Even worse, these reserves were built for specific crisis scenarios *that may yet happen* - and how will we respond then to some acute crisis (take your pick) with depleted strategic reserves? Not favourably, me thinks…

Telling the world you ran out of bombs after sucker-punching world superpowers <checks notes> Venezuela and Iran is not a flex. In fact, it makes us look like the blowhard paper tiger we are. You killed public education to fund the military for decades and ran out of bombs in two weeks

The Middle East is a place where you can announce to kill “groups of people” with impunity. You wouldn’t do that in Venezuela for example, because that’s in the “western hemisphere”. But Middle Easterners can be dehumanized and erased en masse. Shocking. This will not end well.

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August. A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

In meinem neuen Buch, das JETZT im Buchhandel ist, erzähle ich unter anderem, wie die Idee in die Welt kam, nur ein Krieg gegen den Iran werde den endgültigen Frieden im Nahen Osten bringen. Schon Ende 2004 wurde das bei einer Tagung propagiert, an der ich teilnahm. Ehrengast: John Bolton.

Just saying that "we had to go to war because the Israelis were going to do it anyway and we needed to protect our people from the fallout, in that sense this is a preventive war" - is a hell of a way to foster anti-jewish conspiracy theories.

Der Unterschied liegt auf der Hand: weder UK noch Frankreich haben den Atlantik zwischen sich und Putin.

Joint declaration of President Macron and Chancellor Merz on closer Franco-German cooperation in the field of deterrence in response to the evolving threat landscape of 2 March 2026 www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/such...

In the spirit of their close partnership as set out in Article 4 of the Treaty of Aachen, France and Germany have decided to enter into closer cooperation in the field of deterrence in response to the evolving threat landscape.

France and Germany have established a high-ranking nuclear steering group that will act as a bilateral framework for doctrinal dialogue and the coordination of strategic cooperation, including consultations regarding the appropriate mix of conventional, missile defence and French nuclear capabilities. France and Germany have agreed to take first concrete steps beginning this year, including German conventional participation in French nuclear exercises and joint visits to strategic sites as well as development of conventional capabilities with European partners. France and Germany will also increase their ability, as Europeans, to manage escalation beneath the nuclear threshold – in particular in the fields of Early Warning and Air Defense and Deep Precision Strike.

This Franco-German cooperation is based on the shared understanding that the nuclear dimension of deterrence remains a cornerstone of European security, relying on US extended deterrence, including US nuclear weapons forward-deployed to Europe, and on the independent strategic nuclear forces of France and the United Kingdom, which have a deterrent role of their own and contribute significantly to the overall security of the Alliance. This Franco-German cooperation will add to, not substitute for, NATO’s nuclear deterrence and NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements, to which Germany contributes and will continue to contribute. France and Germany will continue to comply with their obligations under international law including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

In light of their strong commitment to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and Art. 42 (7) of the Treaty on European Union, Franco-German cooperation aims at strengthening the systems of collective security both countries belong to. It aims at enhancing Europe’s security as a whole. Special attention will be given to coordination with the United States, the United Kingdom, other Allies and NATO.
