Spain closes airspace to US planes involved in Iran war, defense minister says trib.al/RJn0GUA

@NotWoofers Very glad to see an american who not blame Macron or some european no name leaders for everything.

Despite having zero obligation to join an offensive war, the British and the French have committed aircraft to defend US troops and allies in the Middle East. In return, they have been met with derision.
Mind you, this comes immediately after months of hostile U.S. rhetoric towards the territory of a treaty ally.
Marco knows what he is saying is bullshit. It’s extremely embarrassing and insincere.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is dissatisfied with NATO’s cooperation on the Iran conflict and that all cooperation will need to be reassessed after the war. He adds the conflict will end once U.S. objectives are met.

@MattWalshBlog But they send a woman and a black guy to the space. This is not too woke to you? You blamed black pilots for the Boeing crashes.
English
It's ridiculous that NASA is launching a mission around the Moon this week that will send humans farther into space than ever before and it's getting almost no attention. A landmark moment in the history of our species. History books will care about this moment even if you don't.

The Pastry War of 1838 would like to have word: France invaded Mexico to force that nation to respect the croissant!

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war. The stupidest war in history.

@WallStreetMav So you are propose to bomb European cities with nuclear weapons? Copenhagen?
English
Americans dropped nukes on Japan twice and now they‘re best friends.
Americans defended Europeans for free the past 80 years and they are the most ungrateful pricks imaginable.
There is a lesson to be learned there.

@sentdefender I'm looking for MAGA twitter dudes who will blame Europe and Macron for this.

The New York Times is reporting that the U.S. will allow a Russian-flagged crude oil tanker, possibly the Anatoly Kolodkin, to dock and offload its approximately 730,000 barrels of crude oil amid a 'quarantine' of the island nation of Cuba.

@cdrsalamander What goals accomplished in Iran? Rise the american LNG market share in Europe? Sunk the worthless Iran Navy ships? Destroy few hundred rocket launchers? Killed some bunch and replecable of worthless Ayatollahs?
English
Non concur.
We went from in with publicly stated goals. We have accomplished them.
I remember hearing the same exact thing in the first few months of 2002 about Afghanistan. I’ve seen this movie before. I’ve seen this mindset in action. It’s a trap.

@johnkonrad Do you think Hitler was the good guy and Roosevelt was the bad guy? Many MAGA think the Normandy guys was losers who died for nothing.
English
Half the euroturds on my feed are telling me America needs to stay out of wars that don’t concern us.
The other half is tell me America is a bad ally for not joining WW2 before Germany declare war on us.
Oh the irony.
English
@johnkonrad And what will happen if canadians resist? You will support bombarding Toronto with HIMARS?
English
It’s not just that NATO refused nearly all our requests.
We can’t afford to protect Europe AND…
The world’s largest Arctic coastline
2nd-largest country on Earth
The longest border with a close China ally
The longest sub and missile approaches
The GIUK Gap
Because Canada’s military is pathetic and they are acting like children.
It’s just too much for us to do both. Not to mention growing commitments in the Pacific that Canada refuses to help with.
Are we going to protect Canada or Europe? That’s the question.
My children live in North America so ignoring Canada’s submarine and missile approaches just isn’t an option for me.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just said America no longer has to be there for NATO "We WOULD have always been there for them, but now, based on their actions? I guess we don't have to be, do we?!" "I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States, because we spent hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds, protecting them." Trump NEVER FORGETS.
English
@bencroyderived Very glad to see that you not blamed Macron or some no name european leaders for these losses. Many american military Rambo twitter dude always blame Macron and not Jim Beam Hegseth or The Orange Man.
English
This is $225M in equipment lost. If we were to replace these aircraft in lieu of expendables, like TLAM, that would be the cost equivalent of about 90 TLAMs.
We’re in a war of attrition folks. This comes with the territory.

Iranian forces appear to have damaged or destroyed multiple USAF KC-135 tankers parked in the open at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia.

@zriboua @NPinkoski So. You have against birth control, no-fault divorce and sexual liberation?
English
Congratulations to my friend @NPinkoski for translating a work that stands among the indispensable texts to France’s civilizational debate and to the resurgence of conservative politics throughout Europe. It is a controversial text, as the most consequential ones tend to be, and that is argument enough for reading it for we do not grow in understanding by engaging only with what already comforts us.
English
The US and Israel have each run countless simulations gaming out every single scenario, every option, and every potential reaction to every option. The idea that the Allied Powers would be caught flat-footed because the war is longer than 20 days is — to borrow a term from game theory — fucking retarded.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani
It does increasingly feel like large numbers of people in US, Europe and Israel just presumed Iran would roll over because they are a brown Muslim country. A domestic industrial base? No way. Can’t be overstated how much people’s biases were shaped by how stupid this man was.
English
@NickJFreitas What are you talking about? The MAGA crowd screaming STOP THE WAR! STOP THE FOREVER WARS! for 10 years.

The press is working overtime to try and convince the American people that we don’t actually want, what we absolutely voted for.

@RWMaloneMD The Republican party MAGA crowd midterm startegy appears to a single simple concept: Sabotage the Pentagon plans against China, Russia and Iran, blame Macron, Kamala, Obama and Joe Kent.

The Democrat party midterm strategy appears to be a single simple concept: Sabotage the USA, blame Trump
English
@bencroyderived Very refreshing experience reading this tweet. You blame Trump not Macron or some noname European politicians. Many american military "twitter guy" just blame Macron or the lightweight Starmer for everything.
English
Trump wasted so much political capital on this just to never follow through. Invasion wouldn’t be my first choice, in fact it’d be the last, but he really did all this, left it on the burner, just to invade Iran for Israel instead.
So erratic and self-defeating.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
As tensions with U.S. President Donald J. Trump peaked in recent month, the Danish Armed Forces had developed detailed plans to blow up airfields in Greenland in the event of an Invasion by the United States, with Soldiers who were sent to Greenland equipped with blood supplies and explosives to disable the runways in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, and in Kangerlussuaq, a small town in the Arctic Circle, two Europeans officials told the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.

@johnkonrad So if the Us navy seize a few tankers this was a Jack Sparrow thing Lettre de marque but if France size one tanker you have a meltdown? You have european derangement syndrome.

The US is removing sanctions from shadow fleet ships to ease energy prices while France increases seizures.
Hard to tell how much of this is politically motivated.
Emmanuel Macron@EmmanuelMacron
We remain resolute. This morning in the Mediterranean, the French Navy intercepted and boarded another vessel from the shadow fleet, the Deyna. The war involving Iran will not deflect France from its support for Ukraine, where Russia’s war of aggression continues unabated. These vessels, which evade international sanctions and violate the law of the sea, are profiteers of war. They line their pockets while helping finance Russia’s war effort. We will not allow it.

@bitesizellama @Schizointel I agree but the problem is that the americans also stupid.
English
@bentham981 @Schizointel They are fucking retards and every sensible American knows it
English
Good thing that we put that Aegis Ashore Battery in Romania and Poland we've only been telling everybody since like 2012, but Europeans kept disregarding it saying it wasn't real because Iran pinky promised that they weren't developing any such missiles.
Also, Iran's entire space program was also a cover for their ballistic missile development. Which Europe also ignored saying Iran would never militarize its space program.
Piers Morgan@piersmorgan
So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.
English
@WarveleyViolet @sentdefender Usa cannot bomb Iran indefinitely. If this is the real maximalist demand It's a joke. Without ground forces, marines, special forces, some ranger battalion or airborne troops this will not work. This is just Rolling Thunder Light
English
The demands are maximalist, but that's how negotiations work. You open with everything, see what sticks. Iran's leverage is the Strait, and the US's leverage is the continued bombing. Both sides know a deal will land somewhere in the middle, maybe a missile cap, maybe a freeze on enrichment, maybe a proxy ceasefire. The six point list isn't the final offer; it's the opening position. If both sides are already talking through mediators, is the real question whether there's enough common ground to start direct negotiations, or whether the gap is too wide to bridge?
English
After three weeks of war, the Trump Administration has begun initial discussions on the next phase and what peace talks with Iran might look like, with talks involving Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge told Axios.
There has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, though Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have all passed messages between two countries, with Egypt and Qatar informing the U.S. and Israel that there is interest to negotiate from Iran.
“Our view is we've stunted Iran's growth,” said one U.S. official who believes the Iranians will come to the table. The official said the U.S. wants Iran to make six commitments:
1. No missile program for five years.
2. Zero uranium enrichment.
3. Decommissioning of the reactors at the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities that the U.S. and Israel bombed last year.
4. Strict outside observation protocols around the creation and use of centrifuges and related machinery that could advance a nuclear weapons program.
5. Arms control treaties with regional countries that include a missile cap no higher than 1,000.
6. No financing for proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen or Hamas in Gaza.
