By gatecrashing the 1914 war, the UK got Germany's African colonies and good part of the Ottoman Empire.
The UK had lied.
Already in June 1914 the cabinet had agreed that they had no obligations whatsoever to Belgium.
As for the belgian king, the belgians suffered greatly, whereas the luxembourgers were far better off.
Was he forced into that decision?

I had already closed down the computer for the night when I heard about Hezbollah firing off rockets & drones at Israel, via a crawler on i24News, which wasn't remarkable were it not for the topic of discussion: that Turkey was going to get involved to attack the SDF, which will inevitably involve Russia as ally of both Syria and Iran. Turkey already has troops in Syria because of its fixation on the Kurds there.
And if that weren't enough complication, Iran is now on China's radar because of a long-standing dispute that the UAE has had with Iran over the sovereignty over 2 measly islands, a dispute where China's taking UAE's side of the dispute.
The tossed salad & scrambled eggs are about to get into a blender, folks.

They know that the words of US and Israel is not even worth a dog fart so they want to sign an agreement with international backers in order to have some kind of guarantees. Not that any of those countries will lift a finger to help the Palestinians when (not if, but when) Israel breaks the agreement.

#Iran's president #Raisi has died in a #helicoptercrash
He will not be missed, he was a butcher. They are celebrating in #Tehran with fireworks
#Turkey found the wreckage with a drone
But:
1. It didn't go straight to the crash site. It flew over Amand rocket site, Khoi and Tabriz airports, and an #Iranian army base. No valid reason. Just intel
2. It drew the star and crescent of the #Turkish flag with its flight path 🤣
Hilarious pettiness!
Turkey: 👏👏👏
Rot in hell Raisi

5000 yr-old Cyclopean #Megalithic Platform at Urartian Fortress | Van, #Turkey | #Megalithomania
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIuw68CqyRk
A gigantic megalithic platform is located next to Van Castle in Turkey and may date to five thousand years ago. In the Urartian era, it was built upon and developed into the huge site during the 7th Century BC that we see today. Inscriptions on two of the blocks are Urartian script. However, no one knows who built the gigantic cyclopean construction. It resembles other cyclopean walls that we see at Meydan Kalesi and Alaca Höyük in Turkey, and also sites in Peru, Italy, Greece and Baalbek in Lebanon. Located next to it are rock-cut hypogeum steps and other features that show a high level of stone-working skill. In tradition, this is the area of the ‘Garden of Eden’ and giants are usually thought to be the builders. Nearby are other remarkable sites including Çavuştepe which has precision stonework, like that found at Puma Punku in Bolivia, which we will feature in an upcoming video.

#Sayburç is located southwest of Sanliurfa and is one of the 12 ‘Taş Tepeler’ sites in southeast #Turkey. Two separate areas have been discovered, the northern zone containing an oval bedrock enclosure with the 3D panel, whist just south several structures with T-pillars and remarkable stonework have been revealed. In this video Hugh Newman and Andrew Collins explore the new excavation and document some fascinating discoveries including human remains, a huge ‘dromos’ #stone, strange carvings, holed stones and more. Debbie Cartwright joins in the conversation and they discuss what this could all mean.

The military exercise of the United Arab Emirates under the name "Desert Flag" began with the participation of #Turkey, #SaudiArabia, #Oman, #Kuwait, #US, #SouthKorea, #France, #UK and #Germany.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has asked China's foreign minister and other counterparts to use their influence to dissuade Iran from striking Israel, the State Department said Thursday.
Iran Foreign Minister rejects any attempts at mediation, says that countries 'should have condemned the Israeli aggression when they had the chance', and that a punishment is definitely necessary
The United States said on Thursday it had restricted its employees in Israel and their family members from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas amid Iran's threats to retaliate against its regional adversary"
➡️ The Iranian state news agency IRNA wrote on Wednesday that “the time is ripe to punish Israel”. It claimed a final decision on how to respond to Israel had been made, adding a failure to respond would undermine Iran’s “deterrence.”
➡️ The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, also wrote that Iran’s “punishment” for Israel was inevitable and would be “heavy”.
➡️ But it said how and when Iran would act was confidential and that reports suggesting that Tehran would respond over the next few days or was planning a missile and drone strike were only speculation.
➡️ Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian held phone conversations with foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates and Qatar on Wednesday night, with the ministry saying the consequences of Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate were among the topics discussed. He also spoke to his Turkish counterpart on Thursday.
➡️ Israeli security analysts have said an Iranian attack could range from a strike via one of Iran’s proxies, such as Hizbollah, to a direct attack on Israel from Iran itself, which could risk an escalation of the regional conflict.

"Erdogan is once again sacrificing the economic interests of the people of Turkey for his support of the #Hamas murderers in #Gaza who raped, murdered and desecrated the bodies of women, girls, adults and burned children alive. Israel will not submit to violence and extortion and will not condone the unilateral violation of the trade agreements and will take parallel measures against Turkey that will harm the Turkish economy. I ordered to prepare another list of products that Israel will prevent Turkey from exporting and in addition, I ordered to contact countries and organizations in the US, stop investments in Turkey and prevent the import of products from Turkey, and to our friends in the American Congress to examine the violation of the boycott laws and impose sanctions on Turkey accordingly."
Who wants to bet that #GenocideJoe is going to take some actions against #Turkey in the coming days?

It took only 6 months and 40k deaths for #Erdogan to start "restricting" exports to Israel!
🔶️ “This decision will remain in effect until Israel, within the framework of its obligations arising from international law, declares an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and allows a sufficient and uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip,” the ministry said.
🔶️ Along with the United Arab Emirates, Turkey is the biggest donor of aid to Gaza, according to Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.
PS. That's a lie.
