@IDF ROFL... read this sentence again!
Israel is occupying another nation and calling the people of that nation resisting them "terrorists"
Thank G-d you aren't actually the Biblical Israel.
Hezbollah is getting absolutely destroyed in South of Lebanon and Islamic Republic cannot do anything about it.
Once Islamic Republic wanted Hezbollah to be part of the ceasefire, but now it's powerless and has to watch Hezbollah get annihilated.

The Islamic Republic is trapped in a strategic corner of its own making and every escalation should be read as a bid, not a battle plan. The regime is bidding for the one commodity it cannot produce domestically: sanctions relief packaged as American eagerness.
Economically, it can only "resist," substituting an inflation tax for outright payroll default while its revenue base collapses.
Diplomatically, its only remaining play is escalation designed to drag the United States back to the table and manufacture pressure inside Washington for talks.
Politically, it needs a deal, but a deal it can sell to the only constituency it has left: a support base that has shrunk to its most radicalized core. That base, the narrowest in the regime's history, is precisely the audience least willing to accept the concessions any real deal requires.
The corner is therefore self-tightening: the more isolated the regime becomes at home, the more it must escalate abroad; the more it escalates, the harder the deal it needs becomes to sell.

⭕️ The number of threats and posturing from Iran in the past 12 hours is unprecedented. This suggests the IRGC is feeling increased pressure, and the situation is only likely to escalate further. They understand that an uprising is inevitable and will likely intensify their actions from this point forward, as no deal can guarantee their survival. The regime appears to be entering a desperate, even self-destructive, phase.

Argentina should just flood the Falkland Islands with boats full of Argentinian migrants and vote the British out, just like the Muslims did to London and Birmingham. And pretty much the entire UK soon.
La Fierté, c’est une promesse : celle que chaque Canadienne et chaque Canadien peut vivre ouvertement, fièrement et en toute sécurité en étant soi-même.
Joyeuse Fierté à la communauté 2ELGBTQI+ de Nepean et de tout Ottawa!
Varoufakis talking about “national shame” is rich. He had the keys in 2015, produced capital controls and a circus referendum, then quit. His party is a rounding error. The government Greeks actually elect just bought air defence.
This is a €3bn package, David’s Sling, SPYDER, BARAK MX, radars, a national command system built for missiles, jets and drones. Turkey and Iran are the named threats. A Turkish UAV was near Alexandroupoli airport days ago. F-16s went up. Turkey still treats inhabited Aegean islands as bargaining chips. Israel sells kit that has been used in war. Greek firms get a cut. That’s the deal. Not a sermon.
“Genocidal apartheid state”?
Israel is a democracy with Arab MPs and courts. This war started with Hamas murdering civilians on 7 October.
Same Varoufakis then goes on Turkish media to praise Ankara’s “smart” policy and call Greece an Israeli-American satellite nobody takes seriously. He’s not defending Greece. He’s feeding a Turkish talking point.
Leftist Greeks soured on Israel after Gaza. That’s not the same as wanting the Aegean left open. Support for the Greece–Cyprus–Israel alignment is higher than his slogan implies, and voters keep picking the party that signs the contracts.
Buying interceptors from a country that can build them is not tainting Greece. Leaving the islands covered by speeches is.
1. Jugoslavije ni več, gre za Slovenijo.
2. Prisegati na mednarodno pravo in hkrati govoriti o genocidu v Gazi ali v Judeji in Samariji (aka zahodni breg), ki ga po mednarodnem pravu nobena pristojna institucija ni ugotovila - je politična izbira posebne vrste.
3. Slovenija je suverena država ter enakopravna članica EU in brez našega soglasja (ali soglasja katere koli druge članice) ni “evropskega zunanjepolitičnega stališča”, ki bi ga morali podpreti. Smo (so)odločevalci in ne hlapci.
4. @vladaRS ima jasno usmeritev glede prioritet svojega delovanja, ki so osredotočene na povečanje blaginje slovenskega človeka, zato bo vodila pragmatično politiko na vseh področjih svoje ustavne pristojnosti. Enako pričakuje od drugih nosilcev javnih funkcij, ki so ob nastopu prisegli, da bodo delovali za blaginjo Slovenije.
Thank you PM Janša for your courage and clarity amidst EU hypocrisy. The EU remains silent when Turkey, a NATO member, illegally occupies half of Cyprus – an EU member! Yet when the Jewish people want to exercise their historic right to build and live in their ancestral homeland, the EU is outraged.
You reminded everyone that Slovenia is a sovereign state and an equal member of the EU. That is not a provocation. It is a right that some wish to deny.
Thank you, Janez, for your conviction and leadership.
NEW: Donald Trump’s Republican Party has revoked CBC/Radio-Canada’s press access to its upcoming major midterm convention, citing the public broadcaster’s now-reversed policy not to refer to 9/11 as “terrorism” without direct attribution.
