A very interesting and informative interview by Mario Nawfal Posted by: Spark | Sep 23 2026 16:51 utc | 1 Question for everyone: do you consider the Iranian political class in NYC and talking to Trump’s Jews a positive or a negative? Posted by: Eoinw | Sep 23 2026 17:04 utc | 2
Solid cope. Sadly for America and the international fascist brigades, its not true. America is not in control, there are no secret smuggling routes and saying up is down over and over has diminishing returns. Posted by: Doctor Eleven | Sep 23 2026 17:10 utc | 3

Didn’t the MoU cover these conditions too? So where’s the MoU now?” But later corrects to the meeting not being officially sanctioned but part of leeway allowed to diplomats. Trade off between being reasonable and comprehensive vs compromising integrity or allowing use of the encounter for disinfo etc. Posted by: Ornot | Sep 23 2026 17:23 utc | 6 “Israeli media reported that the soldier injured in today’s ramming operation is the son of Israel’s ambassador to the United States, and that his condition is critical” TPO As stated, not verified. Posted by: Ornot | Sep 23 2026 17:27 utc | 7 Trump and Xi Jinping meet in The White House today. Posted by: golddigger | Sep 23 2026 17:40 utc | 8 I posted a long time back that if nukes are ever used it’ll be in Yemen or Iran where the Golden Billion have for near half a century been systematically indoctrinated so that when the time comes they’ll bleat in unison, “how awful, but they had it coming!” So, Trump shows up at the UN with an unhinged rant about there being no limits whatsoever to the use of US military power and no one in the hall boos, protests, or walked out, they just sat there. I’m right about the bleating, very much hope I’m wrong about the nukes.

Easy. Ukraine is wrecking Russia’s refineries. Between that and the sanctions on Russian oil, their former customers around the world are buying at record numbers from the US. Once the US bans diesel exports, the price will plummet. The rest of the world is screwed though.

And how subject the USA is to internal strife and hybrid war? Posted by: LightYearsFromHome | Sep 23 2026 20:31 utc | 34 @34 Posted by: paddy | Sep 23 2026 20:36 utc | 35 paddy @ 33

It is also notorious for its destruction of everything that symbolizes life in southern Lebanon. The unit has become known to the residents of Gaza and southern Lebanon as the “Death Squad.” For the first time since 2000, Unit 98 will be operating in the West Bank” Posted by: Ornot | Sep 23 2026 21:07 utc | 41 Large explosion reported in Hormuz.

Five depots have exploded recently in Syria. Posted by: Ornot | Sep 23 2026 21:16 utc | 42 “Reports of the explosion being unusually loud and close by Iranian residents near the Strait of Hormuz makes me think this is a U.S. strike against an Iranian vessel.

Transcript from the above YT at ~24min, kinda crazy, decide for yourselves, Pepe, and probably his posse, has a tendency to get out ahead of himself for a scoop, not that he’s making it up but he is susceptible to getting played.

Even by civilly exiting, the proper rules of decorum and the parliamentary procedure were maintained. no brute “speak hands for me”. not a grunt from King Og due to an unexpected Gift into his belly, or even fear of such. no Hells Angels were needed to keep the audience even by a single particle from rushing the stage.
