Different beards, different attire… same chessboard of geopolitics.

Superpowers never end the game they just change the players. #Geopolitics

Yesterday’s boogeyman was Islamic terrorists. Today’s the ‘radical left.’

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.

People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.

And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Why is the entire collective West backing Israel? Gaza’s destruction is not just about war it’s a pillar of U.S. imperial strategy. A free Middle East would challenge US 🇺🇸 hegemony, threatening the U.S. empire’s control over global energy & trade.

Elon Musk, who supports the GOP and

* Donald Trump, found liable for sexual abuse
* Matt Gaetz, investigated for sex trafficking
* Peter Hegseth, accused of rape

… is going to save the UK from rapists, apparently. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The heights of Western wisdom & policy makers.

Who would have guessed that in places like Afghanistan & Syria, the shortcut to becoming a top dog is a crash course in extremism? It’s the new How to win friends & influence ppl.

Whenever a regime is toppled with foreign support, it often leads to chaos and misery. While the oppressed citizens want peace, the foreign backers thrive on instability two opposing goals that ensure continued suffering. ⁦‪#Syria‬⁩ ⁧‫#بشار_الأسد‬⁩ ⁦‪#Peace‬⁩ 🇸🇾

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored

The method by which Israel has been conducting its massacres, strongly suggests that it acts as a PROXY for the 🇺🇸.

The U.S. appears to be informed about every bullet fired and every bomb dropped in Palestine and Lebanon. #israal #Proxy #US #Gaza
