1/5. The way Trump, Trump Jr, Tuberville, and Hannity are talking now about Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Canada plagiarizes Putin in 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine.

Sehr guter und differenzierter Kommentar zum Genozid-Vorwurf gegen Israel: Empfehlenswerter Beitrag aus F.A.Z.:

Israels Krieg in Gaza: Der Genozid-Vorwurf weist in die falsche Richtung
Israel einen Völkermord in Gaza vorzuwerfen, wird der Wirklichkeit im Nahen Osten nicht gerecht. Und es zeugt von einer Blindheit für das, was der 7. Oktober mit Israel machte.

Yes. That’s the point. Musk wants the United States to collapse. His sort of oligarch sees local fascists as a tool to destroy the functioning democratic state everywhere.
So… from someone who actually took the time to read the AFD’s election manifesto…
AFD in its foreign policy choices is anti-American.
Wants to put Nordstream II to use. Wants to join the Chinese belt-and-road initiative.

One of the most fundamental developments in German politics of the last years: Greens and CDU are now seen to agree *most* in the realm of foreign and security policy. 🤯

Prime Minister Michel Barnier will most likely remain as a caretaker until a replacement is named. But the vote could create a wider opening for the far right.

Die Mehrheit der Deutschen findet die Aufhebung der Reichweitenbeschränkung für ATACMS richtig und ist für mehr Militärhilfe.
