Spain pushes to end EU-Israel association agreement Madrid will propose the measure at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Tuesday, said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Instead, hold the Israeli government accountable. This is the way:

Sad. The vast majority of Jews living outside Israel reject Netanyahu's policy of forever war and war crimes. Plus, Netanyahu will continue using attacks against Jews to justify his policy.

Why America is falling out of love with Israel Public opinion and elite sentiment has turned decisively against Netanyahu

"There should be no mystery why younger Americans are as pro-Palestinian today as their forebears were once pro-Israeli. Rabin staked his life on peace. What will posterity say of Netanyahu?" My column on why America is falling out of love with Israel. www.ft.com/content/353e...

I think I'm going to start an #aptonym collection. I've seen too many.

So this is #1:

"In April 2025, one of Russia’s satellites, believed to be connected to this mission, appeared to be “spinning uncontrollably” and may no longer be operational (Roulette 2025)."

Taking a sledgehammer to the nuclear nonproliferation regime While going to war over Iran’s uranium enrichment program, President Trump has given both South Korea and Saudi Arabia his blessing to acquire uranium-enrichment and spent-fuel-reprocessing programs,…

"President's Trump's disdain for the rules is endangering world order in many ways," write Frank N. von Hippel and Seyed Hossein Mousavian.

"We cannot leave defense of the nonproliferation regime for later, however. If we do, we may find ourselves in a nuclear-armed crowd."

I guess, 99 percent of voters will be fine with surtaxing the super rich.

(Plus, the trickle-down economy has also been perverted for decades due to tax optimization by the super rich.)

Go pied-à-terre tax.

Some are freaking out: "if New York drives away more wealth, voters won’t like the result of living in a city that’s downwardly mobile."

But the argument that taxes make rich people flee in mass has been debunked for years. It only serves to defend an unjust status quo.

It's 46 percent for @thebulletin.org, baby! 😎

It seems Washington needs to be reminded of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Washington is right to demand strong non-proliferation guarantees from Iran. But it must treat the institutions that make these guarantees credible as something more than disposable tools.

Last week, I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani is clearly having FUN as mayor—and treating his public service as the gift it is. There’s an important lesson here: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Same anti-youth rethoric often used in Europe, too.

Well, now you know. And you can impress your friends at your next weekend party.

I asked experts in November 2024 what to expect from Trump’s second term.

Their response: more erratic, darker, and more dangerous

Hope I'm wrong.

So they even could have some HEU over 60% somewhere since even before June 2025. I doubt even intelligence services would know that. Iran still hasn't explained publicly the traces of 84% enriched uranium, although the IAEA hasn't commented on that either I agree.

That was before the first June strikes. Since then they have no clue since no access. I am talking about what happened between June 2025 and February of this year. Nobody knows what Iran's intentions are. One way or the other.

Yes I am not saying it's the most probable scenario. But even the starting point is unknown. I mean the IAEA itself says it had lost continuity of knowledge for a period of about one year, and that this loss is irreducible.

The IAEA had monitoring systems at facilities. Intelligence agencies don't.

Yes. My assessment is that HEU at 60 might have entered Isfahan in early June. And until February it's enough time to have a cascade running there before closing the entrances. Nobody knows the status of the enrichment facility at Isfahan.

Blocking the Strait is not deterrence, it's leverage. Iran is still under attack.

To me the uranium situation has been unchanged since at least mid-February when Iran backfilled all tunnel entrances at Isfahan. So they could make that offer before the war.

Haven't heard the new Ayatollah saying the same.

Plus, the IAEA detected traces of uranium enriched at 84% in 2022. Was never explained publicly by Iran.

Yes but we live in a post-JCPOA world since 2018 already. Hard to believe Iran would go back to these conditions willingly. Especially now that it lost its deterrence power.

Whatever the final agreement—if any, and even if worse than the 2015 JCPOA—it must include allowing the IAEA access to the Isfahan underground complex.

That's the most pressing nuclear issue right now.
