🏴 ‼️ 🇲🇱 🇧🇫 Mali might collapse by the end of the year if not sooner, the capital is in a state of semi-siege with the JNIM threatening to capture the capital Bamako.

Burkina Faso will be next and then more and more countries will follow.

➕ 🇱🇧 3 drone strikes in Southern Lebanon since the start of the day

➕1st hit the back of a van but only caused minor injuries

➕2nd hit a car and killed 2 brothers who were hezbollah members

➕3rd happened a few minutes ago, and likely resulted in a single casualty

🤫 🇱🇧 A vast majority Pro-Hezbollah news accounts have been lecturing their readers about OPSEC for about a week now ever since the rising risk of escalation, telling their subscribers to avoid sharing pictures of targeted locations and videos of funerals (to avoid leaking hezbollah member’s faces), alongside any other information that could serve as intelligence sources for the IDF as part of a campaign to mitigate information leaks.

As you can tell via the persistent abundance of footage following each IDF attack, it’s not really working

🗿 A small israeli drone dropped a sound bomb on people gathering around the vehicle struck

➕ The strike killed Radwan Force deputy commander Khalil Karnib, an extremely high ranking target.

🎖️For comparison (for those keeping tabs on Hezbollah casualties), this is the same rank as a man called Wissam Al Tawil, a previous Radwan deputy commander killed on january 8 of last year.

🇱🇧To give an idea of the seniority of such a rank, the previous deputy commander Wissam Al Tawil was said to report directly to Hassan Nasrallah.

👀 Reports of Israeli communities near the border with Lebanon fear another war with Hezbollah, saying they’ve received no compensation for 2024 losses and “can’t endure another round”

📈Around 74% of Israelis have returned to their evacuated homes in Northern Israeli, however due to severe economic losses and material damage, those communities are fragile and vulnerable as escalation on the border would send them fleeing again

🕯In contrast, the percentage of returnees on the Lebanese side is much lower; some villages are only back to 20% of their pre-war population while others remain completely abandoned and in ruins. The low rate of return is due to the fact that the IDF has so thorough destroyed the border towns that in many cases, there is nothing left to return to

And the few that do come back have to survive on their own with destroyed infrastructure and zero state support. If you’re lucky you might scrape enough money for a solar pannel or get help from charity organizations

🇺🇸🇺🇸 - California Governor Gavin Newsom visited Texas today/yesterday.

✍️ He held a speech in Houston and was joined by Texan democratic politicians. Newsom just a couple days ago managed to pass proposition 50 which was a direct response to Texas's redistricting efforts.

👀 Representative Al Green, who interrupted Trump's speech to Congress earlier this year, proudly proclaimed that Newsom will be the future US president.

🇺🇸 Newsom is expected to try and gain the Democratic nomination for the 2028 Presidential election as he has reached his term limit as California Governor and has said he's open to the possibility but it's too early to say for certain.

📊 Even though it's only 2025 many in the democrats are seemingly already preparing for the primaries and trying to build momentum. Current favorites are Newsom and Kamala, who already semi-confirmed that she will try to get the nomination again via not running for California governor

🇺🇸 - Cuomo VS JFK's Grandson?
