Do you believe in this entire discourse?
He states that from his credibly asian sources, that Israel planned to detonate tactical nuke mid air (EMP) to bring down Iran’s electric grid but got shot down/intercepted by Russian Air Force.
You will see no one covering this

pure fanfiction nonsense
Tell me more - who is “RealPepeEscobar” and why do we trust them?
No clue but he has been a guest sometimes at the geopolitical economy podcast hosted by hudson and radhika.
He mentions Sy Hersh in the tweet, lets see if he publishes something. Sy Hersh whistleblowed how the US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline.
Pepe is a weird fella, he has been a guest at Hudson/Desai podcast sometimes and does come off as a russian simp, even to me that i critically support Russia. So it might be entirely possible that this is just propaganda but then again he mentions Sy Hersh, i think we can say that he is a very trustable journalist.
If Sy Hersh confirms this, i will believe it. It is not unconceivable that Israel wanted to nuke them, or that they would hide the failure.
Edit: btw scott Ritter claims its wrong, Pepe answers it by doubling down, wtf is going on 🥶
there are still several unknowns. wouldn’t an operation like this involve more than one fighter, did the RAF shot down more than one? what are they even doing there in the first place?
I just want a single letter from Molotov, referenced in one of your other documents UN. How hard can it be?
This week had an extremely good start! 🇮🇷🇵🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧🇾🇪🇮🇶
I have been thinking about this incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–U.S._RQ-170_incident and how Obama’s imperialism and spying was the gift that gave us modern stealth Iranian drones.
The weather seems broken the past few days. Every day seems to contain every know season and weather condition. Rain, cold, then a warm sun, then thunder, hail, wind and storm. And then I have a headache all day because of seasonal allergies and thunderstorms combined.
Tips for engaging with the US Military
if they live by u, like on a base, this is some good stuff to do. I can’t confirm or deny if I or my friends have engaged in any of this:
-
feed them dog treats: u can dress up like ur handing out free samples at the mall, and give the service members dog treats. it’s pretty fun
-
pretend ur out of gas: this is my personal favourite. somewhere near base pretend to have run out of gas. eventually a bunch of jarheads will show up to help you push ur car, stay inside slightly riding the brake. they’ll keep trying, let them, but just like really wear them out. for a fun twist, start ur car after they get exhausted and drive away flipping them off
-
set up online dates with them and then don’t show up. this one’s just funny and obvious
-
send terrible Grindr guys to their room: only do this to bad guys on Grindr but this is also really funny

I think I’m finally doing this “touching grass” thing people talk about, I just got an e-bike a few days ago so I’m finally able to get out of the house in a meaningful capacity since I can’t drive and I’m horribly out of shape, this lets me get around to places I need to go somewhat comfortably on my own while still letting me get a decent amount of physical activity (certainly far more than the near-zero I got before)
I’ve done a few trips just for fun and it’s nuts just how much more you pay attention to and enjoy the environment compared to in a car, but today I did a grocery run and it was also very practical, I got a decent pannier bag I can clip to the bike that can be used as a shoulder bag or backpack and it holds a pretty decent amount
Very cool, outside time is a must, it helps in small ways for me I know. Anything better than zero is better, we all struggle to take care of ourselves. Victories add up. Props.
Pic goes hard
Anti-semitism was born out of the rejection of multiculturalism and diversity that jewish people brought to the different places they lived, a completely reactionary sentiment.
Now it is the israelis that reject multiculturalism and diversity! fucking reactionary shithole that place is, and they have the nerve to claim that they’re the real jews.
I think I have some guilt over going to Eurovision in Concert. I don’t regret it, but feel like I have to make up for it by going to pro-Palestine protests. I’ve added a few actions to my agenda
Never a bad idea to go to protests. Don’t beat yourself up for it too much, though.
Let’s say for argument’s sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isn’t “Israel” potentially biting off way more than they can chew?
I guess that depends on who would ally with Iran. I think Israël vs Iran would be somewhat of an even match, but a coalition between Iran and other (Arab) countries might be too much for them. But then again Israël has nukes so…
so far it seems the u.s. is happy to take advantage of the situation (iran), which isnt a good sign. another aspect is private contractors, which can apparently be deployed with less oversight. 😓
Other than nukes, here’s hoping isn’treal/US is too depleted to risk a confrontation with Iran. They’ve been careful with Hezbollah, so they must know they can’t handle Hezbollah + Iran simultaneously. But of course part of me wishes they’d go for it and collapse.
My guess is the rabid dog is going to do its rabid best, its going to cause horrible suffering more but, it is just accelerating its own demise, and I’m telling myself that this course of violent self destructive death throes will actually in the long term end up saving more innocent lives across the world.
Israel is completely fucked and irrational to the point that it can only be described as suicidal. The U.S. is too it just hasn’t entered its unbridled burning madness stage. How could you be the pinpoint of evil on humanity and not be suicidal after all.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
No, you! :3

raccoons these days have no respect smh
Counter argument raccoons are the best animal
that is a factually incorrect statement and thus I will disregard it
Raccoons are the true proletariat animal stealing from rich people and eating from trashcans
I’m not saying they’re not in the top 10 but claiming that the only clade of large semi-aquatic rodents is not number one and the vanguard of the revolution in South America is unacceptable in this community and may lead to harsh measures
you too comrade oppo 🫡
😊👍🏼
I did not make this picture but this is in the Netherlands (cringe)
Oh my , I thought it was turkiye for a second because how it looks . 🤣
At least it’s the beautiful hilly part of the country and not the ugly polder part
You too :D
⬆ Socotra Island in Yemen, occupied by the US military
Yesterday I was just thinking to myself I wonder if the US has occupied this island
I did a test to see which party I should vote on and the party that matches with my answers the most is… the Green party. Which is not my party lol.
I got green the last time I did it as well
Since becoming a socialist, my results for those tests have become very unpredictable, which shows you how unreliable they are. When I was a GroenLinks voter, the results for those tests would always be GroenLinks. Those tests don’t take anti-establishment thoughts in account
Really the only thing most of these tests seem to be good at is having people puzzled and/or laughing at their results.
