The Political Thread

Yea, but that doesn't count because it's antisemitic.

Fun fact: Palestine was a country before Israel existed.

No, it was a British Mandate called Mandatory Palestine.

[Barry Poppins]

Yeah because the region is known as Palestine, where the Palestinians (Philistines) lived for thousands of years in separate states as the ancient Canaanites before the Isrealites conquered the territory.

...at this point are stories like these even "news" anymore.

Fun Fact: 6 Million wiped of the planet. Can't blame all Jewish faith for an incompetent asshole right wing government. Not all Jews belive in killing kids for sport .

That wasn't my point but also going "Oh but the Holocaust" is a complete non-sequiter.

Wasn't mine. All im saying is all Jewish faith dont agree with the etnic cleansing of Palestine its a fucking disgrace, that whole Jewish government needs to go the court of human rights . I think your one of the best on here Barry But I read what you said wrong and im man enough to say it. Your historical knowledge is so damn impressive.

We want peace and no more of this horrendous shit for palenstian people. We need U.S support but until we get a moderate P.M in Israel and U.S this won't stop and its split all of Jewish faith in a thousand pieces . Brakes my heart and my families. My Gran would be turning in grave. I condone any violence and we support democracy not nationalist government. We here in the UK condemn this and wish Trump would fuckimg stop B.N bit never happened... tide was turning so bombing Iran has gave him and his government a little time, which we so don't need .

U.S. president Donald Trump orders the deployment of two United States Navy nuclear submarines near Russia for potential military action against Russian forces, in response to statements made by Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, regarding Trump's previously-stated deadline for ending the war in Ukraine.

BREAKING: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, says it will close down after federal cuts.

I hate this Man with every fiber of my being. I grew up with PBS and to see it on death's Door is a bummer to hear. Mr.Rogers fought to have PBS on TV and have funding and they are stomping on the legacy of the positives PBS did and has done educating people especially Children.

I don't blame you. Arthur was my childhood. Plus they have Antiques Roadshow, which I watched from the year I was born in 2001 to around 2022.

I didn't mind him in his first term. But he is getting way out of control. Trump is just ruining this nation. With him having nuclear submarines near Russia, we must prepare for a possible nuclear war.

• Armenia–Azerbaijan relations, 2025 Washington D.C. Peace Summit on Armenia–Azerbaijan
  • The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan plan to sign a joint declaration at the White House on Friday, committing to a peace deal facilitated by the Trump administration that would end nearly four decades of conflict between the two countries. (CNN)
  • Armenia agrees to award the U.S. exclusive special development rights on the Zangezur corridor land for 99 years. The U.S. would sublease the land to a consortium that will develop rail, oil, gas and fiber optic lines, and possibly electricity transmission, along the 27-mile corridor. The corridor will be called the TRIPP – the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity. (Politico)
  • A U.S. official tells Axios that the main goal of the United States in this development project is to reduce the influence of Iran, Russia, and China in the South Caucasus region. The corridor would allow people and goods to travel between Turkey and Azerbaijan and beyond to Central Asia without passing through Iran or Russia. (Axios)

Trump is on a trip alright
