Lebanon signed a deal with Israel yesterday and Fmr Israel Peace Negotiator Daniel Levy couldn't believe what he was reading

The Iranian MOU already required unconditional Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, and then the Lebanese government turned around and signed a separate deal making that withdrawal conditional on disarming Hezbollah

Daniel's line: Iran negotiated better terms for Lebanon than Lebanon did for itself

An Israeli military commentator went on Channel 13 the same night and called it a win-win, either Israel stays in Lebanon or Lebanon is forced into civil war with Hezbollah

Why did Lebanon do it? Daniel says they don't have leverage, they over-internalized their weakness, and they handed away what little bargaining power the MOU had given them

Collaborating with Israel doesn't get you dignity, it gets you humiliated in front of your own people

Has the Lebanese government just signed its own death warrant?

Zelenskyy’s TCC officers failed to take a man who was walking his dog. The man ran away.

Then these brave warriors took the dog itself and, after some time, threw it out completely covered in blood, with its paws broken.

This country is like a cancerous tumor. This country is like a foul-smelling hole that sucks in everything good and spews out everything bad.

People are trying to escape from there, and the hypocrites of the “civilized world” simply do not notice it.

Dictatorship, killings, suppression of the opposition, the madness of the security services.

Welcome back to the episodical war with Iran.

I count this as Round 6.

Round 1: Soleimani / Ayn al-Asad
Round 2: True Promise 1
Round 3: True Promise 2
Round 4: 12-Day War
Round 5: Ramadan War
Round 6: World Cup War

I hope the intermission was refreshing.

The EU's refusal to grant asylum to Ukrainian men of draft age is yet another piece of evidence that the war in Ukraine is a Western proxy war against Russia.

Ukrainian men are treated as cannon fodder.

Ukrainian land has become both a killing field and a testing ground for next-generation weapons and technologies.

Ukraine has become the West's military outpost.

German militarism and war enthusiasm continues its revival

The second Iranian ship strike today has sunk Hormuz transits

Despite Trump halting all military attacks, Iran remains completely undeterred and ready to shut the Strait

As global oil inventories run down, their leverage grows by the hour

Iran survived—and that changed everything

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Chaos in Beirut right now

Crowds have completely taken over the streets, burning tires and blocking roads in fury over the Lebanese authorities signing an agreement with Israel.

They say it legalizes Israel's occupation of South Lebanon and gives Netanyahu immunity for war crimes.

This could escalate fast.

🇪🇺 The EU Commission shut down the air conditioners for floors 1-7 during the heatwave

The thing is that all high-ranking bureaucrats work above the 7th floor. Von der Leyen works on floor 13 with nice cool air conditioning, Politico reports

🇩🇪‼️🚨 VW TO CUT EVEN MORE JOBS! 100,000 TO BE FIRED!

The German car industry is suffering even more and has gone into a death spiral.

Volkswagen is planning to cut up to 100,000 jobs and end production at four plants in Germany.

Energy costs and the rapid advance of Chinese competition are killing the German car industry.

The Wolfsburg-based company also wants to reduce its car manufacturing capacity in Germany by 500,000 units.

The death spiral manifests in selling assets and further layoffs, which lead to more asset sales and site closures … and repeat.

VW is now selling off its marine engines unit Everllence to US private equity firm Bain, generating proceeds of €7.4bn. This can close the gaps for a while. But what then?

[PetiBácsi @PBacsi]

@MarioNawfal It’s. It just for now.

It’s been like that from day 1.

The western people should thank President Putin for not sending missiles inside nato members even though they supply all the weapons, iSR etc to Ukraine that’s been killing Russians.

BREAKING: The US Military has conducted new strikes in the area of the Strait of Hormuz, per Axios.

This would mark the first US strikes in the region since the “Memorandum of Understanding” was signed.

It is powerful to see other arbitrarily sanctioned legal professionals acting against this outright persecution and full-on assault on int'l justice. I hope their ordeal will end sooner than mine.
I am proud my family pioneered all this, even if the cost is extremely high.
