🇺🇸🇮🇱 One factor behind Trump's ceasefire decision: Israel was starting to take serious damage. - At the start of the war, only 5% of Iranian missiles were hitting Israeli targets - By the final week, that rate had climbed to 27%, a 400%+ increase - Iran's strategy: flood Israel's air defenses with cheap drones and crude missiles until interceptors ran dry - In the final days, Iran began deploying cluster munitions, far harder to intercept - Enough cluster munitions over Tel Aviv could turn the city into a minefield - Israel was approaching overextension before the ceasefire kicked in

JUST IN: 🇭🇺 Peter Magyar officially defeats Viktor Orbán to become Prime Minister of Hungary.

With a Supermajority Tisza will be capable of Constitutional Change. Meaning there will never again appear a Hungarian Sovereignist Party. This loss is great, people will remember these elections for decades. But unlike other times in history, we elected ourselves into a client state status. The EU will make brutal changes in Hungary so another sovereignist and nationalist will not rise again. Repression will be made on levels not seen since Trianon or post 1848-1849 War of Independence.

Pete Hegseth wrote a book called American Crusade. He tattooed "Deus Vult" on his body. Latin for "God wills it." The battle cry of the First Crusade. He tattooed the Jerusalem Cross on his chest. The symbol of medieval Christian knights marching to kill Muslims. He wrote that the U.S. faces a "360-degree holy war." He wrote that Islam "has been at war with all infidels since it was founded and will never stop." He wrote that we must fight, "like our fellow Christians one thousand years ago." He now runs the most powerful military on Earth. And here is what his crusade ACTUALLY looks like. At Pentagon briefings, he prays. Out loud. In the name of Jesus Christ. To a plural audience that includes Jewish troops, Muslim troops, atheist troops, all of whom swore the same oath he did. At a military worship service, he prayed for "overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy." From an official Pentagon podium, he declared: "No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." You know what "no quarter" means legally? It means kill them even if they surrender. It has been a war crime under international law since the Hague Convention of 1899. It violates the Pentagon's OWN law of war manual. A retired Army judge advocate wrote a formal legal memo saying Hegseth's statement "may expose you to criminal liability." After World War II, the United States PROSECUTED German commanders for the same thing. This is the man who wanted a holy war. And what he's produced is the OPPOSITE of holy. Nineteen civilians killed in a Tehran residential neighborhood on Monday alone. A girls' school bombed. Survivors left to drown after a ship was torpedoed. Video game memes posted alongside footage of destruction. The Pope said this month that God ignores the prayers of leaders who wage war with "hands full of blood." Not a liberal politician. Not a Democrat. THE POPE. Here is what happens when you dress up killing in the language of God. He isn't elevating the war. He is DRAGGING the faith DOWN into the rubble with it.
