Next up in the Iran war: Trump begs Europe and Asia for help

Die CDU ist „technologieoffen“ falsch abgebogen. www.ft.com/content/9858... FT: China’s BYD takes on Porsche and BMW with 5-minute ‘flash charging’

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2077...

Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law. When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

Trump knows the power of leverage, but not of asymmetry. He needs to learn fast (via Bloomberg Opinion)

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Es wird höchste Zeit, dass sich die Unternehmen, die eben auch "die Wirtschaft" sind, mal deutlich zu Wort melden. Dass schwarz-rot in Wahrheit Politik für Gasverkäufer und zwei Netzkonzerne macht, wird allen anderen nämlich schaden. www.spiegel.de/wirts...

NEW: The US-Israeli combined force appears to be increasingly targeting the Iranian internal security apparatus, which is consistent with the US-Israeli stated objective of toppling the Iranian regime. Read the full report: isw.pub/IranUpdate03... Other Key Takeaways:

❗️BREAKING: President Trump confirmed Supreme Leader Khamenei is dead, saying the operation was conducted working closely with Israel. Trump said bombing of Iran will continue throughout the week, or as long as necessary, to achieve peace in the Middle East. #Iran

People in the Iranian city of Karaj are dancing and celebrating following the confirmation of Khamenei's death. Few IRGC or Basij units are visible on the streets nationwide, with only scattered clashes reported. #Iran

Die Schweiz stimmt über ein Klima-Finanzierungsziel ab: 0,5% bis 1% des BIP soll der Staat für Klimaschutz ausgeben. Eine gute Gelegenheit, um die Geschichte des ökonomischen Denkens über die Ökonomie des Klimaschutzes aufzurollen. Have fun! www.tagesanzeiger.ch/klimafonds-i...

Tja lieber Markus Somm, wenn du auch nur 1 Sek nachdenken würdest, dann würdest du merken, dass netto-null die Schweiz unabhängiger von erpresserischen Erdöl-Exporteuren macht und damit stärker. Aber das ist wohl zu viel verlangt. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/trump-am-wef...

This would then crash the oil price to -50USD per barrel 😂

"We should have the lowest interest rate because we are the biggest economy" is really not how economics works.

Say what you want about the WWII talk. But "you can say No and we’ll remember" is not a hard threat on Greenland.

AFAIK the US was the only nation to ever trigger article 5 after 9/11. And Europe was there. Total denial by Trump on this.

Trump is really obsessed with windmills

99% of his speeches are like that

Trump's speech is pretty boring so far, honestly.

These are the lucky nations who will get to pay for rooms at Mar-a-Lago, where the peace board will have its meeting ;-)

“Most Americans don’t agree with Mr. Trump’s trying to buy Greenland, and many more oppose the idea of taking it by force. Fantasies deflate quickly once real costs become obvious, but it is impossible for Europe to impose costs without incurring risks itself.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o...

At this point, the Nobel committee should just ring Trump and tell him he'll get the prize - if he backs off Greenland. And the year after that, they can award the prize to themselves.

Wait, wasn't he supposed to be the adult in the room?

"Activate the Anti-Coercion Instrument!" also sounds kinda cool. Imagine a sci-fi space captain saying this to the 1st officer.

Die Zahl der Toten im Iran ist unfassbar. Sogar das Regine selbst spricht von über 5.000. Ärzte von mindestens 16.500 und 330.000 Verletzten. Was für ein schreckliches Massaker, es übersteigt die Vorstellungskraft www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

Huge warning sign, but as a side note: when I post on here “Americans are richer than Europeans” I always get a lot of crap, and I am just wondering whether people in Europe grasp that as of October the *average* American expected to spend $1000 on Christmas

Sieben Schritte zur Selbsterkenntnis: mein launischer Rückblick auf die Monate, in denen Trump den Schweizern eine verdrängte Tatsache zurück ins Bewusstsein gerufen hat. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/zoelle-deal-...

Der Schweizer Zoll-Deal ist im wesentlichen identisch mit dem Angebot, das die Schweiz den USA schon im Juli gemacht hat. Aber Trump hat sich drei Monate lang kapriziert. Tja. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/zoll-deal-im...

Sehr schön umgesetzt, liebe @republik.ch - in einer Zeit, in der Klimaschutz im medialen Diskurs gerne links liegen gelassen wird, sind solche Beiträge doppelt so wichtig. www.republik.ch/2025/11/08/w...

Falsch: Die Rechtsübernahme ist eben nicht zwingend. Die Schweiz kann auch künftig selbst entscheiden, was sie übernehmen will. Retorsionsmassnahmen bei Abweichungen gibt es schon heute. Die neuen EU-Verträge bringen aber diesbezüglich mehr Berechenbarkeit. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/kommentar-zu...
