Because Iran is throwing missiles at Jordan right now, you need to know something first. Jordan did not grow out of the ground like an old country. It was stitched together in a hotel in Cairo in March 1921 by a handful of British officials who needed a cheap solution and a quiet map.
The Ottoman Empire had just collapsed. Britain was sitting on Mesopotamia, Palestine, and a big empty stretch of desert east of the Jordan River. Keeping troops there cost a fortune. Winston Churchill, then Colonial Secretary, called a meeting at the Semiramis Hotel. They joked they were the forty thieves. Gertrude Bell was the only woman in the room who actually knew the tribes and the roads. T. E. Lawrence was there. Sir Percy Cox came from Baghdad with the files.
They needed Arab kings who would take British money and not demand a giant army. Faisal, son of the Sharif of Mecca, got Iraq. His older brother Abdullah needed a prize too, otherwise the family would sulk. So they gave him the leftover desert and called it Transjordan. Churchill later said he created the place on a Sunday afternoon with a stroke of a pen. That is not poetry. That is how the country entered the world.
Abdullah became emir, then king. The British paid him, trained his force, and used the land as a buffer. After independence the Hashemite throne stayed. Decades later American aircraft and missile batteries moved onto Jordanian air bases because the same strip of desert sits in a useful place between Iraq, Syria, Israel, and the Gulf. King Hussein Air Base. Al Azraq. Muwaffaq Salti. Names on a modern war map that sit on ground first outlined in that Cairo dining room.
So when Iranian missiles fly toward those bases, they are not hitting some ancient kingdom that chose this fight in the year 700. They are hitting a state invented to save British cash and keep two Hashemite brothers employed. The joke is old and it is not funny anymore. A hotel table made the border. The border hosted the bases. The bases drew the missiles. That is the whole chain.
Read it once more if you have to. Cairo, March 1921. Cheap kings. A Sunday map. A country that still has to catch steel that was aimed at someone else’s war.

Zeteo’s @prem_thakker pressed Republicans on Trump ally Laura Loomer calling multiple Black women in politics “ghetto, entitled, race-obsessed, destructive black BITCHES.”

They didn't have much to say for themselves.

Treason charges are becoming a political weapon against opposition leaders across Africa.

In country after country, opposition figures are arrested, prosecuted or threatened with treason charges after challenging those in power.

African governments must respect political freedoms, due process and the right of citizens to organise and challenge those who govern them.

When treason charges become a shortcut for dealing with political opponents, democracy itself is put on trial.

Rwanda Police Arrest Own Officers After Viral Rubavu Incident Sparks Outrage

Rwanda National Police (RNP) has arrested and detained police officers captured in a viral video apprehending a young woman at a bus park in Rubavu, following public outrage over the manner in which she was handled.

The footage circulated widely on social media, drawing criticism and shifting attention from allegations surrounding the woman’s dressing to the conduct of the officers who confronted her.

RNP subsequently confirmed that the officers appearing in the video had been arrested and detained, while the young woman was cleared.

RNP spokesperson ACP Boniface Rutikanga told Taarifa that specific charges against the officers have not yet been established, but the matter under investigation centres on possible misconduct and their handling of the woman.

“So far, charges are yet to be established, but it is around misconduct and mishandling this girl,” ACP Rutikanga said.

The incident comes shortly after police warned the public against indecent dressing, a warning that sparked debate over what constitutes indecent attire and, particularly, how such standards should be interpreted and enforced by officers.

Following the Rubavu incident, RNP said police officers had been given instructions and strongly cautioned against similar conduct.

Police have not disclosed the identities of the detained officers or indicated what disciplinary or other proceedings could follow the investigation.

The case has now broadened the debate beyond questions of dress and public conduct to police professionalism, proportionality and the obligation of officers to respect the dignity of members of the public during law-enforcement interventions.

That time at the beginning of the war against Iran when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.

A woman was arrested by Rwanda’s National Police @Rwandapolice over how she was dressed.

@PaulKagame once called himself the “first feminist” on women’s rights, so where is that commitment now? And why this sudden focus on women’s clothes while Rwanda faces a deepening economic and financial crisis, youth unemployment, international sanctions and urgent questions of justice.
Is this governance or a convenient distraction?

If you can watch only one video to understand current geopolitics, make it this one by George Yeo, one of Singapore's longest-serving cabinet ministers (23 years!)

As Yeo explains, current global geopolitics is fundamentally driven by US "retreat" and "decline", forced by a financial reality that no US administration can reverse: its debt servicing already exceeding its entire defense budget.

To Yeo, this explains why the US insists so much that its "allies" in Europe and Asia spend more of their GDP on defense - to basically pick up the tab for an empire America can no longer afford - but it also means that, inevitably, "once your allies begin to have their own military capabilities, they will think differently, and they will not follow you in everything that you want to do."

As such, American decline becomes self-reinforcing: the more it asks allies to carry their own weight, the less reason they have to follow its lead.

Still, Yeo says that a similar dynamic to one that happened after the fall of Rome could occur where America - like Byzantium did - sheds its empire and consolidates around its own hemisphere, allowing it to remain self-sustaining and powerful for a very long time.

He believes it's the direction things are heading - which would also explain Trump's obsession with Canada and Greenland.

It remains however obviously an open question whether an American "Byzantium strategy" is even achievable: Canada, for one, clearly wants no part of it.
