THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT WE'RE AT WAR WITH IRAN
Fucking, Tucker Carlson, just did some of the best journalism I've ever seen by asking simple questions. He's still a massive piece of shit but...god damn. Gotta respect this.

It's still easier to deal with them than with Trump I think. that said, almost all of EU leaders are proto-fascists. They feel inspired by Trump because they see an easy way to keep the power for themselves and they are greedy. They'd sell their kids for a minute of power and a gold coin.
That said, EU is really close to follow the US faith. They are now starting to do roundups on immigrants amongst others liberty infringements and carefully destroying the rule of law.
Completely different topic for once :
Venetian beads dated before Colombus "discovered" America were found in Alaska... the theory is that they got here following a continental route and then crossed from Siberia to Alaska.
A Bead Too Far: Rethinking Global Connections Before Columbus
As a historian of exchange, I am conscious that goods that travel long-distances, are shiny or unusual get all the glory: a lot of history is mundane, low-key and local.

The Europeans presented America like a new found land so they could unscrupulously exploit, evangelize and colonize.
Fact is that America always has been linked to Eurasia, and I'm not talking Vikings from the tenth century, but Siberian people.
Again, Europeans have written history at their own advantage...

Now that everyone is looking at Iran :
An IDF tank fired one shot over Gaza civilians trying to get food at an aid site. 59 dead.
Mods, I'm sorry for the double post but this I think this is different enough to split into two posts.
The Annexation of the West Bank Is Complete | Jasper Nathaniel
The Western media remains largely oblivious to the bureaucratic coup redrawing the map of the West Bank. Annexation, for all intents and purposes, is complete.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if there's a term for a country keeping people Apart based on race or religion as they attempt to Hide from missile bombardments

‘Not for you’: Israeli shelters exclude Palestinians as bombs rain down
Shelters are a lifeline in Israel from Iranian attacks, but Palestinian citizens of the country have been locked out.

Apparently, poor Jews have also been excluded from the shelters...
To be clear, "new residents" are people that were rich enough to be able to leave all they had in Europe or the US (mostly) and start a new life in Israel.
Most Jewish living here prior to the creation of Israel are poorer than the "new residents" and most of them are anti-zionists, like the Ashkenazi Haredi Jews of Mea Shearim.

That's pretty common in fascist countries. But I would bet a big percentage of those poor people are so-called "Mizrahi Jews". As in ethnic Arabs, Africans, or Iranians who happen to be Jewish. They have faced massive amounts of discrimination since Israel's founding.
Mizrahi Jews in Israel faced decades of injustice, and still vote extreme right

Itamar Ben-Gvir - Wikipedia
Ben Gvir is their current National Security minister. He's also the leader of the (I shit you not) "Jewish Power Party".
This dude's a massive racist piece of shit when talking about Palestinians or other Arabs. He's literally Iraqi!

I think what you are describing is the premise of a "Dirty Bomb". If Iran had one how sophisticated are their ICBM capabilities to deliver?
