FoolishBoy419:It is unlikely that Trump would agree to that. 3 weeks ago Trump declared himself as the one who brought "peace to the middle east after 3000 years" so it will be difficult for him to destroy that "peace" at the moment cause he knows Israel can not deal with Iran alone unless US joins the war fully which would amount to a full blown war in the region. Though Netanyahu could go ahead and do it unilaterally thinking US would always come to Israel's aid. Let's see what happens. |

⚡Trump on Iran: Now, I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we’re going to have to knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them, but hopefully that’s not happening. I heard Iran wants to make a deal. If they want to make a deal, that’s much smarter.

⚡Trump: I hope Netanyahu is going to get along with Syria because the new President of Syria is working very hard to do a good job, he really is. I know he’s a tough cookie. And, you know, you’re not going to get a choir boy to lead Syria. I dropped the sanctions on Syria, because otherwise they wouldn’t have had a chance. We want to see Syria survive. |

Scorpio99:I would love to address most of the points you raised but I have a lot on my hands right now so I will pick a few then maybe come over time to address others. First off the modern day terrorism was sowed, nurture to what it is today. While word of mouth will only lead to a back and forth which will never end, I will leave you some link to back up the claim. In the 1980s, the US government hired The University of Nebraska's Center for Afghanistan Studies to produce, print and distribute millions of textbooks in Afghanistan. They emphasized themes of religious war and violence against the Soviets. They remained in wide circulation until the mid-2000s. https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/1cfvl7j/in_the_1980s_the_us_government_hired_the/ It is those work above that brought about all qaeda which later metamorph into different group. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/03/23/from-us-the-abcs-of-jihad/d079075a-3ed3-4030-9a96-0d48f6355e54/ https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-mar-27-la-na-afghanistan-studies28-2010mar28-story.html Also don't forget names like Benjamin efraim who was one several mossad agent caught working as recruiter for isis. Do research on a lot of mossad agent with isis and other group across the Muslim world like Egypt, libia, Iraq, Iran sometimes targeting their own people and business just to drive a narrative. I read how shekau was operating outside sambisa for years and it occurs to he must not be working alone, he is just the puppet. You said the Venezuela issue is because of drug lol. Venezuelas problem started when the US backed opposition failed to secure power so they are trying to forcefully oust Maduro. Most of the big players in the energy field especially oil can easily shift the world economic and energy balance. A close friend of the US will always do want they want in other words keep the oil flowing. Maduro closeness to China and Russia doesn't sit well the US so he couldn't be removed via the box, then there comes the sanctions. The sanctions did cripple Venezuela economically, but did not break Maduro and recently China became the biggest buyer oil Venezuelas oil since majority of the buyers are afraid of the US but China. China saw an opportunity because since no one buys the oil, they now get it at a big discount. Infact China recently invested a whooping $1 billion for deal that span years. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/floating-oil-facility-arrives-venezuela-china-concords-project-sources-say-2025-09-04/ So you see the beef. Did you know during the 1964 Egypt and Israel war which the US supported, the then king Faisal of Saudia Arabia protested the war buy cutting oil supply which cause severe global energy and assassinated thereafter. My post about the US is not about hate it is how they run their empire. They are not the first empire neither are they going to be the last and each empire has the they operate. |

⚡Trump: We do have an understanding regarding Syria. I respect the new Syrian President. He’s a very strong guy, and that’s what you need in Syria. He’s a strong guy. We get along with him. He’s been with us all the way. We had that mishap with ISIS, and he was with us all the way. I hope Israel and him will get along. I will try and make it so that they do get along. I think they will.

⚡The Venezuelan Company Primazol claims the cause of the fire at a facility that burnt down on Christmas Eve was not attack or sabotage, painting the info as unfounded rumors. On the same evening, in the same area, President Trump says the U.S. destroyed a drug boat loading facility. Primazol fits the type of corporation that might be used to supply chemicals for drug production, but has never been sanctioned or even mentioned by the U.S. Treasury or State Department. There are no credible leaks, corporate registries, or investigative reports (e.g., from OCCRP, InSight Crime, or Venezuelan NGOs) that link Primazol’s owners or executives to Tren de Aragua or the Cartel de los Soles network.

Civil unrest in Iran, fueled by a worsening economic crisis, is spreading rapidly across multiple cities. The regime is increasingly alarmed. As always, the ayatollahs face two clear choices: abandon their destructive obsession with Israel and nuclear weapons and redirect national resources toward the welfare of their people, or continue sacrificing their own citizens on the altar of jihadist ideology. Regrettably, the outcome is entirely predictable. |

Israel is closely monitoring the Houthis’ renewed military buildup; the issue is expected to be raised during the Trump–Netanyahu meeting. A senior security official said the defense establishment has advised the political echelon not to allow the Houthis to complete another phase of military rearmament. Last night, the Houthi leader warned that any Israeli presence in Somaliland would be regarded as a “legitimate military target.” |

Tammy Bruce at UNSC emergency meeting on ISRAEL'S recognition of Somaliland: "Israel has the same right to conduct diplomatic relations as any other sovereign state. Earlier this year, several countries — including members of this council — made the unilateral decision to recognize a non-existent Palestinian state, yet no emergency meeting was called to express this council’s outrage. This council’s persistent double standards and focus distract from its mission of maintaining international peace and security.“

Blakjewelry:I would have loved to respond to every single part of this claim at once but I will be doing it in bits. This one is particularly to put to bed the fallacy about the textbooks produced by the US which is claimed to be the source of the formation of terror groups. First, (my weakest argument), I checked out the reddit post and discovered just two images of the so called textbook (image attached). I see elements suggesting violence such as using guns and grenades to depict counting. But at the same time, there are also images of cup, umbrella and pencils there as well also used to depict counting. While you many say it is not appropriate to use images of guns and grenades in children's books, other images of cups, pencils and umbrellas makes it difficult to prove that the intent was to instill violence. Second (my strongest argument), it is good to cross check historical facts with arguments in order to arrive at something tangible. The Afghan Mujahideens had been fighting against the Soviets since 1979. Let's remember that Osama bin Laden joined the Mujahideens in 1979 prior to which he was studying in Saudi Arabia. Therefore it is safe to say that the books claimed had no effect whatsoever on the formation of Al Qaeda because it was a split off from the Afghan Mujahideens when they started seeing themselves in collaboration with the Taliban as the one and only true Islamic caliphate which is inherent in every Muslim struggle. Take for instance, Boko haram, iswap, lakurawa whatever.... Now, let's go back to the Afghan Mujahideens, who happen to be the source of everything. The Mujahideen rebelled against the Afghan communist government (PDPA) and the invading Soviet Union because the Marxist regime, supported by the USSR, brutally suppressed dissent, persecuted religious leaders, implemented unpopular land reforms, and threatened traditional Afghan society. The above is a fact of communism. In short, the Mujahideens wanted a society governed by the pure rules of Islam. Strictly speaking, if the Soviets didn't go there with their communism, there wouldn't have ever been the rise of the Mujahideens, and subsequently no splinter groups like Al Qaeda would have ever emerged. Now, the interesting part.. the Mujahideens struggle against the Afghan and Soviet government started shortly after the April 1978 Revolution. The US started supporting them in 1979!!!!. Bear in mind also that it wasn't only the US that supported them but also Pakistan, China, Iran as well as other states of the Persian gulf that included countries like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, UAE etc. HOW DID AL QAEDA BEGIN!!!. Remember that Osama bin Laden wasn't initially part of the Afghan Mujahideens but joined them in 1979. Towards the withdrawal of the soviet union in Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden wanted something different and started seeing the Taliban as the only group with the right ideology to govern Afghanistan. Like I said earlier, this ideology is inherent in every Muslim struggle. It existed since the time of the caliphs (the assassination of the caliphs by fellow Muslims). Violence is ingrained in islam. Each group always see their own version as the right version and will do anything (kill) to achieve it. Did the US also wrote books for the assassination of their caliphs? Osama furthermore wanted something beyond Afghanistan. Let's simply say an international Islamic caliphate. This led to internal fractures within the Mujahideen. He then took Afghan Arabs and formed the Al Qaeda. Subsequently, multiple factions started breaking off. In short, those books claimed never caused the creation of Al Qaeda. While you may be correct as far as intent is concerned, those books never achieved the aim they were created for (assuming the intent is to instill violence). Al Qaeda was simply a breakaway group that wanted something different. Secondly, those books were written in Dari and Pashto. There is no record of Osama speaking any of these languages. So, he didn't understand the content of the books even if he came across them. Lastly, those books if intent to bring up the fire of violence is proven is undoubtedly targeted towards the younger generation not to the generation of Osama bin Laden. Thus, it is impossible for those books to have caused the creation of Al Qaeda. I will leave you with a question for thought. Since multiple countries supported the Mujahideens, why did Al Qaeda focus their enmity on US and the west. The answer is simple: A clash of ideology simply between the larger group of Mujahideens as a whole. The initial Afghan Mujahideens had no problems with the US and the west but Al Qaeda definitely did because the US and west were seen as Infidels.

⚡Saudi Arabia accuses the UAE of dangerous actions in eastern Yemen, says they threaten Saudi national security, and warns it will respond to any red-line violations. Riyadh calls on the UAE to withdraw ALL forces from Yemen within 24 hours and halt military and financial support to Yemeni factions, while reaffirming support for Yemen’s unity and a political solution.

⚡Saudi airstrikes hit Yemen’s Mukalla Port, targeting ships from the UAE carrying armored vehicles and weapons for UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) separatists. Tensions between Saudi-backed and UAE-backed forces have escalated sharply after pro-UAE forces seized large parts of eastern Yemen, ignoring Saudi warnings and even a recent warning airstrike.

Blakjewelry:The mere fact that something is written as an article on the internet doesn't make it a fact or truth as you would like to call it. In fact, the only thing that is worthy of being given some sort of credibility for mere existence on the internet are academic research and that is because they most times have received some sort of appraisal and also link to other sources to justify their claim. This is about Benjamin Efraim. Still another unsubstantiated report!!. I found many more just that I am posting these two. I am not saying anything definitive about him and as you can see, we have both arrived at different reports regarding Benjamin Efraim.

Blakjewelry:It's like you don't understand my post about Venezuela and Maduro. Let me put it in very easy language. If I covet your wife and you are a thief. I can send you to prison for being a thief and thereafter have your wife. People can say all sorts about me being a bad person and sending you to prison because I want your wife. The question is whether I sent you to prison for illegality or not. It isn't peculiar to America, it is the way of the world. For Maduro to have anything credible against US, he first of all needs to have his hands clean on drugs!!!! Without it, you are simply giving an enemy a point to attack. It's the way of the world, not peculiar to the US. |
