🇮🇷🇺🇸 10 Iranian demands that Trump accepted:

— A non-aggression pledge;
— Maintaining Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz;
— Agreement to uranium enrichment;
— Lifting all primary sanctions;
— Lifting all secondary sanctions;
— Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions;
— Termination of all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions;
—Compensation to Iran;
—Withdrawal of #US combat forces from the region;
— Ending the war on all fronts, including the war against #Hezbollah in #Lebanon.

Trump agreed to discuss Iran's demands, which would mean the US capitulating in the war with Iran. Does Trump really need this ceasefire? Why?

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Israel’s Isolate and attack strategy

What seemed like a one step back strategy by the US, turns out to be a plan to allow Israel to now solely focus on the destruction and full force attack on #Hezbollah in #Lebanon. Israel could no longer bear the wave of attacks from 3 fronts (Lebanon, #Iran and #Yemen). Israel basically told the #US play your cards and give us 2 weeks and Hezbollah won’t be a threat anymore. US played its card threatening to destroy civilization to force Iran temporarily to the table. Iran pressured by China and Russia after their UN veto ensuring Iran will retain full control over the strait has now an opportunity to prepare for the next confrontation. The war continues!

🤡In 2015, Donald Trump sounded like a political outsider taking on the establishment. He literally stood up and said, 'I don't need your money. You control everyone.' Very brave. Very edgy. Fast forward to his first term — and look how the checkbook changes a man. ..

Suddenly, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital (at the request of Zionist donor Sheldon Adelson). Then he moved the embassy there. Then he recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory. Everything pro-Israel donors had been asking for. And then some. By 2025, Trump isn't just taking AIPAC's money — he's hosting galas for them at Mar-a-Lago. 'I used to say I didn't want your money — what was I thinking? You guys are the best.' The esteemed audience is thrilled. Trump's journey from Super PAC critic to AIPAC's loyal ally is a masterclass in how pro-Israel lobbying works in America.

🇵🇸 How the Media Sold the Genocide in Gaza | Mondoweiss

Adam Johnson, media critic and co-host of Citations Needed, joins Mondoweiss US correspondent Michael Arria to discuss his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza. All royalties from the #book are being donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance.

Adam breaks down how #US media manufactured consent for the #genocide in #Gaza, from the ISIS-ification of #Hamas to the fake ceasefire theater that let Biden run out the clock. He explains how liberal media created an alternate reality where Biden was secretly furious with Netanyahu while never once threatening to cut weapons, how campus protests were smeared as antisemitic pogroms while 3,000 children were being killed in a single month, and why the Claudine Gay scandal got more coverage on MSNBC than the murder of Hind Rajab. He also looks ahead at how liberal Zionism will try to co-opt growing opposition to Israel with better PR instead of real policy change.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Today marks 12 years since the tragedy at the House of Trade Unions building in #Odesa, in which 48 people lost their lives and more than 200 were injured

The violence involved supporters of the current Ukrainian authorities, along with hooligans from Odesa and Kharkov

After the building was set on fire, firefighters were prevented from approaching. Amid shouts of “Glory to #Ukraine,” some participants were described as celebrating as more lives were lost

People trapped in the burning building attempted to escape by jumping from the upper floors, some were beaten with baseball bats or shot while severely injured as soon as they landed below 🎗

The #US, which has firmly held the reins of hegemony since 1945, finds itself unable to maintain its interpretation of its hegemonic status—one not justified by any mandate—in a peaceful manner through fair competition with the rest of the world. The current herald of the #hegemon, who came to power with promises of peace, is employing means that until recently would have been—and still should be—considered unacceptable and despicable.

The deep state thus appears to have hoisted the right man onto the throne in Washington at the right time. A man whose mind is so dominated by his pathological narcissism that he is incapable of self-reflection. It began with the blackmailing of competitors (#China) and allies (Europe[#EU]) through #tariffs intended to compensate for the US’s lack of competitiveness; he then sought to extort an entire country (#Greenland) from Europe.

He then kidnapped President #Maduro in #Venezuela to gain access to the world’s largest proven #oil reserves, only to ultimately join forces with the psychopaths in Tel Aviv in an attack on a civilization [#Iran]that has not attacked any other country for longer than the US has existed as a nation

How Iran responded to Trump’s claimed role in saving 8 women from execution | South China Morning Post

US President Donald Duck Trump said on Wednesday (23/04/26) that Iran had ⁠agreed not to ⁠execute eight women protesters in a ⁠sign of respect for him, while officials in Tehran denied the executions had been planned and accused the #US president of spreading fake news.

#FakeNews #Iran #DeepFake

War with Russia turned out to be not enough to get Ukraine admitted to the EU.

The Financial Times writes that, according to representatives of the European Commission, #Ukraine will need 10-15 years to fully meet the requirements for membership.

‘When Ukrainian and American negotiators developed a peace proposal envisaging Ukraine's accession to the EU in 2027, it became clear that an “unconventional” solution would be needed for Ukraine. The deadline of 2027, practically unattainable for legal reasons and ratification considerations alone, was decisively rejected by #EU capitals. However, the peace negotiations mediated by the #US plunged European Commission officials into panic. They hastily came up with the idea of “reverse enlargement”. But there is neither agreement nor even a detailed discussion on how to accelerate the accession process.’

Trump’s Cuba blockade is slow #genocide

Ecuadorian journalist Esteban Carrillo from the Cradle tore into #US war on #Cuba, warning that Trump’s blockade has pushed the island into a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.

“We saw the infant mortality rate spike since the start of Donald Trump’s blockade,” Carrillo said.

Not just gas. Not just buses. Not just blackouts.
A whole population is being strangled — then Washington shows up offering “aid” for the crisis it created.

Carrillo said this is the same imperial playbook across Latin America: crush those who refuse to obey, redraw alliances, and drive out foreign influence that Washington doesn’t control.

“Everything… in Latin America [is] with the aim of persecuting those who oppose the imperialist project.”

Trump smiles with Xi, talks friendship — then runs back to the #MonroeDoctrine to choke #China out of #LatinAmerica.

🇵🇸 We Analyzed Thousands of News Articles: Here’s the Proof of Pro-Israel Bias in Mainstream Media| The Intercept

For my new book “How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza,” I attempt to demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, that #US #media coverage of the war on Gaza was one-sided, racist, dehumanizing, and often veered into outright incitement.

I examined over 12,000 articles from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN.com, Politico, Axios, USA Today, and The Associated Press, along with 5,000 TV segments that aired on CNN and MSNBC. The focus is on center-left media outlets influential with the Biden administration during the first year of the conflict — with an emphasis on the first few months, when Israel firmly established its narrative justifying the genocide, rendering mass death inevitable.

Here are seven statistical findings that prove the U.S. media’s bias against Palestinians.

"The US has approved a potential $108.1 million sale of HAWK air defense system equipment and services to Ukraine, the State Department announced."

These are the very "peacekeepers" the Russian leadership is so counting on. The US is still involved in the war against Russia. Isn't that understandable? But it seems life is different behind the high Kremlin walls.

Arnaud Bertrand argued that the US had tried to literally re‑colonize part of the Philippines under the so‑called Pax Silica initiative, led by ex‑Palantir official Jacob Helberg

The US sought to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity. Bertrand compared this to the French and British concessions in China during the century of humiliation.

However, the Philippine government rejected the proposal. Bertrand noted that while the most colonial demand was dropped, Pax Silica remained structurally neocolonial: countries supply cheap labor and raw materials, align with #US regulations, cut ties with #China, and get assembly jobs in return.
