Europe Isolated: Qatar Threatens Natural Gas Embargo Against The EU Qatar has warned that it may stop exporting liquefied natural gas to the European Union in response to the Brussels corporate sustainability due diligence directive.

One could argue that this is end state WTO, not as imagined, but I'm the reality of the nation state as a negotiator.

This is stunning.
You have to wonder f Trump realizes how vile it is as he uses this song, and wallows in that vileness like a pig in slop.

Very very few have so far.
What it sounds like is mossad but markers on political figures and military figures and then they came in with f-35s and very surgically targeted them. Everyone I know in Iran says that there are... nobody knows any any civilian casualties.

Complex.
Netanyahu uses this to remain in power.
But the people he killed are actually worse war criminals than him. We live in such dark times. It hurts.
But I am glad those men in Iran are gone. Bagheri and Salami were the worst of the monsters in this world.

I do believe in young people. I've sent a couple of young people from Iraq to the United Nations. At my cost.

And they studied for years to get there and they have become very incredible cultural resources for the world.

Greta is not an expert on this. And it is very nuanced.

Nah.
environment is clear cut.
Science is science.
Ethnic wars require an emic perspective that people who have lived with the cultures for decades have a hard time dissecting. Dont need input from anyone who has less than 40 years experience on the topic.
Been a resident in the region since 1991.

I find that it dilutes her message.
I appreciate how you feel but we disagree on this. And I feel she has diluted her power and she is walked away from the environmental movement. That's my perception of it. And when I look at our adversaries I see them capitulate on it. How I feel. 🤷

I find it very discouraging that the environmental movement became boring to Greta.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

I mean... Yeah .. by doing things that are extreme then moderate extreme than moderate and extreme than moderate, extreme less moderate, extreme less moderate extreme kind of extreme....
