Trump vient d'avouer pourquoi il s'est couché :
"Si je continue à les bombarder, les bateaux restent bloqués. Ça coûte 500-600M$ par jour. Et dans 4 semaines nous n'aurons plus de réserves [de pétrole]. On n'en aurait plus. Vous voulez voir le chaos ?"
Unreal: the symbolism of Trump signing a surrender agreement at Versailles in which the US agrees to pay massive reparations is just too perfect.
I wouldn't be surprised if Macron weaponized Trump's complete ignorance of history and told him something like: "Mr. President, Versailles is where the most consequential deal of the 20th century was signed. Yours deserves the same stage."
Either that or Macron stumbled into the perfect historical parallel through sheer obliviousness - which, knowing him, is actually even more likely.
This video - probably more than any other - illustrates the extent to which Israel's regional strategy has resulted in strategic defeat.
I mean: they had one big enemy - Iran - and one big friend - the US - and these two are now negotiating a deal, while Israel is being told it's an inconvenience that be should be replaced by a former Al Qaeda commander, because he's more humane and kills less civilians.
If that's not strategic defeat, I don't know what is.
This is lowkey huge.
Trump says Iran has the right to develop missiles for its own defense — like other regional countries — contrary to decades of US foreign policy orthodoxy that demanded Iran be wholly defenseless (to ensure Israeli hegemony).
BREAKING: The US has released the full text of its 14-point "Memorandum of Understanding" with Iran.
Key terms include:
1. The US, Iran, and their allies agree to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon
2. The US and Iran agree to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and not interfere in each other's internal affairs
3. The US and Iran commit to negotiating and reaching a final deal within 60 days, unless mutually extended
4. The US will begin removing its naval blockade immediately and fully end the blockade within 30 days
5. Iran will use its best efforts to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days with no charge
6. The US and regional partners will develop a mutually agreed plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development
7. The US will work toward terminating all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN, IAEA, primary, and secondary sanctions
8. Iran reaffirms that it will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address its enriched material stockpile under IAEA supervision
9. Until a final deal is reached, Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, while the US will impose no new sanctions and deploy no additional forces
10. The US Treasury will issue waivers for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, derivatives, and associated banking, insurance, and transportation services
11. The US will make frozen or restricted Iranian funds and assets fully available for use
12. The US and Iran will establish an executive mechanism to monitor implementation of the MOU and future compliance with the final deal
13. After signing the MOU and implementing key ceasefire, blockade, shipping, oil waiver, and asset-release provisions, the US and Iran will begin final deal negotiations
14. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution
The memorandum will trigger a 60-day window to negotiate a final deal.
Cihuacoatl, the Serpent Woman, grinds the bones of the ancestors from the previous worlds. In the central Mexican creation stories, these sacred bones become the substance from which a new race of humanity will be formed.
She kneels before the metate, the grinding stone used throughout Mesoamerica to prepare corn. Here, however, She prepares human life itself. The scene connects the making of humanity to the daily labor of women, for just as corn dough sustains the body, the ground bones of the ancestors become the flesh of future generations.
I painted this scene in gouache on paper, combining mythology, ritual symbolism, and the visual language of the codices.

INSANE STAT:
Adventurers in CK3 are behind owning a Major Expansion for CK3!
DESPITE THIS, the single most popular start in CK3 is starting as an adventurer in 867 by a wide margin.
Goes to show just how much people want to start from nothing no matter what!
Why does every US pundit play the role of the State Dept strategist? Why do you care if our violent and capacious empire (that sneak attacked Iran) gets a "good deal"? How is this of any moral significance to these people? Are you on the board of Lockheed Martin? Whatever ends it
💔🇨🇻 La emotiva confesión de Vozinha, arquero de Cabo Verde, tras el histórico partido ante España.
“Trabajé toda mi vida para vivir este momento. Muchas generaciones soñaron con algo así y no pudieron lograrlo. Nosotros estamos aquí porque luchamos muchísimo para conseguirlo y merecíamos estar en este Mundial”.
Pero lo más duro llegó después:
“Después del partido lloré. Crecí con mis abuelos y ellos ya no están aquí para verlo. Lo dieron todo por mí. Mi mamá tampoco pudo venir por un problema con la visa; no conseguimos el dinero para completar el trámite a tiempo. Me hubiera encantado que estuviera aquí conmigo”.
🥹 Aun así, Vozinha cerró con orgullo:
“Estoy muy feliz por todo el pueblo de Cabo Verde”.
El fútbol también cuenta historias como esta 🇨🇻⚽️
