Perdón si nuestras palabras son extremadamente polarizantes, quizá nos ha radicalizado la decencia más básica, pero creemos que la guerra está mal.
NO A LA GUERRA.
Bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure to have major environmental fallout, experts warn
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Rabobank on the unfolding worst case scenario:
Ah, that explains why they're keen for the IEA to act. The US didn't refill its Strategic Petroleum Reserve before starting a Middle East war. Briliant. www.ft.com/content/d546...
This is incredibly on point.
Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.
It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.

I’ve been thinking for a day how hollow and sad this sounds after years of Europe selling out on its values.

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
Javier Blas @JavierBlas · 34m CHART OF THE DAY: We have forgotten how bad the European energy crisis of 2022 really was. So let me refresh memories: German electricity prices. It may still get uggly.

lessons from the first blackout of the green era
You can really learn a lot by observing the language of ppl like this
Notice how fossil fuels causing a price spike = "energy" crisis, where renewables merely existing on the same grid as a major blackout = "the first blackout of the green era"
I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.
Trumps oorlog in Iran toont aan hoe afhankelijk we zijn van onstabiele fossiele brandstoffen. Sinds het begin van de oorlog zijn de gasprijzen met 93% gestegen, wat hogere rekeningen voor ons betekent, terwijl winstbejagende gasbedrijven een fortuin verdienen.

The timeline offering a reminder that, despite our differences, we're really all suffering from a plague of elite nepotism.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.
Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.
Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.
And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.
Yes, this is oligarchy.
What does the potentially emerging energy crisis mean for Europe?
Yesterday I was in a media briefing with 75 journalists. Here is a snippet of what I told them.
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
The Green Party has leapfrogged Labour and the Conservatives to second place in the polls behind Reform UK

Next, the make-a-wish presidency will let Barron launch some missiles at Iran
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
The Western media is acting as a propaganda machine for the illegal Iran war 👇

Ah yes, the great theories of international relations.
1. Realism.
2. Liberalism.
3. We have never before reached the FO state of FAFO and are thus supremely confident we can keep the FA up indefinitely with no consequences whatsoever. Plus, shit exploding is great content. Let's fucking goooooo!

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
