The Iran war intensifies, with no real end in sight, Trump’s lip service to the contrary notwithstanding. The USA and Israel have different goals, and Europeans have declared, so far, that they will not get involved militarily, even though Keith Starmer, “the mother of all U-Turns,” changed his position to let the US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz. So far, Friedrich Merz stays strong, but for how long? Germany simply lacks a decisive, true and forceful leader. Still, the current world situation is described as mirroring devastating events prior to World War II.
Iran surprised the world when it allegedly struck a ballistic missile on a British military base more than 2,300 miles away, placing major European cities such as Berlin, London and Paris in danger. Speculations run rampant that Trump will order boots on the ground.
America’s intelligence service disagrees with Trump that Iran posed an imminent threat; the resignation of Joe Kent has rattled MAGA; and news broke that Denmark and European allies did in fact prepare for war with the USA over Greenland. We are also being told that the USA is indeed contemplating invading Cuba.
We are publishing several editorials taking different approaches as to whether Germany should or should not become militarily engaged in the Iran War; and we speak on Robert Mueller’s death and Trump’s shameful and disgusting reaction.
