Iranian here!

I want to thank American leftists for educating me these past few days & correcting my understanding of Iran & radical Islam

I almost trusted my own experience, my parents’ trauma, and what my family in Iran endures daily instead of your wisdom. What would I have done without your tweets & tiktoks ❤️

It’s cool that Salman Rushdie has outlived 2 Ayatollahs.

I spoke with President of Israel @Isaac_Herzog.

Thank you for your solidarity with Ukrainians and for supporting our resolution at the UN General Assembly marking the fourth anniversary of the start of the full-scale Russian aggression. I appreciate such warm words about our people and the need for peace for Ukraine. This is exactly what we discussed – how to end the war unleashed by Russia and provide Ukrainians with reliable security guarantees.

The President noted the introduction of sanctions against the Iranian regime. Ukraine’s position is always clear: no terrorist in the world should remain unpunished. Only this can restore security and stability. We are closely monitoring developments around Iran and the actions of the regime that supports Russia’s war and supplied Russia with “shahed” drones for terror against Ukrainians.

UN post on the murder of six million Jews forgot to mention Jews.

Grok is incorrect.

Telegram is not privacy focused, and Signal is the gold standard for truly private communications. Telegram is a social media network that collects an extraordinary amount of data, and offers limited encryption that is not even on by default. Signal is solely a comms app that ensures truly private communications—we cannot turn over your data because we do not have it.

The problem is that Telegram talks a big game about privacy, while not walking the walk. And since LLMs like Grok’s models scrape text without being able to independently verify, they easily—as here—weight BS the same as truth.

The truth is signal is far superior—don’t trust me on that, check the code, check in with your favorite cryptographer. ❤️

It truly is a failure of our society that a man worth $640 billion is allowed to spend his days broadcasting lies and conspiracy theories to incite hate to hundreds of millions of people on a platform where he controls what you see, when you see it, completely unchecked.

I’m a Marine Corp veteran, trained by LEOs when I served in US embassies on how to handle unruly individuals or protestors.
1) If you are the guys with guns, you are the ones responsible for the situation. Doubly so if you outnumber the person you’re engaging.
2) You do not need to use force except to control the situation in order to deescalate it. Minimal force required.
3) You are NOT here to look for excuses to use more force. Even if the person gives you an excuse which “justifies” using force, that doesn’t mean using force is de facto the right move.
4) “Let the other person retreat” often resolves the situation just fine! Don’t surround people, back them up against a wall, etc. Your job is to control the situation. “I put myself stupidly in danger” is not an excuse to escalate “because I’m in danger.”
5) People will feed off of your energy. If you come rolling up like a fascist thug ready to break skulls, people will meet you at that level. If you show up calm, professional, and having a friendly chat, often that brings the temperature down.
Everything I see from ICE agents is they are relishing violence and exercising power, needlessly escalating situations, looking for opportunities to shoot their weapons and beat the shit out of people.

⚡ Finland is beefing up its defenses.

Helsinki has bought hundreds of new drone jammers and detection systems to protect key infrastructure and frontline units as NATO fortifies its eastern flank against Russian threats.

Putin has already promised:
1) not to change the russian constitution
2) not to stay in power after 2008
3) not to annex Ukraine's Crimea
4) not to attack Ukraine in 2014
5) not to attack Ukraine in 2022
Of course his next promise will be kept!

@SpencerGuard News from 2019?!?

[Nico Lange @nicolange_]

This week, the German intelligence community spoke remarkably openly about the threat posed by Russia.

Here are the 10 most important findings from the German foreign intelligence service, domestic intelligence service, and military counterintelligence service:

1. Russia's goals are to undermine NATO and destabilize European democracies. Russia will not shy away from military confrontation with NATO.

2. Russia is attempting to manipulate elections in Germany. Russia is relying on propaganda and disinformation, provocation, intimidation, sabotage, contract killings, espionage, and airspace violations.

3. The intelligence services must be allowed to become more operational and take greater risks. This urgently requires changes to the legal framework.

4. Russia is acting aggressively, offensively, and increasingly escalating in Germany. Russia is the main instigator of the preparation and implementation of sabotage operations in Germany.

5. Russia is exploiting “scenes of discontent,” e.g., the “Reichsbürger” movement, to spread its narrative and exert influence. The goal is to divide European societies.

6. German intelligence services must become defense services that not only observe threats but also counter them.

7. Russia is now highly active in infiltrating the German armed forces and undermining the stability of NATO.

8. Russia threatens our security. Germany must prepare for a long-term confrontation and finally strengthen its defense capabilities.

9. Russia's ongoing cognitive warfare against Germany requires action in the here and now instead of waiting for a formal state of open conflict.

10. Germany must move from reactive observation of Russia to an initiative-taking, defensive, and nationwide defense strategy.
