I discuss on @Bannons_WarRoom why the whole idea of a naval blockade won't go anywhere. Trump has no escalatory paths out of this futile war; the sooner he recognizes that and adopts realistic negotiation positions, the better off the US will be.

Stunning! It was achieved through the wars Israel pushed the US into, the genocide it committed, and the manner in which criticism of Israel has been punished. It's backfiring MASSIVELY. Among men under 50, Israel's favourability has tanked from -3 in 2022 to -47 in 2026!

While the US and Iran can hold out for weeks, perhaps months, other countries are paying an even greater price for the blockade and the deadlock. Kuwait has not exported a drop of oil in 30 days. Many Asian countries are suffering from acute fuel shortages.

Part of my debate with Matt Kroenig as to whether Trump's Iran war is legitimate: KROENIG: "The US is being a responsible power following the law of armed conflict and only going after legitimate military targets." PARSI: “Does that include the girl's school in which 165 children were killed?”

LOL! This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea." So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂 This is a scene straight out of Kafka...

Israel's goal is to destroy Iran's industrial base and set the country back decades to ensure that Tehran cannot pose a challenge to Israel's hegemonic designs for years to come - regardless of the cost to the global economy, regional stability, or Trump's presidency...

First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime. Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.

Told @aje that the question is if there can be a pathway toward an agreement or if Trump continues to bomb Iran for another 2 weeks and then declares victory and leaves the Straits under Iranian control - since the fate of the Straits impacts Asian powers far more than the US.

Trump: "He [Saudi Arabia's MBS] didn't think he'd be kissing my ass... But now he has to be nice to me." This is the choice the GCC will face post-war. If it moves toward deeper dependence on the US to balance Iran, they'll become spineless vassals similar to Europe, who have to "kiss Trump's ass."

This is heartbreaking. In play, children reenact what they see in order to make sense of it and feel a degree of control. In Gaza, little girls play "funeral" with their doll playing the role of a friend who has been killed.

Joe Kent goes to the heart of the matter: Without addressing America's imbalanced relationship with Israel, the current war won't end and a deal with Tehran cannot be found. "The main issue is that the Israelis are out of control, and they are driving this entire war."

It was always assumed #MLS Eastern Conference was the dominant force in the league. Through 25% of the season, has the Western Conference changed that narrative? East vs West, who reigns supreme? Video: youtu.be/NOkDCGGI0jM Audio: linktr.ee/thedppod

Politicians and the price of gas under Biden vs Trump. Of course, you can probably do the same in reverse, because both parties do the same thing, it's always the other guy's fault. Its just that Trump lies about how great everything is, even in the face of everyday reality.🗽

I hated having to work with shitty cops. Most of my career, I worked with great cops and Detectives, but sometimes you got stuck with some racist or brutal guys. I had to intervene a few times they got arrogant or excessively physical. I got a bad rep and they avoided working with me afterwards.

Sie haben sich auch schon früher völlig grundlos bei Jamous entschuldigt. Schade, sehr schade, von Ihnen hätte ich mehr Souveränität erwartet. Stattdessen kuschen Sie vor dem Unions-Faschoflügel. Er hetzt seit Monaten ungehemmt und offen auf Schwarz-Braun hin, siehe X, NIUS, BILD und WeLD.

Summerville, South Carolina, police arrested a 13-year-old child selling palmetto roses outside a Walmart Both officers were cleared, but local reporting and public reaction focused on whether that level of force and escalation made any sense at all for a 13-year-old selling roses.
