Our hearts ache as we announce the passing of John Kinsel Sr., a cherished elder and one of the immortal Navajo Code Talkers. At 107, he leaves behind a legacy of unbreakable bravery forged in the fires of Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. From 1942 to 1946, as a U.S. Marine, he wielded his sacred language, the uncrackable code, to weave the vital communications that defied the enemy and tipped the scales of World War II.
This deal so ridiculously, flagrantly, one-sidedly harmful to the US interests that I'm having a certain trouble coming to terms with the fact that it's real.
It's like something of a bad movie when the President turns out to have been replaced by an alien, or a SPECTRE henchman
This is an astonishing document. Not a single war aim has been achieved, but Iran receives enormous financial incentives, and even Hezbollah gets some benefits. What an absolute disaster. https://t.co/uj3990eh6q
The next time you hear JD Vance casually accuse his critics of unpatriotically spreading misinformation, remember that he described the *accurate* descriptions of the MOU as Iranian propaganda. He says what he needs to say in the moment without regard for the truth — or decency.
Ich erinnere an den 17.06.1953.
Das 🇩🇪 deutsche Volk in den östlichen Ländern hat sich gegen die russische Besatzung gewehrt.
Sie wurden brutal von den Russen ermordet.
Anschließend wurde die DDR-Regierung endgültig eine willfährige Marionetten der Russen.
#Volksaufstand
Vance leaked war plans to Erdogan in order to spike them, stone-walled the war effort, & negotiated a deal amounting to unconditional surrender by the US.
I can't readily think of a historical parallel. Henry Wallace, maybe. Or Buchanan's actions to strengthen the South pre-war.
The Scots are ready to bury the hatchet and sing “Starmer’s a wanker” for the English.
Ancient rivalry cancelled due to mutual hatred of Orwellian nonsense
England fans often get plenty of stick at major tournaments, but fair play to these lads last night for staying behind to help clear up after themselves. 👏🏴
Bloomberg has published the MoU.
Now we know why they did not want to release the text…
There are zero substantive enforceable commitments from the Islamic Republic in this document.

The biggest problem with Trump is this rare combination of extreme narcissism and below-average stupidity.
To justify his mistakes, he now claims that Iran has a permanent chokehold on the world economy - that without him, “the strait would never open and the world would sink into a worldwide depression.”
In his own words, he is elevating Iran to a superpower, simply to explain away his mistakes.
This comes at a time when the Iranian economy was already teetering on the verge of collapse before the war, and the blockade on Iran was working while CENTCOM was doing a great job degrading their ability to control the strait.
In effect, while believing he is saving the elections, he is turning himself into a lame duck before even completing two years in office - signaling to the entire world that the U.S. Navy’s 250-year tradition of maintaining freedom of navigation is ending. Iran, and later other countries, could challenge U.S. power whenever there is a weak or tired president.
I did think it's important to point out that lots of these guys are the Euro equivalent of Disney adults mortgaging their homes to meet Mickey. They're just more fun to be around
