In August 1990, Saddam Hussein made a decision that would reshape the Middle East, and trigger one of the most decisive military responses of the late 20th century.

This video explores the complex chain of events that led Iraq to invade Kuwait. Was it purely about oil, or something deeper? We examine the economic strain Iraq faced after the brutal Iran–Iraq War, including massive debts and falling oil prices. Kuwait’s role—through oil overproduction and disputed drilling—is brought into focus, alongside long-standing territorial claims dating back to the Ottoman era.

But beyond economics, there was ambition. Saddam sought to position Iraq as the dominant power in the Gulf, believing the international response would be limited. That calculation proved disastrously wrong.

Barcelona’s BIGGEST Revolution Under Flick Has Started — Lewandowski Is Only The Beginning...

Barcelona are entering a completely new era under Hansi Flick — and Robert Lewandowski’s official departure could be only the beginning. In today’s Barça news update, we break down Flick’s massive revolution at FC Barcelona ahead of the 2026/27 season.

We discuss:

– Lewandowski officially leaving Barcelona

– Flick’s crucial “stay or leave” meetings

– Jules Koundé uncertainty

– Ronald Araújo’s future

– Andreas Christensen contract talks

– Roony Bardghji loan rumours

– Marc-André ter Stegen and Ajax links

– Barcelona pushing for Joao Pedro

– Lamine Yamal injury update

– Eric Garcia’s new role under Flick

– La Masia talent Brian Farinas potentially leaving

Is this the biggest squad rebuild Barça have had in years? And who could leave next after Lewandowski?

Barcelona news today, transfer rumours, Hansi Flick tactics, Barça revolution and all the latest FC Barcelona updates — everything is here.

Germany built two of the most capable military formations of the Second World War. Both earned genuine reputations that military historians still study. By 1944, both had been reduced to a fraction of what they were supposed to be.

Hansi Flick wasn’t the obvious choice — but FC Barcelona saw something others didn’t. From his rise in Germany to completely transforming Barça’s identity, Flick has turned the team into a high-intensity, fearless side again. This video breaks down his journey, the tactical changes he brought, and why Barcelona believed in him when others didn’t.

What if Lionel Messi is football’s version of Galileo Galilei?

Both changed the way people saw their world. Galileo challenged old ideas about the universe, while Messi changed how football itself could be played. Vision, creativity, genius that looked impossible to explain — this video explores the fascinating similarities between Messi and Galileo, and why true revolutionaries are often misunderstood at first.

Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will not have an international swan song with Spain, as he had hoped. The veteran right-back has been left out of the Spain long-list for the 2026 World Cup by Spain manager Luis de la Fuente.

A strong statement has been issued.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has defended Lamine Yamal following criticism of the Barcelona star for waving a Palestinian flag during the team’s title celebrations earlier this week.

Hansi Flick could sign his contract with Barcelona next Monday, a deal that runs until 2028 with an option for a further year, as reported by Mundo Deportivo a few days ago. This is the target date for the club, given that the final agreement was reached last Monday and the season is practically over.

"Golgato Endings had it all.

He was a hero. A symbol of strength and morals.

Too bad it was all a lie.

After a disastrous interview exposed the rot in his soul, Golgato’s image imploded.

Abandoned, bitter, and worst of all, broke, Golgato accepts the only job he can get.

His mission: infiltrate and destroy a SEXBOT UPRISING led by the terrifying nine-foot-tall dominatrix called Mistress Contessa.

This leather-clad giantess and her pissed-off legion of robot sex workers have seized control of the robo-brothels in the Pleasure District.

They’re lopping off heads, holding people hostage, and making outrageous demands.

Now Golgato must enter a nightmare of carnage and cleavage to restore justice! To restore order! But most importantly, to restore his bank account!

Will he succeed in crushing the robotic rebels from within? Or will these curvy sexbots seduce him to join their side and fight against the system?

Sexbot Uprising is a wild ride of carnage and cleavage, where nothing is what is seems and the fate of the universe somehow hangs in the balance."

Tresoldi himself has drawn the comparison, and it's not accidental. He has said: "My idol has always been Pippo Inzaghi, then growing up I was inspired by Luis Suárez, and now I watch all the Robert Lewandowski games, trying to learn as much as I can." He models his game on Lewandowski — the intelligent movement, the clinical finishing, and the physical presence of a modern penalty-box striker.

The timing is almost perfect. Lewandowski, not getting any younger, is set to see his Barça deal expire at the end of this season and is reportedly close to accepting an offer from Juventus or Chicago Fire.

Barcelona will need a long-term centre-forward, and Tresoldi fits the profile: he stands at 186cm, is right-footed, and is under contract until 2029.

However, Club Bruges forward Tresoldi has emerged as a target for several top European clubs. He is reportedly being closely monitored by Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal made an inquiry, and Tottenham as well as several Italian clubs are keeping tabs on him. He joined Brugge for just €6 million and is now valued between €25–30 million.

It's unlikely Club Bruges will let him go for less than €35 million

So join, even if you don't give zero fucks about the the sport, join the new r/BarcaOfficial reddit.

Which was made in protest. Ofc we need numbers. So everybody please just join at least. It's just one sub more. I know most you don't care about the the sport, but that's not the point. Just joing and doing nothing will boost us in the algorithm.

Also there's not actuall "official" Barca reddit. That why I can name my like I did. But the biggesrt FAN reddit has a pro-Zionist mod. Even though Barcelona ( and Catalonia) as a whole is very much pro-Palestine.

Please join, if only to pump up those numbers.

Thanks in advance

edit And upvote the video of Yamal waving the Palestine flag!
