Trump: “When somebody is nice to me, I love that person. Even if they are bad people, I couldn't care less, I’ll fight until the end for them.”

Every single dictator and warmonger around the world knows this is absolutely true.

That is our current foreign policy in a nutshell.

Good article.

“Governments have a responsibility to do what markets and short-term politics will not: to keep us safe, to plan, regulate and co-ordinate a fast, fair and orderly phase out of fossil fuels.”

We are just going to go with “the USA obliterated the Iranian nuclear program in a way that will take a decade to rebuild twice within a year,” aren’t we?

And we wonder why people are cynical.

Amazing to forget Nixon actually did blow up a lot of people in Vietnam and the whole Cold War was run on mutually assured destruction which was a constant threat of blowing everyone up.

You can give a precise objection to Trump’s threats against Iran with making up history to do so.

Following Trump’s example of how to return traffic to the Strait of Hormuz, I’m going to unclog my kitchen drain by stuffing it with chewing gum and anything I find in my hairbrushes.

When I worked to keep science denial out of schools, I worked with leaders at NAS to create resources so the public could understand why not everyone
claiming there’s a debate deserves equal scientific credence. We don’t “teach the controversy.” I’m happy to connect you with NAS staff who get this.

Also weird that Mr Art of the Deal cannot figure out that the deep unpopularity of the war and of his unhinged ravings about it are among the cards Iran in fact holds

An armistice can take weeks to negotiate. A comprehensive peace treaty can take months. No one on Earth who knows a thing about history or diplomacy thought anything could be resolved in six hours. This will confirm for everyone the extreme incompetence and bad faith of the American regime.

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours.

While reading the news from Budapest, take a moment to look at this photo of Hungarian-American Bela Lugosi at an antifascist rally in Los Angeles during the war.
