One of them spontaneously practices traditional Chinese kung fu.

Her poised moves surprise the other girl beside her, showing the lasting charm of traditional martial arts among Chinese kids.

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

A Lithuanian farmer discovered a church bell buried for 82 years while working his field.

Cast in 1908, locals buried it in 1942 to protect it from Soviet forces who melted church bells into weapons. It came out of the ground perfectly preserved.

2/ Trujillo (Extremadura)

Population 8,600. The town that conquered Peru. Trujillo is a fortified medieval village on a granite outcrop in central Extremadura, 50 km east of Cáceres, with a Plaza Mayor that holds a bronze statue of Francisco Pizarro on horseback at its center. Pizarro was born here in 1471. So was Francisco de Orellana, who became the first European to descend the Amazon. The mansions on the plaza were built with their gold.

Above the town, a Moorish-Christian castle looks out to the Sierra de Guadalupe. Below, the medieval lower town with the Palacio de la Conquista and the Palacio de los Duques de San Carlos. The Feria del Queso in early May draws 200+ artisanal cheesemakers from across Iberia. Locals plan their May around it.

Distance: 2h30 from Madrid by car. 1h from Cáceres. Closest airport: Badajoz.

Eat: every cheese from Extremadura converges here. Pork loin air-cured. The local Ribera del Guadiana wines.

Stay one night minimum. The Plaza Mayor empties out by 11pm. That's when you walk it.

A raccoon stole one apple every morning for a month, just to feed his sick friend.

In Tennessee, a man checked his barn camera and saw a scene he couldn’t explain.

A raccoon walked into his stable carrying an apple, went straight to his sick horse, and handed it to him like he had done it before.

At first, the man laughed it off. He figured the raccoon had found the apple under a nearby tree and just happened to wander into the barn with it.

But then it happened again. And again.

For almost a month, the raccoon kept showing up with one apple, always bringing it to the same sick horse that had been weak and not eating much.

The man didn’t realize where the apples were coming from until he heard a nearby grocery store employee complaining about a raccoon that kept sneaking in every morning, taking one apple, and disappearing.

That’s when it finally made sense. When he checked the barn again, the raccoon was sitting beside the horse like they had been friends the whole time.

Nobody knows exactly how the bond started, but the man said after seeing one animal care that much for another, he didn’t have the heart to stop it.

The raccoon wasn’t stealing apples. He was making sure his friend felt better.

The US launched an airstrike on Kharg Island from the UAE, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with the MS Now television channel.

HIMARS systems were used in the attack.

The Iranian army will strike energy infrastructure in the region that is owned, in whole or in part, by American companies.

The Strait of Hormuz is closed only to US and Israeli vessels.

Iran continues to cooperate militarily with Russia and China.

Soon everyone will see that there are no problems with the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

@ThetiMapping Buffer zone 😭 the day Syrian terrorists try and cross over is the day their will be a ground invasion from Iraq and Iran tell him to focus on the Israeli’s using the Syrian border to invade Lebanon and helicopter landings which they were rightfully responding to.

@zhao_dashuai Biden was the driving force of the Russia Ukraine war going back to his days as a senator. He was the WH point person on the 2014 coup. He blocked all attempts to defuse the war as President.

Why the US is not attacking Iran. Briefly and to the point

The US is not launching a direct strike on Iran not out of caution, but out of calculation. A military strike now does not provide strategic benefits.

Aviation cannot solve the problem against a large, cohesive state with depth, reserves, and regional influence.

Without sustained chaos within and without territorial capture, the strike would be symbolic and dangerous.

Washington does not see a result for which it would be worth paying the price of escalation.

Israel is pressuring. But the US is not ready to fight without specific gains on the ground.

A direct strike could have the opposite effect.
It would strengthen Iran's internal consolidation.
It would provoke a regional response. It would drag the US into a conflict without a clear exit.

Limited strikes are possible only under one condition.
If they immediately turn into territorial control through proxy forces.
Without this, aviation is useless.

There are also external stop factors.

China is not interested in Iran's collapse.

For Beijing, this is a risk to energy, logistics, and global stability.
China would perceive US success in Iran as a rehearsal for pressure on itself.

Turkey is also against war.

Ankara openly talks about the risk of refugees, radicalization, and the spread of chaos. Turkey sees the weakening of Iran as the beginning of a chain of regional destabilization.

The conclusion is simple.

Until there is territorial control, regional consensus, and manageable consequences, the US will act differently.
Slowly. Indirectly. Through internal pressure.
Without open war.

The US seizes a tanker sailing under the Russian flag, and Twitter instantly goes into full hysteria.
Putin is weak. Russia is weak. No response, therefore humiliation.
Okay. Sure.

But Stalin, now that’s different, right? Ruthless. Iron fist. Fear incarnate. At least that’s what you keep telling us.

So let’s take a look at what actually happened to Soviet ships during Stalin’s time.
