I notice a lot of cognitive dissonance about Iranian strikes among people who live in Dubai or have supported Iran and/or Russia

Up to 88,000 people, mostly civilians, died in Mariupol in just three months in 2022, and Russia targets Ukrainian civilians every single night.

Sit this one out

There’s nothing good or admirable about being bombed, but it’s pathetic to pretend it’s normal while trying to market your city as safe.

Not surprising, considering some of the worst people in the world live in Dubai

Europeans who fled to Dubai to avoid taxes, trashing Europe while praising Dubai, are now paying the price.

They are hiding in basements, begging Europe for help, alongside influencers posting UAE‑funded propaganda that claims everything is fine while they wait to be evacuated

These Epstein emails help explain why Trump is so hard on Iran but so soft on Russia.

The emails suggest that Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump.

Trump is compromised by Russia.

Too few people are aware that these emails exist:

How could Erik Prince be naive enough to be surprised that Trump struck Iran again? Does he understand anything about geopolitics?

Musk is, of course, joining the pro-UAE, anti-EU propaganda.

It’s ironic that he praises a dictatorship with no freedom of speech, which is under bombardment, as being better and safer than Europe

Charlie Kirk would have supported regime change in Iran today because MAGA is a cult and he was a coward

This pathetic traitor should apply the same logic on Cyprus as he applies on Ukraine:

”Give up territory and push for peace to avoid more war. Cyprus is too corrupt to be helped out. Why do they hate iran?”

It’s not an easy situation for Vance, who is once again changing his ideology and betraying those who support him.

He is a pathological liar and an opportunist

Iran’s regime poses a serious threat to both the West and the Middle East.

It’s unfortunate that someone as insane and compromised as Trump is the one handling the situation, as everything he touches turns to shit.

Venezuela 2.0 is a horrible plan for Iran and its people

The UAE’s social media campaign to make it look like everything is OK by having sexual offenders and Russian propagandist influencers post that they don’t care if they are being bombed is absolutely pathetic and as inhumane as you would expect from the UAE

Despite all the talk, Donald Trump doesn’t have the attention span for long operations and will do anything he can to keep this short.

He will try a Venezuela scenario and only make it long if that fails.

He wants Cuba next

If you want to see what Russian and Chinese loyalty actually looks like when shit hits the fan, just look at their allies.

Assad was abandoned, Maduro was left to fend for himself, and Khamenei is getting destroyed while Moscow and Beijing do absolutely nothing to help

Netanyahu wants a weak Iran, but never forget that his entire political survival relies on having a boogeyman. He needs the chaos.

He would probably much rather keep a crippled enemy regime in power than see an actual regime change that allows Iran to finally thrive

It’s absolutely pathetic to see tax evaders, scammers, Russian propagandists, and meninist influencers, often the same people, defending Dubai right now.

They have been overselling it for years, and now that it’s been bombed, they are pretending it’s no big deal

Surprise:

Vance’s and Musk’s favorite party goes against Trump on Iran

This is a major opportunity for Ukraine to help Middle Eastern countries defend themselves against shahed drones and build new partnerships that could benefit them in the future

Some Trump supporters who argued that the United States should not help Ukraine because it needs to prioritize Americans appear to support a new war in the Middle East. Many hypocrites out there

Surprise, surprise.

A Russian tech oligarch who criticizes Europe over freedom of speech is now praising the UAE, a dictatorship without freedom of speech.

Hypocrisy at its finest

What an absolute trash, Andrew-Tate-level take by this pathetic idiot.

How can you joke about strikes that kill people? Why does he go to Europe then?

Europe is safe, and what he doesn’t say is that Europe is much safer than Russia and the US

The biggest lesson for dictators right now is that when shit hits the fan, Russia and China will not save you.

They let Assad fall. They left Maduro completely exposed. They watched Khamenei get blown up.

Being an ally to Moscow or Beijing is a fatal liability
