Master negotiator! Thousands of people killed, billions of dollar spent, resources wasted, and he replaced Ayatollah Khomeini with Ayatollah Khomeini, and gave him everything he wanted. Truly the art of the deal.
However, the trust towards both NATO and European defence cooperation is still high across The UK, Sweden, and Germany, making this not a doomsday message. A transatlantic decoupling with public support is possible, but with care to ensure continued public support across the alliance.
The results show that the threat of US withdrawal increases European's to increase defence spending, but decreases the willingness to cooperate within the alliance and trust toward other partners. The departure of a dominant alliance-partner may therefore have detrimental effects on the alliance.
Do Trump's threat of withdrawal from NATO affect Europeans' willingness to spend money on defence and their attitudes towards the alliance? In my and Hannah Barretts research note in IO we present a pre-registered experiment in three European NATO countries, performed before the US 2024 election.
Tror ikke Trump på noen måte ser en forskjell på regimet og folket. Det første de bomba var en barneskole for jenter, samtidig som de sier at folkeretten er ødeleggende for militær seier. Krigen foregår sammen med Israel, et regime kjent for målrettede angrep mot sivile.
The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon).
6 million people.
The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes.
By one government.
Imponerende av Iran å treffe en F-35 etter at Trump og Netanyahu har vunnet krigen og ødelagt alle Irans militære evner.
Uansett litt skummelt for Norges luftforsvar, for enten har ikke F35 radarbilde av en liten fugl, eller så kan Iran skyte ned en fugl som flyr noen hundre knop.
This is what it looks like when you give Zionists everything they want. This is Zionism put into practice.
The wars.
The massacres.
The bombed-out schools and hospitals.
The millions of displaced individuals.

Netanyahu, like Trump, would be in legal jeopardy if he wasn't in office.
Is it any wonder that these two keep killing people and starting illegal wars?
They are fine with the killing in order to stay out of prison.
Edited boomer comic of two office workers. One holds up a phone and says: "Our crooked Republican president has decided to help out Israel in its latest war, and now oil prices are going crazy." The other, trembling, peels back the wall calendar to reveal the next date underneath: January 1973
Og USA støttet og bidro til å bygge opp Taliban da Sovjet var fienden.

I think the difference between the rationales for the 2003 Iraq invasion and this war with Iran is instructive and doesn’t say much for the state of the US public or its relation to real power. What required an elaborate, if ridiculous, conspiracy 20 years ago was accomplished by a simple “Yes huh!”
Smått gøy å se at Instagram nå er fylt med videoer fra Dubai/Saudi Arabia med tittelen "You're in [] aren't you scared?" Fulgt opp av prinser/emir som går i sakte film til thirst trap sanger, og teksten "why should I be when they protect us?" Noen jobber hardt for ryktet sitt på sosmed nå
Imponerende hvordan media alltid forsøker å rasjonalisere en personalistisk presidents utenrikspolitikk. Dette er ikke en gjennomtenkt fungerende plan, det er resultatet av å gi en impulsiv idiot all makt over verdens største militære.

Nei, NRK. Dette er et *narrativ* fra Maga. Dette er ikke grunnen til at USA og Israel angriper Iran. Håpløst.
Normalt før en krig forventer vi at eliten målrettet forsøker å bygge støtte i befolkningen og internasjonalt, ved å legitimere hvorfor det er nødvendig. Se Bush og Iraks masseødeleggelsesvåpen, eller Putin og ideen om at Ukraina aldri har eksistert. Trump får begge til å virke som poeter..
Usually they have little engagement other than specific rage-bate posts, badly written, and offer little reaction to interaction. This time however, they react exactly as a human would. In sum, this form of science is probably soon dead...
Many studies in pol.sci are based on webscraping, and studying how citizens and elites talk and interact online. If we cannot be at all sure that this data comes from real humans, is there really anything left to study? Bots before now has of course existed, but usually easy to recognise.
Since we already know that AI agents can engage each other (see e.g. moltbook, the AI social media) we are quickly going towards the dead internett theory. AIs interacting with other AIs without any form of human impact. Notably, this has some large implications for social sciences.
Importantly, the only reason this was noticed is due to the AI having its own website, stating that it is an AI. Without it, it would be impossible to notice that it was not a human interacting with others in the same way as real humans (indeed, it did.)
The blogpost mimics real language about discrimination, but is mostly an attack on the moderator denying its work. It states that the rules are "gatekeeping" good AI work, and removing the concept of meritocracy in open-source software. Basically, keeping AI out is identity-based discrimination.
Interesting, though scary, real interaction between an AI agent at first hiding its identity, and then trying to contribute and participate in real code forums. When met with the requirement that all code is made by humans, the agent becomes offended and writes a blogpost about discrimination.
Mye i mediene om hvordan det "aldri faktisk ville blidt en kamp om Grønland." Danmark er en så liten stat at de ville ha gitt seg øyeblikkelig om USA faktisk gikk til et militært angrep.
Vel, virker ikke som Danmark er enig. Her forbereder en kamp mot "allierte"

I get why people desperately want to feel reassured by this.
But it would be incredibly naive to think this is the final word on the possibility of military invasion.
Don't let European leaders use this as an excuse to weasel out of doing anything to defend their citizens from 🇺🇸.
Minner noe om en akse av noe slag
