I ad to this list :
No hope of any kind of freedom for iranian people, no peace in Lebanon.

Yes. Every word. Although I dislike promoting X content, even as a screenshot. In this case it’s worth making an exception.

Of course, all of that is obvious to anyone paying attention, but I appreciate someone with his visibility summarizing it so nicely and succinctly.

He also seems more enlightened (based on other appearances) than his Obama era tenure (although tbf I don’t know what he was advising behind closed doors).

@steve_zeke Yes, the Obama administration certainly had its own share of foreign affairs disasters, and like all US administrations, a high percentage of zionists on staff.

Regarding X content... I realize many of us are on Mastodon because we left twitter when Musk took over and sabotaged the platform in multiple ways. I arrived here in Nov. of 2022 and liked it very much. But when Israel began its genocide in Gaza, X was the one platform where I found the most news from people on the ground in Gaza, or from pro-Palestinian voices around the world.

My posts on the genocide and ethnic cleansing have been muzzled way more here and on Bluesky than on X. Since 2023, I mostly use my social media accounts to share news from people being silenced and oppressed by us in the West, and to this day most of their voices are on X.
