Also, fuck Gary Neville you insufferable bastard. All game was setting a narrative for Arsenal to fall. Gagging for a final day finale. Right at the end he tried to switch it up. We see you little rat bastard.
The most honest thing ever said about the American War was said by a Vietnamese colonel to an American colonel after the war ended.
The American colonel, Harry Summers, told his Vietnamese counterpart:
"You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield."
The Vietnamese colonel, Nguyá» n ÄĂŽn Tá»±, thought about it and replied:
"That may be so. But it is also irrelevant."
That exchange contains the entire war.
The Americans won battles. They won firefights. They had superior firepower in almost every conventional engagement.
By their own metrics, body counts, kill ratios, territory controlled, they were often "winning."
And they lost the war.
Because wars are not won by body counts.
Wars are not won by kill ratios.
Wars are not won by the number of bombs dropped or the cost of the weapons deployed or the technological sophistication of the killing machinery.
Wars, especially wars of occupation, wars of colonial imposition, wars fought against people defending their own land, are won by will.
And on the question of will, there was never a contest.
The Vietnamese people had been resisting foreign occupation for two thousand years before America arrived.
Fighting was not a policy position. It was a cultural inheritance. A collective understanding of who they were and what they would do when someone came to tell them how to live.
America arrived with the most powerful military in human history and a firm belief that sufficient firepower could substitute for legitimacy.
It cannot. It never could. It never will.
Irrelevant. That one word, from a Vietnamese colonel to his American counterpart, is the entire lesson.
If 300+ people died and 1,000+ got injured in any place in the world.
London, NYC, Dubai, Toronto, Paris or any "major city" everyone would be screaming TERRORISM.
But when that HAPPENS within 10 minutes in an afternoon in Beirut, Lebanon by Israel suddenly the world switches up.
Disgusting.
How can we still live in a world where Israel is allowed to murder hundreds of people, at least 250, â with 100 bombs dropped in 10 minutes across Lebanon â and there is not a single word of condemnation from Western government?
How can we live with such abomination?
đȘđž BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.â
He also adds that the EU will suspend its Association Agreement with Israel very soon.
This is what true leadership looks like.
đ„ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi responds to Trumpâs last night threat: đ„
âCivilizations do not collapse because of one manâs words. History has seen empires rise and fallâbut fear has never decided their fate.â
âYou speak of âtonightâ as if time itself obeys you. It does not. Nations like ours are not measured in hours⊠but in generations of resistance.â
âIf you believe destruction is your power, then understand thisâthose who start such fires rarely control how they spread.â
âThis region is not a battlefield for your declarations. It is our home, our sovereigntyâand it will not bend to threats, no matter how urgent you make them sound.â
âYou warn of the end of civilization tonight. We warn of consequences that outlive any night⊠consequences that reshape the future.â
âSo before the sun rises, think carefullyâbecause once certain lines are crossed, there is no âtomorrowâ to return to the way it was.â

Iran is not a nation you intimidate into submission. Iran does not think like the West and that is where many miscalculate.
It is a civilization built on endurance. The Persians do not respond to threats the way many expect, they absorb them, study them, and adapt. Pressure does not weaken them; it restructures them.
I have spent years studying Iran, its posture, its systems, its psychology. What many fail to grasp is that it is deeply decentralized by design. Power is layered, distributed, and resilient. You cannot simply âbreakâ it in the conventional sense.
So when force is applied and called strategy, when escalation is framed as dominance, it reveals a fundamental misunderstanding.
Because while some are performing strength through destruction, Iran is calculating longevity.
And this is where history becomes the real classroom.
Students of globalization, international affairs, foreign policy, security doctrine, and negotiation strategy will study this moment closely, not as a show of power, but as a lesson in miscalculation.
They will ask: how did leaders confuse endurance for weakness?
How did they mistake restraint for vulnerability?
How did they fail to recognize that some systems are not designed to win quickly but to outlast everything?
In the end, it will not be the loudest show of force that defines this moment.
It will be who understood the game and who didnât.
Just saying.
