Trump Again Says Syria Could Help Israel Fight Hezbollah In Lebanon

This time he repeats the line in front of the new Syrian regime’s leader Ahmed al-Shara’a, who Trump brags about putting in power.

You cannot be pro NATO and also pro peace

They exist as a mechanism to enable United States imperialism and war crimes

The introduction of VAR into soccer tournments is actually a great example of how introducing technologies that are meant to better surveil for the sake of better arbitrating and enforcing the rules end up emboldening and strengthening pre-existing abusers and usurpers of power.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

It’s really frustrating that VAR provides such a great potential addition to FIFA in helping ensure fair application of rules, etc, but that all of its potential is being squandered by FIFA as it scrambles to weaponize it to protect its favorite teams time and time again

The US & NATO are facing heavy losses across both the Ukraine front & the Hormuz front, exacerbating an impending economic crisis. Relaunching the Iran war during Ayatollah Khamenei's mourning ceremonies is a true act of desperation that will surely backfire.

There's research on this. Naive defenses of VAR come from same places that mystify the material and ideological context of any technology. I was reading up on VAR: https://t.co/GFTK2BFEnr

"We're not going to put our heads in the sand like ostriches. There was no integrity in the way things were handled [by FIFA]. But I'm proud of my team. I'm proud of my country. I'm proud of my Arabness. I'm proud that I'm African."

"We were told football gets decided on the pitch, today it was decided in a control room" encapsulates what's so frustrating about today's injustices: the cowardice of the powers that be can no longer be challenged when they're deciding the fates of others from high places.

[Vfynn_🥷🏼 𐙚 @Vfynn_]

🚨🗣️New: Mohamed Salah on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:

“People will say Argentina showed the mentality of champions. Fine. But tell me this: when exactly did Egypt get the same protection from the officials?

We scored a second goal. The stadium exploded. The world saw it. Then suddenly VAR became an archaeologist, digging through the ruins of football history to find a foul from another lifetime.

Funny how they could rewind the game Five minutes to cancel our goal, but when I was brought down in the box, everyone suddenly forgot where the replay button was.

That’s what hurts. Not losing. Not Argentina.

The inconsistency.

One decision gets examined under a microscope. Another gets buried under the carpet.

We were told football is decided on the pitch. Tonight it felt like it was decided in a control room.

And let’s talk about those final minutes.

Two penalty appeals. Two moments that could have changed everything. Nothing. No review. No urgency. No explanation.

Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.

That isn’t a plot twist. That’s the kind of script that leaves millions of people asking questions.

Egypt fought for every blade of grass. We defended. We believed. We earned our moments.

But every time we climbed the mountain, someone moved the summit.

The disallowed goal.

The ignored penalty shouts.

The cards flying around our bench because people who dedicate their lives to this game couldn’t understand what they were witnessing.

And now we’re expected to smile and say football won?

No.

Football wins when the rules are applied equally.

Football wins when VAR is a shield for fairness, not a sword that appears only when convenient.

Because from where I’m standing, Egypt didn’t just lose 3-2.

Egypt lost a goal, lost two penalty appeals, lost faith in consistency, and eventually lost a place in the quarter-finals.

Maybe Argentina deserved to advance.

Maybe they didn’t.

That’s football.

But what will make people angry isn’t the result.

It’s the feeling that one team was forced to play against eleven men, the clock, and a set of decisions that seemed to change shape whenever the game demanded it.

And that’s why this match will be remembered long after the scoreline is forgotten.”

[jordan peterson's favourite postmodern neo-marxist @herzbollah]

The betting and fixing happening behind closed doors that's making Infantino and his buddies sweat every other match is definitely political. This spectacle has very real financial and political implications for the Global South

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

This match is proof that colonialism and yt supremacy go way beyond politics.

[jordan peterson's favourite postmodern neo-marxist @herzbollah]

Anyway, the Global South was robbed, the World Cup needs to be boycotted, glory to the r€sistance, etc.

[jordan peterson's favourite postmodern neo-marxist @herzbollah]

Like I actually do not want to ever hear the argument that VAR was meant to make the game more fair by keeping the (human) referee's decisions in check. We see the same BS argument with drone warfare, biometric data collection, AI comms, etc.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.

[jordan peterson's favourite postmodern neo-marxist @herzbollah]

The world needs to collectively opt out of engaging this world cup for a long list of reasons that keep increasing with every match and every move that Infantino makes...

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

FIFA just wants Argentina to win.

Goal canceled.

Penalty not given.

This shit is rigged.

Fuck Messi, fuck Argentina, fuck Israel, and death to the IDF 💯
