Us non Americans generally don't care about who an American president puts in positions of power because it doesn't impact us and it's not our place to speak about it either. However, America's foreign policy decisions affect everyone so imo we can speak on that.

Ik i said tht Trump was unpredictable but I sure as hell didn't expect him to make Pete Hegseth the Secretary of Defence. That was genuinely surprising and unexpected, even by trump standards. Didn't know who tht guy was until yesterday. And I'm sorry but his takes on foreign policy are downright illogical and awful. It's not lyk there's room for discussion and debate, this guy is literally a neocon. His arguments don't even make sense, he seems lyk one of those podcast dudes with a mic who just makes random wild claims about stuff he doesn't fully comprehend, and that's what makes him so dangerous in this position. Obviously it's different when ur rambling on fox news and when u need to actually act on things as the secretary of defence, but i sure as hell wouldn't put my money on this guy(even if trump is ready to trust this guy with an $87 billion budget)

The only potential silver lining is the argument being made that the administration of the Pentagon is a massive task and this guy has never been in such a post before, so irrespective of his foreign policy he won't stay in office for very long

Uk how so many ppl voted for Trump to end the 'forever wars'? Yeahhh tht shit unfortunately isn't happening any time soon, like I've said before, both the parties wouldn't have done tht.

Brazil condemns killing of top Hamas leader in Iran

The Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement on Wednesday “vehemently” condemning the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Iran after attending the inauguration of the country’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

“Brazil repudiates the flagrant disrespect for Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in clear violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter, and reaffirms that acts of violence, under any motivation, do not contribute to the pursuit of lasting stability and peace in the Middle East,” the Foreign Affairs Ministry said.

Vice President Geraldo Alckmin also attended Mr. Pezeshkian’s inauguration. Mr. Alckmin was seated only three chairs away from Mr. Haniyeh during the ceremony.

Brazil’s statement does not mention Israel. However, the text adds that the assassination “further hinders the chances of a political solution to the conflict in Gaza by negatively impacting the talks that were taking place for a ceasefire and the release of the [Israeli] hostages” captured by Hamas.

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TRADES WITH ISRAELI OCCUPATION- NO RETALIATION AGAINST IRAN FOR INVASION OF RAFAH

A report published in the Hebrew media says the American Biden administration has made a deal with the Netanyahu regime to exchange a potential retaliation on Iran for the their strikes against "Israel," for the Israeli invasion of the city of Rafah, the last bastion for displaced Palestinian civilians.

A report about the deal was originally published by the The New Arab, and has since been republished in the Zionist media, detailing a deal in which the United States has approved an Israeli ground operation into Rafah, the southernmost city of the Gaza Strip, in exchange for restraint with regards to Iran following a large-scale choreographed missile and drone strike launched over the weekend targeting Israeli military sites.

The Iranian strike was in retaliation for an Israeli attack on the consulate section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing several Iranian military and diplomatic officials, including two high-ranking IRGC commanders.

No Israelis were killed in the Iranian counterstrike.

To avoid an all-out uncontrolled escalation in the region, officials in the Biden administration have reportedly made a deal with the Israeli regime, avoiding a retaliatory strike on Iran in exchange for a planned Israeli invasion of Rafah.

According to a Senior official speaking with The New Arab, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu managed to obtain American approval for a military operation in Rafah, in exchange for [Israel] refraining from carrying out a wide military operation against Iran in response to its recent attack."

The official claimed that "discourse of an Israeli response to Iran contradicts the desires of the American administration, and is not realistic, given the Israeli claims that the United States played the major role in repelling the Iranian attack and preventing its success."

The source also noted that "the IDF carried out airstrikes [overnight on Thursday] on several areas adjacent to the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt," adding that "the relevant officials in Egypt were notified before the execution of some of these strikes, which came in the Philadelphi axis at a space adjacent to the border with Egypt."

For its part, Egyptian authorities told The New Arab that Egypt is at "full readiness and preparedness of [its] forces stationed in northern Sinai, along the 14-kilometer border strip with the Gaza Strip, as part of a plan to deal with the scenario of a ground invasion in Rafah."

According to authorities with the Egyptian military, the government is "ready for all scenarios," but that the Israeli occupation must properly evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah before any potential operations.

The federal government is moving to support Iranian nationals in Canada, amid a bloody crackdown on dissidents in their home country.

The government announced in North Vancouver Thursday that effective March 1, new measures would be in place to allow Iranian temporary residents to prolong stays in Canada.

“Considering the gross and systemic human rights violations ongoing in Iran, some Iranians who are temporarily in Canada are rightly concerned about returning home at this time,” Natural Resources Minister and North Vancouver MP Johnathan Wilkinson said.

“We are committed to making it easier for Iranians in Canada to extend their temporary status in Canada and for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to come home, and by prioritizing these cases to ensure that they are processed urgently so that individuals can have peace of mind.” [...]

I love the peace and anonymity Tumblr gives in general, but by God i really need PPL to respond to this and share their opinion

For social context, I'm a 17 yr old in school. The thing that gets me is how little ppl care about the news(putting it lightly). And i totally get it, it's not lyk we can actually change anything at all in this world (at least rn), so ur opinion doesn't really hv an impact at all. But also, I hv no one to discuss stuff with. U can't talk about the fact that there's a literal genocide going on without boring ppl (tf even). Not in the sense of making tht ur whole personality, but even mentioning it vil give the impression tht ur being too political or serious or smthng. It's not lyk i ve lost friends over this, but it's just tht I hv friends i love but can't talk to about things like this. It's like this with world politics and history in general, no one really cares at all. I m not asking for ppl to be into history, thts a personal interest, but they're not even aware of the basic reasons of y things r happening the way they r in the world today.

And this seriously bothers me. But given tht I hv no one else in my life who cares about this stuff (parents, sibling, friends, classmates), I'm starting to wonder if I'm the one overreacting here. No one ever even mentions it (like EVER), and if I do they're completely uninformed and unbothered with it. Wht are ur thoughts?

Brazil “concerned” about Israel’s attack on Iran

The Brazilian government said it sees the Israeli air strikes against Iranian territory with concern. In a statement released Saturday (Oct. 26), the Ministry of Foreign Relations stressed it “condemns the escalation of the conflict and renews its appeal to all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint.”

“Brazil reiterates its conviction regarding the need for a broad ceasefire throughout the Middle East and once again calls on the international community to use all diplomatic instruments at its disposal to contain the deepening of the conflict,” the note reads.

The text also says the Brazilian Embassy in Tehran monitors the situation of Brazilians in Iran and maintains permanent contact with nationals in the country.

Israel attacked military facilities in Iran on Saturday morning, but in retaliation for an Iranian attack this month, Israel attacked military buildings in Iran. The Israeli military said that dozens of jets completed three waves of attacks before dawn against missile factories and other sites and warned Iran not to retaliate.

Metropolitan elites style themselves as grand protectors, even as they enact or enable calamitous violence. They deny the vast harms that their military-industrial behemoth unleashes upon millions, just as they exaggerate their capacity to deliver peace and prosperity: In the US support of Israel’s war in Gaza—a war purported to protect the Jewish people through the extermination or dispossession of their Palestinian neighbors—we see a twisted reflection of Hussein’s own prejudices and murderous delusions.

Lyle Jeremy Rubin in The Nation. The “Cascade of Errors” That Led to America’s War on Terror

Steve Coll’s new book looks at the hubris and delusions of American foreign-policy makers and counterparts in the Middle East that led to a war that still haunts the globe.
