You may remember Syria as one of those US forever wars that peace president Donald Trump ended, and ISIS a terrorist group that Trump declared totally destroyed.

Ukraine has halted a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea. SBU used long-range drones to strike Lukoil’s Filanovsky platform, causing at least 4 hits. The attack shut down oil and gas extraction from over 20 wells. “Any facility aiding Russia’s war is a legitimate target,” one SBU source said.

A ceasefire that allows Israel to murder unnoticed, is not a ceasefire: it is a tool to fool. It is a managed apartheid killing field normalized by world powers. For Trump’s Israel-first-bubble, the ceasefire is “holding” so long as only non-Israeli Jews are murdered.
