بص يا صديقي لو مش متابع اللي بيحصل في العالم في آخر 24 ساعة فاتك كتير أوي .
حرفيا 4 ضربات ورا بعض لأمريكا وإسرائيل في نفس اليوم، والنتيجة ممكن تغير خريطة السياسة كلها!
تعالى ناخدها بالعكس، من التقيلة للأخف 👇
1- من كام ساعة بس 3 طيارات عسكرية سعودية وتركية وباكستانية نزلت في مطار مهرآباد في طهران. اللي قاعدين دلوقتي على ترابيزة واحدة: وزير الدفاع السعودي الأمير خالد بن سلمان، وقائد الجيش الباكستاني عاصم منير، ورئيس المخابرات التركية إبراهيم قالن، مع الرئيس الإيراني مسعود بزشكيان وأمين الأمن القومي محسن رضائي.
الاجتماع تحت اسم "اتفاقية مكة للدفاع المشترك" وإيران بتقول عايزين نعمل منظومة أمن إقليمي داخلية من غير تدخل أجنبي، والسعودية بتقول هدفنا تهدئة وخفض تصعيد. يعني اللي كان مستحيل من سنة بقى بيحصل دلوقتي قدام عنينا.
2 - تمرد داخل جيش الاحتلال نفسه
القناة 12 الإسرائيلية نفسها وبموافقة الرقابة العسكرية قالت قنبلة، قبل انتخابات الكنيست بـ 24 ساعة بس. رئيس الأركان إيال زامير جاله أمر مباشر من نتنياهو ينفذ ضربة كبيرة كانت هتولع مواجهة شاملة مع إيران ودولة عربية تانية.
اللي حصل إن زامير رفض! وقاله بالنص مش هورط الجيش في حرب عشان تكسب انتخابات أو تهرب من المحاكمات، ولو عايز الضربة دي هاتلي تفويض مكتوب وموقع من الحكومة كلها تتحمل المسئولية.
في إسرائيل دي مش خناقة عادية، ده زلزال. الجيش هو مصدر الشرعية هناك، ولما رئيس الأركان يطلع يتهم رئيس الوزرا انه بيستغل الدم لمصلحته الشخصية، فدي ضربة سياسية قاتلة لنتنياهو قبل الصناديق ما تفتح بساعات.
3 - صربيا.. الطلبة أسقطوا أهم حليف لنتنياهو في أوروبا
القصة بدأت من سنتين بعد انهيار سقف محطة قطر في مدينة نوفي ساد ومات 16 واحد بسبب الفساد. شوية طلبة وشباب نزلوا الشارع وعملوا حاجة اسمها "قائمة الطلاب"، مفيهاش سياسيين محترفين، كلها دكاترة جامعة وممثلين ومزارعين، لفوا صربيا كلها على رجلهم وبالعجل.
امبارح بالليل ألكسندر فوتشيتش اللي حاكم صربيا من 12 سنة بيد من حديد طلع بعد قفل الصناديق بساعة ونص وقال: "من الواضح أننا خسرنا هذه الانتخابات". الطلبة جابوا أكتر من 135 مقعد من 250!
ليه دي ضربة لإسرائيل؟
لأن فوتشيتش ده كان من أكبر الداعمين لنتنياهو في أوروبا، ولسه في أبريل اللي فات كان عامل مشروع مشترك مع إسرائيل لتصنيع درونز عسكرية، ده غير مشاريعه مع ترامب. كله طار في ليلة واحدة.
1- البرازيل .. الجون اللي جه في الدقيقة 90
نيجي بقى للضربة الأكبر، في البرازيل أكبر دولة في أمريكا اللاتينية.
من 2023 أمريكا وإسرائيل شغالين على خطة لتغيير وش القارة كلها ودعم صعود اليمين المتطرف عشان يبقوا حلفاء لهم، والعين كانت على البرازيل.
السباق كان بين اتنين: لولا دا سيلفا 80 سنة، اللي بيسموه بطل الفقراء، اللي بدأ حياته مساح جزم وعامل مصنع واتسجن واتبهدل لحد ما بقى رئيس، ومعروف بعدائه الشديد للصهيونية وترامب ولبس الكوفية وقال على اللي بيحصل في غزة إبادة جماعية وسحب سفيره.
وقدامه فلافيو بولسونارو ابن الرئيس السابق وأكبر حليف لترامب وإسرائيل هناك، واللي كسب أول جولة في أكتوبر اللي فات 47% مقابل 45% للولا، وكل الناس قالت خلاص لولا انتهى.
ده غير إن إدارة ترامب كانت بتضغط اقتصاديا وتهدد بعقوبات لو لولا كسب، وميتا نفسها قللت وصول بوستاته لدرجة المحكمة العليا اتدخلت، وحتى في آخر ساعات الانتخابات عطلوا المواصلات العامة عشان الناس البسيطة متعرفش تنزل تصوت!
اللي حصل كان معجزة بكل المقاييس. الناس نزلت تمشي على رجلها عشان تصوت. ولأول مرة في تاريخ البرازيل الحديث، اللي يخسر أول جولة يكسب الإعادة. لولا كسب 51.8% بفارق أكتر من 4 مليون صوت ورجع في ولاية رابعة.
يعني في 24 ساعة بس: البرازيل قلبت على ترامب، صربيا وقعت حليف نتنياهو، جيش الاحتلال اتمرد على نتنياهو، وإيران قاعدة مع السعودية وتركيا وباكستان على ترابيزة واحدة!
اللي جاي شكله مختلف تماما، وربنا يجعلها بداية نهاية الغطرسة !

Mii de mulțumiri, cum se spune, lui Elon Musk pentru sateliții noștri europeni!
Fără glumă, dacă el și Donald Trump nu ar fi niște idioți, jumătate din lume ar fi încă blocată pe Starlink (și o altă parte pe Guowang-ul chinezesc).
Dar nu, Elon și Donnie au vrut să ne arate cine deține butonul roșu pentru internetul prin satelit. Ei bine, au reușit. Acum toată lumea l-a văzut.
Un scurt rezumat a ceea ce a urmat după.
Canada:
Guvernul a semnat un contract de 2,3 miliarde de dolari canadieni cu operatorul național de sateliți Telesat pentru a extinde constelația de sateliți Lightspeed pe orbită terestră joasă.
Lightspeed a fost dezvoltat inițial ca un concurent comercial pentru Starlink și OneWeb. Cu toate acestea, guvernul finanțează acum integrarea unui sistem special de comunicații militare în bandă Ka, securizat, și a plasat deja o comandă de sateliți suplimentari de la compania aerospațială canadiană MDA Space.
Finlanda:
Compania finlandeză ICEYE, dezvoltator de sateliți radar SAR, și Nokia au anunțat un parteneriat strategic pentru dezvoltarea unor sisteme de comunicații LEO în bandă largă suverane pentru guvernele interesate ale Europei.
Proiectul își propune să ofere statelor europene o platformă la cheie care permite fiecărui guvern să dețină și să controleze pe deplin propriul segment de comunicații prin satelit, inclusiv criptarea, fără a se baza pe furnizori străini.
Acest concept este cunoscut sub numele de „Sovereign SatCom”.
Uniunea Europeană:
Comisia Europeană a trecut la acordarea de contracte de producție și la extinderea finanțării pentru rețeaua sa suverană de comunicații prin satelit, IRIS².
Airbus Defence and Space a semnat deja contracte la Toulouse pentru producția primilor 66 de sateliți LEO. Thales Alenia Space a fost însărcinată să dezvolte echipamente utile speciale și sigure pentru aplicații guvernamentale.
Programul a fost extins la 348 de sateliți și finanțat cu încă patru miliarde de euro.
Țări asiatice.
Coreea de Sud:
Coreea de Sud a efectuat prima sa lansare orbitală de succes a anului cu propriul vehicul de lansare Nuri (KSLV-II) de la portul spațial Naro.
Racheta a lansat simultan pe orbită 14 sarcini utile, inclusiv sateliți suplimentari pentru constelația națională NEONSAT și mai mulți CubeSats militari.
Japonia:
Japonia a alocat aproximativ un miliard de dolari americani în subvenții pentru dezvoltarea unei rețele de sateliți direct-to-device, complet controlată la nivel național.
Acest sistem este destinat să permită smartphone-urilor obișnuite să comunice direct cu sateliții în timpul cutremurelor severe sau al conflictelor militare.
Proiectul este o colaborare între Rakuten și AST SpaceMobile.
Înapoi în Europa.
Ucraina:
Proiectul UASAT, o inițiativă a STETMAN și a unui consorțiu de parteneri, a finalizat cu succes înregistrarea la Uniunea Internațională a Telecomunicațiilor (UIT).
În prezent, se pregătește satelitul de testare UASAT-NANO, care va reprezenta primul pas către stabilirea unei constelații de sateliți suverani ucraineni.
În același timp, se finalizează acorduri cu Republica Cehă pentru dezvoltarea în comun a constelației de sateliți de recunoaștere optică Suziria („Constelația”).
Mai mult, se așteaptă ca Ucraina să obțină acces la capacitatea de rezervă a sistemului european GOVSATCOM.
Germania:
Am lăsat la urmă compania germană Isar Aerospace, care a lansat pe orbită racheta sa Spectrum cu sateliți pe 5 septembrie.
Deci, cum spuneam, ce s-ar face explorarea spațială europeană (și nu doar explorarea spațială europeană) fără mintea strălucită a lui Elon Musk?
Probabil nimic.
Și, dintr-o dată, ea a decolat cu adevărat.
Prin urmare, să-i mulțumim cum se cuvine lui Elon pentru sateliții noștri europeni.
Fără contribuția sa decisivă, s-ar fi putut să nu-i avem niciodată.

The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.
Though the blame game between the White House (Trump) and SpaceX (Musk) is going on, ultimately it doesn't matter. It showed the world that the USA are not a reliable partner any more. Pointing at some obscure "violation of terms of services" without providing the exact passage are just increasing that notion that this was a political move.
The explanation that Starlink must not be used for "offensive" means is nonsense, too. Starlink has never been turned on over Russia, and using it in Ukraine is by definition defensive in nature. You can even argue that hitting Russian targets in Russia is defensive, since you don't have to wait for an attack to be conducted. Even the intention is enough to warrant action and to eliminate the threat at the source. But this is a different topic.
Furthermore, SpaceX has been fully aware that its Starlink terminals are being used by Ukrainian forces. Especially when considering that Ukraine only recently had to white-list their Starlink terminals for the Ukrainian military so that Russian forces, who have been abundantly using Starlink as well, were locked out. It has always been clear that those Starlink terminals are used for and by the Ukrainian military, and Ukraine has always been thankful for that.
Coming up with this bogus story, now, three weeks before midterms is therefore as transparent as it is shameless. It is obvious for everyone that this was just figleaf statement so that a political agenda can be pushed, an agenda which runs counter to the strategic nationalist interests of the USA, both political and economic.
And this is the real scandal. It is not new that the US had to lock out its technology or supplies to nations with which it had previously good and even cordial relation. Iran under the Shah, South-Vietnam and Cuba before Castro are just three to name it. But as you can see from them, it made perfectly sense back then. Those nations switched sides or disappeared altogether.
Ukraine on the other hand didn't switch sides and even helped the US in the most recent and botched Iran war, despite being short on ammunition itself. The Ukrainian government accepted every possible compromise and offered an unconditional ceasefire from the start. Russia on the hand refused all of it and is demanding surrender. Yet, it gets this treatment? Unbelievable.
This will be noted by all clients around the globe who purchase US weapons and technology. If agreements are not honored and can unilaterally and even clandestinely be altered based on the whims of a few, who only follow their own motives or election lies, then the all concept reliability falls apart.
Whether it is Starlink, the F-35, Tomahawk missiles or HIMARS. All those systems run on software and in many cases can only properly operate with recent updates. You don't even need have a kill switch. You can only refuse to update and many of those systems lose more than 90% of their effectiveness within a short period, making worthless.
This is why we see the blame game between Musk and Trump. I'm sure that people around those guys told them how absolutely shortsighted and stupid this step was. It will fall back on the entire US industry. Not even those two guys are worth that losses and backlash. A functional US Congress would immediately start subpoenas and hearings, asking questions in order to mitigate the damage, but here we are.
Trump and Musk have given the best reason why not to buy American. Customers - governmental and private alike - around the globe will take note of this and act accordingly, and I wouldn't be surprised if this won't be limited to US military products only. An absolutely senseless and avoidable own goal.

“On Feb. 5, 2025, her first day in office, Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, dismantled the department’s unit pursuing Russian oligarchs’ assets, and narrowed enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. CISA paused its election security work, abandoned the information sharing center that connected it to state and local election officials, and by mid-2025 had lost more than a third of its workforce. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard gutted the Foreign Malign Influence Center, the State Department closed its office for countering foreign disinformation, and National Security Council working groups on Russian sabotage and disinformation stopped meeting.
The next target was the people. In August 2025, Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former officials, among them a senior Russia analyst who helped produce the 2017 assessment, citing the “politicization or weaponization of intelligence.” Comey was indicted on Sept. 25, 2025, over his 2020 Senate testimony, five days after Trump publicly demanded his prosecution. A judge dismissed the case, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is currently hearing the department’s appeal. CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred former Director Brennan for prosecution for alleged perjury in his congressional testimony, and Brennan has been subpoenaed to appear at a Florida grand jury examining whether officials who investigated Trump conspired against him.
The purge also reached below the senior level, and analysts who worked on the 2017 assessment also had their clearances stripped. The FBI forced out a veteran counterintelligence agent over his ties to an official in the original Russia investigation, and dozens of FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors were fired or demoted for work investigating Trump or Russia.”

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his.

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.
Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course
Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal.
Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.
But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland!
The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city.
Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.

The Man Who Went Bust Running a Casino Is Now Running the House
On Friday, Donald Trump told the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates or he would simply stop trading with every country America runs a deficit with, which is most of the planet. That is not trade policy, that is a man threatening to hold his breath until the economy turns blue. So I decided to go back and read up on the one business where the odds are literally rigged in the owner's favour, and I ended up sitting there muttering that this was completely mad.
In 1990 he opened the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, called it the eighth wonder of the world, and paid for it with 675 million dollars of junk bonds at 14 percent interest. It was bankrupt within a year. He had built it a mile from his own Trump Plaza and Trump Castle, so the new casino ate the old ones, whose takings dropped by 58 million dollars, and both followed him into Chapter 11 in 1992. The parent company went bust in 2004, again in 2009 and again in 2014, six casino bankruptcies in all. New Jersey regulators had warned back in 1990 that a complete collapse of the Trump Organization was not out of the question. His response, eventually, was to sue the surviving casinos for still carrying his name.
Then I went further back. His Wharton marketing professor, William T. Kelley, told a close friend repeatedly over thirty years that Trump was the dumbest student he ever had, a man who arrived convinced he already knew everything. Classmates remembered someone who could not be bothered to prepare.
There is a word for what happens when people like this end up in charge, and it is being used more and more openly now. The word is kakistocracy, from the Greek kakistos, meaning the worst, and it describes a state governed by its least qualified and least scrupulous citizens. It is not a system anyone designs. It is what you get when loyalty outranks competence, when the man at the top rewards flattery and punishes expertise, and when the people who actually know how a central bank or a supply chain works are shown the door. Look at the cabinet, look at who was fired for telling the truth, and then tell me the word is unfair.
And there is the red thread. Borrow at ruinous rates, build something that undermines what you already own, blame everyone else and announce that the future looks very good. In Atlantic City the bondholders paid. Now the trade deficit has jumped 24 percent in a month and his answer is an embargo on America's own customers. He is not running a country. He is running the Taj Mahal, and this time we are the bondholders.

NOAA launches the weather balloons, floats the ocean buoys, flies the satellites, and staffs the forecasters that tell us when storms are coming. That data supports about two-thirds of the economy, roughly $1.3 trillion a year, and it paid us back $73 for every dollar we spent on it.
DOGE took a chainsaw to it anyway.
They cut 2,500 people.
They pushed out 27,000 years of experience in just a few months.
Now a charter fishing captain in Homer, Alaska has spent half a season with no idea what the wind is doing in waters he fishes every day. Kansas got hit by two tornadoes nobody saw coming. Forecasters missed how strong a typhoon was as it headed for Alaska. Farmers, insurers, airlines, and city engineers are all working with worse information than they had two years ago.
And now the Trump administration plan is to cut even deeper.
They want to pull another $1.6 billion out of NOAA next year. They want to hand the rest to private companies, so your town ends up paying a business for weather data your taxes already paid for, with no promise it will even be right.
Wrecking a 73-to-1 investment and sending the bill to fishermen, farmers, and families. Just crazy.

Trump said South Korea essentially wasn’t paying for the US military presence before he became president. It was paying more than $800M per year in Obama’s second term and had been participating in cost-sharing deals since 1991.
Trump said he got South Korea to pay $3B a year (it was actually less than $1B even after the 8.2% increase Trump secured for 2019) with increases in the two subsequent years (Trump only got the 1-year deal for 2019, not further increases).
Trump said that after the 2020 election was rigged (it wasn’t) Biden agreed to rescind his “$3 billion” deal and let South Korea not pay. There was no Trump deal in place in 2021 for Biden to even possibly rescind…and, in reality, Biden got two deals with South Korean spending increases, a 13.9%+ hike in the 2021 deal and a 8.3%+ hike in the 2024 deal.

The midterm elections boil down to one simple fact: Republicans have had full control of the federal government for the past 19 months.
Unless you are wealthy or a corporation, you were taxed more, not less, because you paid the tariffs.
An illegal war was started in Iran that continues six months later despite being sold as a short four week excursion.
Gas is over $4 a gallon. Groceries are expensive.
Paychecks are shrinking because wage gains are the lowest in five years and inflation is high due to the war and tariffs.
Jobs are disappearing. Millions are losing their health insurance. The national debt is soaring.
Meanwhile, the top 1% now holds as much wealth as the bottom 90% and the president has enriched himself with billions while in The White House.
Voting for Republicans in November means voting for two more years of a weak economy that's making your life harder, while the corrupt and greedy few get even richer.
