@PingpingTweets @hrw Laban sa pasistang Duterte at Marcos pero ayaw lumaban para sa malayang Palestine. Pasista PingPing. Nalungkot ka sa War on Drugs, sa nangyari sa Marawi. Pero you're equating Palestine as Hamas. You're no better than Duterte.

Disaster teams should now prep for typhoon + fuel crisis scenarios

Thanks to inaction around climate, corruption, poverty & geopolitical crises, each hazard will now likely dovetail with another: complex disasters.

This story is insane. The BBC just changed a direct quote — meaning one of them is a lie.

Consider the options: either the BBC lied that someone said they were happy for an atomic bomb to strike their city, or they softened that clearly psychopathic language but kept that quote in as if the source is credible.

Either the BBC is manufacturing consent to use atomic bombs, or they’re happy to platform someone else who did so.

No sane person says they’re OK being in the city an atomic bomb hits, obviously. That goes without saying. But the BBC thinks this is valid reporting.

Western media institutions like this deserve to die.

The government doesn't have to announce the lockdown. The market will announce it for us. The blunt force of P200 diesel will decide when the lockdown happens, will decide who has to stay home, will decide which industries will have to scale back and cut jobs.

You said Hồ Chí Minh "chose war."

Let me reconstruct the timeline so we're working from actual events rather than impressions.

1858: France begins military conquest of Vietnam.
1887: France formally establishes French Indochina.
1945: Hồ Chí Minh declares Vietnamese independence after Japanese occupation ends.
1945: France announces its intention to recolonize Vietnam.
1946: Hồ Chí Minh negotiates in Paris. Signs preliminary agreements.
1946: France shells Haiphong. Kills six thousand civilians. Occupies Hanoi.
1954: Vietnam defeats France at Điện Biên Phủ. Geneva Accords mandate national elections.
1956: United States prevents the elections because Hồ Chí Minh would win 80 percent.
1965: United States begins massive military escalation.
1975: Vietnam wins.

At which moment in that sequence did Hồ Chí Minh "choose war" in the sense that implies a peaceful alternative was available and he rejected it?

The French chose war in 1946 when they shelled Haiphong.

The Americans chose war in 1956 when they cancelled the election.

The Americans chose war again in 1964 with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The attack that justified it was fabricated. They knew. They escalated anyway.

Hồ Chí Minh responded to wars that were brought to his country.

For over a century, from 1858 to the end of the American war in 1975, Vietnam was a country being fought over by foreign powers.

The question is not why Hồ Chí Minh chose war.

The question is why you describe as a choice something that was, for the Vietnamese people, simply the condition of existence under colonialism.

Iran managed to lift sanctions in 4 weeks of war that they were not able to life with 40 years of negotiations.

The west basically rewards raw power and punishes good-faith diplomacy again and again and again,

🚨 let me tell you what just happened because I'm sure most people completely missed this..

Kamal Kharazi was Iran's lead negotiator.. the man actively working through Pakistan to arrange a backchannel meeting between Iranian officials and JD Vance.. the only active diplomatic channel that existed to prevent what Trump called a "2 to 3 week" strike window..

Israel just bombed his house.. his wife is dead.. Kharazi is in hospital..

and you need to pay attention to the timing..

this isn't the first time Iran's negotiators have been killed right before a deal could be made..
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was Iran's top nuclear scientist and the man considered most essential to any future nuclear negotiations..
he was assassinated in November 2020, widely attributed to Israel.. the nuclear talks were set back by years.. in 2012, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan.. a senior figure at Iran's Natanz enrichment facility.. was killed in a targeted car bombing in Tehran, also attributed to Israel.. the pattern holds every single time..

every time Iran and the US get close to talking, someone removes the people doing the talking..

Trump said 2 to 3 weeks.. someone in Iran was actively building the exit ramp from that window.. and today the man building that exit is in hospital and his wife is in the ground..

whoever bombed that house wasn't trying to win a war..
they were trying to make sure there isn't a peace.

BREAKING: Iran assures the Philippines that it will allow Philippine-bound and Philippine-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Department of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement Thursday, April 2, that Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi today to discuss "stronger bilateral cooperation on all fronts."

"During the call, the Iranian Foreign Minister assured the Secretary that Iran will allow the safe, unhindered, and expeditious passage through the Strait of Hormuz of Philippine-flagged vessels, energy sources, and all Filipino seafarers," the DFA says. | via @chicristina_

For those who need it but don't have capacity to pay more - like public transport and its riders - it should be subsidized.

For those who have the capacity to pay and can reduce their consumption - like wealthy private vehicle owners - it should cost more and/or be rationed
