WATCH: “She better be careful - she could get a personalized bunker buster from Daddy Trump.” Fox contributor Ray Arroyo suggests Trump might bomb Netherlands Queen Maxima for making fun of his mouth

Love @sbg1.bsky.social's depiction of Mark Rutte's overweening 'Daddy' flattery. Key point that people keep forgetting: with Trump flattery only works for a v brief spell; humiliation lasts forever. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Jaw-dropping reporting by Haaretz www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"Deutsche Bahn will im Fernverkehr 21.000 Sitzplätze streichen" www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/u...

Preliminary assessments suggest Tehran was able to move much of its stockpile, two officials have said https://on.ft.com/4ekW0oJ

Es ist absurd und gefährlich: Die USA sollen zukünftig mitreden dürfen, wie wir in der EU den Digital Markets Act gegen marktdominante Big Tech-Konzerne durchsetzen wollen. Man gründet erstmal einen Arbeitskreis. Die Durchsetzung wird auf ewig verschoben. www.handelsblatt.com/politik/inte...

The many positive responses to Rutte’s embarrassing suck-up to Trump are a good insight into why the far right has been mainstreamed and normalized in the past decades.

Rutte noemt Trump net "daddy".

#TACO Trump

Total surprise.

Man kann natürlich den Standpunkt vertreten, den Iran zu bombardieren, sei so ein richtiger Zweck, dass sich Mittelfragen nicht stellen. Man muss nur wissen, dass der Rest der Welt sowieso schon geneigt ist, zu glauben, dass der Westen so tickt, von wegen rules based.

CNN, citing a DIA assessment: "The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months" www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Das heißt: Die Gasheizungsbesitzer bekommen künftig mehr heraus, Wärmepumpenbesitzer nicht. Wer CO2-sparend heizt, wird bestraft (und zahlt für die Gaskunden mit). Die Regierung belohnt erstmal alle, die die Propaganda von Union, FDP, KKR-Newslettern und AfD geglaubt haben.

Tja, die Deutschen transatlantiker folgen weiter blind.

Every single time there are geopolitical tensions we are reminded of Europe's dependency on imported fossil fuels: In 2023, the European Union imported 58% of its energy, mostly as fossil fuels. There are three key levers to change that: 💡 energy efficiency ☀️ renewables ⚡ electrification

BMF Plan für das Anwachsen der Verteidigungsausgaben. That’s a lot of money

i think these professional antivaxxers are literally demonic www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: Iran says it launched an attack on U.S. forces at Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base.

Ja, kaum stenographiert ein Interviewer nicht nur vorbereitete Sätze ist es auch nicht Recht. Deswegen gut von Miosga und auch souverän gekontert von Pistorus. www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Bund muss #Sondervermögen auch für den Bau neuer #Schienenstrecken verwenden. Die Zahl chronisch überlasteter Strecken hat sich innerhalb weniger Jahre fast verdoppelt. Nur mit der Sanierung ist es nicht getan, wir brauchen auch zusätzliche Gleise! ➡️ www.allianz-pro-schiene.de/presse/press...

Rubio confirms the suspicion that Iran was not constructing a nuclear weapon, the US did not attack based on new intel, and Israel's claim that an Iranian bomb was imminent is BS (though if you parse non-Bibi statements, they say high enrichment, not bomb construction). So I guess there's that.

Noch eine parallele zum Irakkrieg. Jeder der beim Trump appeasment nicht teilnimmt wird angegriffen.

Hilft natürlich auch Russland. Spielt aber plötzlich keine Rolle mehr.

Wie naiv kann man sein?

Whatever legitimacy was left in the European rhetoric of the "rules based order" (not to mention the law based order) has now probably gone down the drain. And that will come back to bite.🔽

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

Next week at The Hague will be interesting… www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int/27...

We are all neocons now, once again.

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

This from Keir Starmer is a de facto endorsement of Trump's illegal aggression against Iran. Talk of Starmer's deep commitment to international law belongs in the same garbage can as talk of Trump's deep aversion to foreign military entanglements www.bbc.com/news/article...

What a time to be alive. The president of the United States doing battle damage assessment via sketchy OSINT accounts. I had blocked this particular account some time ago.

Scoop: President Trump & Turkish President Erdoğan quietly sought to arrange a meeting between the U.S. and Iran in Istanbul last Monday. But the effort collapsed when Iran's supreme leader Khamenei couldn't be reached to approve it. My story on @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/06/21/t...

B-2 stealth bombers have taken off from Whiteman Air Force Base, along with eight refuelling tankers.

As usual, Mr. Fallows is correct.

Is Trump sharing real intelligence about Israel, or just recapping what he's read in the papers? On whether Israel can take out Fordow: "But they really have a very limited capacity. They can break through a little section, but they can’t go down very deep. They don’t have that capacity.”

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

The BBC has confirmed it won’t air its documentary on Gaza’s medics. I know some of the journalists involved and they’re absolutely excellent. This statement is mealy-mouthed; you can’t “both sides” the facts on the ground of a genocide, and there’s a clear public interest in documenting those facts

This is the classic tech bro accusation, that if only the liberals had been nicer, they would not have gone fascist. About Zuckerberg, from this great FT piece. www.ft.com/content/a86f...

If some civilians can pull this off, then how vulnerable are RAF bases to Russian sabotage?

This article details how Trump has sidelined two of his worst cabinet choices—Hegseth and Gabbard—during deliberations over Iran. Everyone knew they should never have been appointed. But Trump did it anyway and now it would be embarrassing to fire them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
