EU scrambles to defend Spain from Trumpโ€™s embargo menace President Donald Trumpโ€™s threat to cut all ties with Spain after it opposed his war on Iran again puts the blocโ€™s unity to the test.

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸšจSymbolically important that EU countries and EU institutions shore up support for #spain in the context of fear of trade retaliation from the #Trump regime. This should be self-evident but unity of EU here is under pressure. ๐Ÿงต

In non absurdly-pointless war news, saw the Tracey Emin exhibition @ Tate Modern today. It was GLORIOUS. Meaningful, deeply feminist, interwoven strands of the effects of racism, classism and sexism, life and death and meaning. Stunning.

No time for breakfast in the mornings? No problem - you can catch up and eat your cereal from a bowl with a spoon while overtaking cyclists in traffic.

Spanish PM Sรกnchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

Israel struck a hotel in Hazmieh, where most of my family lives (everyoneโ€™s okay)

No idea about casualties yet.

They also killed at least 6 ppl in Aramoun and Saadiyat.

None of these 3 are โ€˜Hezbollah strongholdsโ€™ as media outlets like to call them

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.
