@no2xtractive6tm@chuxpassport@firstladyship@DavidHundeyin Whatever helps you sleep at night. If you believe your LGA chairman’s failure to provide even something as basic as potable water is the CIA’s fault, then keep blaming the West. It’s easier than holding your own leaders accountable.
@NBCNews Welcome to the 21st century, where some of the same voices in the left-leaning media that routinely speak about Black empowerment, representation and equality are now vilifying a Black man simply because he reached a conclusion they don't like.
@realObonjo@firstladyship Lol 🤣🤣. The Millennium Dome and Brighton Dome aren’t military defences, they’re just buildings.
And while the UK does have air‑defence systems, it doesn’t have a nationwide shield that can reliably intercept long‑range ballistic missiles like a 4,000 km IRBM.
@SianBailey65983@firstladyship Fair enough, the IDF claim hasn’t been independently verified yet. No satellite imagery, no US DoD confirmation, no UN or IAEA reporting so far. But you are not correct on whether Iran has capability. Technically speaking, it's plausible. Btw, propaganda comes from both sides.
@Kanrabbai@firstladyship This comes across as performative. There’s no real need to single out one audience for reassurance, and doing so feels more like managing perceptions than offering any meaningful information.
3. It’s a comforting narrative for some because it’s simple, emotional and easy to spread. But it ignores the reality that authoritarianism doesn’t become noble just because it wraps itself in anti‑Western slogans. #IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
1. In today’s world, the moment a leader brands themselves as anti‑Western, anti‑imperialist, resisting the West or standing up to America, a certain group of people immediately start celebrating them. #IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
2. It doesn’t seem to matter what atrocities that leader has committed or how brutally they treat their own citizens. In their worldview, the West = bad and anyone opposed to the West = good. #IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
4. You can’t claim to care about human rights while turning a blind eye to one of the deadliest crackdowns in recent memory. At some point, the double standards become impossible to ignore. #IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
1. It’s worth remembering what happened on 8 January 2026, when the Iranian authorities shut down almost the entire country’s internet and phone networks for weeks. That blackout hid a brutal crackdown in which thousands of ordinary Iranians were killed.#IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
3. The same people who insist life is somehow better under the Iranian regime than in the West had almost nothing to say when Iranians were being silenced, cut off and murdered. It’s selective outrage at its worst. #IsraelIranWar#USIranWar
Yet some commentators in the West who describe themselves as advocates for women’s rights still portray countries like Iran as safer for women than the Western world. The contrast between their claims and cases like this is difficult to reconcile.
In reality, her situation should have been treated as a case of sexual abuse, but instead the authorities brought fabricated charges against her and publicly executed her by hanging on August 15, 2004.
2/2. The same people who criticise their own governments for far less suddenly become silent or even supportive when these restrictions happen elsewhere. The double standard speaks for itself.
1/2. It is ironic how many self‑proclaimed liberal commentators in the West claim to be fighting for women’s rights all over the world, yet routinely defend or excuse foreign governments that impose strict limits on women’s dress, movement, family rights and public participation.
@_deyemi I thought we've all agreed that multiple truths can co-exist without cancelling each other out. If so, then raising other issues is not always an attempt to compete over victimhood, but can be a genuine effort to broaden the conversation and reduce harm for everyone.
