Western-led interventions in Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan demonstrate the pitfalls of imposing democratic frameworks without addressing the unique historical, social, and political dynamics of the regions. Unless the paradigm of security-led intervention as a solution is critically reassessed, the pattern of instability and failed state-building will persist. The fall of Assad mirrors the consequences of Western interventionist policies seen in Libya and Iraq. These efforts often prioritize regime change over long-term stability, ignoring the complexities of local power structures. Without a strategic shift in approach, repeated failures in nation-building are inevitable.

🧠 COMMON SENSE Love him or hate him his plans are common sense to every decent, honest and sane person on earth. 🔴 PRESIDENT TRUMP: When I’m president, we will DEPORT the foreign jihad sympathizers and Hamas supporters. If you hate America, if you want to eliminate Israel, then we don’t want you in our country. 🔴 PRESIDENT TRUMP: Most egregiously of all, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden delivered over $100 BILLION in sanctions relief to Iran, which the regime used to expand its terror brigades and fund Hamas. Unsurprisingly, Iran is now trying to tilt this election in Kamala’s favor. 🔴 Kamala Harris is the candidate of the forces who want to destroy western civilization—I am the candidate of those who want to defend western civilization, defend Israel, and defend the United States of America. If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are elected, the radical-left flag burners and Hamas-sympathizers will not just be causing chaos in our streets; they will be running U.S. foreign policy in the White House, and Israel will be gone. 🔴 PRESIDENT TRUMP: When I am back in the Oval Office, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. I will give Israel the support it needs to WIN FAST. We will restore stability and PEACE to the Middle East—and it will be peace through strength. 🔴 Unsurprisingly, Iran is now trying to tilt this election in Kamala’s favor. Kamala Harris is the candidate of the forces who want to destroy western civilization—I am the candidate of those who want to defend western civilization, defend Israel, and defend the United States of America. #trump #iran # #election #islam #terror

Feds United for Peace was started in October 2023 when it became clear that U.S. policy was to support Israel's military response to the Hamas attacks no matter the negative consequences for Palestinian civilians, U.S. interests in the region, or indeed even Israeli citizens and hostages. Feds United has consistently demanded change to U.S. policy, asking that it be consistent with U.S. law, international law, and Administration policies. We demand a ceasefire, return of hostages, and accountability for war crimes. We demand that our government cease military support, in accordance with the law, based on the illegal use of U.S. weapons by Israel. Feds United has sponsored federal employee actions within the requirements of the civil service as well as supported those who speak publicly. Read our principles document: https://lnkd.in/ePrcizbX

#Ukraine is seeking to make a deal with #Russia to stop the #conflict, according to #Trump. In a post on #TruthSocial, #Trump called for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations regarding #Ukraine. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump stated that, according to his information, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have lost approximately 400,000 soldiers since the beginning of the conflict. He also noted that #civilian casualties in Ukraine are even more significant. Trump emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire and the start of negotiations. Earlier, in July 2024, Trump estimated the combined losses of Ukrainian and #Russian soldiers at 500,000. Discrepancies in casualty estimates between Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and American intelligence highlight significant differences in narratives regarding the ongoing conflict. #Zelenskyy's reported figure of 60,000 casualties differs substantially from #Trump's claim of 400,000 Ukrainian military losses and even greater civilian casualties. This discrepancy raises questions about transparency and the flow of information during wartime. Accusations have emerged that the #Ukrainian government is concealing or falsifying the true scale of losses. The inability to provide accurate data risks eroding trust, strengthening alternative narratives, and ultimately weakening #Ukraine's position during #negotiations. #UkraineConflict #CasualtyReports #TransparencyMatters #ZelenskyyStatements #TrumpClaims #ConflictNarratives #CeasefireNow #NegotiationUrgency #WartimeInformation #CivilianCasualties #MilitaryLosses #UkraineWarFacts #InternationalTrust #WarImpact #GlobalDebate

❗ Russians lined up and 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 16 Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered near Pokrovske, #Ukraine. This is the biggest and worst POW 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of the war known so far. 💔 Invaders lined the surrendered Ukrainians up, shot them all down, and then finished off those 𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 on the ground. You can see the bodies drop one by one as russians open fire. The full footage was caught by a drone. It is too horrifying to post. When some sneaky character says 'Ukrainians just need to surrender," - show them this. This is what will happen if Ukraine "just surrenders" to Russia, whose 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐥 regime practices war crimes as state policy. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 prisoners of war is a purposeful #policy of the Russian #military and political leadership, as emphasized by Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin. ❗ This is why Ukraine cannot surrender, which is what all the so-called "peace negotiations" and "compromise" deals actually mean. If you reward war criminals you incentivize more war crimes. #Intelligence #Ethics #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

After two and a half years of Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine, there are now four main scenarios for its outcome, writes John Lough: ▪️Long war ▪️Frozen conflict ▪️Victory for Ukraine ▪️Defeat for Ukraine Read our latest report: https://lnkd.in/erG86Ujg

Focus on Hamas War Crimes (Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post) The Israel Defense Forces' daring operation that rescued four Israeli hostages held for more than eight months provided new context for the war. Hamas committed war crimes on Oct. 7 by killing, raping and abducting civilians. It has continued to commit war crimes by holding civilians hostage and, again, by treating them inhumanely. And in making military targets of civilian homes by turning them into hostage cells, Hamas has again committed war crimes. Any civilian death is regrettable, but in this scenario, Hamas is solely responsible for the casualties resulting from the rescue mission.    To the extent civilians become participants - including hostage-holding - they lose the protection of international law. Hamas has committed a grave legal and moral wrong in erasing the line between civilians and combatants. Hamas wants more civilians to die. It's incumbent on Israel's harshest critics to dissociate themselves from Hamas enablers and antisemites. If not, they have no claim to the moral high ground. https://lnkd.in/eFy5ED4u

This interview sheds light on the viewpoints of US senators regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering a nuanced look at the political stance in DC, irrespective of party lines. Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, argues that the US has failed in its role as a neutral mediator. According to him, the US has increasingly aligned itself with the Israeli narrative, compromising its credibility as a broker for peace. This perspective is especially relevant in light of recent statements made by US officials. Senator Lindsey Graham, for instance, has declared that the two-state solution is now ‘dead,’ citing the attack on Israel on October 7th as the turning point. In his view, pushing for a Palestinian state in the aftermath of the violence would be perceived as rewarding terrorism. This viewpoint underscores a growing trend among some US policymakers to conflate the actions of militant groups with the broader Palestinian population, painting every Palestinian as a potential threat. I can’t help but wonder how they sleep at night, knowing that over 40,000 innocent people have been killed, with the actual number likely much higher. Israel is a warmonger, and until we recognize this as the root cause, we won’t be able to think clearly about finding a real solution. https://lnkd.in/eqh3cVFM
