A religious minority tries to secure its existence by demonstrating loyalty to an empire. A nation does not rely on that—but knows it must fight for its survival and freedom. Help may come, but even if it doesn’t, a nation will fight. A minority believes empire will protect her.

We should work together with our Western partners to protect the Dayton Accords, but that could fail and we need to be ready to defend ourselves in the worst case scenario. Bosniak politicians who think only about the first option are irresponsible and dangerous.

Dumb people with a lot of charisma & supreme self confidence will seem intelligent (to the uninitiated) no matter what they say; they can claim one thing or its opposite and both will seem insightful.

Sometimes the right strategic thing for Europeans to do is just watch events unfold on their phone while sitting in a nice cafe 1000 miles away from all the chaos

Zohran Mamdani is one of the few bright spots these days. Perhaps the policy he represents will prevail—if we can endure global darkness that now seems inevitable in the coming years.

Witkoff was the only official who hasn’t been making foolish statements lately.

“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice…” You cant make this shit up.

This could mean that destroying the facilities—but not the uranium—is seen as a compromise solution, or at least a basis for a ceasefire and renewed negotiations. Trump continues to insist that the nuclear program has been obliterated, contrary to claims of other U.S. officials.

Qatar is winning minds and hearts by getting bombed

🚨A White House official told me that Trump's goal now is to end the war and he is going to make it clear to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We want a deal and don't want any more war", the official said

A lot of people ‘don’t understand’ why the Iranians informed the U.S. about the retaliation. Iranians are more clever than some of their passionate supporters. Don’t forget the trucks at the Fordow facility just ahead of the U.S. strikes. How did they know it would be bombed?

Unlike some of their supporters, Iranians are not dumb:

Dobar intervju Eli Taubera. Tim prije, da ponovim N-ti put: Ne ocekujte od vasih komsija da se pravdaju ili izvinjavaju za postupke drzave Izrael. Jer ja se sigurno, a garant ni vi, nikad nisam izvinjavala za teroristicke napade ili bilo sta slicno. Jos sam napadala ko me pita.

Is it me or Trump and the Iranians are conniving to play the Israelis?

No matter how much you give Israel and its neocon loyalists in the US, it's never enough. The always want more.

already losing their minds

Dobro je ovo rekao: ništa bez dogovora. Glavno pitanje je šta tim dogovorom dobijaju Bošnjaci i šta gubi HDZ. Dogovor je kompromis, gdje se svi odriču i svi dobijaju. Bez spremnosti HDZ-a na teška odricanja, pričanje na ovu temu je gubljenje vremena. klix.ba/vijesti/bih/pl…

One has nothing to add to this:

Trump should pad-lock the White House door and not let this guy within 3,000 miles of the compound.

You know things are going to shit when people start to agree with fucking Marjorie Taylor Greene.
