Zelensky is threatening NATO that he'll cook up some nukes.

The UN envoy for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, has privately proposed the partition of the territory between Morocco and the Polisario Front as a solution to the dispute.

He has also said in the UN Security Council that "the time has come for Morocco to explain and detail its proposal for autonomy."

According to De Mistura, the partition "could allow for the creation of an independent state in the southern part, and the integration of the rest of the territory as part of Morocco, with its sovereignty over it internationally recognized."

One more partitioning a country into to parts, it will work this time trust me

former home affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo is beanposting about being stripped of his Order of Australia honours:

"With wars underway around the world, and more likely to break out, possibly in the Pacific, with rising intolerance and anger in public debate, with many people struggling to make ends meet, and many other problems besides, being stripped of my official honour does not amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world," he said.

followed by the maddening unreality of western rhetoric:

“It’s regrettable that force and violence sometimes have to be used, but when you’ve got someone who is so determined to pursue the annihilation of another group of people sometimes it just comes down to that,” he said.

"There is simply no point in rushing to peace if all that just simply happens is the next cadre comes through, who are as well trained and have thought about how they want to continue the campaign.”

death to israel, death to australia, death to the western colonial project forever and ever amen

Report: Bridgewater Place owner files for bankruptcy

The owner of Bridgewater Place in downtown Grand Rapids has filed for bankruptcy, Crain’s Grand Rapids Business reports.

Crain’s reports that Hertz Properties Group, the owner of Bridgewater Place, has asked for bankruptcy protection in Israeli Court.

Bridgewater Place is located at 333 Bridge Street along US-131. The 17-story building has the name “Varnum” on it and it is connected to River House Condos.

Hertz Properties Group used bonds traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to finance the purchase of Bridgewater and 10 other office properties located throughout the U.S., according to Crain’s. It reports that as the company deals with financial issues spurred by a post-pandemic drop in the real estate market, the bondholders are seeking repayment

I get the feeling that the "Freyer" discourse (word which basically means the person taken advantage of) is the beginning of the anti-Semitism which will definitely be terrible once this genocide is ended and the Zionists are forced to flee. And it's the fault of the Zionist settler-colony that this will happen.

Sorry if I'm changing the subject away from the Palestinians themselves (whose suffering immensely eclipses that of anti-jewish sentiments right now, of course), but seeing the comments on Twitter about this concept gave me an insight into the form that the anti-jewish sentiment will be (again) in the future.

I like to think Trump fancies himself a gourmet Chef now that he's slang some fry at WacArnolnds.

"I made the Fish Filet the Qt. Pounder and many, many Big Mac's."

Telling trump NAFO tried to kill him and hopefully the funniest outcome happens.

This is too bleak. I need to look away for a bit.

Maybe having his house blown up will teach Bibi what it's like to be without a home, you know, learn some empathy.

Ah hell who am I kidding, empathy is a foreign concept to Zionazis.

Danish Regime Threaten Sanctions Against Iran’s Revolutionary Guard

Senior officials from the hard right Liberal and Moderate parties that make up two thirds of the reclusive Nordic kingdom's succdem-led right-wing regime has issued new threats against Iran. The two parties are demanding that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard should be placed on the EU’s so-called "terror list", a registry of global south organisations seen by the EU as working against the western bloc's geopolitical ambitions.

In a carefully choreographed appearance in state media outlet TV 2, Liberal Party firebrand Michael Aastrup Jensen said that "We simply have to admit that what Iran is doing in the Middle East and around the world is terrorism." without offering any evidence to back up his bombastic claims. Moderate Party official Henrik Frandsen has admitted to his party's anti-Iranian line, going on the record to say that "With a terror classification, sanctions can be imposed that are significantly harsher than what is currently possible"

The Danish threats follows demands made by Sweden’s supreme leader for a joint Western classification of the IRGC as "terrorists".

Be aware of clickbait posts about satellite imagery of the Israeli Tel Nof airbase, the base where impacts from Iranian ballistic missiles caused secondary explosions captured on video. The publically available satellite imagery is not of a high enough resolution to accurately make any kind of damage assessment or analysis.

Ukrainian forces are basically encircled yet again, this time in the Avdiivka-sized city of Selydove, south of Pokrovsk.

We'll see if they follow their usual strategy of endlessly funneling in troops and equipment down the "road of death".

Leader of the worker's (Trotskyist) party of Algeria calls for updating the 2025 budget to include Palestine and Lebanon:

After commending the current diplomatic mission of Algeria, she called for Algerian authorities to stop funding the Palestinian authorities, as she criticized them heavily for being "Zionist comparadors".

Also she called for coordination with Jordanian authorities to assist in aid and helping injured north Gazans in their situation of famine and shortages due to the continues zionist aggression.

She also left a very large part of her speech to comment the leader Yahia Sinwar, as she described him a "legendary leader", and that although his death is tragic it will not slow resistance down.

She also attacked a lot of Arabic channels and described them as "zionists", saying that they aim to plant strife among Palestinian and Lebanese people, and attempting to isolate the resistance from its population.

She finished her speech by saying that the zionist entity lives in a state of collapse due to the strikes done by the resistance of Lebanon and Palestine, despite of all the massacres and destruction.

I don't understand calling the PA comparadors but in the same time reach for Jordan, but okay.

Liam Payne, ex-One Direction, dies at the age of 31. The singer was found dead in the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

According to La Nacion, the musician died after falling from the third floor of the hotel in Palermo. According to the newspaper, police were called to the scene to restrain “an aggressive man” who may have been under “the influence of drugs or alcohol”. The police confirmed the death.

Not sure if this is anything but I’m trying to book a flight and hotel, two separate companies, and I’m getting host errors (Cloudflare seems to be fine though?). Weird delays and failures in other websites too. In talking with people over the phone at these companies too they’re getting server/hosting errors as well. Just kind of weird

Edit: also some phone calls just not connecting…strange

Dozens of soon-to-be-retired Australian Abrams tanks will be sent to Ukraine under a $245 million military support package.

[...]

More than a year after Kyiv first expressed interest in the aging M1A1 fleet, and months after Australia rejected a request to donate its grounded Taipan helicopters, the Albanese government has confirmed it will now gift 49 of the American-made tanks.

The Taipan helicopters that kept crashing lol

"One of the unique elements of the Australian tanks is that they're in reasonably good working order. The fact the Ukrainians already have some M1A1s in theatre from the allies suggests there's a good logistics chain there as well as some training," he told the ABC.

yeah because they don't get used. As long as the government keeps buying american tanks right? The article mentions they had to get permission to send them to ukraine too. sovereign borders and social cohesion, oh yeah.

And then there's this tidbit:

"We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in their fight against Russia's illegal invasion," Mr Conroy.
