🧵 Since we seem to love maps here, a small geography question:
Why do we call it the “Middle East”?
The answer actually says quite a lot about who originally drew the maps.
One of the many costs in European and global security from the Iran war.
"American allies are watching in disbelief as the Pentagon reroutes weapon shipments to aid the Iran war, angry and scared that arms the U.S. demanded they buy will never reach them."

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS PRESS RELEASE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA FORMALLY LODGES PROTEST TO UN SECRETARY-GENERAL FOLLOWING CONDEMNABLE ATTACK ON GHANAIAN UNIFIL SOLDIERS AND DEMANDS FULL, IMMEDIATE, IMPARTIAL AND TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATIONS ACCRA, 7T™ MARCH, 2026 - The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Ghana formally lodged a protest with the United Nations following the attack on the Ghanaian Battalion serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in Southern Lebanon on 6" March 2026, which left two Ghanaian soldiers seriously injured. In the March 6, 2026 protest addressed to the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, the Government of Ghana has called for a full, immediate, impartial and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack on personnel deployed in the service of international peace and security. Ghana strongly condemns this attack and has further demanded that those responsible be identified and held accountable, as the attack constitutes a grave violation of international law, amounts to war crime and affronts the protections afforded to United Nations peacekeeping personnel. The Government of Ghana has further urged the United Nations to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of members of the Ghanaian contingent serving with UNIFIL, as well as all personnel serving under the Mission who, at great personal risk, make daily sacrifices in the service of humanity. The Government of Ghana assures our gallant soldiers that no effort shall be spared in pursuing justice and guaranteeing enhanced protection. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured and their loved ones. Ghana reaffirms its unwavering and longstanding commitment to United Nations peacekeeping operations and underscores that the safety and protection of peacekeeping personnel must remain paramount in the collective effort to maintain international pe…

The United States, which has placed the Gulf states in these difficult circumstances, must bear the economic consequences of its actions. It is only natural for the Gulf states to reconsider their previous investment agreements with it and to redirect their interests in a manner that preserves their security and stability. Major adventures always generate economic repercussions.

We stopped calling it "women's work," but we never stopped making it women's work. Today, women across the world spend 17% of their time on these domestic, unpaid tasks. Men? About 7%.
Just a little something to think about this International Women's Day.

We are urging strongly that Iran's statehood be preserved. We do not want to see a Syrian scenario here, but rather we want this state to become functional from within itself. And that is why I also appeal, both in Washington and in all talks with the Israeli government, to create the conditions as quickly as possible for this country to be stabilized, for it to get a democratically legitimized government, and for it to be able to continue to exist as a state. It is a country with over 90 million inhabitants, and we naturally also have a high self-interest in this in order to avoid new refugee flows from the region.
Finally someone mentions the upcoming refugee problem that I raised here about a week ago - this should’ve been considered BEFORE the strike.
