"Wehrexperten aus CDU und CSU fordern von Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius (SPD) einen Plan für den Fall, dass die USA ihre militärischen Beiträge zur Nato kürzen. ..."
Na was? Ramstein übernehmen, komplett! Und den US-Einheiten anbieten, überzutreten in die europäischen Armeen! Und Ramstein nur zuerst, alles Andere danach! Und wir übernehmen das Equipment, sozusagen als Kompensation für Verrat!
Das Arschloch im Weißen Haus lag schon dämlich daneben beim Iran, wenn er mit der NATO nix mehr zu tun haben will, hat die USA nix mehr im Ramstein zu suchen! That´s easy!

The dangerous, self-centered, egotistical, idiotic president of the United States
1. President Trump confuses Iran with Venezuela:
> Despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a navy, no longer has an air force, no longer has a lot of people that were leading the country into very bad places and their leadership is gone.
Most Corrupt Act in Presidential History
Timothy Snyder suggests (plausibly) the Tangerine Tyrant is bringing about the 'superpower suicide' of the US... entirely to enrich his friends & family.
In a sense we all have intuited this for some time, but Snyder joins the dots in a helpful way.
indeed, we might conclude the individualistic logic of the US has finally (as many would expect) bitten it in the arse courtesy of the corrupt family Trump.

To elaborate:
It is not #antisemitism if you criticize #Israel for their war crimes, that new death penalty that's exclusive for Palestinians, the clear ethnic cleansing they are doing when they are flattening Palestinian settlements and building Israeli settlements that replace them. Condemning these is very legitimate.
However, it _is_ antisemitism when you pretend that Israel is the only nation involved in the conflicts of the Middle east who has their own agency. And when you claim that Israel somehow "makes other nations do their bidding", that's when we verge into "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" shit. Yeah, Israel lobbies other countries. But every country does that, and the nation that support Israel have their own reasons for doing so.
Take the #USA . They have a _powerful_ voting block of Christian fanatics who want Israel to be restored "in its historical borders" (whatever _that_ is supposed to mean) so that they can reach another milestone along their path to the literal End Times. So of course they are not just going to "support Israel", but the very worst people in Israel who are all in on the ethnic cleansing.
Furthermore, Israel is an ideal testbed for surveillance technology. All those technologies that are currently field tested on Palestinians will soon be used against black and Latin people in the USA - with the goal of upholding #WhiteSupremacy . From the perspective of shitty American leaders, both of these are excellent reasons to "support Israel" beyond somehow "being made to do Israel's bidding".
And reactionaries in both North America and Europe find the Israel-Palestine conflicts _very_ useful for their agenda. By supporting Israel, they can claim: "We are not bigots - look how we are supporting Jews, one of the most persecuted minorities! It's all those Muslims who are doing all the antisemitism in our lands (ignore the Nazi members in our movements)!" I sincerely doubt if most of them even care whether Jews and Muslims are killing each other - but they care very much about purging the Muslims from Europe and North America, and this conflict provides a never-ending source of excuses for stating that "Muslims do not belong to Europe/the USA!"
And then there are nations like #SaudiArabia who have not-so-covert alliances with Israel. Their biggest regional rival is #Iran - and the Sunni-Shiite conflict is far older than the founding of modern-day Israel. So of course they are going to support anything that takes Iran down a peg, as long as they themselves are not overly inconvenienced by the fallout.
Political leaders of other countries who support Israel's policies do so for their own reasons. They _choose_ this, and had full agency in their decision - Israel did not somehow "force" them to do this.
And pointing this out does not make me an "apologist for #Zionism " or some such nonsense. I merely refuse to accept the narrative that Israel, and Israel alone is somehow the source of all evils in the Middle East.

"As parents, educators, and lawmakers across the United States make the case that school shouldn’t be a place where kids zone out on devices, interact with risky algorithms, or unwittingly hand over data to profit-driven third parties, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves: How should we think about school? To begin answering this question, Jacobin consulted stakeholders in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest district.
A key theme that emerged from these discussions is the importance of thinking about school in the present. Technology’s allure is always future oriented: Personal computing was going to supercharge productivity; social media and smartphones would strengthen interpersonal connections; and now AI will streamline the world of work. And for three-quarters of a century, education technology vendors have promised to optimize student learning and eliminate the busywork of teaching. But as Charles Logan, T. Philip Nichols, and Antero Garcia recently argued in Kappan, “the future they’re selling has not arrived — and perhaps it never will. But de-skilling, surveillance, and extraction — all of that is happening now, in our classrooms, today.”
“It just doesn’t make sense to train six-year-olds on technology that may be obsolete in a few years,” Kate Brody told Jacobin. Nor does it make sense to train them “on consumer-facing technologies that are designed to be used intuitively” — as opposed to, say, reading, which is anything but intuitive."
