@NotWoofers This is long overdue. Like basically everything in this war.
Almost every action, every meaningful modern military support is basically a year too late.
Maybe now someone will move proactively.

I think an appropriate immediate response. But the following steps should be to enforce a no-fly zone 10-15 kilometers from Romania, including protecting Ukrainian airspace.

BREAKING: Romanian President Nicusor Dan says a Russian consul in the southeastern city of Constanta has been declared persona non grata and the Russian consulate there will be shut down. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

@SpaghettiKozak It began with the re-election of Trump and maybe, if we want to be honest, with Jan 6 not being the end of the him and the Maga movement.

This is of course Iraninan state news, so of course they'd say this, but unless Trump is willing to seriously commit, he effectively handed them control over the strait. The century of American humiliation has begun.

Iranian state media says that traffic levels will return to normal, but Iran will retain control of the Strait of Hormuz under the peace deal. “The management of the Strait, determining the route, time, method of passage, and issuing permits” will be controlled by Iran -Fars
English
This Iran „agreement“ will end up being but a weaker version of Obama‘s JCPOA.
If this passes - and I have no reason to doubt it - then it would mark a strategic defeat for Trump and the USA. The Iranian people will be thrown under the bus.
English
@NotWoofers Absolutely. Atm we are dealing with an open hostile, mega corrupt dictator-friendly fascist regime that sells out EU, Ukraine and very likely Taiwan next year if China dares to invade.
We (EU) have been too afraid and too slow.
English
European NATO members would be wise to buy as much time as possible to build up a credible deterrence. Part of that involves assisting Ukraine in blowing up as many Russians and blowing up as much of Russia’s stuff as possible.
It may be years before the Trans-Atlantic partnership is returned to a good one and this administration is trying hard to sever it. Europe needs to be ready to go at it alone if necessary and it needs time to get there.

“The Trump administration is planning to tell NATO allies this week that it will shrink the pool of military capabilities that the U.S. would have available to assist the alliance's European nations in a major crisis, three sources familiar with the matter said. Under a framework known as the NATO Force Model, the alliance's member countries identify a pool of available forces that could be activated during a conflict or any other major crisis, such as a military attack on a NATO member. While the precise composition of those wartime forces is a closely guarded secret, the Pentagon has decided to significantly scale down its commitment, said the sources, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the plans.” @G_Slattery @JonathanLanday @andrew_r_gray reuters.com/world/us-plans…

@sparbuchfeinde Bro, genau dafür hast du doch gestimmt? Genau das wollten die Neoliberalen und Konservativen, die du die ganze Zei unterstützt. Und jetzt wird sich nen armes Bauernopfer gesucht und rumgeheult 😭😭😭

Das neue Normal in Deutschland. Die gesetzliche Rente reicht nicht. Alte Menschen müssen weiterarbeiten.
Wer nie in die Kasse einbezahlt hat und Grundsicherung bezieht, ist besser gestellt als viele Rentner.

@LokiEstraven Ahh ja, des stimmr halt net. Aber ich denke, dass wir da nicht drüber diskutieren müssen. Ich kann vieles an ihm kritisieren, aber Grifter... das ist er halt absolut gar nicht.
Deutsch
@MachMaJJ Ich weiß,,dass du mich kritisieren wolltest, aber Natalie hatte da einfach recht und das tritt heute noch stärker zu tage als damals. Und nein Hasan ist Nepobaby und Grifter, ohne historischen oder politischen Sachverstand, der über Identitätsmarker und contrarianism hinaus geht.
Deutsch
Eines der größten Probleme der gegenwärtigen Linken ist, dass sie Leute auf der Hasan-Piker-Line für radikal hält, während deren Weltbild und materialistisches Handeln nichts anzubieten hat als den Status Quo. Nicht anders oder besser als die alt right von vor 10 Jahren.
Deutsch
@LokiEstraven Also ich hab damit dich kritisiert hahaha oder mir entgeht der smarte Konter 😅
Hasan ist natürlich kein radikaler Anarchist, aber dennoch in vielen Einstellungen sehr links und zT radikal... und hat definitiv mehr als tausendfach bessere Ideen/Ideologie als die altright lol.
Deutsch
@MachMaJJ Precisely und unironisch. Die beste Entscheidung, die ich in den letzten Jahren getroffen habe, war definitiv, Nietzsche zu lesen.

@einsteinradler @VorgBeob @nicolange_ Macht ja auch Sinn, oder? Es ist der größte Krieg aufm europäischem Kontinent seit WW2 und viele erhoffen sich, dass Ukr Russland zur Niederlage zwingen/bewegen kann. Ich find Weld auch recht dumm, aber dass Ukr Fortschritte macht, ist positiv.

@einsteinradler @CFinckelstein Klar kann man keine strategischen Durchbrüche davon ableiten, aber:
1. Moskau wurde zur Parade extrem verstärkt, sehr viel AA zusammengezogen, dennoch kamen einige Drohnen durch. Andere Teile Russlands wurden geschwächt, die ukr Zermürbungsstrategie trägt Früchte.
Deutsch
@CFinckelstein Weil Lange hier einfach als ukrainisches Sprachrohr Optimismus verbreitet. Seriös lässt sich nämlich nichts aus dem Angriff auf Moskau irgend etwas über den weiteren Kriegsverlauf ableiten.

Meine Güte. Können diese Leute eigentlich auch mal mal einfach nichts kommentieren?

@SpaghettiKozak The margin of many democrate races/elections are razor thinn and every % helps. Every young person knocking on doors, doing donation and canvassing runs helps.
And Hasan certainly motivates Ppl doing just that.
English
@SpaghettiKozak Yeees, but that doesnt mean he isnt influential? El-Sayed jumped massively ahead in polls and donations because of Hasans event. He motivates ppl to go canvassing. The thing is he could be even larger IF the dems would actually allow it.
The GoP pumps millions into their media.

There's just no way this guy could ever be an asset to the Democratic party.

You could tell he’s beyond seething because I ratio’d him despite me having a tiny fraction of an audience compared to him. Sure dude, blame the algorithms as opposed to people just thinking you’re stupid for wanting to send a trans woman to die in Iran for disagreeing with you.
English
@IAPonomarenko The whole "we cant focus on Ukraine, we need AA, atacms, tanks etc for Taiwan" shtick was ridiculious from the start but we had to endure it...
Hopefully this whole spiel finally ends here.

As if anyone seriously doubted that Trump would just fold instantly and give up everything

Trump on Taiwan: When you look at the odds, China is a very, very powerful, big country. That’s a very small island. Think of it; it’s 59 miles away. We’re 9,500 miles away. That’s a little bit of a difficult problem. If you look at the history, Taiwan was developed because we had presidents that didn’t know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry.
English
@PhillipsPOBrien And we had to sit here and listen to these delusional Ppl talking big about the strategic shift away from Ukraine to Tawain.
How it was necessary since the US could not fight two wars. That AA, atacms and somehow tanks were needed for Taiwan and so on.
The US is truly declining.
English
First he abandoned Ukraine and now he is abandoning Taiwan. Sucks to be a democratic friend of the USA these days.

@AdrianP_doc It makes no sense playing this game anyway. Both Russia and Israel are horrific, fascists, wanting mass death and genocide states with different level of influence. Ukrainian palastenian and lebanese Ppl are suffering. We shouldnt put that in a competition.
English
@AdrianP_doc I mean they condem it but dont do anything. On the flip side war crimes by Russia are described and mentioned very clearly in media but when it comes to Gaza/Lebanon the mainstream media avoids naming Israel and its atrocities in every form imaginable.
It is different but same.
English
Whenever Israel blows up a UN vehicle in Gaza, the West Bank or Lebanon, the UN and the western left are quick to condemn it (rightfully).
When the Russians do ir in Ukraine - fucking crickets

@kriegsforscherD But thats exactly the point. You need to actual shame/embarress the actual higher ups before the maschine starts moving. Unterwise they pull out every excuse in the book to not improve the situation.
Exercises like these are important and need to continue.
English
@_night_brain__ It is because he is an incredible weak, milk toast leader and didnt do anything substential to actually solve GB problems. He supports the genoicde happening in Gaza, the crazy suppression of protestors, surrenders to Reform on multiple issues (trans/immi rights) etcetc.
