Luftalarm in Litauen, in Lettland fallen Abi-Prüfungen aus, in Estland wird eine Drohne abgeschossen. Die Nato wird auf die Probe gestellt.

There will be neither peace nor tranquility with Trump in office.

2 #China tankers laden w total of 4m barrels of oil exited the #StraitOfHormuz on Wednesday South Korean oil tanker is passing through the Strait, the first crossing by a South Korea-managed ship since the US- #Israel War began #IranWar

Seit dem Hamas-Angriff vom 7. Oktober 2023 ist Antisemitismus im Vereinigten Königreich kein Randphänomen mehr – er hat den kulturellen Mainstream erreicht, von Glastonbury bis zur Green Party. Mein Artikel für die Süddeutsche Zeitung: www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/engla...

Das Belästigen von Juden auf offener Straße entwickelt sich zu einem kalkulierten Social-Media-Phänomen. Jüngst bekannt gewordene Fälle aus Großbritannien zeigen, wie antisemitische Anfeindungen gezielt gefilmt, inszeniert und anschließend millionenfach in sozialen Netzwerken verbreitet werden.

The three men killed in Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego were a shopkeeper, his friend and a security guard who had warned teachers inside the mosque’s school to lock the classroom doors before his death, an action that probably saved many lives, the center’s director said.

The dual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is confusing. Does the US Navy prevent tankers with oil destined for China from passing?

Trump doesn`t need an extravagant ballroom to do his awkward YMCA chereography.

The grand style reception accorded Trump in Beijing put the vulgarity of himself and his entourage in sharp relief.

Trump doesn`t do diplomacy. Xi Jinping does. Skillfully so.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

John le Carré described Boris Johnson as a "mob orator" who fired up people with nostalgia and with anger. He said "What really scares me about nostalgia is that it's become a political weapon. Creating a nostalgia for an England that never existed, and selling it as something we could return to"

If Trump doesn`t engage in diplomacy in the Gulf region others will. And it will be to his disadvantage.

If RFK jr. is tasked with assessing Trump`s health he has nothing to fear.

The implied message of Xi Jinping`s throwing in the Thucidides trap is that Trump had better come to terms with the US being surpassed by China.

Xi Jinping pranked Trump by throwing in the Thucidides trap. Who among Trump`s entourage where the first ones to google it on their smartphones? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump and Netanyahu have set back the cause of Iranian freedom. Their responsibility for the political winter that follows will not be small. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

Trump's capitulation on Taiwan has been explicit and striking. Has any of the China hawks who've justified support for or acquiescence to Trump because "he'll be tough on China" reconsidered? Has any acknowledged they were wrong? Feel free to offer names of those who have or haven't in the replies.

Apart from being about himself Trump`s speeches are content free.

Xi Jinping`s address had content. Trump liked the children waving at him at his arrival.

Not everyone is warming to Xi Jinping`s notion that he and Trump are ruling the world.

Xi Jingping appears to have the better hand in what Trump appears to see as a game of poker.

The contrast couldn`t be starker: ego obsessed US President meets principled Chinese statesman.

Xi Jiping needn`t do a thing. Trump is digging his own grave.

Did Trump, being ever so meek in Beijing, lift tariffs on imports from China, or does he, back in his Oval Office comfort zone, revert to his foul bullying self?

Voila. USA lost the war. Lock, stock and barrel.

. Birmingham, Alabama, 5-3-1963 . . . ... is all of this to repeat itself ? 🖕 Trump's racist America !

In an article in the New York Review of Books Fintan O`Toole is pondering whether Trump is using acting crazy as a negotiating strategy but concludes that he is genuinely unhinged. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Xi Jinping may have the edge as dealmaker. Is Trump actually going to Beijing?

Trump will be most upset:

With Trump disengaging from NATO Trump cannot claim NATO poses a threat to Russia.

Friends — We are witnessing what happens to a person who is consumed with the need to dominate but cannot. Trump's looming failure in Iran is not just a serious geopolitical defeat for the United States; it’s a personal crisis. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-blow-up

As Russian aggression continues and Trump’s US threatens NATO, it is even more vital for a unified defence of the continent, writes @fromtga.bsky.social. #ViewsfromtheCouncil https://ecfr.eu/article/germanys-military-power-is-on-the-rise-this-time-it-must-be-firmly-embedded-in-europe/

In Großbritannien ist Antisemitismus nicht erst seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 normalisiert worden. Immer mehr Juden wandern nach Israel aus.
