April 1945: In the final days of World War II, the Führer obsesses over absurdly large monuments for his reimagined Berlin, focusing on an idealized future rather than the reality of his collapsing Reich.

Trump: “I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

در جریان تنظیم متن مکتوب توافق ایران و آمریکا، درخواست های زیاده خواهانه طرف آمریکایی، تاکنون مانع رسیدن به تفاهم بر سر چهارچوب مورد وفاق طرفین شده است. بر اساس اطلاعات دریافتی، ایران می‌خواهد دستاورد‌‌های میدانی در جنگ اخیر را در توافق تثبیت کند، اما طرف امریکایی با مختصات جدید قدرت ایران کنار نیامده است. در عین حال، هنوز بن‌بست در مذاکرات پدید نیامده و احتمالا یک دور مذاکره دیگر برای دستیابی به ساختار کلی توافق انجام شود./ جماران #مذاکرات_پاکستان

Marc Rutte is a smart man. He's not blind to what he's dealing with. He's made a calculated gamble that lavishing praise on Trump, even as Trump trashes & threatens NATO, might just save the alliance. And he can take that risk, which elected leaders in Europe cannot. Noxious, but hopefully effective.

Nobody in Europe cares any longer what he says. It was a big mistake to agree to the ridiculously unfair trade deal that he demanded last year. Since then Europe has learned that the unreasonable demands just keep coming and never stop. So we just ignore it or say no, and he is not going to do anything about it. He is an old man yelling at clouds, and we dont care.

@Pablissssimo @cheremshynaB @OlenaHalushka @kuban_republic It’s easy to attain peace in Ukraine. Russia just needs to get out, back behind its internationally-recognised pre-2014 borders.

HODGES: Little over year ago, Trump and Vance yelled at Zelenskyy in the Oval Office with this ridiculous assertion that Ukraine had “no cards”. Here we are today, where Ukraine is helping Gulf countries defend themselves against Iranian drones. What an amazing turn of events.

For Hungary watchers: Hungarian security experts @peter1buda and András Rácz warn of staged false-flag “Ukrainian” provocations by Russian intelligence before and during Hungary’s April 12 elections, potentially used by Orbán’s government as a pretext for extraordinary measures.
