🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US is actually bragging about features of its war on Iran, unseen since World War 2 (the sinking of a ship with a US sub).
Many of the same people who voted for Trump insisting he would end American wars abroad are now excitedly cheering this all on.
Don't wonder why Germans obediently followed its government to deadly self-destruction taking 10s of millions with it during WW2...
... witness it as the US plods down the same path today.

The EU ambassador to Ukraine requested through Zelensky's office to inspect the damaged Druzhba pipeline or to dispatch other EU diplomats, but was denied permission due to security concerns.
I wonder (not at all) why?!
Because inspection would expose Zelensky's lies.

Now some pro-Ukraine EU governments and the European Commission are also asking Kyiv to allow a visit to prove that it is trying to restore oil flows, according to five EU diplomats and officials.
Two of them said that European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa, president of the European Council, had specifically asked Ukraine’s leadership during their visit to Kyiv on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion for access to the Druzhba pipeline in order to assess the damage independently, but were denied.

Iraq’s electricity ministry said on Wednesday that the entire country had been affected by a total power outage, without identifying the cause.
“The power grid has completely shut down across all Iraqi provinces,” the ministry said, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

🤡 Rutte:
"NATO is there to protect us collectively against any adversary, be it Russia or whoever, or terrorism. But also it is a platform for the United States to project power on the world stage."
He admits that NATO is not defensive but offensive alliance and NATO functions as a platform for the US to project its power globally

Crackhead deranged loser 🤡 Zelensky threatened Hungarian PM Viktor Orban over the blocking of $90 billion in funding and weapons for Ukraine, saying he could give Orban’s address (location) to Ukrainian Armed forces (GRU terrorists) so they could deal with him “in their own language.”

Trump's illegal unprovoked war against Iran.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth and State Secretary Marco Rubio are reportedly “at each other’s throats” over deploying US troops to Iran.
According to a source for MEE, Rubio is opposed to sending American troops into Iran and fears a protracted entanglement, while Hegseth is supportive of a potential deployment.

Deranged 🤡 Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader following US and Israel assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
"They are wasting their time. Khamenei's son is a lightweight. I have to be involved ini the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela," Trump said.
He added that he refuses to accept a new Iranian leader who would continue Khamenei's policies, which he said would force the U.S. back to war "in five years."
"Khamenei's son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran"
🤡 Zelensky trying to be relevant again:
- Zelensky offers help downing Iran drones in exchange for Patriot missiles
- US asked for Ukraine’s support against Iranian drones

Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.
Mr. President Donald Trump, a direct question: Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran ? On what basis did you make this dangerous decision? Did you consider the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? Did you think that the first to suffer from this escalation would be the countries of the region? The people of this region also have the right to ask: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressure from Netanyahu and his government? You have placed the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Arab states at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who authorized you to turn our region into a battlefield? Before the ink was even dry on the Board Of Peace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where have those initiatives gone? And what has become of the pledges made in the name of peace? Most of the funding for those initiatives came from countries in the region itself, and from Arab Gulf states that contributed billions of dollars to support stability and development. These countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? Are we funding peace initiatives or a war that endangers us? Even more dangerous is that your decision threatens not only the people of the region, but also the American people, to whom you promised peace and prosperity. And now they find themselves embroiled in a war financed by their taxes, with the cost, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), ranging from $40-65 billion for direct military operations, and potentially reaching $210 billion including economic impacts and indirect losses if it continues for four to five weeks. It has even reached the point of sacrificing Americans themselves in a war in which they have no stake. You even broke your promises to avoid wars and prioritize America above all else, ordering foreign military interventions during your second term in seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. You directed over 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, equivalent to the total number of strikes during Biden's entire term—the same Biden you criticized for embroiling the United States in foreign wars. Mr. President, these figures have drastically impacted your approval ratings among Americans, which have plummeted by 9% in just 400 days since your second inauguration. These numbers speak volumes: even within the United States, there is growing concern about being drawn into another war and about jeopardizing American lives, the economy, and the future. True leadership is not measured by decisions to wage war, but by wisdom, respect for others, and the pursuit of peace. If these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right to demand full transparency and clear accountability today.

The editor-in-chief of Independent Arabia suggested in a television interview on Tuesday that not all attacks on the Gulf states may be coming from Iran, and that the US and Israel could lure them into the war, only to later abandon them.

Well, that escalated quickly. First it was nuclear program, then the missiles, then regime change, now is unconditional surrender, in capital letters.
Trump:
He knows he is losing his war, losing badly!
Trump:
There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter!
He knows he is losing his war, losing badly!

The evidence is becoming so overwhelming that even western media shows that it was a US airstrike, highly likely guided by Anthropic's AI, that blew up an Iranian school filled with schoolgirls, liberating 165 of them (from life).
