Kinder, Essen ist fertig!

Right then. Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic. No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works. You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available? You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant. NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Die Bundesregierung könnte die Verteuerung von Energie durch die CO2-Steuer aussetzen und damit ein beispielloses Konjunkturprogramm entfachen. Sie könnte das Fracking-Verbot aufheben, was zu einer Reindustrialisierung führen würde.

 Sie könnte das Kernkraftverbot aufheben und den Kohleausstieg bei noch 27 großen Kraftwerken beenden oder aufschieben.

 Aber die Bundesregierung beschloss das Klimaschutzprogramm 2026, das uns etwa 30 Milliarden € kosten wird. tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/klima…

Der "globale Süden" ist mir, mit Verlaub, absolut Scheißegal.

@hendrikgerstung Im Kommunismus stören diese Güter per se. Warum nicht gleich verbieten 🤷‍♂️

Fahimi: „Deutschland könnte eine sehr viel höhere Mehrwertsteuer auf Luxusgüter einführen, etwa auf extrem teure Uhren, Yachten, Schmuck oder Luxusautos.“ Ab wann bitte, Frau Fahimi, ist eine Uhr "extrem teuer" und wann nur teuer? Bin ziemlich allergisch gegen gewürfelte, willkürliche Werte.

Horseshit. You betrayed Europe — not the other way around. You slapped tariffs on us and called our servicemen cowards, and then you wailed like mewling, puking infants when no-one wanted to help you play soldiers in the Middle East. Sit down sonny, the adults are talking now.

@alpenmaster Ich kann mich nicht daran erinnern, jemals zum Spargelessen gezwungen worden zu sein. Nein, es gibt keinen Zwang Spargel gut zu finden. Für alle, die keinen Spargel mögen, ihr könnt am Spargelfeld weitergehen, es gibt nichts zu sehen.

Das Problem in Deutschland sind unter Anderem solche Kommentare. Spargel als Phallus? Grundgütiger.

@alpenmaster Das ist glaub‘ ich Satire, aber die Spiegel Stokowski meint es so.

@TDrygala @mlorke1004 Eins ist klar: Schon das Wort „Freiheit“ dürfen wir nicht den Grünen überlassen. Wir haben alle sehen müssen, was sie aus dem Wort „Frau“ gemacht haben.

@AriFleischer Most people nodding to your utterly false statement here would be checkmate after 5 moves. Russian propaganda runs deep in the US, Putin has all his objectives fulfilled.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@pulpmx Next SX Season 2027 title contenders are: Lawrence bros., Danger, Sexton, Prado.

Deegs is a good rider

@CMXR__ He‘ll be a title contender soon.

Prado is the new Mike Alessi of the 450 class. Pull a great start and ride the widest bike possible to get in the way of all the faster guys behind you for as long as you can

@LVNiteOwl @LFried76 @AriFleischer USA has changed dramatically since Trump was president. It has elected corrupt, low IQ leaders, been flooded with fake news and MAGA people, and probably never will be united again.

@LFried76 @AriFleischer Western Europe has changed dramatically since Bush was president. It has elected weak leaders, been invaded by Islam, and capitulated.

@_HenryBolton @AriFleischer He‘ll never answer, because all he wanted was a cheap shot.

People like @AriFleischer are either immensely stupid, appallingly badly informed or incredibly dishonest. 1) Anyone can read the North Atlantic Charter (NATO Treaty) - just google it - and see for themselves that NATO cannot be mobilised for this war. 2) When has the UK sold the United States out? Never. The US has sold us out though, a few times. 3) UK bases are being used daily for strikes on Iran. 4) If you wanted allied support in this war, perhaps it would have been wise to a) asked them b) involve them in the planning for it, rather than just start a war on your own and then demand we get involved. Ari, you are doing the American people no favours by misleading them.

@AriFleischer If you could only think for second.

@emmacnicholson He‘s sitting in front of the TV.

A Marine sentry is standing at the door of the West Wing as of 1:50pm, indicating the president is working inside.

Die Energiewende bringt uns um. Die Bundesregierung könnte die CO₂-Steuer aussetzen und das Fracking-Verbot aufheben, den Atomausstieg rückgängig machen und den Kohleausstieg beenden. Aber die Bundesregierung beschloß lieber das Klimaschutzprogramm 2026. tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/klima…

Ich fordere die Prüfung, ob @larsklingbeil noch zurechnungsfähig ist.

@ischinger @McFaul One reason given for the war is accurate. Iran is a terrorist regime that oppresses, tortures, and kills its population. It is also attempting to acquire nuclear weapons. There are also reasons to support the war.

@McFaul Ok, a dilemma: Let’s agree that, not unlike the President of the US, European Prime Ministers are entitled to taking account of public opinion in their own country, and of the widespread view that allowing the use of US airbases might amount to a participation in an illegal war

Even if you did not support Trumps decision to launch of war of choice against Iran (like me), restricting the use of US airbases in NATO countries imprudently damages NATO unity. Yes, Trumps threats to invade/annex NATO countries does too. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

@McFaul The days when European bases were used by America to project power to other continents - is over Blocking aid to Ukraine and attempting to invade Greenland and Canada - were very bad policy decisions
