I updated a piece I wrote on a live discussion that I produced alongside @InesP4F on #AI #AIart️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️, 3 years ago in light of Pope Leo’s wise words, Woody slop open.substack.com/pub/manick…

Are we living in some kind of completely insane alternate reality? “UK, France, Germany, Italy ready to lift Iran sanctions after US-Iran deal, say Iran can ‘never’ get bomb” timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…

"Trump and his team, in record time, just lost a war to a militarily mediocre—but nonetheless extremely dangerous—adversary," @RadioFreeTom argues. theatln.tc/S4UnNxgt

Trump rushed into this confrontation aggressively without calculating the real cost. Now he’s rushing to get out of it without understanding the cost of backing down. He’s making the same mistake twice: first underestimating the enemy, and now underestimating how much credibility America is losing by appearing weak and desperate.

Very poorly researched, are you're writers not educated anymore? If that's the case, then Sikh Jatts are closer to Hindus but no known issues there? Huge difference in crime rates between Muslims & Sikhs. 2 Sikhs in rape gangs but 1000s of Muslims. Also you...

It is disastrous deal for the WHOLE region and more importantly it is disastrous for the Iranian people

It is not just Gad Saad, all the anti-Islam brigade are silent about Trump’s capitulation to the Islamic Republic. Ranting against the Prophet of Islam who died 1400 years ago is easy; standing against the Western appeasement, especially from the most powerful Western leader now— is not! #Iran #Irandeal #Trump

Literally all of the objectives of this war were not met — thanks to Steve Witkoff and JD Vance. None of these have been achieved: - No (‼️) nuclear enrichment - Removal of all enriched materials - Destruction of the nuclear facilities - Disarming Hamas - Disarming Hezbollah - Ending proxy terror funding - Ballistic missile program reduction - Assistance for the Iranian people And of course, no commitments on human rights and no repercussions for the slaughter of over 40k Iranians in January by the regime. Even with the military successes, this is an embarrassment for the United States and sets a terrible precedent. The iranian economy is in free fall due to the blockade — but Steve Witkoff and JD Vance intervened to save the regime and Donald Trump went with it.

There is no factual way to spin this. Trump failed.

He betrayed the Iranian people, undermined our national security, wasted billions all to get us back to where we were before. I wanted him to succeed and he objectively, massively failed.

A tale in three parts. Analysis to follow on Substack tomorrow, but for this evening, my thoughts are with the people of Iran and the families of those murdered by the regime.

When Israeli Prime Minister 'Iron Lady' Golda Meir met Pope Paul VI on 15 January 1973, he criticized the state of Israel. In response, PM Golda said: "Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers."

Rachel Reeves's deputy admits it - Labour are funding more benefits on the backs of students. The interest rate on student loans is a scam. But Labour would rather rip off hardworking graduates to pay for more welfare than fix it. That tells you everything about their priorities. Conservatives have clear plan: stop the student loan scam by cutting real interest rates on Plan 2 loans, saving graduates thousands. Find out more ⬇️ stopthestudentloanscam.com

Those idiots deserve what they got, but my greater contempt is reserved for the propaganda agents like Polanski, Owen Jones, Mehdi Hassan and all the others who pushed the Gaza genocide hoax for clicks and conned these people into throwing their futures away.

They were sentenced for the crimes they committed, NOT crimes they hadn't, however, like ALL convicted criminals, when it comes to sentencing, mitigating &/or aggravating factors are always taken into account. At least know the basics before posting & showing your ignorance.

Anyone else notice they keep posting images of the jailed Palestine Action terrorists holding pet animals to make them look homely & cuddly. Far better to post images of them using a sledgehammer to smash the spine of a police officer. After all - this is why they are in jail.

I guess this is one of the drawbacks to being a violent criminal

We are living in increasingly febrile, dangerous times. Palestinianism rots people’s brains. Violent assault is not ‘protesting to save lives’. NOT A SINGLE LIFE HAS BEEN SAVED BY PALESTINE ACTION. If they do anything at all, it is encourage more war, more death.

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with. Prison is where they belong. Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.
