"We are concerned about nuclear proliferation, especially when countries are not party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty." -- Scott McLean presses Anita Anand on Israel possessing a nuclear weapon
According to Bangladeshi media reports, a cow that looks a lot like Trump has been found in the country and has quickly become a celebrity. Many are now coming to see him in person and take pictures.
@cem_uk_ You see, in the quiet corridors of power, morality is often less a compass and more a costume. It is worn when convenient and discarded when it becomes restrictive
Controversial Take
If someone gets into the ring as a fighter and then gets hit so hard they go to hospital an/or die, then it isn't the fault of the person who hit them
It's the fault of a system that thinks fighting is fun
Fighting isn't entertainment. People get hurt
Iran's retaliatory strikes are more powerful than expected
- Why is there a tendency in the West to underestimate opponents? Iran's "regime" would collapse, Russia could easily be defeated and their economy is weak, China cannot innovate, etc.
- These assumptions are not the result of informed debate. We are not allowed to dissent as recognising the strength of opponents is denounced as being "pro-Iran", "pro-Russia" or "pro-China".
- Bad analysis results in bad policies. What kind of policies do we get when it is not permitted to discuss the security concerns of opponents, not allowed to have an honest discussion about their strength, not allowed to speak with our opponents etc. Our culture of censorship and cancellation has made us blind, deaf and dumb.
For those who post about being anti-war: that' super for you, in your comfortable existance. 🙄In other words: STFU.
Palestinians didn't ask to be warred upon by Israel & the US, nor did Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Yemenis.
This Iranian retaliation is called justice, although it does not suffice.
True justice will be when the genocidal, sociopathic, murderous, racist, belligerent state known as Israel is no more.
The Chinese team lost 0-1 to Indonesia, bidding farewell to the 2026 World Cup. Indonesian fans were so kind that they pointed out the way to the airport for the Chinese team, lol.
