There should be books written on exactly how he's pulled this miracle off. In a world terrified of US power, he spotted the threat coming and prepared. No underhanded tactics, not even making the first strike when he could and knowing he would die. With country sanctioned for decades, demonized with relentless propaganda.
Iran stood firm and the US defeat was clear from the word go. That is intelligence, effort and courage on a scale most of us are not capable of.
This should be studied, because the entire Global South needs to learn.
Iran already told your leaders directly: stop letting America bomb us from your airspace. That’s not a riddle. Your government has the agency to have that conversation with Tehran tomorrow. But instead he is here analyzing deleted Trump tweets like Trump is the one with the answer. He’s the reason you’re in this mess, not the way out of it!
@AlBuffalo2nite Exactly! I tried to have a conversation with a friend about what’s happening with the Iran–U.S.–Israel situation, and they had a completely different take. I basically had to educate them on the reality.
The 2026 Met Gala dress code has been unveiled as ‘Fashion Is Art.’
The event will be co-chaired by Beyoncé, Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour.
@s_m_marandi To clarify, I think “desperately” here was not meant as begging or weakness, but as conveying urgency and a grave warning about the catastrophic consequences of war. It speaks to the seriousness of the moment, not a lack of resolve.
US and Western media corporations are playing their usual smokescreen role in trying to manage the public response to Epstein by framing it as a story about a lone pervert and a few of his rich friends, rather than the complete corruption of the highest levels of government, industry, finance, diplomacy, and academia by single oppressive foreign regime (Israel), its spies, and proxies. This systemic corruption didn’t die with Epstein. And it won’t be rooted out by the Democrats, the Republicans, or the corporate media, all of which are deeply implicated. The regime must be isolated, its ruthless proxies in the West held accountable, and redress for all of its victims, whether the abused girls in the US or the genocided masses in Palestine, must be secured. The cruelty, arrogance, entitlement, open supremacism, and impunity of all the perpetrators in Epstein’s web (and in those of who knows how many other Epsteins) must be washed away with the disinfectant of justice. Otherwise, it will only spread.
Epstein, Western Decline, & The Moral Collapse Of The Elites | ZeroHedge
"What is at stake is no longer who “visited the island” or who “caught a ride on Epstein’s plane.” What is at stake is the fact that networks of this kind only exist when they are backed by deep institutional protection. There is no ritual pedophilia, no human trafficking on a transnational scale, no systematic production of extreme material without political, police, judicial, and media cover. This is not conspiracy: it is the logic of power.
From this point on, the West can no longer hide behind the idea of gradual decline. It is not merely cultural degeneration or a loss of values.
It is something darker: an elite that operates outside any recognizable moral limits and yet continues to govern. People directly or indirectly involved with this world continue to decide elections, wars, economic policies, and the fate of entire societies.
If there is anything positive in this moment, it is the end of naivety.
It is no longer possible to pretend that the system is “sick but recoverable.” What remained of the Western (anti-)civilizational project has been corroded from within. What comes next is still uncertain – and will be contested by all possible and necessary means.
But one thing is clear: after Epstein, nothing can continue as before. Anyone who acts as if nothing has changed either does not understand the gravity of what has come to light or is pretending not to understand."
