In 2016, the USA dropped a staggering 26,000 bombs in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen under President Obama's authorization. This thread explores the implications of this extensive bombing campaign and its impact on civilian populations. #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #Obama
The sheer scale of the 2016 bombing campaign is staggering. On average, the US military unleashed 72 bombs per day, amounting to three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day. #syria #Iraq #Afghanistan #Libya #Yemen
As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders…
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.

And toxic ghost from the past appears as DoD approvs #depleteduranium export to Ukraine: despite US overstating the case, the use of DU would only complicate conflict-pollution in #Ukraine and counters the global norm against its use 1/x

What past wars showed was that DU was not decisive. In the Gulf Wars, most tanks were destroyed with Hellfires and Maverick missiles. Tungsten rounds still are able to destroy Russian tanks, and DU was no silver bullet. 2/x wise-uranium.org/pdf/dumyths.pdf
What our @PAXforpeace research in #Iraq found was that the US was uninterested in clean-up and remediation of DU and contaminated materials, putting civilians at risk of exposure, in particular children playing on tanks and scrapmetal workers. 3/x paxforpeace.nl/wp-content/upl…

NEW | Attacks on #Iranian clerics increased during the past month, which may reflect broader public antipathy to the regime's sociocultural and economic policies. Today's update from CTP & @TheStudyofWar: criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-… 1/5

1.Quello che si sta realizzando in Italia,senza alcuna resistenza politica,culturale e mediatica,è quello per cui facevano ENORMI pressioni Ronald Spogli e Elizabeth Dibble,i diplomatici (ambasciatore e chargé d'affaires,rispettivamente)inviati a Roma dall'amm. di George W. Bush
2. i cablo della diplomazia USA rivelati da #WikiLeaks-e per cui Julian #Assange NON ha più conosciuto la libertà e sta perdendo la vita- permettono di ricostruire in modo efficace quello che diplomatici USA come Spogli e Dibble volevano dall' Italia e che ora si sta realizzando
3. Nella visione dei diplomatici inviati a Roma dall'amministrazione Bush,l'Italia era un paese che spendeva troppo per #StatoSociale e troppo poco per #MissioniMilitari e #NATO.E questo doveva assolutamente cambiare

Iraqi government resettled some of the internally displaced Sunni Muslim families to Sinjar, where #YazidiGenocide was committed by ISIS in 2014.
Yezidis protested against this plan in front of the Islamic Mosque located in Sinjar, because according to some witnesses, there were some Sunni Muslims among them who supported and joined #ISIS against the Yezidis in 2014. This people joined ISIS and betrayed the Yezidis back… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After this protest reached #socialmedia, a group of Imams, sectarianism led Islamic politicians and parties spread a picture of a mosque and saying that Yezidis have demolished it and burnt Islamic Holly Book Quran and attacked and called Yezidis devilworshippers & atheists.
Syrian world war? Is the label correct? Or is it a Syrian revolution between the people and the regime? We will see that in this thread about the statistics of the number of foreign fighters who came to support the Syrian revolution and 👇1️⃣

He is an aweful diplomat - the SPR was created to help buy time for america in the event of an extreme oil shortage like what happened in 70s.
What did Biden do with that time? He continued to piss off oil producing nations, and THEN opened up a new front of war with RUS.

ایک سال تک اس نے اپنا ابتدائی سروے مکمل کر لیا اور تباہ شدہ زیگورات کے قریب ایک خندق کھودنے پر اس کے کارکنوں کی ٹیم کو سونے اور قیمتی پتھروں سے بنی قبروں اور زیورات کے شواہد ملے۔ انہوں نے اسے "سونے کی خندق" کہا گیا۔ آہستہ آہستہ تقریباً 1,800 قبروں کا پردہ فاش کیا۔

1. uno dei più grandi contribuiti dei file #WikiLeaks su guerre in #Afghanistan e in #Iraq per cui Julian #Assange non ha più conosciuto la libertà è che ci hanno permesso di confrontare quello che accadeva sui teatri di guerra e quello che raccontava la macchina della propaganda

In an overnight session, the #Iraq parliament agreed on amendments to the 2018 electoral law, thus bringing an end to the new electoral system that was put in place in 2021. A summary of the amendments here (thread) ina.iq/181495--2-.html
Following the experiment in 2021 with plurality voting in smaller multi-member constituencies, #Iraq now returns to the system that prevailed previously of proportionality voting based on a modified St. Lague formula in bigger constituencies again.
The differences between the two #Iraq electoral systems shouldn't be exaggerated. Even with smaller constituencies, the multi-member principle retained a degree of proportionality in 2021.
