Reminder to self:

The right things to do are usually also the hardest.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Reminder again that the President of the United States has no idea what a trade deficit is — a concept taught in high school econ.

He thinks that if the US buys $500 of goods and services from Canada, and Canada buys $400 of goods and services from the US, we have “lost” $100.

Here, Hasan Piker is parroting the exact same bullshit Hamas and its supporters in the West have been selling for years: “Gaza is the graveyard of the occupiers.”

Hamas used that same slogan to boast that Gaza would become a graveyard for Israeli occupation forces if they dared to enter. Well, Israeli forces entered Gaza, committed horrific crimes, reduced it to rubble, and seized huge parts of the territory.

Gaza became a graveyard, but for tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

That’s the disgusting reality of this “resistance” fantasy. People sitting safely in the West get to glorify “resistance,” chant about victory, and treat Palestinian suffering like some revolutionary adventure. They pay absolutely none of the price. Palestinians do.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

A message to pro-Palestine activists in the West:

When protesters in Gaza last year called Hamas a terrorist organization, they were not siding with Israel, nor were they "Mossad agents." They were standing up for themselves, because they know exactly what Hamas is and what it has been like to live under its rule and repression for the past 17 years.

Listen to the people who have actually lived under Hamas—not those who romanticize it from thousands of miles away.

The United States and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium at a later stage of the war, likely to only take place after both countries are confident Iran's military can no longer mount a serious threat to the forces involved, with the mission involving special operators alongside scientists, possibly from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to four sources with knowledge of the discussions who spoke to Axios

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Despite this statement, attacks by Iran are continuing this morning against neighboring countries in the Middle East, including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with this statement likely aimed at a select number of countries that have unusually come under attack over the last week despite their close relationship with Iran, particularly Azerbaijan and Oman.

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility:

“I guess,” he says

A Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet was the cause of the accidental shootdown of 3 F-15E Strike Eagles in a “friendly fire” incident over the country on Sunday, not a Kuwaiti “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Battery like had initially been believed, three people familiar with initial reports of the incident told the Wall Street Journal.

One F/A-18 launched three missiles against the F-15s, according to a U.S. official, with all three aircraft being hit and going down, but their pilots ejecting safely. The incident occurred soon after multiple Iranian drones had penetrated Kuwaiti air defenses, one striking a commercial port and killing six American servicemembers, with Kuwaiti officials on edge when their radars detected the jets flying in and fired on them.

@fathermeeth The fact that Iran ada banyak influence dalam Palestin, adalah sebuah kegagalan dr pihak pejuang Palestin.

Video published this morning by the Israeli Air Force showing the targeting and destruction of a two awaiting to takeoff F-4 Phantom IIs and an F-5 Tiger II with the Iranian Air Force, during strikes on Tabriz Air Base in the East Azerbaijan Province on Northwestern Iran.

The neo‑con wet dream is fully underway. Khameini is dead, and Iran is now on the path to becoming Syria 2.0, while the powers that be extract resources and prop up proxies, all the while selling weapons to all sides. Everyone wins but the people of Iran!

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

If what I’m hearing is true

That the butcher of Syria and Iraq, Khamenei, is dead

Then my only sadness is that it was at the hands of the Jews and their lapdogs in the White House

And not the Muslims

[TheIntelFrog @TheIntelFrog]

Just a word of caution: Lots of claims are going to be made in the coming days from all sides.

Already seen claims of US troops injured and killed in Bahrain along with Israeli claims that Khamenei has been killed.

Wait for the dust to settle and the chips to fall where they may.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Where are those Muslim imams and community leaders who did a rally for him, calling him the peace candidate, in 2024?

Where are all the pundits, including some on the left, who claimed he would be the antiwar president?
