🚨 BREAKING: 🇵🇱 President of Poland: “The United States calls for democracy but does not apply it to itself.” “People talk about rights, yet there are those who don’t even know if they will live to see another day.” “We had investments in the U.S. worth millions of dollars, and they were withdrawn two days ago. We do not want to be a cause of war in the Middle East.” “My message to Arab countries: you must be united—one hand alone cannot clap.” “America has remained strong thanks to your money, yet you seek protection from it. How can a country that cannot protect itself protect you?”

Awesome!

🇺🇸 US troops spooked by Trump’s warmongering in Middle East Morale among US troops is sinking to a new low as Trump’s attempted blitzkrieg in the Persian Gulf turns into a bloody and costly quagmire, HuffPost reports. Successful Iranian attacks on US bases in the Middle East shattered the US troops’ confidence. One US military official lamented that a ground operation against Iran would be “an absolute disaster,” pointing at the Pentagon’s inability to protect its own assets in the region. Many US personnel are increasingly reluctant to do Netanyahu’s bidding instead of serving their own country. “I’m hearing out of service members’ mouths the words, ’We do not want to die for Israel — we don’t want to be political pawns,” said one US veteran and reservist who mentors younger officers. The executive director of the Center on Conscience and War announced a 1,000% increase in conscientious objector applications. The deadly strike on the girls’ school in Minab, he notes, has become a breaking point for most of these new applicants. Some service members also complained about the “lack of a clear, consistent narrative justifying the Iran war,” as HuffPost put it, with the prospect of risking their lives in a “poorly planned conflict” for “no identifiable strategic benefit” leaving them demoralized.

The fact that Israel has a “secret” nuclear facility is the story. The fact that they have undisclosed nuclear weapons, thus making all US foreign aid to Israel against US law, is the story. The fact that Israel has refused to let the UN or @iaeaorg inspect their facilities…

You probably haven't seen this yet. There was so much happening in the first years of Charles' reign it got lost in a flurry of other news. But this is the FIRST official King Charles portrait. By artist Alastair Barford. The Royal Family bc of protocol must speak in symbols for you to interpret instead of words and deeds. Indigenous nations are so central to Charles' thinking and his role as King, for his first portrait, his first big statement out to the world...he is wearing an Amazonian Indigenous bracelet. Royals often wear MANY symbols. For this defining portrait Charles wanted the message to be unmistakably clear. The bracelet is meant to be loud as the ONLY symbol in the painting! In case you needed confirmation that Charles is sincere, and as active on Indigenous files as Canadian Indigenous leaders working with him claim.
