I think its a mistake for SAF to deny the strikes inside of Chad. They ought to own their actions and use it to make the point that the war is already internationalized and that 5 of their 7 immediate neighbors are actively supplying the RSF.

Important/ The first aftershocks of the Trump administration's economic pressure policy; zooming in on the UAE and China. U.S. Treasury Secretary: 'The Treasury Department has pledged to cut off every remaining economic avenue for Tehran and finally put an end to the threat of the Islamic Republic regime. We have also warned that those who assist the regime cannot simultaneously have access to the U.S. dollar and the global financial system. The "Misr" Bank, UAE branch, has decided to take this warning lightly and now must pay the price. Today, we are taking the first step to hold this bank accountable for its ongoing and extensive support of the Islamic Republic regime.'

The well-worn path of autocrats everwhere. If you cannot win the argument on Palestine, start locking up your opponents. US issues sanctions against Palestine Action
Bushra Shaikh: The more I think about Zelenskyy...
The more I think about Zelenskyy praising Netanyahu, the angrier I get. British taxpayers have been asked to shoulder billions for this war, around £25 billion committed to Ukraine, while people here are struggling to make ends meet. And after all that, we are expected to sit quietly while Zelenskyy backs Netanyahu? No. I'm done with this charade. You cannot demand endless solidarity, money and weapons from ordinary people while openly embracing a leader accused of some of the gravest crimes imaginable. That is a red line for me. Not another penny of British taxpayers' money. Britain first.

Ukrainians protest against forced recruitment into the military in Ternopil in Western Ukraine.

Because they are running out of Ukrainian men to kidnap & chuck into the trenches, the unelected Zelensky Regime will be asking the women to sacrifice themselves at the altar of European vanity.Bushra Shaikh: The U.S. forcing additional sanctions...
The U.S. forcing additional sanctions on Iran and threatening countries that do business with Iran sounds a lot more like a country losing a war than one that is winning. Just saying.Pouria Zeraati: Important...
Important/ Trump: 'The U.S. Navy just informed me that all the mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz have either been cleared or detonated. We have also notified the Islamic Republic that from now on, any ship or boat that attempts to lay mines again will be immediately and systematically destroyed. With the help of the U.S. Space Force, we are monitoring every inch of the Strait of Hormuz; just as we are monitoring "Mount Clang" and the three other nuclear sites that were previously destroyed. As for mine-laying, the "zero tolerance" policy is being fully enforced, with no leniency whatsoever.'

This has been Trump's plan all along: deliberately taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy to try and destroy the country's sovereignty and bring about its annexation by the United States.

Guess the markets waking up to concern over US - Canada trade war & a US - China trade war over Iran, and China is the biggest economic facilitator of Iran. How is Bessent going to address that?Pouria Zeraati: Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary...
Important/ Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, on the Islamic Republic: "Now we're entering the final stage... In 1943, Allied leaders gathered in the Tehran Conference to plan for a path that had never been experienced before. As Roosevelt and Churchill were thinking about operations that would ultimately lead to the landing of Allied forces in Normandy, they asked themselves: What can be done to bring the greatest possible pressure to bear on the enemy [Hitler]? History has brought that same question back to Tehran. It's time for America to answer this question with all its power and resolve. Donald Trump and the immense might of our military have destroyed a significant portion of the Islamic Republic's military capabilities and weakened its nuclear program as well. Now we're entering the final stage. At dawn, a 'D-Day' economic operation begins—the largest economic war ever organized against an enemy. The Islamic Republic has been a destructive force in the world for 47 years. Inside Iran too, it has dragged an economy that could have been one of the world's strongest to ruin and suppressed its hardworking and entrepreneurial people. Trump has brought the Islamic Republic's economy to a point where the rial has never been worth so little and inflation has rarely been this high. Now the regime's last hope is the self-deception of countries that, out of fear, still think that by giving in to an aggressive regime, a lasting peace can be achieved."Philip Proudfoot: Amid the year’s endless horror...
Amid the year’s endless horror, it’s easy to forget its most spectacular world-historical development: Iran humiliated the US — again, and again, and again. The era of infinite US military-power is over. Trump didn’t just not make America great, he caused its final decline.Timothy Ash: Another incoherent effort...
Another incoherent effort by the Trump administration. Poorly thought out, no strategic planning or vision, and poorly executed by people out of their depth.Timothy Ash: Thing is Netanyahu seems to want...

A Ukrainian woman begs on her knees for the armed forces not to take her husband away. Hundreds of Slavs are being sent to die and kill other Slavs against their will while the dead are replaced by immigrants. Is Burnham 100% behind Zelensky’s press gang or the distraught wife ?
Pouria Zeraati: Erdogan, the dishonorable one...
Erdogan, the dishonorable one, is carrying out the same destructive role for Iran that Khomeini did/ Israeli sources: Turkish warships have come "very close" to Israeli military vessels in several instances as they passed through international waters in the region. Israel's Defense Minister said today that it's better for Erdogan to just rant against Bibi and Israel in their own parliament rather than actually trying to challenge Israel's military power for real. The interesting point is that the Ynet website reported that Israel's recent attack on the Turkish base in Syria was in full coordination with the officials of the Jolani government :)Craig Murray: In Ukraine, Zelensky's Chief of Staff...
In Ukraine, Zelensky's Chief of Staff and other presidential aides stole £2.5 million of public money to post bail for Zelensky's Energy Minister awaiting trial for corruption. Yes, you read that right.

Daniel Lacalle: Iran's "resistance" strategy...
Iran's "resistance" strategy has backfired spectacularly. The regime bet its entire strategy on threatening neighbors, funding terror proxies, and holding the world hostage over the Strait of Hormuz. That bet just collapsed. The regime only remains due to a system of terror and repression, not public support. The military power behind the threat has proven far weaker than advertised, incapable of even closing Hormuz to everyone except itself. The real lesson: Iran just exposed its own greatest vulnerability. ~80% of its exports and roughly 25% of its GDP flow through that strait. By trying to weaponize it, Tehran didn't scare the world. It just handed everyone a map of its biggest weakness. Iran has done more damage to its own economy than any sanctions regime ever could, while proving to global buyers that diversified, non-Iran energy routes are the safer bet long-term. Weakness disguised as leverage is still weakness.Daniel Lacalle: UAE cuts off all trade...
UAE cuts off all trade and financial transactions with Iran. The Iranian terror regime is increasingly isolated. The largest country they import from has cut them off completely: ~30% of pre war imports and ~13% of pre war exportsGareth Icke: The IHRA working definition...

Fears increase that conflict in the Middle East could be widened as Iran is now reported to be considering strikes on U.S. targets in southeastern Europe. The US admits it will not be rebuilding all of the infrastructure and capacity of its damaged Middle East military bases.Read more
