Israel and America want the Kurds to join the fight in Iran Kurdish militias are weighing a risky bid to redraw their neighbour’s borders

America might be wary of putting its boots on the ground in Iran, but the Kurdish forces they have supported in northern Iraq are rushing rapidly to build up a force on their border

אפשר להסכים עם טראמפ שהרצוג הוא חרפה, אבל לא בגלל שהוא לא נותן חנינה לחלאה נתניהו, אלא מפני שלא זרק אותו מלכתחילה מכל המדרגות ומכיוון שימשיך למצוא דרך לחלץ את שליטו מידי שופטיו.

Opinion: Alberta needs to lead — not leave — Canada Alberta doesn't need to leave Canada. Alberta needs to lead Canada; to create jobs, attract investment, and build long-term prosperity.

“It’s tempting to think we’d be better off on our own. But every day this separatist conversation continues, Alberta loses ground where it matters most: investment, jobs, and economic growth.”

Landed in Canberra to meet with Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social.

This is the first bilateral visit by a Canadian PM to Australia in two decades. In a more uncertain world, we turn to our long-standing partners who share our values and our ambition to build.

Neither Spain nor France, nor any other "international law" aficionados have done anything over the years to protect Iranians from their oppressors.

Had France used its overwhelming military superiority against Germany in the thirties, today's France would have called it a breach of international law, too.

There are good reasons to question the wisdom of the Trump regime and Israel's current attack on Iran, but to allow the murderous Iranian gang the protection of international law is disgusting and baseless.

Those countries that now call the attack on Iran as illegal according to international law have all, at one time or another ignored it when it came to their interests.

The modern concept of international law may be wonderful in theory, but, in practice, it has been no more than an empty shell trampled on by every country as it saw fit.

Trump and Netanyahu attacked the Iranian regime because the Iranian state was already wrecked and no one could stop them.

It's not that deep.
