We needed this war with Iran like a hole in the head. Strategically exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.
I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. Lego F-35s burning over plastic deserts. Anons explaining escalation dominance to anime avatars. All those carefully cultivated narratives, lost in the algorithm, like tears in the rain.

The wise Greeks, under the laws of Solon, clued us in to the inherent unfairness of "an eye for an eye" by reminding us to take account of the marginal utility of eyes.
"According to two sources with knowledge of the covert arrangement, the UAE’s assistance has also included direct sharing of intelligence by the UAE itself to Ansarallah for the purpose of targeting Saudi-backed forces."
🚨Big scoop here with Iona Craig at @DropSiteNews:
The UAE has been covertly assisting the Houthis, also known as Ansarallah, in their war against Saudi Arabia inside Yemen dropsitenews.com/p/uae-yemen…
Why on gods green earth would you normalize aid relative to a donee country's GDP?? Make it make sense

It's cool how a member of the administration can just stand at a podium and openly say "don't vote for that guy, he's from one of the bad races". I feel very good about where we are right now.

A shameful episode thats already been forgotten about
This is also the result of “both are equally bad” rhetoric. Sometimes a lesser evil is correct in both terms
A year has passed since the beginning of El-Fasher massacre, one of the worst episodes of ethnic-based genocide since Rwanda genocide three decades ago.
Rapid Support Forces, a UAE-sponsored militia waging brutal war against Sudan's military government has long before then been accused of ethnic cleansing of Darfur region. They targeted and killed non-Arab inhabitants of the region for years, but on October 26, 2025, when besieged city of El-Fasher fell to the militia, violence reached an unprecedented level of brutality.
Tens of thousands of civilians were systematically gunned down in the streets, in hospitals and while trying to flee the city. Many militants filmed themselves commiting the massacre, and then subsequently published said videos online.
Piles of bodies and gigantic blood stains on the desert were visible from space on satellite imagery. Yet despite overwhelming evidence, and brutality unheard of in decades, the massacre was mostly under-reported in the Western media sphere.
UAE continues to sponsor RSF to this day.
May the world never forget.

A biological attack is planned for Saturday
600 million pounds of sugar laced with synthetic chemicals will enter the bodies of our children.
Wreaking metabolic havoc, injuring vascular architecture, acidifying oral lining, releasing bacterial toxins, and blunting neural reward pathways.
Instructing that gluttonous consumption of poison is celebratory.
Most completely implausible but funny outcome; Trump makes a last-ditch deal to cut and run - the street is opened and Iran "moves" it's nuclear program to a joint one operated with Saudi Arabia on Saudi soil, Saudi pays everyone up bajillion dollars
This is literally the most significant development of the entire war.
The Defence Minister of Saudi Arabia, a royal, a member of the Al Saud family and the younger brother of MBS, is in Tehran trying to create a potential scenario for peace with the Ansrallah Houthis and the Iranian governments.
This is being done for two main reasons I see.
1. It is being done because the Ansrallah Houthis have caused significant damage to oil exports and have the potential to cause further damage to Saudi Arabia's economy, numerous sectors and potential to destroy significant critical infrastructure across the kingdom, especially if the war continues with USA.
2. This is likely being pulled as Trump's last ditch effort to create an Off-Ramp for America and the Saudi's benefit from this approach as well and they are doing this to try to create a new reality.
This is a significant development and I wrote about this exact scenario back in May that is now playing out. Link to the full analysis in my article below comments section. A must read.
Signal, not noise
Terhram can claim that it is keeping its program, Trump can claim Iran will never get a nuclear weapon, Saudi can pretend it's getting an advantage by making peace with Iran even while giving up Yemen entirely,
