Incredibly clever of the people of #Iceland to decide not wanting to join the EU.
It is much easier now for Trump to incorporate Iceland into his Großmannssucht plans.
So smart, you guys.

![The mask slips
Israel's indignant reaction to the arrest warrant against Netanyahu and its call on the ‘civilised nations of the world’ not to enforce the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants is nothing less than a clear sign of the actual state of affairs – namely, that ‘Western’ actors do not belong in the dock. And [German chancellor] Friedrich Merz's invitation to Netanyahu despite the arrest warrant is yet another example of how international law only applies to the weak.
In a world where might makes right, no one can seriously be expected to choose the fate of the weaker. Those who already have nuclear bombs will certainly not give them up. Those who did not yet have them or want them can no longer be accused of striving for them. This applies not only to Iran, but to everyone. Especially in the entire Global South.
There is much to suggest that the statements made by Chancellor Merz, who described Israel's actions as necessary ‘dirty work’ for the ‘West’, were not a slip of the tongue, but rather the dropping of the last mask. The claim to moral superiority exists alongside the fact that power politics beyond the rule of law and international law has always been the norm. The despots of the world gratefully accept this double standard.
The binding nature of international law is finally a thing of the past when it is once again undermined by those who constantly demand compliance with it. And anyone who believes that this supposed ‘war of civilisations’ will bring anything close to peace and security fails to recognise that, since today at the latest, we live in a world in which we have all become less secure.
