@ElBaradei The picture was NOT manipulated.
In fact , it was posted personally by the President. Reactions from the Christian Right led to a deletion.
Draw your own conclusions about the state of mind at the White House-
now preoccupied with a personal
controversy with HE the Pope.
Vansinnet i Vita huset håller på att bli en allt större fara för världen och leda till oändliga tragedier som bara gynnar de sämsta krafterna, tanken på att befria Iran har nu bytts till att bomba iranier, https://t.co/uthscuPTdW
"It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s “huge humanitarian caseload.”
I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.
All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”
I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.
I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.
I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.
@fouadyoucefi Ett nystartat krig leds från ett provisoriskt krisrum i Florida-residenset
Mar-a-Lago av presidenten personligen

I Washington DC finns ett välutrustat kriscenter i Vita Huset och
alla centrala säkerhetspolitiska organ med professionell personal på plats.
During my visit to Kyiv today I saw a civilian heating plant targeted by Russian missiles.
No military value whatsoever - attacks meant only to make people suffer.
But Ukraine stands strong. And NATO stands with you.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
I spoke to @SecGenNATO, @EmmanuelMacron, @Keir_Starmer, @bundeskanzler and @GiorgiaMeloni.
Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.
We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests.
We will face these challenges to our European solidarity with steadiness and resolve.
Vansinnet har inga gränser, en person med så omfattande storhetsvansinne och förvirrad verklighetsbild, som hotar med krig mot sina egna och andra länder, förnedrar sig själv och sitt land genom att tro han kan få ett pris i andra hand, https://t.co/hUO4F6kpXS
It gets increasingly bizarre. Is he implying that 🇷🇺 or 🇨🇳 is about to invade ����🇦? And if anyone against all expectations is threatening to invade either 🇨🇦 or 🇬🇱 there is something called NATO where we all will defend it.
Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
6:55pm local time:
“🇬🇱 We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.
Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.
When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.
Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.
We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.
But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.
Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.
Enough is enough.
No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.
We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.
Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so. 🇬🇱”
