27th OF NISAN, APRIL. 14TH

Yes. I know that January 27th is observed as the so-called International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
1)

That day commemorates the liberation of the largest extermination camp by the Soviet Red Army
And for many years at the UN, commemorations mentioned the tragedy of the Holocaust by barely acknowledging the Jewish people were the only people targeted for total genocide
2)

In recent years, the global community has made an effort to build memorials to those who were murdered, and museums to provide educational opportunities—and all of that is good.

1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month.

Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue.

2/10 CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting ~1.5M barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing (~$87/barrel), though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions. A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, gone.

3/10 PETROCHEMICALS: Iran exported $19.7B in petrochemicals in 9 months of 2024/25, ~$54M/day. Virtually all of it ships through Assaluyeh, Imam Khomeini, and Shahid Rajaee, all inside the blockade zone. No overland route can move these volumes. Another $54M/day, gone.

OLYMPICS: Are there men with androgenic competitive advantage that would be elegible to compete against women in the Los Angeles Olympics, even after screening negative for SRY? Yes. Although very rare, a few cases would scape the SRY screening.

These were called 46,XX men (more correct and updated 46,XX DSD), and in 80–90% of 46,XX DSD cases, they have testicles and male phenotype because they do have a SRY gene, translocaten from a Y chromosome to an X chromosome during paternal meiosis.

Those are mostly phenotypically males, and even if they decide to compete with females, they would test positive in the initial SRY screening. They often have normal male internal and external genitalia and presents to an assisted reproductive center in adulthood for infertility.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “How stupid do they think we all are (or are they right to assume that)? Negotiations with Iran.

Iran comes into the negotiations and makes the following minimal demands.
1)

Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran charging tolls of $2 million per ship transversing the place (in violation of international maritime law).

Reparations from the USA and the Arabs.
2)

Well, we can stop there. The rest of their demands are as absurd. But the American officials are the fools for assuming there is something to discuss.”

This is yet but another example of how the UN has failed.

Outrage at UN: Democracies Enable Iran, China, Cuba to Oversee Human Rights Bodies

1)unwatch.org/outrage-at-un-…

This is yet but another example of how the UN has failed.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) nominated Iran to a body called the “Committee for Programme and Coordination” (CPC).
2)

That committee deals with UN planning and coordination, and its work includes areas like:
human rights
women’s issues
disarmament
counterterrorism

Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails.

Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.

Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability.

We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe.

Gratulálunk @magyarpeterMP-nek és a TISZA pártnak az elsöprő győzelmükhöz. Fontos, amikor a konstruktív megközelítés érvényesül.

Ukrajna mindig is jószomszédi kapcsolatokra törekedett minden európai országgal, és készen állunk a Magyarországgal való együttműködésünk előmozdítására.

Európának és minden európai nemzetnek meg kell erősödnie; európaiak milliói vágynak együttműködésre és stabilitásra.

Készen állunk a találkozókra és a közös konstruktív munkára mindkét nemzet javára, valamint Európa békéje, biztonsága és stabilitása érdekében.

Вітаю Петера Мадяра та партію TISZA з переконливою перемогою. Важливо, коли перемагає конструктивний підхід.

Україна завжди прагнула добросусідських відносин з усіма у Європі, і ми готові розвивати співпрацю з Угорщиною.

Європа та кожна європейська держава мають ставати сильнішими, і мільйони європейців прагнуть співпраці та стабільності.

Ми готові до зустрічей і спільної конструктивної роботи на благо обох народів, а також заради миру, безпеки та стабільності у Європі.

1/ This line, that because a Chinese company has a minority stake in Hinkley Point C, the UK Labour government must be “anti-Scottish” to have blocked the Ming Yang wind turbine factory, on national security grounds, is very easily debunked.

2/ The Chinese involvement in new nuclear was a decision made in 2015 by the David Cameron government. gov.uk/government/new…

3/ And in 2022, the Rishi Sunak government reversed that position by moving to exclude any further Chinese involvement in new nuclear, on national security grounds. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2022-1…

1/ Simply using a 💩 emoji on the state-mandated Russian messenger app MAX is enough to result in a user being convicted and fined, or potentially even imprisoned. A recent court case highlights how the app is blatantly being used as an instrument of repression. ⬇️
