It's 2031. The Strait of Hormuz is a gauntlet for passing LNG tankers. The US is engaged in yet another conflict in Afghanistan after the Newsom Administration invaded to intercept shipments of Chinese drone components to Iran.

We were taught that truth is the best weapon.
That if people have access to facts, they'll figure it out.

Spare a thought for Russians who moved to Dubai to escape our war with Ukraine & are now stuck in the war between our allies, Iran & USA.

The closer model is Israel’s “mowing the grass.” (1/n)

🔴 El poder de Nemesio Oseguera, El Mencho, líder del Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, abatido este domingo en Jalisco, deja a la deriva los negocios con algunas estructuras logísticas del narcotráfico en Colombia

The killing of the Jalisco New Generation cartel’s leader is likely to spark a wave violence.

Govenor of Jalisco:
In agreement with the Security Table, I want to announce the return to classes at all educational levels starting this Wednesday, February 25. Additionally, we have agreed with business organizations that economic activities will fully resume starting tomorrow.
La caída de El Mencho como líder del CJNG es importante, pero ni de lejos es el final de nada en México. Eliminar líderes de los grandes carteles no implica la desaparición de mercados, ni redes, ni incentivos económicos
Una victoria para Sheinbaum que abre más preguntas de las que cierra
Truly huge news on death of El Mencho.
-US intel key in locating Mencho
-Mexican forces had ruled shoot to kill
-US pressure to get Mencho before world cup games in Jalisco
-Unclear who replaces Mencho
- Cartel attacks across Mexico massive.

It's going to stay (more) violent for a while. Unfortunately, it's likely the Trump admin. will continue to pressure Mexico, which just means more violence.

MX Army killed El Mencho today. A win for Sheinbaum. USG is happy too. The Cartel was quick to react setting buses, trucks and businesses on fire, blockading streets and highways. Locals? Terrified. I’m in Guadalajara, a city that virtually emptied out. No public transport, people sheltered in place

Finally breaking my silence on this matter.
Ukrainian forces have launched counterattack operations in the Russian-occupied parts of the Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine and almost completely liberated that area from the Russian invasion forces.
It bears repeating that Trump’s “special envoy for peace missions” who is responsible for negotiating peace in Ukraine has not visited Ukraine.

More and more academics like @ruthdeyermond.bsky.social now come out and saying the same, load and clear:
#NATO does no longer exist. #US is Europe's adversary.

A crucial fact too few Europeans know:
Ukraine produces far more drones and inexpensive cruise missiles than the entire EU combined, yet it still doesn’t have enough.
What does it say about Europe’s capabilities?
We urgently need to step up
At the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fighters in Vilnius, paying tribute to those who refused to bow to oppression.
Today we honour their courage with more than memory. We honour it with action, by defending the freedom and democracy they gave their lives to protect.
