I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

The condition of prisoners in Iran is dire.
A recent report from HRANA, based on data from several prisons, indicates shortages of safe drinking water, decreased food quantity and quality, limited medical care, and restricted access to prison shops.

He's still babbling on about how it should have been a team effort, and other nations apparently must now secure the Strait of Hormuz - after he set fire to the entire region with no plan, and made it incredibly dangerous to do so.
A week ago he didn't want any help, the war was already won...
So Trump is saying the war with Iran is pretty much almost done and Hormuz is pretty much almost open, but at the same time, he is calling his allies (the ones he loves to insult and threaten) to help him unblock Hormuz. And some people were stupid enough to vote for this?

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
Maybe most Nordic radio broadcast you will ever hear:
“Which Nordic country has the best Eurovision song — and which country will come last? And Swedish military vehicles have crossed the world's most peaceful border; we will talk about the NATO exercise Cold Response."
🇵🇱⚖️Polish parliament elects six judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, and the question whether they will even get to sit there is open, as President Nawrocki needs to hear their oath of service, and the Tribunal's President needs to let them in the building. Neither is a certainty at this point. 1/

Think there is a corollary to the "Nothing is true and everything is possible" nihilism which is rooted in the idea that nothing is serious.
We should reject it. Fight against it. It's inhuman and at the heart of the slide into neo-authoritarianism.
Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.
Trump worried about the Deep State, so he created the Derp State in its place, a government run by morons who think they’re the smartest people.

Chief addressing the troops: Well, this sucks but we are Marines and at least the place we’re landing at doesn’t start with ‘G’ like Guadalcanal. Or Gallipolli. Because that would be a bad omen.

The Dardanelles are open for transit, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is the Ottomans shooting at the fleet," he said. "It is open for transit should the Ottomans not do that."
the aesthetics of this administration are completely baffling to me. I didn’t like the ra ra rural patriotism of the bush days but it was at least a look with a recognizable heritage. even trump 1 was like, nouveau-vulgar. this time they’re all dressing like school shooters. “blackwater-chic?”
