A lot more than that. But this isn’t really in response to the airstrikes on the Iranian territory. It’s more a result of the assassination of Iranian leadership and the disintegration of even war-time diplomatic relations.

These three particular individuals have been sitting on death row for a long while. These particular executions were deferred, on the theory that they might be traded for Iranian agents and diplomats seized abroad. Since diplomatic ties have degraded to the current point, there’s no real expectation that a trade of intelligence officers is possible, so there’s no value in simply jailing them any longer. Huge value in having a high profile execution for public morale.

Iran has resumed attacks

Hey! No fair! Stop hitting back!!

Mr. Trump said over the weekend that he’d likely reject the Iranian proposal, as “they have not paid a big enough price.”

force disarmerment

Current standard for disarming is to eliminate Iran’s ability to make medium range artillery. I’m not sure what that would even look like. You’d need to do to Iran what the US failed to do to Yemen.

German right-wing party AfD’s close ties to China

The AfD has deeper ties to Elon Musk, Steven Miller, and Steve Bannon than anyone currently working in the Chinese Communist Party. And that’s outright ignoring the mass proliferation of home grown fascism, thanks to Friedrich Flick, Fritz Thyssen, and Günther Quandt - all of whose business empires have spawned fascist movements leading right up to the modern era.

The Sinophobia is, itself, a product of that extreme right-wing language and culture. By propagating it, you’re spouting fascist rhetoric and contributing to the fascist turn across the US and Europe.

It’s a fundamentally extremist party with close ties to and backed by China

I gotta wonder which Europeans were chanting “Less Ethnic Unity!”

The Germans? The French? Certainly not the Portuguese.

Gotta say, this feels like a great moment to lead by example. How many European states are excited about a large Muslim ethnic enclave running a rump state in their own backyards? Bueller? Anybody?

Hey, how about we at least let Turkiye join the EU? Oh wow wow! Now you’re all super mad at me! Okay, put down the guns, I’ll leave.

Why?

Well, for starters… nobody really likes being tortured and caged indefinitely.

Their kit is junk and they don’t know shit.

The Israel Special

Strike a civilian center. Strike the EMS workers that respond to the attack. Strike anyone who responds to aid the EMS workers.

Eventually, what you’ve killed isn’t simply other humans. What you’ve killed is the popular supply of social empathy. You’ve engaged in a kind of natural selection, by which anyone with a reflexively decent and caring bone in their body is wiped from the face of the Earth.

This is how you destroy a civilization. This is how you make the rest of the Middle East more Israeli.

And once they’ve got the plutonium to trade, another four days away from getting ahold of Doc Brown’s time machine.
