Really?
"Lyatollah." Good one.
There are zero Africans, or at least none that I've seen.
Sistani is a fascinating figure.
'By addressing an ongoing regional war, Najaf signals that the conflict carries consequences that extend well beyond the immediate battlefield.' writes Alabbas F. Alsudani in the latest #RUSICommentary.
I wanted to write something more upbeat, for in fact I have no qualms about thrashing Iran. But I could not.

Local media reporting that Germany has moved F125 frigate Nordrhein-Westfalen to Cyprus, in order to participate in defence of the island against notional threats by Iran. A few thoughts on the nuances at play here. Usual info caveats apply.

Yup
The gas thing will hit hardest. All those fool Americans with their gigantic cars...and we drive a lot. It's a huge country.
I'm anticipating some really poor crops this year because of fertilizer prices.
True. But wait until Americans have to pay $6 for a gallon of gasoline. Then you will see real anger.
The fertilizer thing has me worried. For my day job I watch things like how African governments organize fertilizer imports. The surging prices will be like a kick in the groin.
Jews.
Just you wait.
When it ends ...and in the meantime...
If we are lucky. But I doubt it.
Here's my prediction: it's the Iran war that will topple Trump. Not ICE. Not corruption. Not Epstein. This war. In part because it's causing a schism among Republicans between the Tuckerites and the rest. Also because gasoline prices are going to go astronomical. Guess who will be blamed.
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
Pretty big news out of ECOWAS aimed at combatting that looks aimed to combat and mitigate the spread of JNIM, ISGS, ISWAP, and others. Intent appears to be to cooperate with the Alliance of Sahel States (Mali, Niger, & Burkina Faso) as well.
I meant to write Khamenei. But Khomeini as well.
Things simultaneously true:
1. Iran's regime is evil. F*ck Khomeini.
2. Blowing stuff up seldom has strategic value.
3. POTUS's ability to initiate a war like this despite the Constitution should worry all Americans whether we approve of this instance or not
If only I had reason to believe the people in charge knew what they were doing.
Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner
I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

This is not a movie scene.
This is a Ukrainian city that Russia is systematically erasing.
They want it to disappear — physically and from the world’s memory.
Please, don’t stay SILENT
