We don't need to negotiate, let alone allow them to enrich uranium. Tell Israel to destroy their nuclear power plants and oil/gas production by any means necessary and Iran's nuclear program and genocidal ambitions are finished. We don't even need to get involved. It's the exact same pathetic weakness that has led Trump to accomplishing precisely nothing with Russia.

Ukrainian drones taking out an entire airfield worth of Russian planes, including the Tu-95 bombers they're using to murder Ukrainians en-mass. Reportedly this was an undercover SBU operation in Northern Russia, far away from the Ukrainian border. Drones are changing everything.

Wild that we have an official statement against CBDC's at Bitcoin 2025 from the US Secretary of Homeland Security. Elections matter.

gmaxwell on Ocean's conflict of interest: “Spam is Ocean's biggest marketing point. Spam has, as of recent months, stopped being a high profile issue. This tempest in a teapot has suddenly caused spam to be a high profile issue again-- even though feerates are now resting close to minimum all day long--, creating an incredible amount of promotion for Ocean and its related projects. Ocean benefits directly financially from this drama, and indirectly through increased influence. Its employees have spent many days of time focused on this, attended events specifically to promote the position, and put out hours of video on it, which certainly makes it look very important to Ocean's bottom line. The point about COI is that one should avoid not just impropriety but the appearance there of. And having known the involved people for over a decade, having invited some of them to stay in my home, I am left with the impression that it seems improper. Moreover, their staff went right into making such accusations themselves even though they seem far less founded.” https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1knek3z/comment/mslb8zn/

This channel is interesting. They appear to be stitching together footage from both sides to tell the story of particular actions; the footage itself is clearly real. They're probably playing fast and loose with the truth to tell partially or fully fake stories with our of context footage. But it is at least theoretically possible to do this for real, some of the time.
