.@AJEnglish asked me if Trump could have achieved the same outcome without war. What the war did, in my view, was that the US came to realize that war does not work and, as a result, the US needed a deal that ensured long-term peace. That's the impact of having tried war.

Told @LyndaKinkade that Iran's goal appears to be to secure a complete rather than partial end to the conflict with the US. Trump is the right president to strike such a grand bargain, but he keeps undermining his own diplomacy with endless tactical errors.

WOW! Tucker on Israeli TV: “As an Israeli, you should pause before using the phrase ‘terror regime.’ Since you live in a country that murdered thousands of children in Gaza." The anchor accuses Tucker of equating Israel - "a country that abides by international law" - with Iran.

Just as in Gaza, the US is lifting the constraints on how Israel can use American bombs. As a result, Israel uses 2,000lb bombs to strike densely populated areas in Tehran. So, we are now seeing Gaza-style images of civilians and children being killed en masse in Iran.

If you want escalation, surrender is what you should be looking for. That's why pro-Israeli voices are pushing for outlandish demands - because they know it will beget escalation and more war.

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.

Trump says he'll bomb Iran to the Stone Age and then the next President must bomb again. This is the Israelization of America's war - it's Israel's mowing-the-lawn policy This is precisely why previous Presidents resisted Israel's pressure for war w/ Iran: To avoid endless war

A resident in Tehran films the US and Israel bomb densely populated neighborhoods in Tehran. These are clearly massive munitions with little to no regard for civilian casualties. Indeed, the entire neighborhood is engulfed in fire and smoke. Just as Israel did in Gaza.

Told @cnn that Trump tying the Iran deal with regional accession to the Abraham Accords will ensure that the war continues. But Trump may be raising the Accords to bolster his pro-Israeli credentials and deflect from inevitable criticism that his deal is opposed by Israel.

We are forced to take up arms to defend our natural resources; the homeland is not for sale, it must be defended. We warn Rodrigo Paz to stop the repression against the people and his police to stop the massacre... or it will be bullet by bullet, think about it a thousand times.

Травневий ранок, ще й після дощу, Звабливо свіжий як цукерка з м`яти. Хмаринки де-не-де, немов із вати, А дощ-гуляка ледь вночі ущух. І сонце сонне мружить далину. Ще не пече, а лиш легенько гріє... У мить таку народжується мрія І слово відтина пуповину. Звичайне слово, зронене із уст...

Stop optimizing for clicks. Start optimizing for answers. The shift from SEO to LLMO is happening right now. Keywords = Search Engines. Entities = AI Models. If your brand isn't in the training data, you are invisible to the user.

I urged all members to reject the removal of the Digital Services Tax. Letting US big tech off the hook means walking away from $7.2B that could fund public services and infrastructure. We should not be abandoning Canadian policy simply because of pressure from Donald Trump.
