🇮🇱🇵🇸 ISRAEL HALTS COMMERICAL GOODS DELIVERIES TO GAZA Israel said deliveries of commercial goods into Gaza have stopped after merchants suspended coordination with Israeli authorities over new fees and payment demands imposed by Hamas. Israeli officials claim Hamas is charging about $3,220 per truck entering the territory and demanding that 30% of local sales be paid in cash. The disruption threatens another key supply route for food and other essentials in Gaza, where livelihoods rely on humanitarian aid. Israeli bombs aren’t clearing Gaza fast enough for Netanyahu. Maybe starvation will… Source: Reuters / Writer: Marie

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A new war with Iran could spiral out of control in just 72 hours I've been trying to understand whether Trump could launch one final attack on Iran, declare victory and simply walk away. So I put that scenario to Professor Robert Pape, who has spent decades studying military strategy and how wars escalate. His answer made me reconsider the entire situation. Pape believes we're approaching something resembling the conditions that produced World War I. Not because the alliances are identical, but because military preparations are creating incentives for countries to strike before their opponents do. And this time, there are at least four major actors: America, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. Imagine Trump launches a three-day bombing campaign against Iran. Iran retaliates. The Houthis then attack an American warship, calculating that they could be Washington's next target. American sailors are killed. Suddenly, walking away becomes politically much harder for Trump. Saudi Arabia could also see an opportunity to strike the Houthis before they attack again. A limited operation has become a regional war, potentially within days. Pape's warning is that each decision could appear rational to the leader making it, even as the combined result becomes disastrous. He also raised a longer-term concern: renewed fighting could strengthen militant groups in Yemen and Pakistan, creating security problems that survive long after the initial conflict. What struck me most was how little this depends on anyone actually wanting a larger war. Trump might plan a three-day operation. But he cannot plan the decisions everyone else makes on day four. @ProfessorPape

🇩🇰🇷🇺 Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen: "Russia unfortunately does not want peace with us. Therefore, we have to continue rearming ourselves." European rearmament, now with strange parent-teacher conference vibes. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 A reporter asked Rep. Greg Murphy: 'Is America really in its golden age, given how expensive everything is right now?' Murphy said yes and pointed to immigration, wages, energy prices and changes under the previous administration. But then he added that he hopes Americans understand “the hardships today are there for the betterment of our country.” So we're in the golden age, we just have to get through the hard part first? 😅 Writer: Lynn t.co/TgiKfUi6qD

🇩🇰🇷🇺 Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen: “If we allow Ukraine to fall, I believe we will have opened the door for the Russians to advance into other parts of Europe.” The message is the same as always: lose the war in Ukraine, lose Europe´s own security. Does anybody really believe this? Writer: Oliver

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine is OUT OF MISSILES for its American-made PATRIOT AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM It’s one of the few weapons designed to stop an incoming ballistic missile. Zelensky has been telling allies for MONTHS they were running out of the vital interceptors, but they’re pricy and in short supply amid the Iran war. It’s being reported that nearly all ballistic missiles in the latest Russian attack got through because interceptor missiles were in short supply. With this latest news, Moscow has essentially been invited to keep bombing Ukraine. Source: CNN / Writer: Marie

🇩🇰🇷🇺 Denmark's Mette Frederiksen says that Moscow's ambitions don't stop at Ukraine and that European money spent on Russian goods helps fund its military. Europe spent years building an energy relationship with Russia to keep the peace. Now it's spending billions on defense while destroying said relationship. Writer: Oliver

🇩🇪 German AfD lawmaker Maximilian Krah was asked to describe world leaders in a single word. Trump? “Boss.” Putin? “Bad guy.” Xi Jinping? “Competitor.” Zelensky? “Don Corleone, The Godfather.” Netanyahu? “Fighter, but for himself.” Erdogan? “Wisdom.” And then came Germany's own chancellor, Friedrich Merz. “Idiot.” He later apologized and changed his answer to “disappointment.” Finding something diplomatic to say about his own chancellor was the real challenge. 😂 Writer: Oliver t.co/DQRBzNYnL9

TRUMP IS LIKELY ABOUT TO BOMB IRAN But this doesn't mean we will see a full-blown war like March/April He will bomb, get bombed, leave, and declare victory The long term winner will be Iran, the losers will be all Iran's regional rivals

How could someone do something like this? 💔 A Golden Retriever was reportedly found dead underwater near a Miami marina, with two cinder blocks tied to its legs using its own leash. A man returning to the marina spotted what he initially thought were two little arms sticking out of the water, that turned out to be the dog's paws. Police are investigating, and no arrests have been reported. I will never understand how people can be this cruel to animals. Writer: Lynn t.co/Dc9gLp1O55

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may be planning one last strike on Iran, but Iran may not let him walk away There's something deeply concerning about the latest reports of American strike plans against Iran. CNN reports that the Pentagon has considered using the GBU-43, the largest conventional bomb in the U.S. arsenal, against Iranian targets. The apparent idea is to deliver a devastating blow, declare victory and avoid another prolonged war. I discussed this with retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, who believes Trump desperately wants a way out of the conflict. But Macgregor sees a fundamental flaw in the plan. Washington might decide that one enormous attack is enough. Tehran has no obligation to agree. He believes Iran's next retaliation could target American bases and critical infrastructure across the Gulf, potentially turning what Trump intended as a limited operation into a much larger regional war. Macgregor also argues that Israel's objectives go considerably further than Trump's apparent desire to declare victory and leave. And that creates a dangerous possibility: America launches a strike intended to end its involvement, only to find itself under pressure to continue fighting. We also discussed the possibility of Iranian ground incursions into neighboring Gulf states and the growing strain on America's military commitments in Europe. I don't share Macgregor's certainty about how devastating Iran's response would be. But his central warning deserves serious attention. The United States can decide when to launch another attack. It cannot decide when the consequences end. @DougAMacgregor

🇩🇪 AfD's Maximilian Krah was asked whether being right-wing helps you get girlfriends. His answer? “At least it increases the chance, for a very simple reason: You have a positive relationship with masculinity.” Forget immigration and the economy. Germany's right wing is now campaigning on getting you laid. 💪 Writer: Oliver t.co/ZZ5cPcZHF8

🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA IS GOING ELECTRIC WHILE AMERICA IS BARELY MOVING... These numbers are insane. In 2026, electric vehicles account for 58.1% of new car registrations in China, compared with just 7.19% in the United States. Norway is already at 98.5%. Here's what's actually crazy: China's transition has happened almost entirely in the last 5 years. While Americans are apparently still arguing about whether electric cars have a future, China is building an automotive industry around them. And the rest of the world is increasingly buying into it. This is about who controls the next generation of the global automotive industry and America is dangerously close to falling asleep at the wheel. Source: @JessePeltan / Writer: Oliver

🇩🇪 AfD's Maximilian Krah says the last innovation Germany got excited about was color TV. It's a joke, but it hits pretty close to home. They shut down perfectly functioning nuclear plants, still use fax machines in government offices, and somehow manage to turn every new technology into a national debate about what could go wrong. Germany used to build the future. Now they hold committee meetings to discuss whether it's safe. t.co/3kzKw0n8vi

🇺🇸 Trump on suspending the federal diesel tax: "It is something I may support... We're going to have Iran defeated very quickly, and as soon as that happens, oil and diesel will be falling like a rock." “Very quickly”? When exactly, Mr. President? Americans need affordable fuel now!!! Writer: Samuel t.co/SWYQJuuMey

🇩🇪 German AfD politician Maximilian Krah has an idea for Europe's future Apparently it involves going back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He says Europe should study the empire as a model for organizing itself, pointing to how different cultures flourished under its German-dominated system.

🇩🇪🇷🇺 AfD lawmaker Maximilian Krah says Germany has every reason to trust Russia with its energy. He points all the way back to the Cold War: “We began the Russian gas deal in 1972. It was during Soviet times, and the Soviets delivered.” To him, a partner that held up through the Soviet era is hard to argue with: “It’s hard to say it’s a bad choice.” The Soviets may have delivered, but in 2022, Russia cut off Germany’s gas right when it needed it most. Russia blamed sanctions and broken parts. Germany didn’t buy it. Writer: Daniyal t.co/Mh253NBgUU

🇩🇪🇸🇴🇯🇵 AfD MP Maximilian Krah talks about the different kinds of immigrants... "If you have Japanese immigration, I can't blame them for crime. But if you have Moroccan immigration, unfortunately the numbers are different. The worst are the Somalis. They are on welfare and are criminal." Writer: Michael t.co/nSpPnsFR47

🇩🇪 Germany's AfD apparently has a very powerful friend across the Atlantic. Maximilian Krah said that American officials privately consider his party the only reasonable political force in Germany. “It's clear that the Trump administration is protecting us.” The confidence of saying that out loud 😂 Writer: Lynn t.co/JrY9oP7KQA

🇱🇧 A Hezbollah MP confirmed that HUNDREDS OF KILOGRAMS of EXPLOSIVES intercepted by Lebanese security forces last week belonged to the group. They were discovered in a vehicle stopped at a checkpoint in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley. 2 people transporting the weapons were arrested. The seizure comes amid an ongoing standoff over the Lebanese government’s efforts to disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah. Hezbollah is fighting major players in the Middle East…yet its arsenal remains. Stopping it at the SOURCE is the real hurdle... Source: Reuters / Writer: Marie

🇩🇪🇺🇸🇷🇺 German AfD lawmaker Maximilian Krah says that Trump's decision to buy Russian diesel signals something much bigger than an energy deal. “Now American dollars fuel the Russian war machinery.” Washington can no longer support Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure while simultaneously buying fuel from those same facilities. And he takes that argument to its ultimate conclusion: “That means America has changed sides.” Writer: Oliver t.co/31EO8DBCmo

🇩🇪 Germany's auto industry is in trouble, and AfD MP Maximilian Krah thinks saving it will require some very unpopular changes. He argues that Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes simply can't compete with China's electric vehicle production costs under Germany's current regulations. His proposed fix? Loosen labor laws, cut union rights and make the industry more flexible. He also predicts German combustion-engine cars could eventually become luxury weekend toys rather than everyday vehicles. Germany chose green ideology over its own workers. Now it’s paying the price... Writers: Lynn, Michael t.co/D2eR3Fsbqx

🇩🇪 German AfD's message for those trying to ban it: The voters aren't going anywhere. “If they ban us, you cannot ban 30 or 40% of the electorate. So definitely another party would come.” AfD lawmaker Maximilian Krah tells Clash Report that even if his party is outlawed, its political movement would survive. “A party is just a vehicle to reach political goals.” That's the whole dilemma. You can try and ban the party but the opinions stay. Writer: Oliver t.co/6BRWgoF0ND

🇮🇱🇺🇳🇮🇷 Israeli Amb. to the UN Danny Danon: "We have seen the reports that Iran, Hezbollah, and other extremists in our region are conspiring to take advantage of the election period in Israel. It doesn't matter if it's a provocative ballistic missile exercise, a cyberattack, or a disinformation campaign. We are issuing a clear warning: Anyone who attempts to threaten or attack Israel will face devastating consequences." 12 days away... will there be an October surprise?

🇩🇪🇨🇳🇹🇼 AfD lawmaker Maximilian Krah says Germany shouldn’t recognize Taiwan as a country. “There is only one China, and Taiwan is a special territory.” In his view, Germany should stay in line with countries like Turkey that don’t recognize it, because “China is a reality.” He’s not wrong on the facts. Only about a dozen countries officially recognize Taiwan, and Germany, like the U.S., isn’t one of them. Writer: Daniyal t.co/U3nzkG9oUO

🇩🇪 This exchange with German AfD Maximilian Krah is wild. “Your leader, Alice Weidel, is a lesbian and married to a Sri Lankan-born woman.” Maximilian Krah: “At least it shows that we are not Nazis, because we are so liberal.” The way he delivered that like it was the ultimate UNO reverse card 😂 Writer: Lynn t.co/Oo0mxAAMFc

🇮🇱🇸🇾 Netanyahu says he personally called Syrian President al-Sharaa last year as Druze were being massacred in Suwayda, and that the killing stopped after the call. “We struck inside the Presidential Palace compound, and I made a phone call to al-Sharaa. It was a very brief, very sharp conversation, and the massacre stopped.” Israel had already taken out Syria’s Ministry of Defense. The call, Netanyahu implied, made the message clear. He made the remarks at an event with Israel’s Druze community, promising to protect them “from the very depths of my soul.” Writer: Michael t.co/1M6yhH2gAQ
