US as a junior partner in this military campaign
The President of the USA is now openly threatening Iran with being the target of one of the greatest crimes in world history. Trump is saying he will destroy the basis of life for more than 90 million people.
He should be removed from office for this.
This administration, and this man specifically, has no idea how to exercise real power for real ends.
TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of Defense/War/whatevs Pete Hegseth: “This fight hits home. Our generation understands this fight.”
On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
Great quotes in military history.

- Putin belt Trump om te waarschuwen dat de escalatie van het conflict met Iran ernstige mondiale gevolgen kan hebben en benadrukt het belang van diplomatieke inspanningen om de crisis te beheersen. Kort daarna doet Trump de uitspraak dat de oorlog bijna afgelopen kan zijn.
Als Frankrijk in 2027 een radicaal-rechtse president kiest, is het gedaan met de EU, waarschuwt Gabriel Attal (36). „Le Pen is geen Meloni.” Mede daarom wil de liberaal zijn leermeester Macron opvolgen. Uit het succes van generatiegenoot Jetten put hij inspiratie.

Venezuela after Maduro: no sign of promised new dawn for democracy

The Wall Street Journal & . Follow ...

The reverse merger will result in Powerus, which was formed last year, trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the coming months. The deal brings deeper involvement by the Trump family into a multibillion-dollar sector that has new opportunities for growth following changes imposed by the Trump administration. Those include the Pentagon's emphasis on large-scale, rapid adoption of small drones, and a national ban on new models of the Chinese drones that have for more than a decade dominated the consumer and commercial markets.

Trump is lifting the sanctions on Putin with regard to oil, think about that, as always he obeyed his master....
👇🎯 In an even minimally functional democracy, the Defense Minister who oversaw this would already have resigned under threat of a no confidence vote for the government in the parliament.
Presidentialism & the United States Senate were grave mistakes (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Trump on Cuba: "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter."
It's bad the president is completely clueless, but even worse that he's being influenced by his failson-in-law who doesn't actually hold a government role at all.
Is he getting tips from cabbies, like Tom Friedman, too?
Once upon a time, right-wingers blamed video games and violent media for kids becoming mass shooters. Now, they produce and post such content on the official White House account.
There is a special place in hell for Orbán and Fico.
They are actively blocking the €90 billion EU financial aid package for Ukraine, going completely against their previous promises.

..no thought or mention of the sailors killed because it was "more fun"...
First the jokes about illegally killing people on boats allegedly carrying drugs, now a comedy routine about torpedoing an unarmed ship in an undeclared war
“We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.”

Trump: “We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough.”
Trump is a psychopath, it is more fun to kill people... then to capture the ship
