There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: There was no military sense in Kyiv strike, it added absolutely nothing to Russia militarily. This is deliberate terror, the same thing that the Russian army under Putin did everywhere: from Chechnya to Syria. This is the only thing that Putin and his Russia know how to do really well.

As Israel and Trump are talking about regime change: we know by now that no western puppet will be remotely acceptable in the region, and certainly not to the Persians who are a civilisation culture. Only someone acceptable to two of the three internal factions will do.
