"German Chancellor Friedrich #Merz has said that #Germany, #France, the #UnitedKingdom and the #UnitedStates have lifted all restrictions on #Ukraine regarding the range of strikes"
That's great
Day 1,188 of the full scale invasion
11 years after the initial invasion
#West (such as it is with the #USA gone to dementia) and #Europe:
You don't win a bar fight with one hand tied behind your back
It's weakness to not understand the full aspect of the malice before you

#Trump’s actions & statements suggest he might be envisioning a world in which each of the 3 so-called great powers—the #UnitedStates, #China & #Russia—dominates its part of the globe, #ForeignPolicy analysts say.
It would be a throwback to a 19th-century style of #imperial rule.
Trump has said he wants to take #Greenland from Denmark, annex #Canada & re-establish American control of the #PanamaCanal.…extend[ing] US dominance in the Western Hemisphere….

This is how Trump responded:
Top Experts’ Backgrounder: #Military Action Against #Iran & US #Domestic #Law
With #Trump reportedly considering bringing the #UnitedStates directly into the armed conflict between #Israel & Iran, & in particular #offensive strikes against Iran’s #nuclear program, it is important to understand the #legal framework that governs whether & when a President can use military force overseas under US domestic law (…the use of force must also comport w/ #InternationalLaw…).

#Trump expressed his disdain for #WindPower during a meeting with his Cabinet recently, calling it an expensive form of #energy that “smart” countries
don’t use.
His comments contained false & misleading information about the use of wind power in the #UnitedStates & around the world, & came on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder he signed Monday that would end subsidies around “#green” energy.

Yet the world has been anything but peaceful lately, whether in the #UnitedStates, #Ukraine or the #PersianGulf. And the #FederalReserve gave the markets another reason for concern on Wednesday when it held #InterestRates steady.

#B2bombers moving to #Guam amid #MiddleEast tensions
The #UnitedStates is moving B-2 bombers to Guam, 2 US ofcls told Reuters Saturday, as #Trump weighs whether the #US should take part in #Israel's strikes against #Iran.
It was unclear whether the bomber deployment is tied to Middle East tensions.
The B-2 can be equipped to carry America's 30k-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator [aka #BunkerBusters], designed to destroy targets deep underground.

Even as #Trump suggested that he was open to negotiations, he had already made up his mind.
Trump had insisted for months that he wanted the ultimate deal with #Iran, one that would put a definitive end to the country’s ability to produce a #nuclear weapon. As late as Thursday, he’d suggested that Iran’s leaders would have up to two more weeks to negotiate. But at that point, he had already made up his mind: The #UnitedStates was going to #bomb Iran.

The Dangerous Consequences of Donald Trump’s Strikes in #Iran
Why even a successful attack might do less to curb the Islamic Republic’s #nuclear ambitions than a diplomatic deal would have.
On Saturday, #Trump brought the #UnitedStates into #Israel’s #war against Iran. American planes & submarines struck 3 sites in Iran, including 2 nuclear enrichment facilities—at #Natanz & #Fordow—& a complex near #Isfahan that was believed to contain stores of uranium.
