Why is Trump all Stick and no Carrot?

Trump must offer Iran more than bombs, rage and humiliation

carrots are vegetables! He's much happier using bronzer than eating foods that might do that.


One of the most difficult and confusing things to try to understand about anti-fascism is its history.

"NATO countries agreed a statement on Sunday for their upcoming summit that sets a goal of 5% of GDP for"... wars, militarization and conflict escalation, in more than a doubling of the previous squandering goal, in a capitulation to Trump and allies' demands. This is a threat to everyone in the world, but especially those people living in NATO-countries, not only losing more of the resources from actually good things like healthcare, education, civilian infrastructure, etc, but also helping Putin and similar legitimize their past and as a result of this soon future farther squandering of the people's resources on death and aggression.

Fortunately, it's still not binding, but only a goal that the war hawks keep trying to present as if mandatory.

"Europe’s pledge to spend more on military will hurt climate and social programmes"

Yes, obviously, but have you considered the personal profits benefit for the socioeconomic elite by fucking the poor and escalating to global hot war?

Amnesty International:
"New NATO defence commitments must not come at cost of human rights"

Absolutely! However, with the current over a decade long authoritarian (=elitist) right-wing (=elitist) wave focusing on quick personal profits including political profits over even one step past immediately apparent bare minimum analyses, it seems we're gonna have to wait a while until people go back to reasonable reasoning again... hopefully before we're extinct through lack thereof.

This video makes me feel less alone in some of these things. I never noticed about my desire to work alone. I'm actually very social but I struggle to get any meaningful work done with other people.

Die Klimakatastrophe, zu der die rücksichtslose Ausbeutung und akkumulative Anhäufung der Ressourcen des Planeten durch den entfesselten Kapitalismus geführt hat, gefährdet nun den bürgerlichen Wohlstand und den Kapitalismus als solchen. Doch bevor der Konservative DAS zulässt, lässt er lieber wieder seinen degenerierten Zwilling von der Kette: den Faschismus.

Das Bild zeigt einen Himmel mit einer Mischung aus weißen und grauen Wolken, die sich über eine Wohngegend erstrecken. Im Vordergrund sind mehrere Strommasten mit verlaufenden Leitungen zu sehen, die sich durch den Himmel ziehen. Die Wolken sind dicht und variieren in Größe und Form, was auf unterschiedliche Wetterbedingungen hinweist. Im unteren Bereich des Bildes sind einige Häuser und Bäume sichtbar, die die Wohngegend umrahmen. Die Häuser haben unterschiedliche Dachformen und Farben, und die Bäume sind grün und üppig. Die gesamte Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einem Hauch von Nostalgie, der durch die traditionelle Architektur und die natürliche Umgebung vermittelt wird.

Glasgow Mela 2025
After a wet and windy start in Kelvingrove Park the sky cleared, the sun came out and so did the crowds, with food stalls, a bazaar and live music.
A wonderful, colourful family event. More photographs to follow tomorrow.

World reacts to US attacks on Iran | Israel-Iran conflict News byteseu.com/1128888/ #Iran #Israel #IsraelIranConflict #MiddleEast #News #UnitedStates #US&Canada


I wrote about the second strangulation of the Voice of America hours before the US attack on Iran. The piece was quoted by AP and BBC. It's even more relevant now considering that VOA Farsi has been reduced to a skeleton. newsguy.substack.com/p/zombie-…

in reply to Steve Herman

Thank you. Great article, I hope the courts rule in VOA's favor. If not, maybe some private patriot funding will step in and help?
in reply to Steve Herman

I'm sorry this has happened.

"For decades, my colleagues and I regularly sought out Heritage Foundation experts for comment on important issues, in order to ensure balance and scope in our news reports. It was Heritage’s Project 2025 that included the blueprint for VOA’s dismantling and criticism of the broadcaster’s charter and firewall meant to ensure fairness and autonomy for our journalism."

Maybe that's a lesson about the consequences of false balance and bothsidesism in journalism.

in reply to FourOh-LLC

Nah. They are going to pretend to target something and not actually hit it, and then nothing else will happen.

We did this once during Trump's first term. Literally same deal.
