The most dangerous phase of war is rarely the beginning
It is the middle phase, when leaders believe backing down would signal weakness and escalation becomes easier than stopping
The opening moves of the Iran war are already behind us
The real question is whether the conflict is already sliding into the Escalation Trap.

Iran is not losing. It is gaining power. Since Feb 28, Iran has exported over 10 million barrels of oil, earning a $1 billion or more—as price of oil has soared, and shock waves hit the region and western economies.

Europe should close *all* of the US bases on its soil. There can be no "strategic autonomy" while the United States maintains the ability to commit wanton violence from imperial installations on European territory.

Honoring Berta Cáceres, 10 yrs later
In these times of extreme US-led, Western violence & aggression
On March 2, 2016, Berta was assassinated because of all she opposed & fought against, and all that she worked & struggled for
We remember & honor her:

“To me, what stood out was Mark Carney — who we praised a lot. He stood up at Davos and said the international order was broken because it only worked for powerful countries... And I think what’s really disappointing about his statement is I guess he was only talking about trade. I guess we don’t care if the United States just goes around bombing countries with impunity.”
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes), former Obama deputy national security adviser, on allied governments’ response to U.S. strikes on Iran
Rhodes also criticized the E3 (UK, France, Germany) and Australia for issuing statements that either endorsed Washington’s actions or hid behind diplomatic word salad — avoiding any direct challenge to Trump’s expanding use of force.

🇪🇸 Spain condemns U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran, denounces Iranian attacks on Gulf states, blocks U.S. base use Spain has rejected the joint U.S.–Israeli military operation against Iran, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calling it a “unilateral” and “dangerous escalation” that violates international law and the UN Charter. At the same time, Sánchez condemned Iran’s strikes on Gulf countries, saying Spain “condemns in the strongest terms all illegal and indiscriminate attacks” against Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Oman and Cyprus. He urged an end to the “spiral of violence” and a return to diplomacy. Madrid has refused to allow the U.S. to use the jointly operated bases at Rota and Morón for strikes on Iran. Reports say at least 15 U.S. aircraft, including refueling tankers, have since relocated to other European bases. Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares also described Iran’s retaliatory attacks as “absolutely unjustified” while reiterating Spain’s call for de-escalation. Still, Spain remains the only major EU country to explicitly criticize the U.S.–Israeli operation. The position follows a 2025 arms embargo on Israel and bans on weapons transit through Spanish airspace and ports.

🚨 Marco Rubio Is Deliberately Blocking Trump From Cuba Talks
The Secretary of State has told the president that talks are happening with high-level Cuban officials. No such talks exist. Purported negotiations in Mexico? Actual fake news.

Colombia’s far-right — like their reactionary allies across the continent — hoped for another coup today. Instead, they saw a President sit in the Oval Office with dignity and aplomb to navigate the choppiest waters of the country’s bilateral relationship with the United States.

With a 30-day state of emergency, Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo is not channeling Bukele, an expert writes. But the country's compromised justice system makes this a dangerous moment that threatens lasting consequences.

I'm confused how this isn't the biggest story in the world right now. Trump has launched a regime change war in Venezuela. He and @marcorubio are lying and pretending its about fentanyl, but it's really about oil. We've seen this movie before and it ends badly.
