He's going to israel in June to "show everyone how beautiful and free israel is", Tyler Olivier style, specifically bc "all these left streamers talk about how it's a Jim Crow society", so my guess is that he did pause, thought it over, and went "yeah, this is a good thing to post actually".

Given how embarrassing isntreal's last attempt at attacking Iran went, I feel like them probing about possible strikes is supposed to be a warning not to interfere with the worsening conditions for Palestinians, and the current occupation of Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon, and whatever they have planned.

Doing this would be cruel to Iranians, and attacking their infrastructure for more than just weapons as it's part of their energy sector. They are under a lot of sanctions from the West, and have thrived despite it partly bc of nuclear energy. This is "israel" threatening the *people* of Iran too.

I'm saying this now, bc if nothing else, the amount of scary messaging will indeed increase dramatically, and if "israel" decides to actually strike and not just threaten to do so, we all need to know how to read reports like this to stay calm. Isntreal likes to antagonize in their messaging.

Isntreal wants to perpetuate the idea of Iran being a danger and set the stage for manufactured consent. Always be 10x as skeptical abt any nuclear threats reported in the media than anything else, and remember countries are comm state dept messages through media outlets a lot of the time.

I'm so.... exhausted, but goddamn it, I earned that exhaustion, fair and square.

Their obsession with returning to frontier-style governance is gonna go very badly for everyone and I'll take my catharsis where I can get it lmao

I obviously hope this is just the beginning to Hegseth and Trump’s brilliance haha

Diplomatic adherence to imperial powers is far more important to the leaders imo. Nothing in a self-interested state is absolute ofc but I won't believe shit about them doing the right thing till I see it actually physically happening. 😭

Yeah they absolutely won't. I would be astounded. Internal US congressional research reports has Jordan classified as a colonial state and thus aligned w US interests.

In issuing his threats to cancel the ceasefire and unleash hell on Gaza, Donald Trump did not acknowledge any of Israel's repeated violations of the ceasefire. Instead, he continued the Biden-Blinken practice of unilaterally blaming Hamas.

Hamas said that it has documented Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement and provided this to the mediators along with multiple demands for them to compel Israel to cease its violations of the terms of the ceasefire.

On Monday, Qassam Brigades announced it would postpone the next release of 3 Israeli captives in protest of Israeli violations. Hamas said it gave advance warning so that mediators could compel Israel to abide by the terms of the agreement in order return to the original schedule
