Why Trump Is Getting More Dangerous Every Day: Psychiatrist — The Daily Beast President Donald Trump’s “insecurity” could make him more dangerous, a psychiatrist warned.

A psychiatrist who spent her career treating violent offenders in max-security prisons says Trump’s paranoia and “limitless insecurity” match the most dangerous patient profile she’s seen.

And he’s sitting in the Oval Office.

Let that sink in. 🚨

Is Russia Preparing New Military Operations Abroad? Kremlin Bill Raises Concerns Russia reviews draft law expanding power to deploy troops abroad, citing protection of citizens and possible future military justifications.

🚨 NEW: A proposed Russian law could grant Putin expanded authority to launch military operations abroad under the guise of "protecting Russians."

The ISW warns the bill creates a legal framework for future interventions, specifically targeting the Baltics and Europe.

“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

Isn’t it tragic when history reminds the world, that being called a President seems to be an automatic entry to the annual Darwin Awards.

This war is just getting started, Iran is now selling more oil than they did before, and Russia is helping it fight back.

Pandora’s box is opened.

How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power Outside Abu Dhabi, a vast area of desert is being carpeted with solar panels.

Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.

Covering sessions daily at the Commission on the Status of Women this week, one question keeps coming up for me:
How can responsible media better amplify the institutions trying to address global crises?
Too often we are not meeting the moment — we are being entertained by it.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & @DrTed...• 6h
Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.
According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.
That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Keine Stützung der Öl-/Benzinpreise dafür Subventionen für den Kauf von BEV insbesondere Lieferwagen sowie PV und Speicher, temporäre Fahrverbote außer BEV, Steuervergünstigungen für Home Office, Ausbau ÖPNV, Bahnticket statt Pendlerpauschale. Es wäre so einfach...

U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."

When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

Europe’s top priority must be to end this war with a decisive Russian defeat.

To achieve this, we need to urgently fund Ukrainian cruise missiles like the Flamingo and mass-produce them ourselves to ensure Ukraine can strike deep into Russian territory

Russia preparing the legal framework for global military action.

A new bill would allow Putin to deploy Russian forces outside Russia’s borders to “protect Russian citizens
abroad.”

Same pretext used in Crimea.

Same language used before Georgia.
