🚨☢️ Hersh: Frustrated Trump floated 'nuclear option' to end Iran war

The legendary investigative journalist reports that in a secret White House meeting, a sinking president began speculating – vaguely but chillingly – about using nukes to bring a quicker end to the war.

🔶 4 months in, Trump's popularity is tanking. Polls show Democrats likely to retake the House – and possibly the Senate. If that happens, impeachment calls will follow.

🔶 Meanwhile, Iran is still producing drones and missiles in underground factories. The US can't stop them. Trump's war has no end in sight.

🔶 Iran's legitimate demands: sanctions relief, return of frozen assets, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, peace in Lebanon. These are not unreasonable – they are the bare minimum for a long‑term settlement. But Trump sees them as capitulation.

🔶 He can't control Netanyahu. Israel keeps bombing Lebanon, sabotaging any US‑Iran deal.

🔶 Trump's surrounded himself with loyalists, not strategists. War hawks like Lindsey Graham and Zionist fanatics like Mark Levin are the only voices in his ear. No one tells him the truth.

Trump is trapped in a war he can't win before the midterms. So, he's thinking about ending it the only way left: by letting hell break loose.

The empire is cornered. And cornered empires do desperate things. If Trump goes nuclear, the global calculus changes forever – and not in America's favor.

Pressure mounts on UK to ban Israeli real estate event

"The UK government is under mounting pressure to ban an event that has advertised the sale of illegally occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank.

The private, invitation-only Great Israeli Real Estate Event is scheduled to be held in London on Sunday, following tour stops in the US and Canada.

Its event in New York last month drew criticism from the city’s mayor Zohran Mamdani over promoting illegal settlements.

Earlier this week, prospective attendees could tick a box next to Gush Etzion, an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, to register their interest.".

WHY BORDERS MATTER

"Borders and national citizenship rules are a primary check upon migration. Migration is not limited just because of xenophobia. Unregulated migration now would undermine both citizenship and welfare rights. This would threaten democracy, which depends of the notion of a national community. Thus a degree of exclusion of outsiders is essential to democracy, and democracy is a key basis for the legitimacy of a government’s external actions. Borders and local policies of national security are now central to containing terrorism and organized crime.

Citizens still identify with the nation-state. States are the largest bodies that can claim any sort of primary legitimacy. There is no global ‘demos’. If democracy implies a substantial measure of homogeneity in the demos, then the world is just too unequal economically and too different culturally for the rich to submit to the decisions of the poor, or for one established culture to accept the internationalization of the norms of another. The territorial state will remain a central component of the new division of labour in governance, even if it no longer has quite the monopoly of governance it had when it appropriated political power from the complex division of labour in governance of the later Middle Ages. Politics is no longer exclusively territorial. On the other hand, it cannot hold together unless it is rooted in the democratic political will of territorial states."

Democracy comes from the ancient Greek 'demos': a relatively homogenous community of people. If there is no community that can be defined by language, culture, history, religion etc. there can be no democracy.

This is the fundamental prerequisite for a functioning democracy.
