He is finally embarrassed by his favorite president‘s recent actions?

Wenigstens ein non sequitur…

Scharlatane beim Bestärken eines dementen, bösartigen alten Mannes.

I’ll call this 1st photo ‘Home, at last’. 200 Ukrainian defenders returned back today from Russian captivity.
Oh the joy.
Oh the pain

Das ist schon fast Reichskanzleibunkermentalität.

Trump's Unauthorized Strikes on Iran Take America's Imperial Presidency to New Heights Khamenei's departure is nothing to mourn but regime change might require more than air strikes

“In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive...[T]he trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man."

News from Iran is dominating and drowning out everything right now.

But, you should know that things are looking good for Ukraine and really grim for the Russians right now. High Russian casualties, supply troubles, and small but steady Ukrainian advances.

Wäre Sch… drauf eine angebrachte Reaktion?

What a pity for these “big, beautiful ships”!

Mund halten ist nicht so seins.

RR Reno and First Things reliably inventive when it is about apologizing for POTUS:
"In view of this unhappy history, on Saturday morning, when Trump announced 'major combat operations' against Iran, he was not so much declaring war as recognizing the failure of the most recent tacit ceasefire."

What, exactly, is "Catholic" in your culture when:

- 1 in 5 Catholics in the US are either at risk of deportation or live with someone who is

- 61% of immigrants vulnerable to deportation are Catholic - 29% of US Catholics are immigrants

- 14% of US Catholics are the children of immigrants

(1/2)

When in doubt blame Ukraine, which ironically is the only country that currently has legal justification to wage war against Iran under international law.

Vibrant simple painting, bright purples blues, greens, perhaps a lake in foreground with small green islands. Grass, a path, trees. Houses. Hills blue sky with clouds.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

„Department of War“. Their families may curse Trump and Hegseth.

Möge sie in Frieden ruhen.

American naval and airpower has a level of unprecedented tactical overmatch whose impact should not be underestimated.

But that is power that can shatter a state, not pressure that can shape its long term strategic path after that.

Happy birthday!!!

I guess so. Schauen is a activity of the (anatomical or metaphorical) eye. The French translation says „Voir la figure“. Seems similar to the English re: the perception aspect.

( How does „Seeing the Form“ even mean the same as „Schau der Gestalt“? - Schau is clearly less linked with sensory perception.)

Die Ukraine hat den härtesten Winter seit Kriegsbeginn überlebt. Der Frühling kommt.
