@angeloinchina In 2006, Warren Buffet said in a NYT interview:
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
...that's 20 years ago

The pyramid of geopolitical “awareness”
Level 0 > US, Israel, the West are good, they are the only democracies and beacon of freedom and human rights.
Level 1 > it is the “left” against the “right” > “the leftards” against the “trumptards”
Level 2 > Israel controls the US and the World…oversimplification.
Level 3 > pedo-Epstein elites control both Israel and the US, Israel is merely a tool for the pedo-Epstein elites who have a globalist project to destroy the individual, nation states, religions, traditions, cultures.
Turn the masses into slave labour and zombified consumers. > here separation group of individuals as opposed to nations/countries.
Level 4 > Ultimately it is a “class struggle” where elites need to divide and control the masses, differences are not countries but classes. The elites will divide the masses, will enrich themselves through wars. They need total control, what they fear most is the 99% to unite against them.
An oversimplification here, an attempt to bring more clarity.

@TheSaviour Now, as the walls are closing in, they suddenly want to declare themselves as the "good Jews".
Reminds me of the recent peace demonstrations in Israel: When missles starting to hit their cities, they suddenly became advocates for peace.

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious. After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!” Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

This US government study on Deepseek's competitiveness is pretty funny, check out their methodology for cost comparison vs US models (direct quote from the study):
"For the purpose of cost comparison, CAISI selected a U.S. reference model by filtering out U.S. models that performed significantly worse on public benchmarks or that cost significantly more per token than DeepSeek V4 Pro."
Meaning, for cost comparison they literally exclude the US models that are way more expensive than DeepSeek 🤣
Which, it turns out, is *ALL* US models save for GPT-5.4 mini, the only US model retained for cost comparison.
And, here's the funniest part: despite doing this - which is objectively insanely biased - Deepseek STILL came out cheaper "on 5 out of 7 CAISI benchmarks" (!), most notably 53% cheaper on the SWE-Bench software engineering benchmark (on which, in terms of results, Deepseek fares competitively against US frontier models).

DeepSeek V4’s capability lags behind leading U.S. models by about 8 months. nist.gov/news-events/ne…

@Glenn_Diesen @NakedHedgie I'd argue if the Europeans stop teasing the Russian bear, they wouldn't need a military at all.

@angeloinchina They have yet to learn, that throwing more money at something doesn't always get you better results.
It usually increases profits and corruption.
Example: The Nato 155mm artillery shell before the Ukraine war was 2000€.
Now it's between 4000€ and 8000€.

Bipartisan war machine in full swing.
Trump’s Pentagon wants to crank military spending up 50% to $1.5 TRILLION >>> putting the US on a “wartime footing” for conflict with China & Russia.
Dems cheered it on, praising troops and slamming “far left” peace voices while funding endless wars.
Both parties = one Empire.
This is preparation for global domination and war crimes.
Wake up NOW
Unplug The Empire@UnplugTheEmpire
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday on the Trump administration’s plan to increase military spending by 50 percent, from $1 trillion this year to $1.5 trillion in Fiscal Year 2027. Hegseth, who has rebranded the Pentagon as “the Department of War,” told the committee the budget would put the defense industrial base “back on a wartime footing.” The request is the sharpest single-year jump in US military spending in the postwar era. It would lift outlays to 4.5 percent of gross domestic product, with House Republican leaders calling for 5 percent as the eventual target. The buildup is preparation for war with nuclear-armed China and Russia, the two states Trump’s National Defense Strategy names as principal adversaries. In the face of a broadly unpopular administration openly stating its intent to commit war crimes in pursuit of global domination, the Democrats on the committee made it their highest priority to emphasize—despite tactical disagreements—their solidarity with the Trump administration’s megalomaniacal program of world conquest. Democratic ranking member Adam Smith of Washington opened by expressing his sympathy with the Iran war and with the 50 percent surge in military spending. “I think we should all recognize that our troops deserve nothing but our praise for the incredible job that they have done,” Smith told Hegseth. “We have demonstrated to the world that we have a highly capable military, and I hear the chairman on the need for an increased” budget. Smith then condemned the mass popular opposition to the war. “I strongly disagree with the folks on the far left who say that we don’t really face any threats, that the US is a malign influence in the world and always has been. I don’t agree with that,” Smith said. “China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis,” he continued, “They want to push us aside.” Republican Don Bacon of Nebraska summed up the bipartisan consensus for global war. “We are the most bipartisan committee out of 20 in Congress. We have a tradition of voting on NDAAs with large, large majorities year after year,” Bacon said. “And it’s important not to be a Republican first in here or a Democrat first. We’re Americans trying to ensure that our country is well defended. And in that spirit, I compliment the operations in Iran.” Bacon is correct about the bipartisanship of the war drive. The Democrats funded the buildup before the Iran war began and refused to halt it once it was under way. The House passed the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act on December 10, 2025, by 312 to 112, with the entire Democratic House leadership voting yes; the Senate followed 77 to 20. On January 22, 2026, the House cleared an $839 billion defense appropriations bill 341 to 88. On February 2, 21 House Democrats supplied the margin for a continuing resolution to keep the government funded; the same day, a US F-35 from the USS Abraham Lincoln shot down an Iranian drone over the Arabian Sea. Twenty-six days later, the US-Israeli assault on Iran began. Once it had, both chambers voted down War Powers Act resolutions to stop it. The plan’s largest line item, $71 billion, would massively expand the US nuclear arsenal—new ballistic-missile submarines, long-range bombers and intercontinental missiles aimed at China and Russia. Shipbuilding receives $65 billion. Bombs and conventional missiles get $25 billion. The “Golden Dome” missile-defense program is funded at $22 billion. The Space Force budget doubles. Procurement rises 76 percent and research and development 64 percent. Another $54.6 billion is earmarked for a Defense Autonomous Warfare Group to wage drone war, most of it contingent on a future reconciliation bill. Hegseth said the budget would put 14 munitions production lines on a sustained wartime tempo—Patriot, PAC-3, THAAD, Tomahawk, AMRAAM and JASSM missiles among them—with companies offered multi-year demand signals to expand their factories. The active-duty force grows by 44,000 troops. The Pentagon claims to have triggered more than $50 billion in private investment, 280 new factories and 18 million square feet of American manufacturing floorspace. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine called the budget “a historic down payment on future security.” Republican Mike Rogers of Alabama, chair of the House committee, framed the request around preparation for war with China. “China builds 47% of the world’s ships. The US builds one-tenth of 1%. We build fewer ships than Croatia or the Netherlands,” Rogers said. The Chinese military, he added, has become “a modernized military force capable of projecting power well into the Pacific.” Caine said the Pentagon was reviewing “all three legs of the nuclear triad”—submarines, missiles and bombers—to make sure they were “reliable, redundant, and workable” for, in his words, “our nation’s most important day.” Hegseth warned the committee that “the country that dominates in quantum will dominate the future in C2, in comms, in every way that we fight.” Bacon called for a nuclear buildup expressly aimed at Beijing: “Russia, China needs to know no matter what they do, we can launch those 400 ICBMs.” The defense secretary spoke the vocabulary of a crime boss. He said the spending would build a military that “instills nothing less than unrelenting fear in our adversaries.” He cited the year’s operations as proof. “That matters when you go 37 hours around the world for Midnight Hammer,” he said, referring to the June 2025 B-2 bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. “That matters when you go downtown in Venezuela and grab the indicted dictator of a country in the middle of the night.” Russian air defenses sent to protect Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro before his January 3 abduction, Hegseth said, “were defeated in 15 minutes.” Democratic Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts questioned Hegseth over his March 13 press conference order to give boats in the Caribbean “no quarter, no mercy.” Moulton, a former Marine Corps officer with four combat tours in Iraq from 2003 to 2008, said, “An order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.” Hegseth did not retract the order. “The Department of War fights to win,” he replied. Wednesday’s hearing made clear that the war on Iran is one phase of a global war the American ruling class is preparing for control of the world. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

@thecyrusjanssen I ask myself:
Is it really stupidity, or are they just pursuing a different goal?
English
The world would be a better place if stupidity was painful 🤦🏻♂️
How many times has the US launched regime change operations and bombed other countries with the hope the local population would rise up, turn against their leaders and somehow magically form a democracy and live happily ever after?
News flash, the US government has never launch a successful air campaign against another country that resulted in a successful regime change. It’s beyond idiotic to think this time in Iran will be different
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent
Amid the impact of Economic Fury, Iran’s currency has hit an all-time low. The Iranian people deserve a new era, which the corrupt and shambolic Iranian regime cannot provide. With their oil industry closing and their currency plummeting, it is past time for the Iranian regime to concede that the people of Iran deserve much better than the ruins of their current regime can provide.

I have repeatedly said that the way to understand Vladimir PUTIN is to remember that he is a lawyer. What happened during yesterday's call was that PUTIN gave TRUMP a CEASE AND DESIST demand. The Kremlin's wording could not be more clear
"if the United States and Israel resume military action, this would inevitably lead to extremely adverse consequences not only for Iran and its neighbours, but for the entire international community...... a ground operation on Iranian territory would be particularly unacceptable and dangerous."
Classic lawyer's language, backed by the implicit threat provided by Russia's continued support for Iran.
For the moment it looks as if Trump is heeding the demand which is why the call in all other respects went well. All discussed in this video

@angeloinchina A little correction, Angelo:
The CDU (Metz's Party) cannot really be described a right wing party. It is a centrist, in many cases even left-centrist party.
The AFD is the only right wing party in Germany.
CDU/CSU and FDP more centrist.
The rest is pretty much all left leaning.

Germany announces one of the largest austerity plans in its history.
It was adopted by the right in power in agreement with the social democrats of the SPD, the German PS.
38 billion will notably be cut in healthcare by 2030. A catastrophe in a country already aging.
And all this for what? To fund the war.
Germany has promised NATO and Trump to comply with its directives, by increasing military spending from 2 to 5% of GDP.
In Germany as in France, the same logic: the right colludes with the old left to destroy social protections and fund the war. And in the end, it's the far right that advances.
We reject this logic. Germany's brutal rearmament under American diktat is a threat to peace. The peoples should not suffer to finance Trump's wars.
But nothing is inevitable. In Germany, in France, or in Great Britain, the old left that has betrayed workers so much is now overtaken by the radical left, the breakaway left. Resistance.

L'Allemagne annonce l'un des plus grands plans d'austérité de son histoire. Il a été adopté par la droite au pouvoir en accord avec les sociaux démocrates du SPD, le PS allemand. 38 milliards seront notamment coupés dans la santé d'ici 2030. Une catastrophe dans un pays déjà vieillissant. Et tout ça pour quoi ? Pour financer la guerre. L'Allemagne a promis à l'OTAN et à Trump de répondre à ses consignes, en faisant passer les dépenses militaires de 2 à 5% du PIB. En Allemagne comme en France, la même logique : la droite pactise avec la vieille gauche pour détruire la protection sociale et financer la guerre. Et à la fin, c'est l'extrême droite qui progresse. Nous refusons cette logique. Le réarmement brutal de l'Allemagne sous le diktat étatsunien est une menace pour la paix. Les peuples n'ont pas à souffrir pour financer les guerres de Trump. Mais rien n'est inéluctable. En Allemagne, en France ou en Grande-Bretagne, la vieille gauche qui a tant trahi les travailleurs est maintenant dépassée par la gauche radicale, de rupture. Résistance.
