JUST IN: Deadly train crash in Spain after a critical safety failure.
Netanyahu previously warned Spain it would “pay a price” for standing against Israel.
@grok, did an Israeli cyber firm recruit Spain’s former railway infrastructure chief?
Start with YES NO
Since people're talking about this again, here's a reminder: I made a slightly/kinda long-ish tweet on the actual AQ Khan-Iran dealings and the braindead, warped way Pakistanis remember them. High time people understood just how dumb 🇵🇰 Mujeets are. 🙃
The Iran-AQ Khan story is a useful commentary on how ironic the stupidity of Pakistan's traditional "Pan Islamic" narrative is. Now largely replaced with a more sensible yet soulless & uncompelling "Pakistan the peacemaker" mantra, it's a very good example of the bizarre main-character-of-the-Muslim-world syndrome mentality that figures like Zaid Hamid, Hameed Gul et al pushed. In this particular story's case, the irony is that, alongside 🇮🇱/Zionists, Pakistanis are the only people that in significant numbers claim Iran was making a nuclear weapon in the era before Iran started getting directly attacked by the US/Israel.
Pakistanis say: AQ Khan, famed Pakistani nuclear scientist & proliferator, offered to help Iran make nuclear bombs as part of some big-brotherly Muslim assistance from Pakistan (the "only Muslim nuclear power" as Pakistanis love saying). Because, you know, Muslims need nukes. And Iran "naively" turned AQ down (or betrayed him) and reported his offer to the IAEA.
Reality: AQ Khan, whose network the Iranians (signatories to the NPT and subject to IAEA checks & balances) had purchased centrifuges from, tried 'upselling' them on further purchases by throwing in some blueprints on how to cast uranium into hemispheres, but "not the technical specifications that would have been necessary to carry out the operation" as acknowledged by the IAEA's November 2005.
Iran'd already turned over the documents of this transaction to the IAEA in January 2005, and a month later the IAEA interviewed Khan's arrested accomplice Buhari Abu Tahir confirmed that "the Iranians did not ask for any plans relating to nuclear weapons manufacture".
So, the Iranians weren't in fact, trying to make nuclear weapons. Nobody asked Khan for anything.
And yet for two decades, Pakistanis have been - unwittingly and awkwardly - 🤝 with AIPAC and Netanyahu in claiming that Iran was trying to make a nuclear weapon. 🇵🇰🇵🇰 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 😄
The fruits of ignorance and a thoroughly braindead "pan-Islamist" narrative. The same that produced the now-widely discredited and rejected myth that the Afghan Taliban were Pakistan's friends against a NATO and India-backed Afghan regime in Kabul.

Secular Alawite Baathist dictator widely reported to live like a Sunni with a Sunni majority army (yes Alawite senior generals but the rank and file was Sunni) = SHIAAAAUWWW SECTARIAN LEADER!!!111
The Syrian Revolution supporters are utter biomass
If Saudi is your ally as it has been called for decades why is it always neutral/50-50 during Indo-Pak escalations? And why did Saudi and the UAE push Pak to release Abhinandan so early in Feb 2019?
These clowns screech about Chabahar yet don't even KNOW about IMEC. Stay cucked

I think this hilarious fiasco - brought to my attention by Twitter's AI news summaries - is just such an AMAZING summation of how utterly void of any true convictions most Pakistanis are. A microcosm of just how fake the PTI/Imran Khan faction, the opponents of the present Pakistani government whose supporters I regard as more pathetic and slimy than prostitutes, truly are with their "anti-imperialist" grift. Of which @worqas seems to be the public face.
Back during the PTI government in 2018-22, Waqas and his fellow PTI figures promoted the literal inverse of the narrative they now shill (i.e., that Imran Khan was some sort of sovereignist figure that the US-puppet military deposed). They heavily tailored their PR and presentation of Imran to a Western neoliberal audience and I remember these clowns being super stoked when Time Magazine depicted Imran in a cover photo alongside the likes of Bill Gates and WEF's Klauss Schwabb as a neoliberal foil to the "anti-globalist right wing" types 😂😂
During Khan's tenure, Pakistani foreign policy wasn't just not "anti-imperialist" or "sovereignist" in any way, Khan's government subtly scaled back Pak's ties with China - the US' Great Power rival - in (an expectedly futile) attempt to curry favor with the US. A few journos reported this back then, which involved nixing or delaying some CPEC projects as well. It's also noteworthy that Khan's domestic political rival party, the PML N - the present military leadership's puppets -- was also known to be favored by the Chinese due to their good performance in facilitating CPEC projects in Punjab.
Khan's government's Western neolib leanings can also be seen in how it, bizarrely and insultingly for any Pakistani patriot with a brain, hailed India's "enlightened" Congress party (Hindu nationalists with more finesse than Modi) as some sort of better alternative to the Modi government. These clowns like Waqas, again, justified this by claiming this would "impress the West".
So yeah, Waqas invoking a silly pseudomoral standard against a Pakistani anti-US leftie who availed a US scholarship is pretty in character for a charlatan like him. Waqas has no values, he's just a personality/celebrity worshipper like most politician supporters are. When Khan acted like a US puppet - and yes I know the army was behind that - he was 100% on board with it because, well, Imran Khan.
Pakistanis, regardless of what aisle of whatever political divide they fall into, are largely shallow people without convictions.
Iran's a regional powerhouse - even after the major blows it took in 2023/24 - and is fighting a superpower and multiple other countries. But Mujeets who can't tame insurgencies in Balochistan and the Afghan frontier after 2 decades think they have a lot to teach it lol
Aaaaand another braindead Faujeet who earns himself the distinction of peddling the 21st century's most legendary Hasbara, i.e., that Iran wants to go nuclear. Mujeets' knowledge comes not from research but last minute Googling and drawing room baabu discussions
Lmao have you read the tweets retard ,while you’re out here coping that Iran was just minding its business and AQ Khan was randomly upselling bomb tech they ‘never asked for.’
Iran took the centrifuge designs, the components, the training, built Natanz in secret, hid the whole enrichment program from the IAEA for nearly two decades, and then kept pushing higher and higher enrichment while the Amad Project documents showed the actual weapons work.
That’s not logical self-defense,that’s a weapons program that got caught. Your whole thread is just ‘Pakistan bad, Iran innocent, anyone who notices is a Mujeet.’ Try reading the IAEA reports and the Khan network transfers instead of writing fanfic for the regime and then crying when people point out the obvious
Reminder: alongside Israel/AIPAC, 🇵🇰 Mujeets have the distinction of being the only people who claim Iran was at any time pursuing nuclear weapons. All to shoehorn a stereotypically Mujeetish fake-pan-Islamism angle for their nuclear armed banana republic into the limelight.
Pakistani nationalist IQ level in a nutshell; Saudi Arabia = ally, Iran = backstabber because uhh Iran voted for India on Kashmir in 1994.
Meanwhile, Saudi tells Pak to buzz off when it asks for support on Kashmir as recent as 2019 + ties its economic future to India via IMEC.

"Male loneliness" is particularly funny because it's exclusively used by women to humiliate/degrade men they don't like on behalf of the guys they do like, who are *not* "lonely" either socially or romantically
Countries like Pakistan inevitably decline to a stagnant point once their large majority rural populations start migrating to the cities in bulk and bringing their backward culture there, alienating the civilized middle class. Takes some observation to notice but it's true.
Pakistan’s failures are genuinely so hard to understand. It’s not the demographics or the human capital; Pakistan was the *seat* of the persianized Mughal administration, it was the *governing center* of much of India. It’s not really simply “bad institutions”, because India’s institutions are also shit, and Islam arguably has a caste-suppression effect. One could plausibly say it’s political geography, as India inherited some fairly crucial shipping lanes, or western distrust of Pakistan due to Chinese alignment for a while, but in theory Pakistan SHOULD have developed more evenly and reliably than India, with stronger institutions, and it’s bizarre that it didn’t.

The Lindsay Clancy trial, Cornell case, and now outrage over the Shane Gillis joke are a disturbing glimpse into the future of modern women.
I’m reminded of a quote from a book I once read: “Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a god, but never without a belief in a devil.”
People deprived of purpose will often turn to activism and outrage to fill that void. A world where more women than ever are expected to be single and childless will produce millions searching for meaning.
Every month, there seems to be a new trend where women express outrage and join in solidarity with evil.
These movements are built on belief in a devil, and that devil is anything or anyone holding them accountable for their choices, behavior, and dissatisfaction with life.
Instead of marriage, family, and community fulfilling their lives, it’s now politics, victimhood, and endless cultural conflict.
They’re not married to men anymore, they’re married to outrage activism. All done by design.

"Vicarious hypergamy" means taking joy in the female disdain toward lower status and attainment of higher status men, "trooning out" means I'm calling this an autogynophyllic experience for them. The fact this is true can by seen by girldad wifeguy daughters becoming gay/trans.
