Im Nahen Osten wird laut Merz gerade die „Drecksarbeit“ für uns erledigt? WTF! Gerade mit Blick auf die Opfer von Krieg und Gewalt sollte jeder Konflikt eine diplomatische Lösung finden. Merz muss Druck auf alle Seiten machen, denn es braucht mehr Verhandlungen statt Eskalation! #Frieden #Israel #USA #Iran #Merz #EU #peace #nowar #diplomatie

I really hope we don't have any marginalized leaders in perpetual adoration of their reflection with power and missiles. She may say something like, "Oh, I wish we could..." No, you can. You really can. You don't have to send people to murder and be murdered at all. Just use your brain better.
Sahra Wagenknecht warnt eindringlich vor einem möglichen Dritten Weltkrieg durch einen Kriegseintritt der USA im Konflikt Israel-Iran. Sie kritisiert Kanzler Merz scharf und fordert mehr Diplomatie von Deutschland und Europa, um eine Eskalation zu verhindern und Verhandlungen zu ermöglichen. 🌍🕊️ #Frieden #Diplomatie #NoWar #Weltfrieden https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Wagenknecht-warnt-vor-drittem-Weltkrieg-article25849153.html

"Pro-Palestinian activists have broken into a Royal Air Force base in central England and claimed to have damaged two military aircraft to protest against the UK government’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
The campaign group Palestine Action said two members entered the RAF Brize Norton military base in Oxfordshire, spraying paint into the engines of the Voyager aircraft and attacking them with crowbars."
Activists destroying material destined for the empire/zionist war machine are the best of us. Of course the UK government is already working on branding them as terrorists.

I spoke about this a little bit on my personal account, so I'll try to this quick. If you're trying to figure out why Trump hasn't *already* declared the attack on Iran he so clearly desires to order, recent news that taking out Iran's nuclear facilities won't be a simple as a short B2 bombing run with bunker buster bombs, may provide a clue.
Trump caution on Iran strike linked to doubts over ‘bunker buster’ bomb, officials say
"But the defense officials who received the briefing were told that using conventional bombs, even as part of a wider strike package of several GBU-57s, would not penetrate deep enough underground and that it would only do enough damage to collapse tunnels and bury it under rubble.
Those in the briefing heard that completely destroying Fordow, which Israeli intelligence estimates to go down as far as 300ft (90 metres), would require the US to soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear bomb from a B2 bomber to wipe out the entire facility, a scenario Trump is not considering.
The assessments were made by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the defense department that tested the GBU-57, as it reviewed the limitations of US military ordinance against a number of underground facilities."
In some respects, this Guardian piece is exactly the type of war porn imperialist marketing garbage I don't believe should be printed in public newspapers, but I'm sharing it here because it tells us a lot about the nature of the war Trump is considering launching, and the conduct of our "ally" Israel, who just started a war with Iran they can't "win" without us. The background you need to understand here is that the Israeli PM wants Trump to use "bunker busting" bombs only the United States has, to destroy an underground Iranian nuclear facility built into the side of a mountain, called Fordow. Launching such a strike would of course immediately result in the US being *officially* at war with Iran, but it likely appeals to the Swine Emperor because it does not involve the deployment of ground troops or tactical nuclear weapons we shouldn't ever use under any circumstances.
Netanyahu has assured Trump that American B2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs will destroy Iran's nuclear program entirely, and so have all the anti-Iran warpigs in Trump's government or personal orbit. There's just one problem: it's almost certainly not true. The US military says the GBU-57 bomb (the bunker buster) can penetrate depths up to 60 meters; Israeli intelligence openly says the Iranian facility at Fordow goes as deep as 90 meters (a meter is kinda like a yard, in American.) It also sounds like we have no idea how dropping it on the side of the mountain will affect the results of a bombing run on Fordow, but it doesn't sound like it'll be good. Furthermore, according to at least one military expert, it's not even clean dropping bunker busters would actually set the (nonexistent if our intelligence agencies are to be believed) Iranian nuclear weapons program back all that much.
"It would not be a one and done,” a former Dtra deputy director, retired Maj Gen Randy Manner, said of the GBU-57’s limitations, adding that Fordow could be quickly rebuilt. “It might set the program back six months to a year. It sounds good for TV but it’s not real.”
I don't know about you, but literally nothing about "dropping a tactical nuke" sounds like a good idea to me, and this whole thing sure seems like a well-crafted scheme to use American troops on the ground in Iran to topple a regime Christian nationalists in the Trump administration, a bipartisan swathe of US warhawks, and the Israeli government have wanted to take out for decades. Given the access to intelligence that everyone involved here has, from Netanyahu to guys like Tom Cotton, I'm pretty sure the shitty math behind a bombing run on Fordow is not news to them, but they're encouraging Trump to give it a try anyway. I'm not a mind reader, but it sure does seem like the anti-Iran wing of the Trump regime, and the government of Israel are trying to walk Trump into a forever war against Iran on purpose, by promising our absolutely moronic fascist president a quick and easy victory that casts him as *the* hero for the Pig Empire.
Folks, I can't stress this enough: Iran is not building nuclear weapons. The Kelpto Kaiser's own DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently reported as much and that Iran is at least three years away from being able to do so if the government decides to give it a try. There is absolutely no valid reason for Trump to bomb Fordow, but the fact that doing so is on paper a fool's errand speaks strongly to what these bloodthirsty warpigs are trying to walk you and your kids into as we speak. After all, it won't be Barron Trump getting drafted.

Starmer government doubles down on austerity to fund war spending - World Socialist Web Site
There are of course, no circumstances "where you have to hand it to the Nazis" but I must confess that if Trump's stated goal is keeping everyone confused about what god awful shit he's trying to pull off in the war touched off by Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran, consider me successfully baffled. For example, the White House announced today that we can expect Trump to decide whether or not to attack Iran in the next two weeks. What does that mean? I have absolutely no idea; the White House is not a reliable narrator and even in this statement they're implicitly arguing the President has the power to drag us into a war with Iran without consulting Congress. Would that even matter? Somehow I doubt it, between the GOP majority and a whole lot of pro-genocide AIPAC-funded Blue Dog Democrats, I suspect the Swine Emperor would get his permission slip regardless, even after the fact.
So what's more reliable than the intentionally deceptive ravings of a septuagenarian nazi, or his latest Mouth of Sauron, Karoline Leavitt? How about leaks from inside the government that the US military has already drawn up a plan of attack for an assault on Iran, the Klepto Kaiser has already approved it, and the only thing the American war machine is waiting on is the order to launch from Trump himself. An order which Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already stated the Pentagon would obey regardless of any actions taking by Congress.

Trump Reportedly Greenlights Plan for US Attack on Iran Without Congressional Approval
"President Donald Trump is set to meet with top advisers in the White House Situation Room Thursday morning in the wake of reports that he has privately approved plans for a U.S. attack on Iran, a development that comes after days of pressure from Israeli officials and Republican war hawks in Congress to intervene in the war that Israel launched last week.
The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that Trump told senior aides that he "approved of attack plans for Iran, but was holding off on giving the final order to see if Tehran will abandon its nuclear program."
"While Trump weighed his decision, the U.S. military continued to move forces to Europe and toward the Middle East, including tanker planes to refuel aircraft in flight, warships capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, an aircraft carrier battle group, and advanced F-22 air-to-air fighters, which flew Wednesday to a base in Britain," the Journal observed.
CBS News also reported that Trump "approved attack plans on Iran Tuesday night."
In the interests of absolute transparency, I should note that Trump has directly denied the Wall Street Journal report this story is about in his typically charming way, but I see no particular reason to believe him at any time, let alone when he's openly admitting he's being cagey about a war with Iran to confuse his "enemies." The Journal's reporting seems far more consistent with the open movement of ships and materiel the American military is conducting, and it's very clear the information was coming from inside Trump's inner circle, or the Pentagon itself. This is almost certainly real, which regardless of what you or I may think Trump's ultimate intentions are, means we're a brainwormed sociopathic fascist's snap phone call away from dragging *ourselves* into another MENA forever war, this time in Iran.
Finally, in terms of trying to read the tea leaves coming out of the White House because that's literally all we can really do while Trump dangles the most powerful military apparatus on the planet on a string over our collective heads, don't sleep on the company Trump is reportedly keeping these days.
"Politico reported Wednesday that "Trump, who criticized his predecessor for allowing new wars to break out on his watch, is increasingly listening to a small group of Iran hawks who have been pushing to go tougher on Tehran."
"Trump has become more receptive to arguments by those advocating more military engagement, including Gen. Michael 'Erik' Kurilla, who leads Central Command, as well as Republican senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Tom Cotton of Arkansas," the outlet noted."
Please do keep in mind that while I detest the common style of "Trump-whispering" articles in the mainstream media about the Swine Emperor's thoughts and motivations, they have produced a lot of evidence that Der Leader is not exactly a bold independent thinker and thus watching which minions are in close proximity to him at a given moment, can often help you predict some of Trump's actions. I probably *could* think of a worse three people for Trump to be hanging around with right now for those of us who don't want more US imperial violence and endless war, but it would be difficult.
Analysis isn't prophecy, but a betting women would put her chips on war, given the available evidence.
