Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.

Whew.

All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

If this isn’t one of the biggest stories of the day, then it should be.

Americans are stranded in the Middle East because of Donald Trump’s war in Iran, but they’re flying out MAGA “influencers” on private jets?

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield — Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

Rubio says we have to go to war with Iran because it's run by religious fanatics... and that's why Hegseth is busy telling the troops that we're going to war because Jesus says we need to in order to bring about the End Times and Armageddon. It all makes perfect sense now.

MADRID, March 2 (Reuters) - Fifteen U.S. aircraft have left the Rota and Moron military
bases in southern Spain since the U.S. and Israel launched weekend attacks on Iran, maps
by flight tracking website FlightRadar24
showed on Monday.
Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said
Spain would not allow its military bases, which are jointly operated by the U.S. and Spain but under Spanish sovereignty, to be used for attacks on Iran, which Spain has condemned.

Spain is not playing this game.

Meanwhile, Trump called NBC and said he thinks Iranian leadership has been eliminated. Yet the only source behind this information is Israel. Confirmations needed.
