Americans: we hold all of you responsible. Get out in the streets and protest.

[Responsible Statecraft @RStatecraft]

Up until last week, it would have been unthinkable to hear an American president threaten to "blow up" a close partner and a mediating stalwart like Oman. Yet, here we are.

Because if the US were to acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons, it would be subject to US sanctions for violating the nonproliferation treaty

11 days before Iran’s World Cup opener:

• No visas yet approved for players or staff
• Forced to move their camp from USA to Mexico
• A friendly cancelled due to the relocation

This is how the world’s 21st-ranked team is being treated before football’s biggest tournament.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says The US is in the middle of final negotiations to end the Iran war

The Onion's staff writers will soon be out of a job with Trumpisms like this

Sir, we have Trump disappointment syndrome. When you said no new wars, we took it to heart, and a few of us meant it.

LARSON: Are we at war currently?

BESSENT: The conflict has been halted

LARSON: The conflict has been halted. So we're not at war?

BESSENT: If you'd like me to call the Secretary of War, I can ask

Pacifist grannies hold placards supporting Palestine Action while fascist thugs openly give Hitler salutes on the streets of Southampton. Guess which of them gets arrested on terrorism charges.

Bessent: ‘There’s NOTHING corrupt!’

LOL

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

SANCHEZ: I think it's safe to say this is probably the most corrupt Treasury Department in our nation's history

BESSENT: I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE EXCEPTION WITH THAT! THAT IS SLANDEROUS

[Paolo Mossetti @paolomossetti]

La Germania ha perso per la prima volta un seggio nel Consiglio di sicurezza Onu. Ha pesato, nel voto dei Paesi extraeuropei, l'appoggio incondizionato a Netanyahu e al suo "lavoro sporco" in Iran. Berlino è sempre più nano diplomatico: è il prezzo del vassallaggio europeo.

Første instinktive reaksjon fra tyskerne: skylde på andre.

Da blir det ikke noe oppgjør med egen politikk, eller et fnugg av selvransakelse. Og irrelevans-spiralen fortsetter nedover.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz suffered a humiliating defeat today after the United Nations General Assembly snubbed Germany and instead awarded Portugal and Austria two non-permanent seats on the Security Council.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Donald Trump says limiting his power to wage war on Iran is unpatriotic.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.

North Korea and Israel.

One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.

It isn't North Korea.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

As Trump's reckless decision to join Netanyahu in a pointless war of choice against Iran proves to have been an unmitigated disaster, Trump suddenly pretends the war is “not a big thing." https://t.co/zBXLWdYMJh

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.

Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.

Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Headlines are where the mendacity of Western mainstream media really comes through. It suggests that the legal status of Israeli settlements is an open question, open to debate.

In reality, the ICJ 19 July 2024 Advisory Opinion concluded that Israel's occupation of Palestine is unlawful and that the settlements violate international law.

It ruled that Israel must cease settlement activity and evacuate settlers.

The UNGA then endorsed the ICJ ruling on 19 September 2024 (A/RES/ES-10/24).

There is no debate. No open question. The settlements and the occupation are illegal.

For Reuters to pretend otherwise is to directly undermine international law.

"US government data published on Wednesday showed total stocks of crude and petroleum products such as petrol fell by 10.6m barrels last week to 1.57bn barrels—the lowest level since 2004.

The sharp fall triggered new warnings from industry analysts that oil prices are poised to move sharply higher again within weeks." https://t.co/xT8hX99zbt

An ENTIRE FAMILY was BURNED TO DEATH after an IDF air strikes hit a residential apartment west of Gaza City.

The names of the 5 family members:
Manar Ibrahim Labed
Hassan Rabah Labed
Mohammed Hassan Labed
Rafah Hassan Labed
Tamim Hassan Labed

Im at a loss for words at how many times we have seen this happen and the world allows it to happen again and again

[Philippe Lemoine @phl43]

Not that I want to deny Europe needs to get its shit together, we definitely do, but this is a silly comparison.

The reason why China declined in the 19th century is that European countries became industrial economies and were the first of any countries to move into a sustained growth regime.

The reason why Europe is now declining in relative terms is that China and other non-Western countries have become industrial economies and started to catch up with the West.

In other words, Europe's decline today, measured by how fast its share of world GDP is falling, is just a consequence of the fact that the Industrial Revolution happened in Europe first.

This left most of the world behind and now it's finally catching up, which mechanically results in a fall of Europe's share of world GDP, because the rest of the world contains a very large share of the population.

This isn't a particularly interesting or deep observation and doesn't mean that we are going to be dominated in the way China was during the "century of humiliation".

It matters a lot whether one's share of world GDP declines because you're leaving others behind or because others are finally catching up.

I know it's a bit more complicated because the US's share of world GDP hasn't declined in the same way, let's not revisit the recent debate about US vs. Europe here, but this catching up is still what's behind this statistic for the most part.

Too little, too late.

A non-functional democracy playing out.
