โ€œDo you wish to continue serving in the Russian Federation?โ€ โ€” โ€œWhy the fuck would I?โ€
That was 18-year-old cadet Dmytro Klymovych answering the Russian officer who seized their academy in Sevastopol. 1/ Image
He was one of the cadets who sang the Ukrainian anthem while Russians raised their flag. During the full-scale invasion Russians took him prisoner โ€” beating him day and night. Now he is home, making up for lost time with his son โ€” Hromadske. 2/
March 20, 2014. Two days after Russia annexed Crimea. Russians raise their tricolor over the academy. Loudspeakers blast ceremonial music to drown out what happened next. Dozens of cadets ran onto the parade ground and sang the Ukrainian anthem. 3/

KHARG ISLAND โ€” a thread:

Trump has talked about taking Iran's Kharg Island for 40 years. The problem? Capturing it won't shut down Iranโ€™s entire oil export system. And thus it won't lead to Hormuz re-opening fast enough.

๐Ÿงต1/10 @Opinion

Contrary to common wisdom, Kharg โ€” about half the size of Manhattan and roughly 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from the Iranian mainland โ€” isnโ€™t the only spigot for the Islamic Republicโ€™s vast petroleum industry. Tehran has other โ€” admitedly, much smaller โ€” oil terminals.

๐Ÿงต2/10
Normally, Kharg accounts for ~90% of Iran's crude exports, benefing from its proximity to the countryโ€™s giant onshore oilfields, deep-water berths, huge storage capacity and the ability to load tankers fast.

Today, several oil tankers are loading in Kharg ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ทโฌ‡๏ธ.

The 'RUSSIA HOAX' that was concocted by Clinton, Obama, Breenan, Clapper and OBAMA is being finally exposed.
THREAD BELOW of those that fabricated and pushed this bullSCHIFF into the public.

Remember, "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW"
(2) This is a damning piece of video for John Brennan & Obama for their roll in concocting the โ€˜Russia Hoaxโ€™.

โ€œIn early August the CIA comes to the White House with a really remarkable piece of intelligenceโ€.

Reporter Greg Miller explains it.

Miller won a Pulitzer for his Russia Hoax reporting.
(3) Now listen to John Brennan speak about that August โ€œfor your eyes onlyโ€ meeting at the White House.

He implicates James Clapper in this clip as well.

I don't expect anyone stupid enough to gargle DSA balls or dedicate an entire twitter account to harassing Jewish and Black accounts to perform basic math skills, but Jews born in 1938 were very pro-Israel for very rational and logical reasons. Image
I also appreciate that many of you dildos were educated during a time when the schools were closed for a prolonged period and likely slept through remote learning, which is a YP that has become our entire society's problem, but historical context does fucking matter.
And while my father and I had many a quarrel while he was alive about Jewish politics, I always understood the rationale for his standing on a street corner as an 8-year-old boy raising money for the founding of the State of Israel.

1).
โ€žThe strikes underscore the Pentagonโ€™s growing reliance on land-based missiles in its war plans, and the arrival of newer versions of the weapons fired from mobile Himars truck launchers that can shoot and move, making them less vulnerable in an era of drone warfare.
2).
In a conflict largely described as an air war, the land-based systems provide another dimension to the U.S. attack on Iran.
3).
It reflects a larger shift by the U.S. military in recent years away from the kind of weaponry needed to fight a counterinsurgency, like the ones the U.S. fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, to rearming for conventional wars against major powers, like China.โ€

Indian nationalists have a retarded view of economic history in which the colonization of the Americas and Industrial Revolution (which led to India's relative decline) and the Raj-era population boom (which led to per-capita income decline from less land/person) never happened. Image
Reality is colonial India had some of the lowest taxes of any government anywhere, and the taxes went to defending and maintaining order in India itself (which any government would have to do). There were no Spanish Empire-style treasure ships.
Looting is not compatible with massive premodern population increases (people don't farm when they'll get their stuff stolen and themselves killed). Nor does looting, which destroys the economy, make much money at the state level, though it can make some individuals very rich.

Fidel Castro as university student and follower of the social dem Eduardo Chibas gave a pro Israel speech in 1947, calling for solidarity with Jewish national liberation. Cuba itself voted against in 47, saying Balfour illegal: London โ€œwas offering something whichโ€ฆ1/4
did not belong to it.โ€ Cuba recognized Israel in 49. Israel was one of first states to recognize Castro and provided tech assistance to grow citrus. Castro declared 3 days of mourning in 1963 when Israeli president died. 2/4
By this time, even as Israel was teaching Cubans how to grow oranges, Mossad was already cultivating anti-Castro Cubans in Miami. Some theories link the two in JFKโ€™s death, as per recently released documents 3/4

*deep sigh* ok, fine. let's do this once again...

The issue with Fetterman v Lamb was not an issue of 'progressive' ideology, it was a matter of ignoring numerous red flags that he was a very 'off' person not suited for congress, mainly b/c people fell in love with his aesthetic
He refused to apologize for chasing down a black jogger. Defiantly insisting he did nothing wrong. Image
He built ZERO relationships with his colleagues. He got no endorsements from anyone largely bc of this.

Naturally, progressives painted it as some good 'anti-establishment' thing. In reality, it was bc he is/was an anti-social weirdo. Image

๐ŸงตWatch this carefully.

This is not just a bridge being hit.
1/ Israel has struck the Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River in southern Lebanon, one of the last major crossings on the coastal highway.

Attached: raw footage moments before & during the strike. The aircraft, the impact, the collapse.

This is not just another โ€œmilitary target.โ€

Image
2/ The Qasmiya Bridge is a key civilian artery linking southern Lebanon to the rest of the country.

Cut it, & you isolate entire communities, restricting movement of civilians, ambulances, aid, & daily life.

Let me be clear. I donโ€™t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. Itโ€™s a shady project.
ย 
Track AIPAC isnโ€™t a neutral watchdog.
Itโ€™s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda.
ย 
If AIPAC is your red line, fine. Draw it. But at least make sure the numbers youโ€™re using are real.
๐ŸงตImage
Track AIPAC drops bold red info memes that mix real donations with outside spending and vague โ€œdonor networkโ€, and social media run wild.ย 
ย 
Too many are falling for it and doing their dirty work for them.
ย 
When you check Track AIPACโ€™s math, a pattern appears. Their biggest claims arenโ€™t verifiable. And theyโ€™re not interested in showing their receipts.
ย 
The biggest totals are often only partially auditable. Without donor-by-donor disclosure and a clear rulebook, outside observers cannot fully replicate the math. There is no transparency.
2/7Image
Track AIPAC likes to market itself as a neutral watchdog brand, a digital transparency project shining light on campaign finance.

But follow the filings and the structure is clear. They have their own fundraising PAC, Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption.

The treasurer of that PAC, Casey Kennedy, is also the co-founder of Track AIPAC.
