i ain't no fancy pants big city military strategist but it seems to me trump is losing badly in Iran and this may well be the one hole he can't lie his way out of. His alternatives to current "strategy" look way worse than what he's trying.meanwhile Iran looks to be in relative terms unflustered

Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.
Looks like someone in the White House made billions.

Lebanon called for direct negotiations with Israel. Israel said no.
Israel knows that Hezbollah will not surrender its weapons under these conditions.
You put two and two together and it is easy to see that Israel wants Lebanon itself destroyed.
Not just Hezbollah. Lebanon itself.

Escaping the tough-on-crime media trap
Decades of tough-on-crime rhetoric have narrowed political debate, but safer communities may depend on shifting the conversation toward prevention, accountability and repair.
For decades, โtough on crimeโ rhetoric has dominated political debate.
But overcrowded prisons and growing evidence about what actually reduces offending highlight the language of punishment is failing to deliver safer communities, Jane Anderson writes.

EU and UK demand Israel stop surge in West Bank settler violence
Six Palestinians have been killed during attacks by settlers in the West Bank since the start of Israel's war, the UN says.
The European Union and United Kingdom, which have largely done nothing at all to hold Israel to account and swear off ever doing anything to hold Israel to account, demand that Israel stop its land theft in the West Bank, or else the EU and UK will do nothing some more.

Even if the war ends fast, โnormalโ wonโt fully return. Trust and relationships are slow to rebuild, and that shows up as less trade, less cooperation, and more expensive risk management.

Youโd think, in a country where a woman is killed, on average, once every week the epidemic of violence against women would take precedence over a slogan on a shirt. Just sayingโฆ๐คฌ

not a good electorate for a community independent. it covers 1/3 of Victoria. it's a doughnut in that all the voters are around the edges making them hard to get to. the demographics are against it. there's a solid lump of nat voters you never see never get to talk to who just turn up on the day
