Tee Time

I received several reactions to the discussion I hosted about how nuclear weapons may be used against Europe to restore deterrence. To be clear, this is not a normative argument about what I think should happen or what I think is just. My argument is what I think will happen. European leaders have become so deeply involved in the attacks on Russia that the Kremlin is under great pressure to restore its deterrence. Once Russia retaliates with conventional weapons against European targets (weapons facilities, logistics centres), the Europeans will more forcefully attack Russia. At this point, I believe that it is more likely than not that Russia could launch a limited nuclear strike (with tactical nuclear weapons, not strategic). This should not be a controversial prediction. NATO countries are doing the war planning; their intelligence agencies are doing the targeting; their contractors are pulling the trigger; they are supplying the long-range weapons; and they are also using NATO territory to strike Russia. This will only escalate as the Europeans are talking about mass-producing long-range weapons for "Ukraine" to strike deeper and deeper inside Russia, and are setting dates for when Europe will directly attack. Our political leaders are obsessed with defeating the world's largest nuclear power, which considers itself to be fighting in a war for its existence. It should worry us that our political leaders did not define what a NATO victory looks like in this scenario, and we should also be worried that our political leaders have incrementally become so directly involved in attacks on Russia and still pretend it is merely a war between Russia and Ukraine. Our political leaders sabotaged both the Minsk peace agreement and the Istanbul agreement, and then shut down all diplomacy for more than 4 years while declaring that "weapons are the path to peace". It is obligatory in Europe to pretend this is about "helping Ukraine", but this is dangerous self-delusion. Where exactly did we think this was heading? Is nuclear war not the obvious end? Can anyone imagine it ending in any different ways if we had done this during the Cold War or if Russia were now similarly attacking the US through a proxy? Biden once said that sending F-16s meant World War 3, yet now it has become controversial to point out that NATO clearly crossing the line between proxy war and direct war will trigger a nuclear war. I see no morality in such self-delusion. NATO escalations are now out of control, we are heading to war, and that war will not be limited to conventional weapons. The fact that this is dismissed as a "pro-Russian" argument demonstrates how completely lost we have become in mindless war propaganda. youtu.be/Q8PT0jiemKc

President Johnson admitted to Newsweek that the attack on the USS Liberty was deliberate but Jews blackmailed him into saying it was an accident. After this incident, the Jews in Johnson's inner circle spied on Johnson and relayed any new intelligence about the USS Liberty attack to Israel. These Jews were Democrat fundraiser Abe Feinberg. US Ambassador to the UN, Arthur Goldberg, US Lawyer, David Ginsberg, and Supreme Court Justice, Abe Fortas. These were Israeli agents posing as Americans. Like Jonathan Pollard said, all Jews have dual loyalty.

@Jvnior Not even a question

The Sufis seek to “die” before death—undergoing a profound inner transformation that brings them closer to Allāh in this very life. In Sufism, the concept of “die before you die” (mutū qabla an tamūtū) refers to the death of the ego (nafs) before physical death. This inner death involves shedding the illusions of the ego, desires, and attachments to the material world. By doing so, the seeker attains gnosis (ma‘rifa) and draws nearer to Allāh. #tasawwuf #sufism

@Bushra1Shaikh 💯

Somewhere right now, Bibi Netanyahu and Reza Pahlavi are staring at their phones in absolute disbelief as Trump reposts Abbas Araghchi. After years of "maximum pressure", we've arrived at "retweeting the Iranian Foreign Minister." I genuinely did not have Trump signal-boosting Araghchi on my 2026 bingo card. Truly unpredictable times.

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

@YusufAsunmogejo Not a Muslim but I had goosebumps on my body rewatching this video. It's amazing to see

This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup. This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory. The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before. Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring. The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.

@StrongMarriage5 Simple hacks but a lot of women still can't bring themselves to do this

How to make a husband happy: • initiate intimate time • make him feel desired • appreciate him and tell him • make him a sandwich or a good meal • give a loving embrace when he gets home from work • tell him you love him • don't treat him like he's only good for his paycheck • prioritize him over your phone • flirt with him • have fun with him ~ultimateintimacyapp

.@Taj_Ali1 "I spoke to a Muslim woman last night who lives in Belfast who said that she knows of a dozen families, mostly Muslim, whose homes had been targeted.. its very important to make clear that this is planned violence, targeted violence against ethnic minority communities"

If Iran keeps getting this insane level of rain its gonna get increasingly difficult to convince people that there wasn't a US weather machine in the GCC.

@SaulStaniforth @mehdirhasan Anchor has no choice but to sit there and listen!

Gwyneth Paltrow promotes $10M penthouses in Herzliya while Gaza burns and Lebanon bleeds. While children are buried under rubble in Gaza, while Lebanese families flee Israeli airstrikes, while Gazans starve under total blockade, she is is fronting an ad campaign for "51 Park," a luxury apartment complex in Herzliya, Israel.

@DD_Geopolitics Disgusting, I used to like her

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours: • Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later. • Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States. • The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas. • Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament. • The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas. • Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism. • The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media. • Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure. • Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

Vital advice and reminder for both men and women

@signalapp Profession has declared and concluded that social media is as harmful as cigarettes and gambling. Yeah give it to kids because you know "Freeeeeedom!!! Blah blah blah 2/2

@signalapp Its not dystopian, and it will safeguard children. Don't bullshit it us. Enough with the fucking tech overlords

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026…

@signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing nude pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

@MotivacionesF The whole world should boycott the US world Cup

🇺🇸 ESTADOS UNIDOS HUMILLA A UZBEKISTÁN 🇺🇿😳 Lo ocurrido a la llegada de Uzbekistán al Icahn Stadium de Nueva York ha generado una enorme polémica. La selección asiática fue sometida a un protocolo de seguridad nunca antes visto para un simple partido amistoso. Revisiones exhaustivas, controles desproporcionados y un trato que muchos califican como degradante para una delegación internacional. El momento más tenso llegó cuando un oficial de seguridad le gritó al utilero uzbeko: “¡ALÉJESE DE LOS BOLSOS!”. Jamás se había visto una requisa de esta magnitud contra una selección visitante en territorio estadounidense. Una escena que ha provocado indignación y que muchos consideran una falta de respeto hacia Uzbekistán.
