David Lammy was just asked in PMQs whether a minister would lay a wreath to honour Jewish soldiers who fought in WW2. His response? “I bought a new suit this morning.” Veterans died for freedom — not for smug politicians to dodge questions with vanity.

🚨 WATER WARS: WHY DESALINATION PLANTS ARE THE GULF’S LIFELINE When missiles fly in the Middle East, people usually think of oil fields, pipelines, or military bases, but in the Gulf, there is another target that may be even more critical, water. The Iranian drone strike on a Bahraini desalination plant, and Iran’s claim that the U.S. targeted a similar facility on Qeshm Island, signals a dangerous new phase in the war. Because in the Gulf, desalination plants are essential for survival. Unlike most regions of the world, the Gulf has almost no natural freshwater. Rainfall is scarce, rivers are nonexistent, and groundwater reserves are limited and rapidly depleting. So Gulf states turned to the sea. Today, massive desalination plants pull salt from seawater and convert it into drinkable water for cities, industries, and agriculture. Without them, daily life across the region would collapse almost overnight. The Gulf Cooperation Council countries control roughly 60% of the world’s desalination capacity and produce about 40% of all desalinated water globally. More than 400 desalination plants operate across the region, quietly supplying the water that keeps cities running. In Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desalination. In Oman, it’s 86%. Even the United Arab Emirates, with one of the most advanced infrastructure systems on the planet, gets about 42% of its drinking water from the sea. That’s what makes attacks on these facilities so alarming. Unlike oil infrastructure, which affects markets and government revenue, desalination plants affect people immediately. Take out a refinery and the economy suffers. Take out a desalination plant and millions could lose access to drinking water. Energy infrastructure has always been part of regional conflict, but targeting water infrastructure raises the stakes dramatically.

In Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, someone constructed a grave over a water tank. Local citizens demolished it. It was of course a fake grave built to create a mazar and get donations from gullible Hindus. But if a grave with a real dead body had actually been built over drinking water supply, it would have posed a huge health hazard for the local population. Illegal dargahs should be demolished across India.

🚨 President Trump on whether he'll reform CISA over concerns about its 2020 election assessment. LindellTV reporter, Cara Castronuova, asked "Given concerns that CISA's 2020 election assessment was premature or faulty - will you and Secretary Mullin implement reforms at CISA and DHS to ensure full confidence in future elections?" President Donald J. Trump's response: "We'll talk about it. Look, they used it to try and put me in prison...I can't be thrilled with it." "They used that very strongly, very illegally. It was very dangerous the way they used it - they weaponized government." "I'll along with two groups of people: the military and the senators. But I was a big victim of it."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Ted Cruz defends Trump's threat to bomb Iran's power plants, arguing they're listed as "legitimate targets." To be clear: Technically legal doesn't mean morally right. Power plants supply hospitals, water treatment facilities, homes, and schools. By that logic, any civilian infrastructure that also serves a military function becomes fair game. Roads? Bridges? Telecoms? Water systems? Every single one of those was hit during this war, and every strike was justified using the same reasoning. This is the slippery slope all sides in this war have been sliding down for six weeks. Start with nuclear sites and military bases. Move to factories and ports. Then bridges and steel plants. Then universities and gas fields. Then desalination plants and power grids. Each one slightly more civilian than the last, each one justified as "dual use." At some point, when you've bombed everything a society needs to function and called all of it a legitimate target, you're not conducting a military operation anymore. You're punishing a population. And no government website changes that. Source: Fox

President Donald Trump's "AI and crypto tzar" David Sacks said: "This is a good time to declare victory and get out." But he's noticed a problem: "A faction of people, largely but not exclusively in the Republican Party, want to escalate the war" because they want Iran's government completely replaced, not just weakened. What happens if they continue the war with Iran: "If [Iran's] oil and gas infrastructure gets hit, they've already said they're going to engage in tit-for-tat retaliation against the Gulf States... The Iranians already blew up this giant oil depot in Oman." Then they'll target desalination plants: "~100 million people on the Arabian Peninsula get their water from desal. It's basically a desert. Those desal plants are soft targets... If you see that type of destruction continue, you could literally render the Gulf almost uninhabitable... eventually if this war continues for weeks or months, Israel could just be destroyed."

Yesterday I was in the great town of Narrandera and they showed me the shocking water quality that comes out of their tap. Today, Michael McCormack and I took the water to Canberra and challenged the press whether they would drink this water. How is that we have spent $13 billion on the Murray-Darling Basin Plan but we can't deliver clean drinking water to the towns of the Murray-Darling? This is totally unacceptable. I will be working with the Nationals candidate for Farrer, Brad Robertson, to fix this shocking outcome.

The Angela Constance smear is now dead in the water. Professor Alexis Jay confirms she only asked for a correction to the minutes. She wasn't concerned about parliamentary exchanges, although would welcome any correction there if one is made. She explains her November correspondence with Constance was due to media pressuring her and nothing else.

🇮🇷 Iran was weighing evacuating Tehran over water BEFORE this war even started. Geopolitical analyst Ryan Bohl drops the detail that reframes every strike on the region's infrastructure. Iran's water crisis ran so deep before the first bomb fell that officials discussed whether the capital could stay livable. The red lines protecting civilian systems, desalination plants, energy, bridges, are dissolving too. Ryan traces the old rules to the post-WWII order, and says the multipolar world killed them: norms are relative now, and both Washington and Tehran are comfortable operating that way. Wars used to end at civilization's edge. This one is redrawing where that edge sits, over a country already running dry. Ryan Bohl
