I see many comparing #UkraineCrisis with #Iraq 2003, when the US falsely claimed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
While, I am critical of Biden administration pushing panic button, I believe
this comparison is ludicrously wrong 1/
For a starter:
-Colin Powell’s claim about weapons of mass destruction was unproven.
-In the Ukraine case, satellite images are available for anyone to see.
Putin will not gather 100Ks of troops in winter for fun!
2/
Second:
It is Russia who is threatening #Ukraine, citing security concerns.
The US has made it clear it won’t send troops to Ukraine and has Zero appetite to go into a war.
The only threat Biden administration announced is “sanction”
That is a far cry from the Iraq scenario! 3/
Third:
Say what you like about the Biden administration, but to claim US is plotting or dragging #Russia into confrontation, ignore the simple fact that the West is already suffering as a consequence of panic.
Stocks tumbled, gas price rise.
Neither resemble #Iraq
4/
So in short, don’t let your anti-American prejudice blurs your logic.
The last thing US and West, amidst pandemic, rising inflation, is a war with #Russia

#Ukraine is NOT #Iraq

I am the generation who witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union, the transformation of many ex-Soviet countries into liberal democracies.
Now I witness the Western left deaf and mute to #UkraineCrisis; even defending Russia. 1/
Here is Britain’s #JeremyCorbyn openly blaming #NATO; not Russia for #UkraineCrisis.
The same dude who rant against Israel aggression, didn’t voice any support for the people of #Ukraine.
It is, as if the Russian bullying of Ukraine is halal. 2/
Here is Spain’s ruling party openly singing the previous national anthem of the Soviet Union, while #Putin threatening European frontiers.
How pathetic is that?

1/ The summit cements the strong trilateral relations in #EastMed and proves that their alliance in neither reactionary nor temporary.
It is also multi-modal with economic, political, and security aspects.
3/ As @YanniKouts said on @skynewsarabia this is the first time to have electricity link between Europe and Africa.
Also liquifying Cyprus gas will help ease EU dependency on Russian gas

شتان بين #محمد_صلاح و #ابوتريكة
كلاهما من ريف #مصر، ولكن الاول ذكائه جعله مواطن عالمي من الدرجه الاولي، والثاني سخر ذكائه لخدمه أيديولوجية ظلاميه تستغل عاطفه الناس.
هذا هو ابن #مصر #محمد_صلاح يسخر شهرته لخدمه الانسانيه.
في الوقت الذي يستخدم #ابوتريكة الانسانيه حجه ليكسب تعاطف رخيص من الجماهير
لو كان #ابوتريكة شجاع كان اعتذر عن التعليق علي المباراه من الاول واعترف بدوافعه الحقيقيه وهي الاحتجاج علي شراء #السعوديه نادي #نيوكاسل، ولكنه ككل اخوانجي جبان ويختبئ وراء ذرائع واهيه

Shame on @POTUS to go ahead and appoints pro-Mullahs @Rob_Malley as his envoy on #Iran.
What a disaster

#Biden has handed the keys of the levant and Yemen to the Mullahs
nytimes.com/2021/01/28/us/…
Yes, there is no better “for the Mullahs” to appoint their favourite man in DC.
Knowledge is dangerous when ideological outlook is in sync with American enemies.
Triumphant #Zarif, standing next to his Turkish FM,
sensed @POTUS’s soft approach
and laying his Mullahs masters terms and conditions.

#Lebanon’s #Tripoli is the poorest city in the #Mediterranean, with marginalised #Sunni population with reported of 80% uneducated, high unemployment, well before #BeirutBlast
No wonder the city’s youth had enough and protest against #lockdown
Thus far, one dead & 200+ injured
#Lebanon
Traditionally, the #Hariri’s Mustaqbel party is the patron of Sunnis, but thanks to Saad Hariri’s weak leadership, Sunnis, especially in #Tripoli, are now under the influence of Salafi sheikhs and even #Erdogan’s #Turkey

This is @POTUS’s first unwise FP decision, since his inauguration.
To put hold on F-35s sale to #UAE is an indirect sabotage of the #AbrahamAccords with #Israel.
Shame ... Shame.. Shame...

uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-puts-h…
Absolutely!
Why @POTUS wants to resurrect the Middle East problems of the Obama years?
#UAE #F35
Credit to @POTUS and @SecBlinken, Arabs are losing faith in peace. If the US continues with such approach, many youth will think Iran’s terror approach is what the US leadership prefers.
