This is outright psychotic. Pleading with Israeli voters to elect his party because the country whose nuclear program President Trump claims we “obliterated“ in 2025, and have been at war with for seven months, devastating their economy and military platforms — this is who you are terrified of?
As a reminder, Israel has at least 200 nuclear weapons. And you’re telling me they live in *existential fear* of the theoretical possibility that Tehran may, someday, possibly get a nuclear weapon, even though they haven’t done it in 47 years?
This is someone who lusts after war, and cannot live without the thought of killing peoples from other lands.
I’m sorry if that makes anyone mad or wounds your sensibilities, but the facts are screaming in your face that what I wrote is true. It is therefore a danger to our country to be linked to this war-luster.
תקראו את הדברים החשובים של יובל בלומברג:
מדינת ישראל נמצאת בסכנה קיומית אמיתית ומוחשית. אם האיראנים ישיגו גרעין, שום דבר כבר לא ישנה יותר. הכל כל כך טפל אל מול הסכנה הקיומית של איראן והציר השיעי.
הסערות המבוימות והמומצאות חדשות לבקרים נועדו להסיט את תשומת הלב מהדבר האחד שהוא החשוב ביותר: סיום העבודה באיראן.
זה נוגע בקיום הפיזי של כל אדם ואדם כאן.
יש לנו עוד שנתיים של טראמפ לסיים את העבודה באיראן, ואין לדעת מה יהיה לאחר מכן, אם זו תהיה קמאלה האריס, או תואם מאמדני כלשהו.
זה חלון הזמן שנותר לנו כדי להשלים את העבודה הנדרשת כדי להבטיח את הקיום הפיזי שלנו לשנים הבאות. כל משאבי המדינה הנדרשים, צריכים להיות מושקעים במשימה הזו.
קטאר, חרדים, אוריך, גיוס, התראות.
הכל מסך עשן ענקי כדי להסתיר את הנושא היחיד שניצב מעל כולם בפער.
אם יפלו במרכז הארץ שתי פצצות אטום, את מי יעניינו כל סערות הסרק האלה?
הדורות הבאים לא יסלחו לנו אם נפספס את חלון ההזדמנויות ההיסטורי שמאפשר לנו לנסות ולהשלים את המשימה הקריטית ביותר שעומדת בפני הדור שלנו.
זה לא יקרה עם ראש ממשלה שמוחזק בצווארו על ידי האחים המוסלמים וסייעני הטרור.
זה לא יקרה עם ראש ממשלה שלא מסוגל להרים את הטלפון ולנהל שיחה אינטימית רציפה עם טראמפ.
זה לא יקרה עם ראש ממשלה שלא מסוגל לעמוד בלחץ של ראיון טלויזיה.
השינאה לנתניהו, ככל שהיא עולם ומלואו עבור מחנה שלם, לא תעזור מול הגרעין האיראני.
כל אחד שדואג לקיום הפיזי שלו, של משפחתו, ושל אהוביו, ידו צריכה לרעוד לפני שהוא בוחר במישהו שלא יהיה מסוגל להשלים את המשימה, ובכך לדון את עצמו ואת משפחתו לסכנה של שואה שניה, בגלל השינאה הפוליטית שלו או בגלל סערת דמה מטופשת וחסרת חשיבות.
The harsh reality is that it doesn’t matter how many sanctions are or are not on Russia: Ukraine already doesn’t have anything to bring to the table for negotiations.
Russia will either obtain its requirements via an ugly negotiation where Ukraine has to surrender territory and adopt neutrality, or Russia will simply continue the war until it has achieved its desires on the battlefield — which I promise you will be much worse for Kyiv than even the ugliest of a diplomatic end entered into willingly.
I would not want us to approach a meeting of the three leaders – Ukraine, the United States, and Russia – having lifted all sanctions on the Russian Federation. This is an important point. Sanctions were imposed for aggression, not for an opportunity to have a chat. So if we say that this is the end of the war, there is a certain order for lifting sanctions. I told the American delegation this because I have had this feeling for quite a long time: when we talk about Russia’s loyalty, we should not buy it at such a price. Because without sanctions, we could find ourselves in a trilateral dialogue where we still do not know what will happen next, but the sanctions have already been lifted. And who will have the strength we had at the beginning of the war to impose all those sanctions again? To bring people together in such a way that we could secure more than 20 sanctions packages around the world. That is why I am very cautious about this.
I do not want us to find ourselves at a meeting with Putin without tools – without sanctions, without money, or without frozen assets. Because then, as Mr. Trump said, we really would not have too many cards in our deck.
From an interview with Alla Mazur for TSN Week on 1+1, as part of the United News telethon. (3/5)
This goes way beyond general national defense preparedness. This has the earmarks of something urgent and much, much larger scale than anything previously contemplated.
Preparations of this nature and magnitude would only be envisioned for an attack on America from a major global power as part of a world war.
Given the urgency with which Pentagon officials are announcing this initiative, I’m worried that they know something is coming and they’re not telling us…
This revelation @IuliiaMendel here exposes, demonstrates the near criminal negligence of Zelensky, then-President Biden, and then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Had they just allowed the diplomatic process to reach its logical conclusion, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives would have been preserve, the political future of Ukraine would have been guaranteed, and the safety and security of Europe would have been assured.
Instead, all those men conspired together to plunge Ukraine deeper into war, more destruction on country, a greater death toll and leaving us all with a specter that this war could still expand into a Russia NATO conflict (that ultimately could go nuclear).
History will condemn these gentlemen.
Again, I will point out what should by now be obvious: there was no nuclear weapons program in 2018, in 2024, in 2025, or 2026. President Trump did not stop this non-existent program with either the 2025 or 2026 wars, and now a strong argument can be made that he is *shoving* Iran into a position where it may actually develop nuclear weapons.
If that happens, it will exclusively be because of the absurd and irrational actions of President Trump, from 2018 to the present day.
It continues to grieve me how disconnected from military reality the Ukrainian president, and all his western supporters remain: it doesn’t matter if they have Starlink fully operational or not at all.
They will lose the war, because they have effectively no air defense, insufficient men to staff the front lines, insufficient industrial capacity, and insufficient money.
That dooms them to losing a war of attrition, because Russia has more than enough of every category.
To continue ignore that, is to willfully condemn hundreds of thousands more Ukrainian men to unnecessary deaths.
That will be the legacy of this president as well as all the other leaders of the West who have equally backed a suicidal policy for Ukraine.
The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.
Sure, Iran wants to make a deal. They just require you to fulfill seven major obligations first. Otherwise, they don’t wanna have anything to do with President Trump.
And if making a deal by Sunday night is the standard or an attack will come, then he’s condemned us all to return to war.
President Trump doesn’t even hide it: brags about making money off the Iran war, and brags about stealing the oil from Venezuela.
This is a shame and a disgrace for our country, and makes us look like one of the worst bullies in the world, because our great power is disconnected from morality. It’s just used for what President Trump can exploit from other people. It’s just about extracting the maximum amount of money for him, and lives don’t matter. Regular Americans don’t matter. Only the super elite getting more wealthy matters.
You hear it from his own mouth here.
⚠️ Is the prospect of war with Iran being driven by security concerns... or by election politics?
Alastair Crooke says prominent Israeli military and intelligence figures are warning against military action before upcoming elections, arguing there is "no evidence, none at all" to justify an attack on Iran.
He also argues that Tehran is largely indifferent to U.S. political outcomes because it sees itself engaged in a long-term geopolitical struggle that extends far beyond any single election cycle.

⚠️Alastair Crooke: The West Isn't Ready for What Comes After Iran War
What happens if a conflict with Iran ends not with a Western victory, but with Iran in a stronger position than before — an outcome all but certain at this point.
In this clip, former British diplomat Alastair Crooke argues that the real issue is bigger than Iran. He warns that the West is already in a period of decline, and a loss to Iran could signal end of the era of unquestioned dominance by the West. Today’s elite leader class across the Western world are unprepared for the transition to a multipolar world.
"The West, including the United States, is in a period of severe decline."

⚠️ No Ceasefire, No Pause: Russia Says the War Will Continue -- Until Ukraine Agrees to Russian Terms or Russia Achieves a Military Victory
In this clip from Daniel Davis Deep Dive, Russia's OSCE Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy says Russia remains open to negotiations but argues that Europe and Ukraine's current approach is centered on "the defeat of Russia, pressure on Russia, sanctions against Russia" in an attempt to force Moscow to bend to the West's preferred terms.
His warning is stark: if Moscow's security concerns are not addressed, continued military operations may be "the only option." He also explains why Russia rejects a ceasefire, arguing it would simply give Kyiv time to regroup rather than lead to a lasting settlement.
"We are ready for a dialogue, but I think we are the only ones ready for a dialogue and for diplomacy." You can hate Russia, but the harsh fact is that they have the military, industrial, and economic advantages to demand terms, and our side does not. To continue ignoring that painful reality will only condemn more Ukrainian men to death - but it will not change the outcome.

Frances has it right: the world needs an *effective* United Nations, but right now it rarely produces anything of value — and is in desperate need of reform.
Key problem: it was born in 1945 w commendable objectives. But it’s not 1945 anymore. It’s key structures have not changed much since then, but it’s been covered over with buckets full of bureaucracy, to the extent it barely serves any positive purpose.
In my view, either the nations of the world cooperate in serious diplomacy to reform the UN, or it will go the way of the League of Nations – making the world a lot more violent and wars more likely.

⚠️ Is the Ukraine war really about territory... or something deeper?
In this exclusive interview, Dmitry Polyanskiy argues that Moscow's core concern has never been land, but the rights, identity, and security of Russian-speaking populations.
Ambassador Polyanskiy says buffer zones and territorial questions can be negotiated, but "people are not negotiable. Human rights are not negotiable. Dignity is not negotiable."
Whether you agree or disagree, understanding Russia's stated position is essential to understanding where any future peace talks may lead.

⚠️ Are today's crises being contained... or merged into something far more dangerous?
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson warns that conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East are increasingly converging into a global "arc of crisis," with the potential to turn regional wars into broader international confrontations.
Rather than reducing tensions, he argues that current U.S. policies are linking once-separate crises together, creating new flashpoints across Europe, the Arctic, and the Middle East. The result, he says, is a world moving toward deeper instability and a much greater risk of escalation.
"We're going to regionalize, and then we're going to globalize these conflicts, and we're already globalizing."

🚨 Will a War With Iran Trigger a New Great Depression?
Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) warns that if the U.S. and Israel launch a major attack on Iran, the resulting Iranian response could send the global economy into "a great depression worse than the 1930s."
Marandi rejects claims that Iran would launch a nuclear attack on U.S. cities as "crazy talk," recalls surviving chemical attacks during the Iran-Iraq War, and questions why intelligence assessments that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon have been ignored.

🚨 What if the biggest assumption behind an Iran war is completely wrong?
In this clip from Daniel Davis Deep Dive, Professor Richard Sakwa argues that military force against Iran cannot achieve the political goals many leaders claim it will. Drawing on the example of Serbia in 1999, he notes that even a campaign often described as a success ultimately depended on diplomacy and concludes that a similar strategy against Iran "won't work."
Sakwa warns that efforts to destroy the Iranian state would be "madness," potentially triggering a "massive outflow of refugees and huge economic disruption" across the region.
Is the push for escalation ignoring the very consequences it could unleash?

🚨 The Real Risk of War With Iran Isn't What Most People Think
Most discussions about a war with Iran focus on missiles and airstrikes. Col. Doug Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) warns the real danger may come afterward.
He argues Tehran has exercised restraint so far, but says Iranian leaders have made clear that if a larger conflict erupts, "there will be no such restraint" and that key Gulf infrastructure could become targets. "Everything Is on the Table for Destruction"
Macgregor warns that strikes against energy and desalination facilities from the UAE to Kuwait could leave "the world's energy supply structure and development infrastructure" devastated, with recovery taking years rather than months.
Could the next phase of this conflict transform the strategic and economic future of the entire Gulf?

⚠️ Could failure on the battlefield lead to nuclear escalation?
Col. Doug Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) warns that some leaders believe overwhelming military superiority can force Iran into submission but says that confidence is rooted in the same assumptions that helped create the current crisis.
His chilling conclusion: if conventional means fail, decision-makers may eventually decide that only one option remains.
"We'll come up against the reality that we cannot achieve our aims with conventional means... and at that point, we'll turn to the use of a nuclear weapon."

⚠️ Doug Macgregor: Has Washington Already Lost the Wars in Both Ukraine and Iran?
In this explosive exchange, Col. Doug Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) argues that efforts to weaken Russia have backfired, attempts to build an anti-China coalition are stalling, and pressure is mounting on Washington to avoid defeat in the Middle East at any cost — but it’s already too late to avoid an ultimate defeat in the Iran war also, which we baked in by starting it on 28 February.
Macgregor warns that crossing the nuclear threshold in Iran — which mini are speculating is under active consideration in both Washington and Tel Aviv — could unleash consequences no one can predict:
"We don't know what others will do…Russia is stronger than ever."
If he's right, the risks extend far beyond Iran, potentially reshaping the global balance of power and ending a nuclear taboo that has held since 1945. Watch this clip and decide for yourself.

No acknowledgment, at all, that Saudi Arabia sparked this current round of war by attacking the Sanaa airport in August.
Apparently Mr. Streeting believes the only acceptable response by Ansar Allah is to allow Saudi to bomb them at will and silently take no action.
And what, may I ask the minister, is the British objective here? What is the attainable military outcome they seek? How long will the mission last, what does success look like, how much will it cost?
Nah, just kidding, I know that kind of thinking doesn’t exist anymore in senior military ranks of Western Europe and the United States.
