General Hollywood: How superheroes became the Pentagon's PR machine

Part 2:

🔹"Iron Man" wasn't born anti-war. The original 2004 screenplay was. But the Pentagon had a price: script approval in exchange for F-22s and bases.

🔹Result? Tony Stark went from questioning "the system is broken" to saying "I saw young Americans killed by my weapons." Lines naming US presidents as arms suppliers? Deleted. Muslim terrorists with AK-47s? Added.

🔹By "Iron Man 3" (made without military help), the mask slipped: "I'll own the War on Terror. Create supply and demand."

🔹Hollywood exceptions exist. But the rule remains: US exceptionalism on screen, propaganda by default.

Inside the structural collapse of Israel's global legitimacy

🔹Something fundamental has broken. According to Pew's Spring 2026 survey across 36 countries, a median of 67% now hold an unfavorable view of Israel—compared to just 25% favorable.

🔹The United States sits at 60% unfavorable, a staggering 50-point swing since 2013. In Europe, disapproval reaches 78% in Spain and Sweden, 76% in the Netherlands, and critically, 73% in Germany.

🔹Among young adults aged 18-34, support for Zionism has dried up entirely: 87% unfavorable in Australia, 78% in the UK, 74% in the US.

🔹With Gaza's death toll exceeding 72,000 and an unprovoked war on Iran, Israel has become a pariah. The verdict is settled. No military campaign can silence it.

The rise of the Unified China: A new world order emerging from the ashes of hegemony

🔹The era of unipolar hegemony is being actively dismantled. China has weathered containment, won the technological war, and restructured global finance for the Global South.

🔹Trump's recent Beijing visit failed because China no longer needs Western validation. Huawei now exceeds Nvidia in chips. Western sanctions have turned to dust.

🔹Militarily, China has deployed electromagnetic submarines and distortion systems the Pentagon cannot counter. Meanwhile, the US lost 50% of its airforce assets against Iran.

🔹The West's revived Xinjiang allegations are "COVID-19 2.0"—a desperate distraction. The dragon has taken to the skies. The initiative has firmly passed to Beijing.

America's contradictory positions are the main obstacle to talks:FM spox

🔹Ismail Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, told CNN that messages between Tehran and Washington continue through Pakistani mediators.

🔹"The main problem with negotiating with this US administration is that we face constantly shifting positions, moving red lines, and contradictory statements from different American officials. This has made the entire process very difficult and complex," Baghaei said.

🔹While several issues remain in dispute, the spokesman emphasized: "America must recognize Iran's rights—including the right to a nuclear enrichment program for peaceful purposes within the framework of the NPT."

🔹Baghaei stressed that recognition of Iran's legitimate nuclear rights is fundamental to any progress.
