Trump really out there saying a whole civilization will die today like it’s a normal thing
Btw, I had finally got my permaban on Reddit by stating that it is time for a retaliation on Israel’s logistics railway.
May Israel, the US and their colonial lackeys suffer every bit of torment they have inflicted upon this world.
Btw, I had finally got my permaban on Reddit by stating that it is time for a retaliation on Israel’s logistics railway.
What did the mod-message say? Seems extra nakedly hypocritical with all the genocidal screenshots I’ve seen off there.
They invoke Rule 1, “No threaten harm and violence”. Every single time its fine for the Empire and their supporters to wish, threaten, and jeer about harm on the rest of the world, and it’s never OK to return 1/10 of the favor for them. Not even by suggesting they deserve what they do to others.
Edit: Its just a feeling, but it seems like they are more sensitive this time around even when compared to 2024 when Israel came under the scrutiny of the world and the world started to see the US Empire for what it is. When reactionaries become sensitive and jumping to retaliate ten times out of ten they are scared. So, the empire is feeling under the weather. A bit of solice for myself, though I do want to see them crumble.
It’s okay the important ppl know when it’s time to hit the railways & they seem very unleashed compared to Russian MoD (so expect the same method with a rapid timetable & different strategic goals, more serious ones IMHO). Priority was on military infrastructure first even though it’s knitted together
No problem, I’m sure showing restraint against genocidal entities hellbent on, well, genocide, will go a long way for Iran.
God, stop fucking around and develop a nuke already. All morality and religious ethics are worthless if your people are blown up on the daily.
I hope this is a wake up call for the Iranian leadership. They will NEVER be forgiven for showing the US’ weakness to the world. Israel and US will never negotiate in good faith. The only ending they have in mind is the complete destruction of Iran.
And if the moderates in Iran still can’t make peace with that, then I hope the hardliners know what to do with such moderates.
[2026-04-07] @\CarlZha: Neocon think tank AEI fellow taking a break from China Bad “analysis” to complain that China should rein in private Chinese satellite imagery provider MizarVision from providing satellite info to Iran. L(Mao)
[2026-04-06] @\RyanFedasiuk: The @\abcnews is out this morning with a disturbing
This is confusingly unclear language, he clearly means badass based on context
story: The IRGC is actively making use of detailed satellite imagery and analysis published by MizarVision, a Chinese geospatial analytics company — and has used this data to target American, Australian, and allied forces in the Middle East.
Expand the remaining utter wonkslop (if you must)
This is a fluid and fast-moving situation and I want to be clear about what we know so far.
1️⃣ It’s clear U.S. forces in the Gulf are operating in an environment that is very different from any other they have encountered previously.
Commercial satellite imagery collected by foreign companies is now available at a quality and frequency that is good enough to put U.S. combat forces in harm’s way.
This is ultimately why U.S. collection platforms like @vantortech and @planet chose this weekend to suspend their coverage over the Middle East.
Unfortunately, predictably, foreign competitors like MizarVision see no reason to censor their own product offerings.
2️⃣ The implications are grim: ostensibly private Chinese AI companies are directly helping the Iranian regime target U.S. and allied forces in the region.
The ABC has information that the IRGC is striking U.S. facilities “within hours” of MizarVision publishing them.
I told @henryzwartz that this would effectively amount to Iranian forces outsourcing targeting data to a Chinese company: It is “the greatest degree of support we have seen China provide to a proxy force against the United States” — there is really no other way to read it.
3️⃣ If the Chinese government wanted to rein in the actions of MizarVision and other imagery providers, it could. And it should.
Spokespersons from @\MFA_China have so far attempted to downplay the significance of this development. I’m willing to buy that Chinese officials haven’t been aware of the importance of this particular imagery or the extent of its use by the IRGC — but China should recognize this is an extremely serious development. We’re talking about Chinese enterprises directly supplying actionable intelligence to wartime enemies of the United States.
MizarVision has spent weeks zeroing in on U.S. forces and bases in the region and publishing their activities on its Weibo account. It hasn’t done the same to Iran. It’s very clear what is going on here — and it is unacceptable.
This doesn’t have to be a story about China. It’s clear the United States is also learning about the battlefield potential of commercial sat imagery in real-time.
Beijing should understand that U.S. concerns at this moment are deadly serious. I expect the U.S. government will do everything in its power to defend its personnel.
China should mirror the U.S. suspension of commercial satellite imagery collection over the Middle East.
MizarVision doing a beautiful service to the anti-imperial forces out there. Uncritical Support.
Western journalist crying about anti-imperialist solidarity is a beautiful thing.

File photo of Iranian attack drones
An Iranian retaliatory drone strike at an American airbase in Kuwait has injured 15 American personnel, a report says, amid Washington’s attempts at understating the extent of the American casualties resulting from Tehran’s retaliatory operations.
CBS News carried the report on Monday, citing two US officials, who identified the target as the Ali al-Salem Airbase, a key hub for US operations in the West Asia region.
Also on Monday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced carrying out the 98th wave of Operation True Promise 4, as part of which it struck several military aircraft stationed at the base, using missiles and drones.
The retaliatory operation began immediately after the United States and the Israeli regime began their latest bout of unprovoked aggression targeting the Islamic Republic on February 28.
The operation has dealt heavy blows to American bases and interests across the region as well as sensitive and strategic targets throughout the occupied territories, with the Iranian Armed Forces pledging to sustain the counteroffensive until the enemies’ “complete defeat.”
On Friday, The Intercept reported that hundreds of US troops had been either killed or wounded in Iranian strikes, adding that the US Department of War was playing down the casualties.
The outlet cited an instance when CENTCOM, which oversees military operations in West Asia, withheld information about the injury of at least 15 US troops during an Iranian counterstrike targeting an airbase hosting American forces in Saudi Arabia.
It quoted a spokesperson’s note that, since the start of the American-Israeli aggression, “approximately 303 US service members have been wounded,” besides citing a defense official as saying that CENTCOM was apparently engaged in a “casualty cover-up.”

[2026-04-07] @\MujammaHaraket: *The Palestinian Islamic Movement & the Centrality of Mosques as a Political Site of Resistance* ʿAbd Allāh Yusuf al-Laddawi, who led the Imad 'Aql battalion of the al-Qassam brigades in Northern Gaza, wrote in his book, “Seeds of Hamas” (2025), that:
Expand quotation
"Hamas regards mosques as the movement’s primary strongholds. It regards any attempt to push the Hamas movement out of them as a red line that cannot be tolerated. In a 1998 statement condemning the Palestinian Authority’s decision to close mosques after prayers and restrict their activities, Hamas declared:
‘Our steadfast mosques have always stood as fortresses of revolution against every form of occupation since the beginning of this century. They constitute one of the central pillars of an independent Palestinian civil society, separate from any occupation or tyranny. Our people will not tolerate any violation of the mosques’ free and independent status.’
Hamas has relied on mosques and Islamic institutions to turn its social and daʿwa discourse into a practical reality. Lacking many other such avenues, it has used the mosque to carry out myriad [socio-political] functions. Over time, the mosque became a central axis of the intifada. It served as a key site of mobilization. The largest demonstrations, marches, and clashes often began at mosques. Fridays, in particular, have consistently galvanized popular action with momentum and fervor. Mosques also fulfill an important social role. Hamas organizes relief committees that provide mutual aid and distribute essential goods.
Mosques further serve as alternative centers of education when the occupation authorities close schools and universities in the Gaza Strip. The phenomenon of collaborators and spies publicly repenting in mosques reflects both the influence of Hamas and the momentous power of these spaces. Many choose mosques as the place to declare their repentance."
With the influx of young collaborators seeking repentance following the open call from village Mukhtars, it also worth underscoring how the mosque has functioned as a site for penitence and forgiveness.
As al-Laddawi continues: "For a large number of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the mosques have become genuine symbols of religious and social identity. From the beginning, the movement arduously worked to turn these mosques into safe havens, gathering spaces, and launching pads for their affiliated cells and study circles. Deprived of the ability to express itself politically in public, the movement sought to use the mosque as a space from which to articulate its views and political positions. Persecution and violent attacks by Jewish extremists on holy places have strengthened the Palestinian people’s attachment to the mosque.
The movement succeeded in gaining access to mosques by fostering good relations through visits to mosque imams, and by having their members conduct fundraising campaigns, clean the mosques and their surroundings, and repair any malfunctioning equipment. In turn, they became an integral part of the mosque families and their governing bodies, and the imam could not do without them. Throughout this time, the mosque was not merely a site of worship; rather, most social occasions took place there—prayer within its walls, sit-ins against the occupier under its dome, communal iftar in its courtyard, the repentance of collaborators within its halls, and the collection and distribution of alms within its premises."
Incredibly enough there are great Iranian diaspora out there! Sadly, the most vicious and mentally colonized are the ones that the Western media focuses on(or invents them).

Trump may delay strikes on Iran’s civilian, energy infrastructure — Axios via TASS [2026-04-07]

According to the sources, the US president holds the most “hawkish” position on Iran among members of his Cabinet
WASHINGTON, April 7. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump may delay strikes on Iran’s civilian and energy infrastructure, Axios reported on Monday, citing a senior US administration official.
“If the president sees a deal is coming together, he’ll probably hold off. But only he and he alone makes that decision,” the source told Axios. An unnamed Pentagon official, in turn, expressed skepticism about the possibility of another extension of the deadline for reaching a deal with Iran.
According to Axios sources, the US president holds the most “hawkish” position on Iran among members of his Cabinet. At the same time, US Vice President JD Vance, special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner believe he should try to reach a deal with Tehran if possible. As the news portal’s sources noted, Tehran’s response to Washington’s ceasefire proposal was seen at the White House “as a negotiating gambit, not a rejection.”

Australia is one disruption away from a fuel crisis. Australia imports about 90% of its gasoline and diesel - mostly from East Asia.
And now these suppliers are cutting production due to the oil loss in the Middle East.
Sounds like they really need to go and use the last of their oil to send some of their warships off to harass China some more. That ought to help their situation.
☝️🤓 China & VN are primarily redirecting domestic production towards their own needs. Articles OSINT slophounds uncritically ingest tell them that they import their energy needs. They don’t tell them that those needs are easily met by redirecting the export flow. Japan, Taiwan, SK, Singapore, & the rest of the Hitler friends are not allowed this kind of self-sufficiency!
