Vocês perceberam que se não fosse o Irã ter chamado atenção da imprensa mundial, ninguém saberia que os EUA estão atacando o Brasil?

A imprensa mundial não fala dos ataques à soberania do Brasil, nem em 2025 eles falaram como se fosse violação da soberania.

Graças ao Irã agora milhões de pessoas no mundo estão vendo os EUA atacando o país mais pacifista do mundo que nunca ameaçou a segurança deles.

This was the first "color revolution" attempt and guess who burned those buses and vehicles? I'm not defending China blindly but this is imperialist propaganda against China.

Zelenskyy, 2021: In a video recorded in Russian (!), he mocked the idea of banning Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita in Ukraine, calling it “folly on a universal scale” — a clear nod to Prof. Preobrazhensky’s famous line from Bulgakov.

Zelenskyy, 2026: Silent as rabid nationalists denounce Kyiv-born Bulgakov as an “Ukrainophobe” and tear down the monument standing beside his museum.

What was once “folly on a universal scale” apparently became state policy somewhere along the way.

This of some kind of joke. Israel killed the 2 state solution with occupying the West Bank and now occupies 60% of Gaza. All the countries that call for this it’s just one line virtual signalling. The only country that cares for the Palestinian people is Iran and the resistance.

Western-backed Ukrainian terrorists attacked a train in Crimea, killing 1 person, injuring 3, also attacking Simferopol and killing 3 people, injuring 7

"...A drone attacked a train on the Azovskoe-Kerch route. According to preliminary data, one person was killed and three were injured.

Earlier, the head of Crimea reported the deaths of three more people and seven injured as a result of an enemy strike on Simferopol."

@TheEconomist From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them.

Zohran gets that.

A few days ago Zelensky made an impassioned plea saying that if Putin is ready, he’s ready to meet with him (let’s put aside that he made that illegal for a second). Then Rutte came to Ukraine and said that Zelensky let Putin hold his little parade … today he publishes an open letter to Putin in …Ukrainian & English.

I really encourage everyone to read it for themselves 🤣 The man hurled insults, called Putin old and inept, included delusions which his own spin doctors fabricated and leaked to the world press just so that he can turn around and use them as facts, name dropped Orban, dragged North Korea, China and the Gulf States into it, made passive aggressive comments about the US and ended it with Slava Ukraini 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes Zelya, this is exactly the kind of public display of diplomacy that will convince Putin to meet with you. I’m now even more convinced that the people around him are truly trying to sabotage him, what other logical conclusion can one draw?

Vova, you may not get that meeting but Putin does like to write letters so you may get a 300 page response instead … with a few uncomfortable details included 🤣🤣🤣

This is embarrassingly immature and pathetic yet I can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics to position this stunt as exemplary diplomacy 🤡🤡🤡

Ukrainian nationalism and Zionism, two parallel and allied projects

In my first essay of this series, I look at the early 20th century.

The Ukrainian-born Vladimir Jabotinsky is today Netanyahu's key ideological inspiration. In the 1910s and 20s, Jabotinsky was also an avid supporter of Ukrainian nationalists like Simon Petliura, whose army killed thousands of Jews.

Jabotinsky was also very ideologically similar to Dmytro Dontsov, the Ukrainian fascist ideologue of the 1920s. Both conceptualized their nationalisms as imperial, settler colonial, European projects fighting against 'racial barbarians'. Both were highly sympathetic to European fascist regimes, and both supported the expulsion of European Jews

I also look at some other links between the two movements, like the fascination that early Zionist paramilitaries had with emulating Ukrainian Cossacks - themselves responsible for killings thousands of Jews

The appropriate response to the US accusing your country of forced labour should be to tell them to go to hell until they remove slavery from their constitution. It's still enshrined in their 13th amendment.

[Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta]

Kyiv has dismantled the monument to Mikhail Bulgakov.

That should come as no surprise.

In The White Guard, Bulgakov depicted the anti-Jewish pogroms carried out by the forces of Symon Petliura—precisely the pogroms that Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance led by ex-Azov officer now seem eager to sideline as an inconvenient footnote to the national story.

Historical memory is becoming increasingly selective.

The darker chapters are erased, while controversial figures are recast as untarnished heroes.
If this trend continues, Ukraine may end up celebrating only those whose hands were stained with the blood of their Jewish, Polish, and other neighbors.

Is this the “democratic Ukraine” that people are being forced to die for?
A democracy worthy of sacrifice should be able to confront its past honestly, not sanitize it.

[William Murphy @420GHz]

The video speaks for itself. An antiwar activist was detained after a false accusation and then released without charges. If our leaders can't defend their policies without calling the police on critics, that's a sign of weakness, not strength.

[John Rad @JohnRad15]

Yes, on a per capita basis. A couple million people homeless in 350 million is a lot. Homelessness is dire failure of an economy. If 0.2% of your roof were leaking wouldn't that also be a problem? What if a roofer says "What's the problem, only a small percent is leaking!"

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.
