my reaction when people are screaming "nothing ever happens" at the US evacuating its Bagdad embassy^

If you're a 15 yo talking without knowing the history of the US embassy in Bagdad, its OK.

If you're joking, its OK.

If you're really serious.... uhhhh maybe you should just play Minecraft and grow out of your politics phase?

🇺🇸 - The U.S. Navy has reportedly placed its base in Bahrain on HIGH ALERT. Dependents are being authorized for evacuation.

🇺🇸 - UKMTO says "made aware of increased tensions within the region" which "could lead to an escalation of military activities".

🇺🇸 - The head of U.S. Central Command General Kurilla has postponed testimony to lawmakers set for tomorrow because of tensions in the Middle East - Reuters

If you have a car, now is a good time to think about fueling it.

🇺🇸 - Jennifer Jacobs: US officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran. This is part of the reason the US advised some Americans to leave region. US anticipates Iran could retaliate on certain US sites in Iraq. Witkoff is still planning to meet with Iran

🇺🇸 - The Atlantic says Trump pursuing "Postliberal revolution".

🇺🇸 -

🇺🇸 - Padilla is not currently detained, according to his office - MSNBC

🇺🇸 - Murkowski on Padilla:

“I've seen that one clip. It's horrible. It is shocking at every level. It's not the America I know."

🇺🇸 - (from Discord, I don't endorse the news or anyone in it but I just share it as an echo of what is being said)

🇺🇸 - DHS says they thought senator Padilla was an attacker.

🇺🇸 - The Padilla arrest is the kind of ritual humiliation that was typical of the early Hugo Chavest govt.

🇺🇸 - Kristi Noam also said: We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists & the burdensome leadership that this governor & that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.

BTW: I'm not American, I don't vote in the US.

I don't support the democrats. I think they've had multiple misguided policies and inappropriate rhetoric over the past decades. I fully understand why the American people supported and still support Trump even if I don't agree with everything.

BUT

At the same time I'm still someone with enough political litterature behind me to know that the kid of stuff we see those days.... hum... is kinda special you know. Let's use the term "noteworthy". That's why I'm covering it, because I think this is typically the kind of thing you'll want to see in here.
