are warning Tehran this is the last real chance. Trump extended his deadline by 20 hours to Tuesday 8PM ET. That's either a sign negotiations are progressing or one final pause before the most destructive phase of the war begins. Source: Axios

I absolutely agree with you, Iran shouldn't have nuclear weapons. Which they didn't prior to June 2025. Confirmed by IAEA inspections prior to Iran kicking them out entirely and proceeded further enrichment after US/Israel lobbied massive attack on Iran for 12 days. Call me crazy but really sounds a lot like US is encouraging their enrichment.
English
@mattlo85 @MarioNawfal Iran told our negotiators they had enough 60% purified uranium to make 10 bombs after we’ve been clear that a radical Shia 12er regime can’t have a bomb. They can’t attack unarmed commercial shipping and they can’t have a nuke. There is no gray area here.
English
Trump doesn’t need Iran to give him an off-ramp. He can create his own
He can walk away today and call this a ‘win’ to the average American voter, and leave the rest of the world to clean up the mess with the Strait of Hormuz
I hope he does, as the alternative worries me
English
@roaringpeasant @MarioNawfal You are right, they don't. But one can always argue fruit of the poisonous tree. US/Israel started this aggression, Iran claims defense and protecting their sovereignty. Im not saying Iran is right. But facts are laid as they are.
English
@mattlo85 @MarioNawfal Iran is attacking unarmed commercial ships in international waters. That’s a war crime. The Strait wasn’t built by Iran. They have no right to attack or infringe on non military vessels.
English
@Samandavery2019 @MarioNawfal Nope, i have absolutely no idea. But polls and polymarket data doesn't look promising.
English
@mattlo85 @MarioNawfal Being in Malaysia, naturally you are an expert on the American mid-terms.
English
@MarioNawfal Now thats the biggest bs I've seen from you. All terms are only in favor of Israel/US. Iran will certainly never accept those terms. Iran has proposed their own terms. If Trump really sincere in ending it, he should accept some form of the terms provided by Iran.
English
If the Iranian regime does not accept Trump’s off-ramp, they shift from being the victim to becoming the aggressor
English
@MarioNawfal There is no reason Iran would agree with a seized fire. After the atrocities US has done, killed all their leaders and their families. US/Israel started this war. They either finish it or bend a knee. No middle grounds.
English
🇮🇷🇺🇸BREAKING - MAJOR:
Iran just rejected Trump's ceasefire proposal, and is hunkering down for a prolonged war!
All schools and universities are now closed nationwide until further notice.
And Tehran is refusing a new U.S. ceasefire proposal, while also saying it won’t open the Strait of Hormuz.
Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan are trying to convince Iran to engage in peace talks, but Iran has declined to meet with U.S. officials.
Trump has no choice but to escalate, as per his threats.
The Iranian regime just made a terrible mistake, and the Iranian people will suffer most (unless this is all part of the ongoing negotiations to seek better terms before the deadline expires)

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Iran FM Araghchi held a call with Russian FM Lavrov to address the escalating war. Tehran says the past 37 days of strikes hit everything: infrastructure, hospitals, schools, residential areas, even nuclear sites; calling them war crimes. They’re now demanding urgent UN action and warning about U.S. threats to Iran’s energy sector. Russia is backing that line. Lavrov condemned the strikes and warned the situation could escalate further. Source: Araghchi Tg

China is far from perfect, but because corruption is actually punished and tax dollars get funneled back into improving its society, the country's caliber and quality of life have starkly improved during our lifetime.
The clearest example is everybody's favorite topic, high speed rail. The first line was opened *after* the 2008 Beijing Olympics (between Beijing and Tianjin). Now, you can go to the most remote cities via HSR, which I used to go to Qufu, Confucius' birthplace, and Kaifeng, Northern Song Dynasty's capital - both shabby "Tier 4" cities.
During this same time period, not only has the US barely built anything, but QoL has plummeted everywhere. And now, the Orange Retard wants to make things even worse after creating a royal mess in Iran by defunding legitimate agencies. Cue "I know the world is scary right now but it's gonna get way worse" meme.
PS: included the video to illustrate one nice aspect of China's HSR system - I bought some wontons at a Shanghai train station, and noticed that they included a hot water pack to keep the food warm. It came in handy because I spent the first 20 minutes on the ride fiddling with my newly-purchased DJI Pocket before opening the bag.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The propaganda war is in full swing after the U.S rescued the second F-15 pilot from Iran.
Iran's state media are calling this a 'crash site', claiming they shot down the aircraft used to rescue the pilot.
The U.S is saying that some aircraft were stuck when they landed to refuel, so they purposefully blew them up to prevent the IRGC getting them.

What China is doing in Xinjiang is legitimately horrible. It would be a massive international scandal if the US and its UAE and Israeli proxies weren't doing stuff that was so much worse in Gaza, Sudan, and now Iran.
Thomas Juneau@thomasjuneau
I spent three weeks in Xinjiang in 2001, travelling all over the region. It is one of the, if not the most brutal, openly visible repression I've seen. And the situation has only gotten much worse since. You have to be spectacularly blind (or worse) not to see it.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 A NUCLEAR STRIKE ON IRAN MAY BE ISRAEL'S END GAME
Aaron Mate argued that Israel's extreme aggression indicates they may be preparing for nuclear escalation against Iran.
He suggested that the pattern of increasingly extreme policies is a clear indicator of that.
"They got away with 2 years of mass murder in Gaza.
They are stealing territory in Lebanon.
They just passed a measure in their parliament authorizing ethnic-based executions."
By @aaronjmate
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE WAR ON IRAN WILL BE DECIDED BY THE POLITICS OF FOLDING If the energy crisis of Hormuz puts Europe under more economic strain than it can handle, Aaron Mate sees it becoming a de facto Iranian ally; otherwise, the threat of Russia will compel it to help the U.S. The U.S., in turn, needs to find a way to strike a deal with Iran while the leverage it has over Europe is greater than Iran's desperation. "He's not even funding weapons to Ukraine right now, but he is selling them. I can see him restricting some of that. But he's in a bind, because I do think he needs his allies." By @aaronjmate
