Asia‑Pacific and allied nations are reluctant to fully support Donald Trump's Iran war because the strategy is unclear, yet they cannot realistically abandon the United States either. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/09/world/indo-pacific-iran-war-price/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #nato #southkorea #australia #georgehwbush #firstgulfwar #kuwait #sept11 #joebiden #ukraine #russia #hezbollah #hamas #china #petehegseth #middleeast #oil

The Indo-Pacific price of a hasty war with Tehran

The allies are not abandoning the U.S.; they are recoiling from a war that lacks a defined strategy.

Prose, poetry, and art from Jamaican-American Rankine which opens up a reflection on American loneliness, race, and depression follow 9/11. Twenty years later, I dread how much will still feel true.

Unlike the twin light beams that commemorated the #Sept11, 2001, attack or the stand-alone chairs at the #OklahomaCityBombing site #memorial, the failure to recognize #Jan6 has left a gap not only in #memory but in helping to stitch the country back together.

“That’s why you put up a plaque,” said Rep Mary Gay Scanlon, D-PA. “You respect the memory & the service of the people involved.”

Trump just called Mohammed bin Salman a "very good friend" and added, "we've always been on the same side of every issue."

This is the first time MBS has been on U.S. soil since Saudi agents murdered and dismembered Jamal Khashoggi.

Felon rapist insurrectionist Trump praised MBS's record on human rights. Do Americans see how ruthless and cruel the Saudi Crown Prince is? Trump has once again reached a new low.

Saudi Arabia as a state was responsible for 9/11. Evidenced by 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens, and multiple lawsuits, declassified FBI documents, and survivor groups allege that individual Saudi officials or agents may have assisted the attackers. Saudi Arabia was the primary source of funding for Al-Qaeda, largely through private donations.

Evidence that Saudi officials in the U.S. may have helped hijackers settle, find housing, and integrate before the attacks. Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi agent, assisted two hijackers in California

The overhaul represents a striking departure for the behemoth agency that #Congress created in response to the #Sept11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The #HomelandSecurity Dept was tasked with preventing #terrorism, protecting the president, investigating transnational #crime & responding to #NaturalDisasters, among other duties. #Immigration enforcement was one of many responsibilities, but it was not envisioned as DHS’s singular function.
