How can any of the GCC states see us a safe or reliable partner now. We kicked over a hornet nest in their backyard and we’ve been stung repeatedly. Logical choice is for these nations to seek more stable global partners.
U.S. presence and credibility in the region will be fundamentally damaged by this war, regardless of what the outcome in Iran may be (and a favourable outcome is far from assured)
A dilettante professional dinner guest whose dined out for decades on his “princely” title. His only claim comes via a defunct hereditary monarchy so incompetent and unpopular that it created space for an even more brutal theocracy in what was then one of the most secular countries in the region.
In case you need more proof that this guy is a joke.
The American embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own trying to escape this shambolic war. Incredible sign of national weakness.
The funniest possible outcome is that do “regime change” by toppling the King of Bahrain
There you go… bsky.app/profile/edda...
Targeting British troops in Cyprus and the French naval position in Abu Dhabi was incredibly foolish. Americans are further from our allies than at any time since the Iraq war and the IRGC has drawn them closer together.
I’m agreeing with Rudy Giuliani, what a time to be alive.
AfD works hand in glove with the Kremlin. kyivindependent.com/media-ukrain...
LOL
Wow. They didn’t even warn their fascist friends. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
The results of Russia and Iran collaborating on shahed drone development (using Ukraine as a testing ground).
I won’t mourn him, but I’d also like to hear this from someone other than the Israeli foreign ministry before I believe it.
Axis of least resistance… www.reuters.com/world/russia...
Pointless illegal war with unclear objectives you say?
Here we go.
Positively Russian levels of incompetence.
I’m no fan of what the regime has done to muzzle and dismantle VOA, but Pahlavi is a professional dinner party guest and his role in the Iranian opposition is dubious at best. He shouldn’t be ignored but many Americans overweight him because of his title.
I read this entire excellent oped before realizing it was written by Chrystia Freeland. The Canadians will save the world.
“Although America still sets the world’s mood music, President Trump’s relatively narrow victory over Vice President Kamala Harris should not be understood as a secular or global shift toward the extreme right by the populace itself.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/o...
Even odds he’ll use this fake threat to postpone elections. His polling must be nuclear. theukrainianreview.info/orban-orders...
Obviously fake, but why not? Give Kyiv one tactical nuke and let’s see if the Kremlin and their Vatnik buddies in Budapest and Minsk reconsider. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...
I mean, probably not, but I do think neo-Ottomanism is an underrated force in geopolitics in a world where the U.S. is effectively defunct as a superpower. www.turkishminute.com/2026/02/24/n...
Having a Chicago Pope is working out better than I ever imagined. Give him back the Papal States frankly.
In retrospect, it was a mistake for the EU framers not to create a mechanism for involuntary expulsion from the bloc, but suspension would create enough pressure for Orban to article 50.
If Orban is reelected (legitimately) it would be a pretty clear indication that Hungarians have chosen Moscow over Europe, instant article 7 invocation. www.politico.eu/article/hung...
This guy is just pathetic.
