It has taken a special kind of genius for Trump under the guidance of Netanyahu to make the most vile and oppressive regime in Tehran look like the good guys.

Must be a tough time in the White House right now waiting for instructions from Netanyahu as to what the USA Is going to do next.

Also Netanyahu knows what Trump is going to announce before he makes an announcement because Netanyahu is telling Trump what he’s got to say.

You would have thought that witnessing the gratuitous act of self harm that the UK inflicted on itself with Brexit that other countries would use it as a didactic exemplar of what not to do.
However, Populism still exists and the USA under Trump seems to be enabling its own decent into irrelevance

Farage had over 20 years practice in Brussels.
Only ever turned up to embarrass the UK.
Spent more time in Moscow appearing on Russia Today than Parliament in Brussels.
Milked the EU funding a Champagne lifestyle and fined for fiddling his expenses.

Bit like we never saw a funeral after Trump’s assassination attempts.

I’m not religious but I wouldn’t criticise someone who suggested that it might be a good idea for people to stop killing each other.

The Trump coterie hasn’t grasped that they are a toxic brand.

My fear is that Orban will have understood the Stalin dictum.
It doesn’t matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes.

It’s a matter of total incredulity that America has made one of the most repressive, vile and intolerant regimes in the world look like the good guys.
Who would trust a negotiating partner who while negotiating launched a vicious bombing campaign destroying schools and civilian infrastructure.

The name derives from religious association.

• The ten petals and sepals → the ten faithful apostles
• The corona the crown of thorns
• The three stigmas → the three nails used in the crucifixion
• The five stamens → the five wounds of Christ
• The tendrils → the whips used in the scourging

I’m not sure that fear of Trump and fear of the American people are mutually exclusive at the moment.
They’re like rabbits in the headlights and frozen in fear.

And what about the rumours that have been “calculating”

How many lawyers did it take to write the words Melania spoke.

French Enlightenment thinker Denis Diderot.

“Man will never be free until the last Ruler is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

I look at Trump,Vance, Rubio and Hegseth and see the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
War, Conquest, Famine and Death.

Vance completely lacks self awareness.
After the grotesque and oafish behaviour of the White House towards Allies in recent months and their crass cultural ignorance of Iran it would be advisable for America to put a moratorium on anything to do with international relations.

Trump is lacking any moral filters.

French Enlightenment thinker Denis Diderot.

“Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

For King include Presidents

Trump is right, today he destroyed a civilisation.
It wasn’t a 7000 year old civilisation it was a 250 year old civilisation.
No one will consider the USA civil again.

Most likely next pronouncement will be that the Iranian negotiators are saying please sir, please sir give us some more time and Trump’s response will be I’ve given them more time to agree to my demands.
However, if Trump goes ahead with this insanity the Civilisation that will end will be the USA.

Maybe it was ever thus.
Just listening to a podcast about history of the KKK.

If Trump carries out his threat tonight the civilisation that dies will be the United States of America because no one will ever consider America to be civilised again.

Is the Civilisation that Trump says will end at 20:00 tonight the United States of America.
Because if he carries out his threat no one will regard America as a civilised country again.

It’s impossible to fathom the depth of lack of self awareness in the Trump administration.
Vance is openly saying that he has come to Hungary to give Americas support to Orban presumably at the behest of Putin while at the same time condemning Foreign interference in National Elections.

I’m now more convinced than ever that Trump Vance and the rest are completely devoid of any kind of self awareness.
Vance is standing alongside Victor Orban praising him saying he has come to give his and Trump’s support just before the election complaining about foreign interference in elections.

Why is everyone deluding themselves.
What’s happening is the culmination of Netanyahu’s 30 year plan.
He just had to wait for an American President who is stupid enough to be his enabler.

Why is it always about money.
Until we can demonstrate that we are responsible custodians of Planet Earth and end senseless war and suffering and restore the balance of emissions and absorption we should leave space alone.

I don’t suppose Iran cares much about the insanity of Trump.
I’m sure Putin and Netanyahu are enjoying it.
However, America’s former Allies and the rest of the world are terrified.
