It is really a low water mark to be at war with the one of the worst regimes on Earth and manage to come away as the callous and undignified party.

So Trump rolls out the red carpet for Putin, protects Putin, bullies the Ukrainians for Putin, and in return Putin helps Iranians kill Americans.

Trump must act now or the case for him being a Russian asset of some type will be undeniable.

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

Our failure to fund #PublicEducation properly in #Australia has resulted in ever increasing community segregation and social inequity.

We were well and truly warned, werenβ€˜t we, @janecaro.bsky.social ?

There was a time when Australia did great #PublicHealth campaigns but seem to be saturated with #gambling ads instead…

America vs. the World President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperousβ€”and the whole world less secure.

”The consequence of a newly unreliable and even hostile United States, therefore, will likely be significant military buildups by former allies. This will not mean sharing the burden of collective security, because these rearmed nations will no longer be American allies.”

This β€œit’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Monday that the United States faced an "imminent threat" from Iran - but only if Iran was first attacked by Israel.
"The imminent threat was that we knew if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded," Rubio told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he was briefing lawmakers.

So Rubio said we had to bomb Iran bc Israel was about to and all hell would then break loose.

If only there were some big, powerful country that could have stopped Israel.

Welche Maßnahmen es jetzt braucht, um eine 3. Γ–lkrise abzuwenden:

- 9€ Ticket reaktivieren
- Tempo 100 auf Autobahnen
- Tempo 80 auf Landstraßen
- Autofreie Sonntage
- KaufprΓ€mie fΓΌr FahrrΓ€der

Wann versteht die Regierung, dass Verbrenner & Γ–l-Heizungen nicht Freiheit sondern AbhΓ€ngigkeit bedeuten?

β€œMassive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.
