A fine place to exist: in a gently swaying rocking chair by the sea, while the sun dissolves into the horizon.

🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:
‘Hamas says the death penalty is immoral, and I tell them: we have taken everything from the terrorists in prison, and now we want to take their lives.
Pure evil

Iran drops a massive ultimatum. The IRGC officially warns that if Trump continues to bomb civilian infrastructure, they will launch devastating retaliatory strikes against all US military bases and assets across the entire region, as well as Israel. Washington is warned.

Mass transit advocates should be the harshest critics of the system that leads to CA's high speed rail project.

An ambitious state-run high-speed rail project linking Los Angeles and San Francisco hasn’t stayed on track. 60 Minutes reports on the costly struggle to bring high-speed rail to the United States, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

All the outrage doesn't matter. The logic of war marches on. Iran if capable to do so, will flatten the petrochemical facilities of the Gulf States. There will be neither oil nor gas from West-Asia.

BREAKING: Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz: "The IDF has now powerfully attacked the largest petrochemical facility in Iran, which is located in Islava. Now the two facilities, which together are responsible for about 85% of Iran's petrochemical exports - have been put out of use and are not functioning."

The president of Lebanon has to ask for permission to repair a pipe for water.
The Cradle@TheCradleMedia
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Sunday afternoon that Lebanon was awaiting "Israeli approval" before fixing a water pipe damaged by Israeli attacks in the south: "There is a broken pipe that supplies water to Marjayoun and Qlayaa. The army chief has been communicating with the Ceasefire Mechanism Committee for the past 4 days, and we communicated with the Lebanese Red Cross and the International Red Cross yesterday, and they are ready to repair the pipe, but unfortunately the approval from Israel has not yet come."

Le ministre extrémiste de la Sécurité nationale israélienne, Ben Gvir, a délivré des ordres de démolition et d'expulsion aux Palestiniens d'une communauté bédouine, leur donnant deux heures pour partir ou faire face à l'arrestation. Lorsqu'un résident a montré des papiers de propriété, il a répondu : « Je m'en fiche, les Juifs sont au-dessus de la loi. »

@HavryshkoMarta Ukraine was always about weakening Russia. It doesn't matter how bad Ukraine is looking or how impoverish the people are. As long as the people don't serve themselves they will die for others.

Publicly, European leaders describe their support for Ukraine in moral and ideological terms, pitting democracy against authoritarianism.
In some of my closed-door conversations with Europeans, a harder logic is increasingly dominant: It’s about buying time for themselves.
It encourages European governments to judge Ukraine by its willingness and ability to keep fighting to the exclusion of any criticism of the quality of the Ukrainian state.
So long as the front holds, almost everything else becomes easier to rationalize: coercive mobilization, executive overreach, suspended accountability, corruption that remains endemic, incompetence and political dysfunction in Kyiv.
A country can survive militarily while decaying politically.
Europe may not end up with the inspiring postwar democracy it imagines. It could instead inherit a heavily armed, deeply traumatized, politically brittle country on its border—one that is anti-Russian, but not liberal, well-governed or easy to integrate.
Ultimately, the risk is that prolonged war and indulgent external backing produce a state whose pathologies are dangerous in and of themselves.

@FurkanGozukara No president would micro manage the troops . This story stinks

Absolute panic at the Pentagon. An expert Al Jazeera correspondent confirms an American rescue mission in Iran turned into a chaotic firefight. Trump deployed hundreds of troops and dozens of aircraft just to extract one airman. Total vulnerability exposed.

@Faktencheck2030 "Uns" greift er sowieso nicht an. *Staaten* führen gegen andere Staaten Kriege, wenn sie ihre "vitalen Interessen" verletzt sehen. Ihre Bürger benützen die dabei als Kanonenfutter. Wer als Normalmensch bei der Schlachterei für oder gegen eine Seite Partei nimmt, der spinnt.

Hallo @OleNymoen und @99zueins Pazifisten-Fans. Wie leicht zu erahnen war, wird es nicht so einfach mit dem sein Leben nicht für die Nation geben. Es wurden Begrifflichkeiten für einen Krieg neu interpretiert. Das ist kein Rant gegen diejenigen, die keinen Krieg wollen, sondern gegen die, die meinen einfach so mal verkünden zu können, das Leben nicht für die Nation opfern zu wollen und Repressionen sind kein Thema. Es werden Schüler mit diesem Unfug belehrt, die sich sich dann schnell wundern, wenn sie eingezogen werden. Das @99zueins dieser bürgerlichen Ideologie noch eine Bühne ohne jede Kritik gab, sagt schon alles über die deutsche Linke aus diesem Milieu aus.

"Conscripts will feel the power of the state and go to the front"
(shivers)
Katarina Merakis@Automation165
You expect any serious resistance, when there is no organization or communication outside the mainstream media? Talk about desertion on Facebook or X in a time of war? Good luck! Conscripts will feel the power of the state and go to the front. It is the reason why OIe Nymoen's book is so naive.

This new laws are preemptive. For the Future. If Russia decides Ukraine war is Not enough and attacks a EU neighbour.
So German sons will be ready and Not in Holiday. They are too often in Holidays.
Germany prepares for war. Legally. Money. Society.

Giulio Mattioli@giulio_mattioli
This raises a lot of questions 1️⃣ Why on earth introduce a permit if it will then always be granted? 2️⃣ What guarantees are there that it will always be granted if that's not in the text of the law? What will a future government e.g. with AfD do with such laws?
