Stati Uniti e Israele sostengono che il regime degli ayatollah - che non fa mistero del suo obiettivo di distruggere lo Stato ebraico - fosse a un passo dalla creazione di armi nucleari. Allo stesso tempo, Israele stesso è considerato una potenza nucleare.

Kyrgyzstan is ready to challenge the EU in court if the bloc imposes sanctions on the Central Asian state over its alleged exports to Russia, in the first big test of Brussels’ ability to prevent key equipment leaking through its sanctions regime.

Kyrgyzstan prepares to take EU to court over Russia sanctions
Central Asian country says it is ready to act if it is hit with secondary sanctions over alleged exports to RussiaPolina Ivanova (Financial Times)
yeah, see you in court. Until then, sanctions
But seriously, I think these states are now in an economical trap; they can't afford not to trade with Russia, while they can't afford breaking chains with the West either. They are at a wrong place at a wrong time
Trump was elected to end all wars.
Then he attacked Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and now Iran; but Iran does not count, because that attack is only to help the people replace the regime… until Pete Hegseth said it was not about that at all, and Trump began negotiating with… the regime.
But at least Trump is not risking World War 3, because so far, this war has only dragged in Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and the UK.

Remember when I said that there's a hard limit to what #Trump can do to Venezuela because no way will even #MAGA go for a new ground war? It's just as true as he flails and tries to have a war in #Iran.
If you can't see the link, it's a huge compilation of hardcore MAGAs turning on Trump over the prospect of another ground war. This ain't 2003.
If you can see this, be forewarned, these are still not good people and they still say ugly shit too.

after the company announced that it would not partner with the U.S. defense department.
Anthropic said it was not able to agree on the deal terms over concerns that AI would be used to surveil Americans and be used in fully autonomous weaponry, which AI is not yet ready to do safely.

Even Fox News is now admitting hard truths about the state of Trump’s economy. We talked to a chronicler of right-wing media who explains how all this is straining his propaganda apparatus to the breaking point.The New Republic
"Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a new iteration of the ongoing Contagious Interview campaign, where the North Korean threat actors have published a set of 26 malicious packages to the npm registry.
The packages masquerade as developer tools, but contain functionality to extract the actual command-and-control (C2) by using seemingly harmless Pastebin content as a dead drop resolver and ultimately drop a developer-targeted credential stealer and remote access trojan. The C2 infrastructure is hosted on Vercel across 31 deployments.
The campaign, tracked by Socket and kmsec.uk's Kieran Miyamoto is being tracked under the moniker StegaBin.
"The loader extracts C2 URLs steganographically encoded within three Pastebin pastes, innocuous computer science essays in which characters at evenly-spaced positions have been replaced to spell out hidden infrastructure addresses," Socket researchers Philipp Burckhardt and Peter van der Zee said."

"Although it’s uncomfortable to do so, the ineffectiveness of our mass institutions and forms needs to be recognized and faced head on. There is an unfortunate tendency on the left—as there is to all movements out of power—to sloganeer instead of taking a hard look at the actual power constellation of our society. But this is precisely what we need to do.
So, what have the last twenty years demonstrated?
The rich can get richer and the poor can get poorer without there being a serious reaction; people are as a whole unwilling to put their lives on the line for politics.
Congress largely has abandoned its role in war-making.
The “voice” provided by social media is largely an illusion when it comes to affecting those who wield real power, while the mass media is more interested in circuses than in informing.
There is not a clear link between popular protest and political reform.
Those who control the Democratic Party feel no compunction to listen to their supposed constituents.
For the moment, at least, capitalism has won, and its victory is totalizing.
You don’t need that many people to control and run the US Empire effectively.
Of course, I do not wish to imply that the above realities are eternal. Humans, as Marx rightly said, make their own histories (even if, as he added, we don’t make them as we please).
We live in a grim era where morbid symptoms abound. Our goal for the next decade must be to change that, and the only way to do so is to identify the present constellation of power in our society and strategize accordingly.
If we do not, we will all continue to suffer."

Step 4: Keep bombing that nation because they have now "started" a war by retaliating
