@FranceskAlbs Israeli soldiers have themselves recorded their war crimes, documented them, and proudly posted them on social media; now these recordings are being used against them!

URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.
This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.
Here's a thought experiment they don't teach in American schools.
Imagine a foreign power, significantly stronger than the United States, decided after a disputed intelligence assessment that the American government posed a threat.
It assembled a coalition, invaded, removed the government, disbanded the military, releasing hundreds of thousands of armed men into unemployment, and installed a transitional authority composed largely of exiles who had been living in the foreign power’s country for twenty years.
It then spent the next decade conducting night raids on American homes.
It ran detention facilities where Americans were held without charge and in some cases tortured.
It operated checkpoints in American cities where American citizens were stopped, searched, and sometimes killed by foreign soldiers who did not speak English and could not distinguish a civilian from a combatant and in many cases did not particularly try.
A generation of American children grew up in this environment.
Would you describe those children's resulting hostility to the foreign power as:
(A) A rational response to their lived experience
or
(B) Evidence of a cultural pathology that requires theological and anthropological analysis?
You already know the answer.
You knew it before I finished the sentence.
The exercise is only necessary because the question is never asked the right way around.
En nombre mío y de todos mis compañeros de la selección iraní, quiero expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento y profunda gratitud a México por su cálida hospitalidad. Nos han llenado de amor, calidez y una amabilidad inolvidable. Gracias al maravilloso pueblo mexicano por su cariño y apoyo, que nos han hecho sentir como en nuestro segundo hogar. Todo nuestro respeto y aprecio para ustedes.
The coming military and psychological unravelling - Tet v2?
Late 1960’s, America at the zenith of its power, its economy dominated, military unstoppable, confidence unshakable. The Vietnam war was going swimmingly, MacNamara’s body counts were the proof of it. Then came Tet.
January 30th, 1968, Tet, the Vietnamese lunar new year. On that day and the next North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched coordinated attacks on over 100 cities, and hundreds more rural sites, across South Vietnam. It was not merely a surprise attack, but a fundamental inflection point. The Viet Cong struck everywhere at once, proving they were not a ragtag insurgency, peasants in sandals, but a coordinated, disciplined force with sophisticated low-tech commincation and coordination networks. They eventually lost the battles, yes, but they shattered the myth of American invincibility. The psychological blow was irreversible. Public trust collapsed. The war wasn't lost on the battlefield that week; it was lost first on the 6 o’oclock news, and then in the American mind.
That is the lesson we miss when we reduce Tet to just a "surprise." It was the moment the trajectory of American power bent. Not because the U.S. stopped winning battles, but because the world, and Americans themselves, realized victory was not just a question of firepower, and was not inevitable.
Today, we seem to be approaching a similar inflection point in the Gulf. Not a repeat of 1968, but a parallel unraveling. American power projection, naval dominance, air superiority, deterrence credibility, is being tested in real time. The contemplated land operations, Kharg Island, Hormuz, wherever, carry the same hubris that marked early Vietnam: assumptions in the Trump administration of quick success, underestimation of adversary resolve, and overreliance on technology against an enemy that thrives in ambiguity and asymetric warfare.
The difference now is the psychological context. In 1968, many Americans doubted the war's morality, but no one doubted their nation's raw power. Today, social media and fragmented news mean more people see the cracks: stalled initiatives, diplomatic friction, asymmetric losses. Yet for many leaders, and for the archetype of the "average American" still shaped by post-Cold War triumphalism, the idea of a swift, visible military debacle remains unthinkable. Despite Vietnam. Despite Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite the American helicoptors in Iran in 1979 or “Black Hawk Down”. The new Tet moment has not yet arrived. In the American mind, all of the above failures were somehow due to individual failures, lack of resolve or coordination, the hippies, Carter or Biden’s weakness, … It hasn’t arrived yet, but all indications are that the next Tet is approaching very fast. A military disaster is already unfolding but it is gradual, there are no headlines (yet?) saying “TODAY WE LOST”. A large military operation in the Gulf involving thousands of troops could well be that moment. Geography, logistics, fighting spirit, and for once possibly even technology, all favor the Iranians. Drones, missiles, mines. Lack of air defense. Shore versus ship. Improvisation and lack of detailed planning. An American command structure without real experience in modern warfare. It all adds up. Hegseth’s 10,000 targets as the modern version of MacNamara’s body counts. The coming days or weeks could deliver this new Tet moment. A failed operation. A strategic miscalculation that exposes limits. An outcome that cannot be spun. In a hyper-connected age, the perception shift would be instantaneous. The already threadbare myth of omnipotence would fracture not over months of coverage, but in hours of viral footage.
If January 30, 1968 marked the peak before the long decline of American unquestioned authority, then the Gulf today may be where that curve bends again. Not because America is now weak, but it is unquestionably weaker. And the world has changed, adversaries have learned and adapted. The question isn't whether the U.S. can win a battle, the coming operations might even initially be successful, it's whether the American psyche can absorb a strategic setback without overreacting.
We may be days or weeks from that pivot. Not a surprise, but a culmination. Tet didn't create the American crisis in Vietnam; it revealed it. The Gulf's Tet will fully reveal the limits of the old America-centric world order. And when that moment comes, it remains to be seen whether America can face the new reality without losing its bearings.

🚨 The truth about real peace and prosperity:
How many wars has China been involved in over the past 40 years?
Zero. Not a single one.
While one country has spent decades bombing, invading, and destabilizing nations across the globe, China chose a completely different path: building, trading, and lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty >> including doing massive business with the United States itself.
There is zero need to turn China into an enemy.
None.
If the US chooses cooperation and peaceful coexistence, we will witness a true golden age of global prosperity in a multipolar world >> innovation, trade, and development exploding everywhere.
If it doubles down on confrontation and containment, we’re heading straight into a dark era of conflict, economic pain, and lost opportunities… where no one wins.
The choice is clear. The world is watching.
Peace and win-win cooperation is the only rational path forward. 🇨🇳
More than 40,000 people are reportedly missing or unaccounted for in Venezuela, and somehow the world is still moving like this is just another headline.
Families are searching through rubble, online registries are filling with names, and entire communities are waiting for answers that may never come. Mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, neighbors — real human beings — have vanished into chaos while the global news cycle barely pauses long enough to care.
It is heartbreaking and infuriating. If this were happening in certain other countries, it would dominate every screen, every front page, every political speech. But because it is Venezuela, the pain feels ignored, buried beneath louder stories and selective outrage.
No tragedy should have to be convenient or politically useful to matter. These people deserve attention. Their families deserve urgency. Venezuela deserves the world's eyes right now.
Sometimes it really feels like humanity has lost its ability to care unless the algorithm tells it to.
🚨 TRUMP ADMITS IT: “We hit them so hard… now we’ve taken out millions of barrels of oil.”
Not about drugs. Never was.
One-day war. Regime change. Oil grab. Then they lecture the world about “democracy” and “helping” while Venezuela bleeds resources and now suffers a massive earthquake.
The empire doesn’t hide it anymore. They boast about it.
From Venezuela to the Sahel, from Africa to Latin America — the Global South sees the pattern clearly.
No more “international rules” when the West needs oil. Sovereignty or submission. The choice is ours.
No bows. Just raw truth. ✊🏿🇻🇪
Who else is done pretending this was ever about freedom?
“Hello Melania Trump.
My name is Juliette Bryant — an Epstien survivor.
You want girls to testify under oath? Here I am. Everything I’ve said is TRUE.
Too bad so many of the girls who already testified ended up dead.
Maybe it’s time you and your husband testify under oath too.
What are you hiding?”
Joy Reid: “Israel does not represent all Jewish people anymore than Saudi Arabia represents all Muslims. Let’s stop pretending this foreign country equals Jewish people. My friends who are Jewish got nothing to do with no Bibi Netanyahu. Zionism stems from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Judaism is 4,000 years old. These are not the same thing”
"Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide"

Just like with the biolabs in Ukraine that everyone dismissed as Russian propaganda until it turned out to be documented fact, Russia has been reporting for years about Ukrainian neo-Nazi formations torturing civilians. Branding them with irons. Drilling into their legs. Shackling them like animals.
It's horrifying to hear about. Even more horrifying to read the reports.
But this is what was built and continues to be financed with Western taxpayers' money. Your money. Missiles, drones, tanks for the front. Branding irons, drills, and shackles for the basement torture chambers.
The Nazi Germans branded Soviet civilians with swastikas during WWII. Ukrainians use tridents now. The method is identical. Only the stamp has changed.
Once again, Russia was right all along.
@MartinDandach La FIFA y Estados Unidos han hecho las peores marranadas contra la selección de Irán. Afortunadamente, el mundo entero ha sido testigo de la dignidad y estoicismo de los jugadores y su equipo.
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

Estas imágenes son de Pyongyang, capital de Corea del Norte, en 1954, la cual fue arrasada casi en toda su totalidad por los ataques aéreos de EEUU, que destruyeron el 75% de la ciudad y la dañaron en más de un 90%.
EEUU destruyó hasta el 85% de los edificios en Corea del Norte, les lanzó 635.000 toneladas de bombas al pais (32.557 toneladas de napalm) y asesinó a más de 2,5 millones de coreanos, usaron hasta armas biológicas y desplegaron incluso aviones equipados con armas nucleares.
EEUU exterminó a más del 20% de la población de Corea del Norte en 1953... pero los locos y el malo de la película es Corea del Norte por tener precaución y armarse hasta los dientes para que esto no vuelva a ocurrir, así manipulan la historia.
