    From Sony Thang on the USA:

    There has never been a terrorist organization on Earth with the global reach of the United States.
    None with more bases.
    None with more proxies.
    None with a larger civilian kill count.
    None with a better public relations department.
    That is what makes it so dangerous.
    America is not merely violent.
    It is violently respectable.
    It can strike a school full of children and still have “experts” explain why the massacre was “complex.”
    It can back genocide and still get invited to human rights summits.
    The gangster at least admits he is a gangster.
    The empire wants a Nobel Prize.

    🇺🇸The oil tankers seized by Trump are costing the US tens of millions of dollars, - NYT

    • The US campaign to seize oil tankers transporting oil from countries under US sanctions has turned out to be much more expensive than expected.

    • The maintenance of just one tanker, Skipper, has already cost the US 47 million dollars over three months, with the cost of the ship itself estimated at around 10 million dollars.

    🇾🇪 Ansar Allah spokesman, Ali Al-Bukhaiti:

    “Saudi FM says Iran must uphold Islamic ethics. How remarkable!

    Is it Islamic ethics to open your land to America and the Zionist entity to attack Iran?

    To bomb Yemen for 10 years — funerals, weddings, hospitals, mosques?”

    🇷🇺 Russia is considering deploying armed escort teams and naval protection for vessels under the Russian flag.

    Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said measures are being developed to place special defensive systems on ships and to organize convoy protection by the Russian Navy. He stressed that diplomatic and legal tools are often insufficient amid the Western campaign against Russian shipping.

    If new threats emerge from European countries, Russia will implement additional countermeasures.

    Patrushev called the attack on the tanker Arktik Metagas in the Mediterranean a blatant act and classified it as international terrorism.

    🇮🇷❌🇮🇱Israel Army Radio: An investigation officer in “Lahav 433” on the espionage case:

    “This is one of the most serious cases we have faced… A reserve soldier transferred to Iran the locations of Iron Dome batteries and detailed information about their operating mechanism.”

    🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

    Americans haven’t forgotten how, even as hundreds of U.S. soldiers were dying in Vietnam, and the outcome was already clear, General William Westmoreland was flown home to reassure everyone that the war was going well — that the U.S. was “winning.”

    The media haven’t forgotten either; those briefings full of fantasy from the frontlines became infamous as the “Five O’Clock Follies.”

    Fast forward to today: same script, different stage; Hegseth steps up, and the message is still detached from reality.

    The U.S. government says one thing, reality says another. Right as U.S. authorities claim Iran’s air defences are gone, an F-35 gets hit. As they declare Iran’s navy finished, USS Gerald Ford turns back, and USS Abraham Lincoln drifts farther away.
    Different decade, same “we’re winning.”

    🇺🇸🇮🇷| The Us gave a 30-day authorization for ⁠the delivery and sale of crude oil and petroleum products ‌of ⁠Iranian-origin loaded vessels, according to the ⁠US Treasury Department.

    — Doesn’t sound like something someone who’s claiming it’s winning the war, would do.

    Trump is winning so much, he lifted sanctions on Iranian oil.

      I think it should be a little different. Either renkunce your Israeli citizenship or renounce your Russian one and give up any attempts to come back to Russia later. They either have to go back to Russia now or they have to tie themselves to the sinking ship that is the Israeli entity

        That support for Israel will soon decrease. The same way as the pro-EU/pro-West sentiment lost its ground in the common russian.

        I believe in our russian comrades and their capacity to change their reality.

        The images are from Moscow btw.

          It already is, like anecdotal experience, but if before the attack on Iran the majority of people I know didn’t even speak about Israel, now more and more of them are turning firmly against it

            Even before this, public opinion in Russia was turning massively against “Israel” because of how involved the Zionists are with the Ukrainian regime. There are “Israeli” mercenaries in the Ukrainian regime’s forces and they clearly have the same terrorist MO when it comes to targeting civilians and assassinating leaders. Also, Zelensky bragged about how he would turn Ukraine into a “big Israel”. As a Russian you would have to be blind not to see the ties between these two terrorist regimes.

              Yet they were) Like some people were pointing out Israeli interference in SMO, but since lots of Russian artists/media figures have dual citizenship with Israel, media was kind of blind towards it.

    The American political class believes everyone is secretly as cowardly as they are.

    That deep down, every people will eventually choose comfort over honor, safety over sovereignty, appetite over principle.

    Iran is the recurring proof that this assumption is false.

    That is why they cannot leave it alone.

    It is not just a geopolitical rival.

    It is a metaphysical insult to their anthropology.

    It proves that human beings can still be organized by faith, memory, sacrifice, and destiny.

    Trump cannot understand any of this because he cannot even understand silence unless it is flattering him.
