Auch ein schönes Wort bzw. Delikt - der Bahnfrevel!

Donald Trump – der unpopuläre Populist Donald Trump wird gerne als „Populist“ bezeichnet. Also einer, der sehr genau verfolgt, wohin der Wind bläst, und seine Positionen dann am „Beliebtheitsbarometer“ der eigenen Bevölkerung ausrichtet.

Ein paar Gedanken dazu, was Donald Trump antreibt. Und was nicht.

They have a Secretary of War but, of course, they don't go to war...

So the United States conducts massive bombing raids against Iran daily, sinks its Navy, eliminates its Supreme Leader but is not at war with Iran?
Yeah, sure, that's so going to fly....

Ein paar Gedanken zum Krieg im Nahen Osten. Ja, Krieg. Denn herumzudrucksen und zu sagen, das ist kein Krieg, sondern nur eine 'military operation' - so wie zuletzt House Speaker Johnson - ist einfach nur lächerlich.

Nope, don't think so. That ship has sailed.

I know that's a bold prediction. But something tells me that this is an award that Donald J. Trump will never receive.
Ever.

“There’s a real nuclear terrorism risk to Trump’s regime change objective that I have not heard the administration acknowledging.”
Now that's reassuring.....

Interesting. So the USA has "pushed Vladimir Putin towards peace in Ukraine"?
Somehow that development has escaped my attention....

Laut Haaretz:
Khamenei und Pazeshkian waren u.a. Ziel der Angriffe. Ob einer von beiden oder beide verletzt/getötet wurden ist derzeit unklar.
Der Verteidigungsminister und der Chef der Revolutionsgarden sollen getötet worden sein.
Derzeit aber alles aber noch unbestätigt.

As always, we'll worth reading:

I'm not a betting man.
But if I were, I'd say there is a solid chance that the stand-off between the United States and Iran moves to a kinetic phase shortly....

Der russischen Aggression seit über vier Jahren standzuhalten ist schon beachtlich. In Moskau hat man sich das etwas anders vorgestellt. Wäre das nicht gelungen, dann würde heute ein aggressives und imperiales Russland an den Grenzen Polens, Ungarns, der Slowakei und Rumäniens stehen....

Today's the perfect day to recognize the unbelievable bravery the Ukrainian people & leaders have displayed during the past four years. Would we be even half as brave in the same situation? I hope we never have to find out. And due to the Ukrainians and their sacrifice, we probably never will!

Wenn es überhaupt so etwas gibt wie historische Momente, war das hier ⬇️ einer. Diese kurze Rede, diese fast tollkühne Entscheidung zum Widerstand - ohne sie sähe Europa heute anders aus.

France moves to bar US Ambassador Charles Kushner from direct government access France’s top diplomat has requested that U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government.

Einbestellungen durch das Außenministerium des Gastlandes einfach zu ignorieren - und nicht zum ersten Mal - ist schon auch ein ziemlich starkes Stück. Wenn da jemand nicht den Nachnamen Kushner trüge.....

Wenn schon nicht der Nobelpreis, dann vielleicht wenigstens der Karlspreis für Donald J. Trump 🙂?

Müssen die USA bald Zölle in Milliardenhöhe zurückzahlen? Der Supreme Court entscheidet über die Rechtmäßigkeit der Zölle gegen so ziemlich die ganze Welt. Trump sagt, es gehe um „Leben und Tod der USA“.

Erscheint mir ein guter Moment, um meinen Kommentar vom November 2025 zu reposten 🙂.

So sorry to hear this, @ishaantharoor.bsky.social. You were essential reading for me. I think it's time to cancel my subscription of the WP. Breaks my heart.

Of course Rutte is wrong. But he isn't because he doesn't know better. No use to think of Rutte as a former European Primeminister. He's a NATO-lobbyist and acts accordingly. A he obviously believes that a Europe standing on its own feet wouldn't be good for NATO. Dependency is so much better....
