"The same ideological blind spot in Western analysis that accommodates a genocide in Gaza would accommodate either the US or Israel busting the nuclear taboo." @vanjackson.bsky.social is surely right about this, and also reminds us that luck saved us from nuclear war with North Korea in 2017-8.

Spoke with @telegraph.co.uk “If the US implements Trump’s threat to attack all power plants and all bridges, that would constitute war crimes because it involves attacking civilian objects. Those who commit crimes at his direction remain exposed.” www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

More threatening war crimes unless Iran "cries uncle."

Jeg er ikke militærkyndig, men dette synes relevant for en mindre stat at tage i betragtning.

Det går elendigt for Trump i krigen med Iran. Det skal vi frygte. Hvis USA taber og erkender dette på de indre linjer, er der formentlig eskalation forude. Jeg har afgivet (langt) interview til RÆSON. Ingen betalingsmur. www.raeson.dk/2026/poya-pa...

Hatred of the regime has not translated into enthusiasm for the missiles sent to destroy it. Read the reporting from the past few days and a pattern emerges: Iranians are not particularly fond of being bombed. [link in thread]

Læs @ppkzd.bsky.social's Substack, hvor han sammenfatter de seneste dages pressedækning af krigen i Iran og selv runder af.

Israel's military is stretched with its two-front war. www.ynet.co.il/news/article...

The US imperial viceroy in Iraq, Paul Bremer: www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

“To initiate a war of aggression… is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

Deep sigh The whole war is a crime But need more facts to assess whether individual attacks are war crimes

Bahrains desalination plants were just targeted.

We asked Randy Fine what evidence he has that Iran was who killed at least 160 people at a girls school. He replied: “what’s the evidence they didn’t?” Now, right afterwards, it’s been revealed that US military investigators believe the Trump-Vance-Hegseth-Rubio admin was likely responsible.

As the Kurds who had depended on US support, were betrayed and massacred in their thousands in the 70s, Kissinger famously dismissed the deaths: "covert action should not be confused with missionary work."

Irans dybeste krise handler hverken om økonomi eller ydre fjender, men om et sammenbrud i styrets legitimitet, kommentar af @ppkzd.bsky.social Tak til "Jens" for deling :-)

En ting er sikkert: Protesterne i Iran vender tilbage. www.information.dk/udland/2026/...

Why Greenland? "Peter Thiel, who wants to set up crypto-empowered 'network states' on undeveloped territory, has invested in Praxis, a start-up that aims to do just that and which has scouted Greenland. Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, was a co-founder with Thiel and Elon Musk of PayPal."

It's astounding how much the present is just "Even Stupider 2003" www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport

Right wing Danish newspaper eagerly embraced a French book on 'islamogauchisme'. The question is whether they actually read it with any rigor. My latest column examines that, drawing on the meticulous work of @avriogata.bsky.social: www.information.dk/debat/2025/1...

The latest trend among Israeli youth is to call their parents and mockingly ask for donations for the children of Gaza and record their parents' vile reactions. Why do Western states not ask themselves how the region is supposed to co-exist securely with a society like this?

De "bitte små dråber arsenik" er altid en forvarsel om, hvilken retning systemet bevæger sig i.

Saudi dependence on the US for security, Parsi said, creates an environment where “Iran cannot improve its relations with its immediate neighbors without improving relations with a country two oceans away.” amwaj.media/en/article/t...

AI-powered surveillance firms are gunning for a share of the Gaza spoils The presence of Palantir and Dataminr at the new U.S. military compound in Israel offers a glimpse of how tech companies are cashing in on the genocide. www.972mag.com/ai-surveilla...

WOW! @RepThomasMassie tells reporters that Trump has tried to stop the release of the Epstein files to protect some of his donors, but also because "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies."

Dagens Gâzâ Brîef har ramt din indbakke. Her er et uddrag fra afslutningen:

Over 11,000 people, mostly women and children, are missing in Gaza. The vast majority of them are likely dead. That puts the total number of Palestinians killed directly in Gaza at over 80,000. www.972mag.com/search-gaza-...

Wafaa Hamad survived an Israeli airstrike that killed her entire family in Gaza last year. She lost her leg and slipped into a coma. After a year of suffering without treatment, because Israel blocks almost all medical evacuations and keeps the Rafah crossing sealed, she has died. The World...

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

Looking forward to both of these...

The Biden administration was fully complicit in genocide, and anyone who served in it should be held accountable.

The embedded experience: "Israel only allows select journalists into Gaza for brief visits escorted by soldiers. We were restricted in who we could interview or film among the soldiers. We did not see Palestinians." www.npr.org/2025/11/07/n...

Rabin was an ethnic cleanser in ’48, a lifelong anti-Palestinian zealot who never sought peace and openly said so. He delayed talks to keep settlements growing. Those who mythologize him live in a cozy (and easily debunked) fantasy of their own making.

"Israel attacked first." This admission undercuts the Trump administration's collective self-defense justification for joining Israel's military campaign against Iran over the summer.
