John Mearsheimer provides a brilliant and accurate outline of the history of the Israel/Palestine problem. I just kept nodding my head, because in 53 minutes, he summarized what I have known for ~25 years since reading the UN history in the link in the replies. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pY5...

🧡 #WorldMentalHealthDay Everyone has a story, and some chapters are harder than others. You don’t need to fix everything. Sometimes just listening, showing kindness and reminding someone they matter can mean the world. Be gentle with yourself and others. Love, George 🐈❤️

Trump told the UN he could “annihilate” Iran. He did not explicitly mention nuclear weapons, but the power to order their use rests with one president. The world cannot afford to dismiss the danger, Connie Peck writes. #Iran #NuclearWeapons
pearlsandirritations.com
Trump's nuclear threats against Iran must be taken seriously
Trump stood before the United Nations and threatened to “annihilate” Iran. With the authority to order a nuclear strike resting in the hands of one US president, the consequences of treating such threats as mere bluster could be catastrophic.

Good morning & welcome to Fish For Tea Friday 🐟🐾 When you focus on all the good things you already have, somehow life feels a little fuller. But if you spend too long looking at what’s missing, even everything you have can begin to feel like it isn’t enough.
