In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.

But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.

Zero lessons earned

Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity.

Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt, leading to the martyrdom of his innocent wife. Let the world judge; which side engages in dialogue and negotiation, and which in terrorism?

[Reza Nasri @RezaNasri1]

The idea that every sovereign country near Israel must cap its conventional weapons, limit its defensive capabilities, restrict missile and fighter jet ranges, and even dismantle its own military industries—just so Israel can "feel safe"—is completely absurd.

Which other nation on Earth demands and receives this kind of privilege?

This exceptionalism is especially ridiculous coming from a regime with such an inherently aggressive posture and track record in the region.

@AIRTEL_KE your technical issues have become too persistent lately.I unfortunately cannot be able to send money from Mpesa to Airtel money even today?...what's not happening?

I want to talk about killing Ukrainian and Russian conscripts.

When I served in Iraq, I led the initial force who secured and developed a place called al Taqaddum.

Later in the war, TQ (as it was known) was a safe logistics FOB with a movie theater, a PX and a C-17 capable airfield, and home of what are now derisively known as "Fobbits." But when I led the initial occupation, it was an abandoned airfield with derelict buildings, an airfield blocked with rusted BTR hulks, nightly rocket and mortar attacks, and constant probes of the wire by AQI insurgents.

Once we secured TQ and established it as a viable airfield, it became the hub for logistics in al Anbar Province.

Part of that logistics effort was "mortuary affairs," i.e., handling the remains of dead, proud American warriors.

I slept on a cot in an abandoned concrete hut that we think was once a storage location for chemical weapons (which might explain all of the autoimmune issues I developed after returning home).

About 25 feet from where I slept (about three hours a night) was a refrigerated shipping container that the mortuary affairs team had set up for temporary storage of human remains before they were shipped home to the USA.

Pretty much every other night, I would hear the diesel rumble of a HMMWV engine as it slowly drove by my hut, followed by the creaking door opening of the refrigeration container, as yet another brave American who died in Fallujah or Ramadi was stored temporarily for shipment home to a grieving family.

The noise of those HMMWVs and the creaking of that door haunts me to this very day. It invades my dreams.

Before you advocate for more dead Ukrainian and Russian teenagers and middle-aged fathers, think about what I just said.

Thank you.

Life is spiritual.

If you defile the soul of a nation, the consequences will follow you forever.

Chaotic politicians don't understand this.

[Russian Embassy in NL🇷🇺🇳🇱 @rusembassynl]

We would like to remind everyone - including our former allies - that the Red Army lost more than 600,000 people in the battles for Poland alone.
Only in an upside-down world those who built the death camps are welcome at the ceremony, while those who liberated Auschwitz are not.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

A 79-year-old billionare selling his soul for pennies, and positions for his sycopants is a new low. We shall outlive his selfish greed, and fix Kenya. Once greedy, always greedy. Once a traitor, always a traitor. What a sad end to an old, ambitious but indisciplined old man.

WHAT EXCITES POLITICIANS:

"Sisi kama wa'Luo"

"Sisi kama wa'Kikuyu"

"Sisi kama wa'Luhya"

"Sisi kama wa'Kalenjin"

WHAT SCARES POLITICIANS:

"Sisi kama WaKenya."

Politicians hate when Kenyans transcend ethnic enclaves to unite under one dream of ONE KENYA.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

What Gen Z are saying (as I heard them):

1. That the President show empathy for the families of those killed & to those injured. That the killed & injured have names, families and friends. They are not statistics nor criminals. If the President can’t lead the Nation in mourning & grieving, who will?

2. That the President pronounces himself that the Police must respect the Constitution & end extrajudicial abductions & kidnappings. That the Police stop terrorism on citizens. And Police violating the Constitution must know that soon, they will be personally liable.

3. That it is not about taxation but fiscal discipline by Government. More money is wasted than is collected. Chief Economic Advisor says everywhere is leaking!

4. That it is not about roads or house or employment but public transparency & integrity in public offices.

5. That corruption, tribalism & nepotism be ended. One leader has employed all his relatives in Government.

6. That there be humility in public leadership. Hubris, arrogance & talking down on citizens should end. Mta-do is primitive & archaic.

7. That public theft ends. Leaders with known salaries are driving big cars, live in big houses, wear expensive watches, fly helicopters & give out millions every weekend with known salaries can’t afford them. And they flout traffic rules.

8. That the Soul of Country needs to saved. It is not about material things.

9. Moral responsibility is higher calling than criminal culpability. Leaders don’t need to be convicted before they are suffered. Chapter 6 of the Constitution is about MORAL RESPONSIBILITY not CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY.

PS. My advise to the President is out of knowing him since 1992 & coming from the same town & desiring him to succeed. It is made in good faith & outmost diffidence.

In Bungoma,

In preparation for Madaraka Day,

A crook pocketed KES 149 million to plant flowers on the highway.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE MILLION.

Even the flowers in the Garden of Eden are not this expensive.

Do you know what KES 149 million can do for the poor people of Bungoma?

These Bungoma flowers are now withering, goats are chewing them, and pedestrians are trampling on them.

OK. Fine. Let us assume the flowers are worth 149 million, but can't you guard, protect, and nurture them?

This is a blatant theft of public money.

The people of Bungoma are the most impoverished, the poorest clan in the Luhya community, but remain docile because they were told:

"We are 3rd in Kafment,"

Refuse this slavery.
