Unclear where this goes
(2/6) #Iran is being overtly aggressive and perusing a an independent and ‘rogue’ #foreign policy. We see this in their increased support for H@mas, #Hezbollah & the #Houthis of #Yemen - now with their provocation through the military attacks in #Pakistan https://t.co/LVMdDG3tD8

Meanwhile, Canada's Loyal Opposition is still shit-posting about Trudeau's vacation.(6/6) And #Pakistan is a post #colonial proxy zone and essentially a failed state — caught in the middle of a power shift— having a battle of the new order play out within its territory. https://t.co/lIUjLpD4Ld
