Dude crashes out every day now. I think everyone is ready for him to shut up and be gone. His MAGA supporters are the only ones taking him seriously at this point.
| Party | Likely Counter-Move |
| China | Would view the Ashdod pipeline as a direct threat to their "Belt and Road" interests in the region and might accelerate naval deployments to the Red Sea. |
| Russia | Would likely move from "supplying tech" to "direct intervention" to prevent the fall of a key strategic partner, potentially using their presence in Syria to harass the pipeline's path. |
| Iran | Faced with an "existential" threat backed by Saudi gold, the IRGC might skip conventional escalations and move straight to a "scorched earth" policy against Gulf desalination plants and oil fields. |
The Archbishop of Washington D.C. just said it directly.
“In Catholic teaching, this is not a just war.”
This isn’t a foreign pope making diplomatic statements from Rome.
This is the Archbishop of the American capital. The man who leads the Catholic Church in the city where the war was decided, where Congress was gaveled into silence, where the Pentagon threatened the Vatican’s ambassador for daring to disagree.
He just told Washington — from Washington — that what they are doing fails the moral test their own faith demands.
The just war doctrine has four criteria. A just cause. Right intention. Last resort. Proportional means.
Cardinal McElroy is saying this war fails them.
He joins Pope Leo XIV who called it unjust. Who called Trump’s threats unacceptable. Who the Pentagon summoned and threatened with the Avignon Papacy for saying so.
They threatened the Pope. They didn’t silence him.
They can’t silence the Archbishop either.
so this nigga started a war with the POPE? I can wait to see how r/conversatives spin this shit.
He said it was cool to make you a slave.Bruh! There's no amount of low he can't go, who tf attacks the Pope? I'm not even religious but I'd never would attack the Pope.. Smh!
