Gehoornde metselbij (Osmia cornuta), denk ik

Keep in mind we already know the US-IDF alliance is committing war crimes, lying about casualties, lying about imminent threats, lying about timelines. And keep in mind the UK confirms the Cyprus strike came from Lebanon—not Iran. Hezbollah has even *less* reason to anger the UK.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

Le Monde investigates the bombing of a girls' school in Minab that claimed more than 180 dead. There was no ambiguity that this was a school when it was attacked, they write. This was a clear war crime that reminds of Hegseth's statement that there would be no "stupid roles of engagement."

Xi: Did you hear? Kim: No... Xi: The Americans are moving air defense systems out of South Korea! Kim: What? No way! Xi: Yes! Kim: Amazing. How'd you do that? Xi: I didn't do anything. They started a war with Iran, told themselves it'd be easy, and didn't do the math on interceptors. Kim: Ha!

Dit sterke stuk van @kanteldenker.bsky.social nog eens herlezen en ik word met terugwerkende ‘kracht’ kwaad. Wie denkt minister Mirjam Sterk wel niet wie ze is? Dat ze ons, ouders van gehandicapte kinderen, durft aan te spreken op “eigen kracht” bij de vaak zware 24-uurszorg?! >>

⚠️ Jeremy Scahill: “Over the past ~24 hours, we have heard via witnesses that the number of U.S. personnel injured in Iranian attacks in Kuwait is much higher than has been acknowledged. CENTCOM has not responded to our requests for comment.”

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

⚡️Putin increases Russia's regular army personnel to nearly 2.4 million. Russia's regular army has grown to 2,391,770 personnel. Of these, 1,502,640 will serve as active-duty troops — 2,640 more than before, according to the March 4 decree.

Laten we toch in vredesnaam hopen dat ze het NIET doen. Dit kan toch domweg niet!? De man heeft schijt aan wetten en regels in zijn eigen land. De man valt landen binnen zonder concrete aanleiding. De man laat mensen vermoorden op bootjes in open water, puur op een verdenking, niet meer.

And all this was predicted, exhaustively and with full sourcing, in the 600-page, New York Times-bestselling epic Proof of Conspiracy. Which was published 6 years ago. What you're seeing now is the fruition of a plan that's been in the works since 2015.

Ik vind het lastig om medelijden te hebben met mensen die belasting zitten te ontwijken in een ver oord maar nu wel door de Nederlandse overheid teruggehaald willen worden.

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.

Iran wordt wel het eerste land in de geschiedenis dat niet aan een WK voetbal meedoet omdat het door het gastland gebombardeerd wordt.

Deze vraag zou in NL ook gesteld mogen worden in politieke peilingen wat mij betreft.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

According to the Electoral Calculus user specified calculator, if these Yougov polling numbers were repeated at a GE, then Reform would be 41 seats short of a majority. The Greens would be in second place, and Labour would be SIXTH behind the LibDems, Tories and SNP. Labour would have just 28 MPs.

“De vakbonden begrijpen dat het kabinet meer moet uitgeven aan de krijgsmacht. „Maar waarom”, zegt Koerselman (FNV) „haal je dat geld niet op bij vermogens? Waarom laat je de hypotheekrenteaftek in stand? Waarom pak je met de belastingverhoging met name mensen die het einde van de maand net halen?””

I doubt many would have predicted such leveling of UK political playing field after general election in 2024 😳

They really have sunk to this level 🤡 #specialmilitaryoperation

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing. Why? Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

De Box 3 wet gaat op de schop omdat rijke beleggers boos zijn. De bezuinigingen op zorg, gehandicapten, werklozen en ouderen gaan ongewijzigd door. Die zijn ook boos, maar niet rijk.

Opinie Stijn Verbruggen: 'Als alle kosten stijgen die aanbieders van gehandicaptenzorg maken, maar ze krijgen slechts een deel daarvan vergoed, dan is ‘minder meer’ wel degelijk hetzelfde als keihard bezuinigen'

Trump has assumed the power of a king – to decide whether people live or die, based on his personal preference. We see it in Iran, on the high seas, and in the streets of Minneapolis. We must take away Trump’s license to kill and re-impose the rule of law. My free Stop the Presses newsletter.

Virtually here now: ‘If a Ukrainian lost a limb because of the war then their participation would risk creating a political statement, so they must be excluded from the (Winter) Paralympics’ #LookAwayAtAllCost

First, obviously, fuck off. Second, why does this street always run in only one direction? The current President of the United States and God-King of the GOP routinely calls Democratic predecessors every name under the sun and no one writes pearl clutching op-eds about his contempt for voters.

"The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai."

Look at this chart

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran. Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Here's Hegseth saying the US will not observe the Geneva Conventions or other laws of war in its war on Iran ("no stupid rules of engagement.") Note how he's incapable of identifying the objectives that the US has in Iran or stating its strategy. bsky.app/profile/atru...

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.
