Bart De Wever, the Belgian PM, who recently claimed that he had been threatened by the Russians and who had prevented the release of frozen Russian assets held by Euroclear, is now calling for negotiations with Russia. The de facto capital of the European Union should be moved to the Baltics asap!

Because CNN's Fred Pleitgen does not take risks, broadcasting IRIB propaganda instead, Iranian citizen journalists have to risk their lives.

In authoritarian left-wing circles, antisemitism often takes the form of projective anti-Zionism, which is "justified" as anti-imperialist, anti-nationalist or postcolonial. Liberal leftists disagree with forming an alliance with Islamists against Israel and the West, which is why they didn't vote for the populist Zohran Mamdani.

This concise thread by Farzin Nadimi outlines the significance of Kharg Island and the strategy of using it as leverage against the Islamist regime to negotiate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Islamist propagandists are currently spreading the narrative that the US/Israeli war on the Iranian regime unites Iranians behind the theocracy. This particular example has been debunked by Iranian journalist and DJUverdi member Ardeshir, who revealed that the woman in question is the regime supporter Maryam Khalamzadeh, who lives and studies in Berlin/Germany.The picture shows her in Teheran holding a placard that reads 'Death to USA/Death to Israel'

Recommended interview with Maxym Eristavi
"I met thousands of Russians, colleagues, friends, close people, and gradually realized that it was not a marginal phenomenon, but a systemic pattern. It is a problem so big and profound that I do not try to focus on how to “fix Russia.” That's not my role or my responsibility. My goal is to protect our way of life and ensure that this empire cannot expand further."

"Middle East studies are saturated with anti-imperialist rhetoric & reflexive “America bad” narratives that the field increasingly denies the agency of regional actors themselves. It makes sense why they give such a confusing picture of how things are. Third Worldism is bad for the mind." (Zineb Riboua)

Breaking: the Iranian islamist regime threatens Ukraine with strikes, claiming Kyiv’s alleged support for Israel — including drone assistance — makes the entire territory of Ukraine a “legitimate target,” said Ibrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s parliamentary commission on national security.

Meet Nikita Pushkarev, an ordinary Russian barbarian and employee of penal colony No. 12 in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov Region, Russian Federation. He systematically abused Ukrainian prisoners and beat Maxim Vashchenko, a civilian prisoner, to death.

Just like their Nazi German role models, the Russians do not treat prisoners of war as human beings, but according to their own barbaric standards. In addition to forced starvation and torture, they try to force Ukrainian POW's into the RUssian army, forcing them to fight against their own people. https://www.slidstvo.info/en/articles/beaten-and-forced-to-pray-azov-fighter-who-joined-at-18-recounts-over-three-years-of-torture-in-russian-prisons/

Christian Panton reports that the Russian captain of tanker vessel Sea Owl 1, anchored off Trelleborg, Sweden, has been arrested on probable cause suspicion of aggravated use of falsified documents. NATO countries should start arresting shadow fleet captains in the Baltic sea on a regular basis.

There might be positive outcomes of the US attack on Kharg Island: Payment to the mullah regime's security forces and foreign mercenaries might dry up, increasing the likelihood of regime change. Lebanon could finally be freed from the control of Palestinian terrorists, and the people of Israel could be freed from the threat of further terror attacks if the Islamic regime is toppled. Finally, It could delay China's invasion of Taiwan, as Venezuela and Iran currently supply most of China's oil.

In an ironic turn of events, Qatar appears to be putting pressure on the Palestinian terrorist leaders it is housing: Hamas seems to be urging Iran not to target neighbouring countries. You know you're in the wrong when even your Hamas allies condemn your actions!

After fooling the Trump administration into lifting sanctions on fossil fuels by involving them in the 'peace negotiations'-hoax, which required them to temporarily stop sending ballistic missiles into Kyiv's apartment buildings, the Russians have now resumed their barbaric attacks.

According to Gert Kaju, Head of the Defence Readiness Department at Estonia’s Ministry of Defence, the Russians are running short of the air defence resources needed to protect their strategic sites.

In what could be a prelude to an attack by ground forces on Kharg Island, Trump shared night-vision footage showing US airstrikes on the island, which is Tehran’s main oil export hub in the Persian Gulf. US forces targeted military installations, including air defences, missile storage facilities and the island’s airfield.

It seems that that Slovakia with the support of Hungary and working together with Turkey, Azerbaijan, and three Central Asian republics managed to de-list the Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov and maybe even Fridman from EU sanctions tomorrow as 15 march deadline loom.

Following the IOC's earlier gross misconduct at the Winter Games, there have been numerous shocking incidents of open discrimination against the Ukrainian delegation and its fans at the Paralympics, leading to the assumption that the IPC openly supports the Russian fascist federation.

"Owned by member of Germany's AFD party member Mario Rönsch, Russian disinformation outlet "Anonymous News" is managed by FSB officer Bashilov, curating networks of fake websites and Telegram channels, a large focus of which is on the promotion of far-right political parties in the EU and UK."
(SPRAVDI — Stratcom Centre)

"Online discussions are dominated by a surprisingly small, extremely vocal, and non-representative minority. Research on social media has found that, while only 3 % of active accounts are toxic, they produce 33 % of all content [...] 0.1 % of users shared 80 % of fake news [6,7]. Not only does this extreme minority stir discontent, spread misinformation, and spark outrage online, they also bias the meta-perceptions of most users who passively “lurk” online."

This headline appeared in the UK yesterday, but not a single major U.S. newspaper dared to print it. This is because U.S. media self-censor out of fear of being punished by the Trump administration, which effectively censors the media while lying that the media in Europe is being censored.

The russian Paralympics team includes criminals, who were injured fighting against Ukraine. Some of them have served in units linked to war crimes and all of them volunteered to invade Ukraine. IPC President Andrew Parsons needs to be indicted and the entire IPC needs to be dissolved for this crime!

Hungary is a lost cause when even the opposition leader, who, incidentally, opposes Ukraine's fast-track EU bid, sounds like Orbán:
"Magyar called on the leadership of the European Union to suspend all relations with Ukraine until President Zelensky clarifies his remarks and apologises to Hungary.

🔴 The tables have turned and President Zelenskyy is holding all the cards right now, suggesting a trade: Patriots for interceptors
"they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it."

Iran has deliberately targeted Amazon's data centres for several days in a row: On 2–3 March, it targeted data centres in Bahrain and the UAE. Two facilities in the UAE were directly hit by drones, and in Bahrain, a strike occurred in the immediate vicinity of a facility, causing outages.

On 3 March 2026, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, held a press conference abusing a school for propaganda purposes. Using schools and other civilian buildings for military purposes during times of war may constitute a war crime. Source: Mehr News Agency (Iranian state media).

Hamidreza Azizi provides a valuable recap of day three of the war, focusing on the strategic narrative of the Iranian Islamist dictatorship:

Russia's chief propagandist has once again admitted to state-organised genocide by claiming that the loss of Russian lives on the front line is offset by the acquisition of 'new people' in russian-occupied Ukraine. By forcing Ukrainians into the Russian army, the Russians are mirroring Nazi tactics from World War II.

Important take by Nico Lange:
"It would be geopolitically astute and in our strategic interest if the German government were to help the Gulf states with drone defense and advocate free passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This would help us,help many and strengthen our partnerships and reputation"

"the first refugees from Dubai have arrived on Chios"

In an interview on the Arabic-language Al Mayadeen TV on 4 February 2026, Ali Ahmad Khomeini, grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini, said that Muslims would sacrifice everything to commit genocide against the Jews and annihilate the State of Israel in the name of Islam. Thankfully, however, Muslims proved him wrong👇

The US President has once again employed an anti-Semitic stereotype typically used by Russian fascists when he insulted President Zelenskyy by comparing him to the 20th-century fraudster P. T. Barnum. It is painful to realize that those who elected the current US President are also Russia-supporting anti-Semites.

Dubai is firing on all cylinders on the PR front, convincing fearful Russian influencers that Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is keeping them safe.
"Are you not afraid to live in Dubai? No, because I know who is defending us!" (translated from russian)

An underreported fact is that the Iranian HQ-9B air defense units supplied by China were ineffective and were completely destroyed by the US and Israel in the early hours of the war, and that the US and Israel now have air superiority over Iranian airspace.

"To succeed in the Middle East, the United States must recognize that neutrality in the Russo-Ukrainian war is untenable. By providing Ukraine with maximum military and economic support and pressuring Russia to abandon its strategic objectives, Washington can also advance its objectives in the Middle East."

The U.S. Central Command posted on X that it had sunk the entire Iranian navy in the Gulf of Oman.:
"Two days ago,the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman,today they have ZERO. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked international shipping in the Gulf of Oman for decades. Those days are over."

The IPC has banned the Ukrainian paralympic team from wearing a kit displaying the map of Ukraine in its internationally recognized borders, calling it 'political'. At the same time, the Russian team - which includes former military personnel who participated in the illegal invasion of Ukraine - are allowed to compete. Absurd!

A new documentary sheds light on Russia's hybrid warfare against Ukraine, which began as early as 2007. At that time, Russia's security services quietly established a network of paramilitary youth organizations and clubs across eastern Ukraine. These organizations groomed vulnerable teenagers from fractured families to develop personal loyalties to undercover Russian instructors.

"Estonia has convicted 19 Russia-linked spies since 2008 — more than twice as many as Germany, despite Germany’s population being about sixty times larger. A new Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI) report suggests one reason is that after the Cold War — and especially after 9/11 — many Western countries downgraded countering Russian espionage in favor of counterterrorism."
