Given there’s no invocation of Article V; even if there was this isn’t self defense, it’s self inflicted; & NATO’s remit is Europe not the Middle East, he can bluster all he wants. Especially, as everyone already knows if a NATO member invoked Article V he’d ignore it.
Former NATO SG, now FinMin of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, stated that the attack on Iran was unlawful and that this is the position of Norway. He also commented on NATO as a whole and its survival of the Trump admin.
If you, a loved one or a friend were one of the CAF members serving and working within CENTCOM up to the and during the U.S. and Israel launching on Iran, or serving and working on on Ali Al-Salem Air Base - I want to hear your story. Your identity will be protected.

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there
I have some thoughts on #BillC22 related to #lawfulaccess. More to come ...
How different countries hype themselves up at the World Baseball Classic:
Team Canada: wear hockey jerseys
Team Italy: drink espresso
Team DR: dance
Team USA: invite Seal Team 6 member to make speech, the same Seal Team 6 member who also told young men on Twitter they would be his "concubines"
“woke zamboni” is, objectively speaking, the coolest possible vehicle
It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".
Mark my words--- Polymarket and other predictive market schemes have the potential to become a serious threat to press freedom/journalists.
Israel is planning to seize the entire area south of Lebanon's Litani River in a massive ground invasion, Israeli and U.S. officials say. -Axios
I think the one nice thing I could say about Cherry in the current moment is that he would have probably ripped the wexit people publicly.
If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.
Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

evil company run by evil people that should be burned out of the government immediately upon the next administration taking power
I really think you need to separate Muzzin from the rest. He was an actual good dman. His loss through injuries were legitimate losses to the team.
Hey, have you ever addressed working with Shopify? A company you should be ashamed of for maintaining a relationship that long?
Having to deal with structural issues favouring Republicans, a media sanewashing Trump, and the bullshit Musk got up to are probably equal factors. So willingly choosing to give up on a group of voters seems dumb.
And lets not forget that Republican voters have agency.
Come on. As an outsider it seems pretty reasonable to say that campaigning with a fucking Cheney and refusing to distance the campaign from the war in Gaza would suppress enthusiasm in their voter base.
This is an interesting way to say "they gang-raped female prisoner on video and the Israeli government thinks that's ok."
Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense 🤦🏽♀️
The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.
That's how you end up as the spoiled team.
Mike Johnson says Cuba is collapsing “organically” because they’re socialist. If that’s true, why was it necessary to strangle their economy w/six decades of crippling embargoes and more recently a blockade of vital oil? If he’s so confident, why not let Cuban socialism fail without US intervention?
Part of a huge conversation we need to have. Why are corporations allowed more rights to their image than we are to our own? Women trying to get nudes - real or doctored - removed online is onerous or impossible. But Mickey Mouse?
Six years ago today. The day the entire world started shutting down due to COVID. One of the most stunning days of our lives
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
