Hatte bei meiner Rede im #LandtagBW am 9.11.2023 bewusst auch die #Lindner-Formulierung von Erneuerbaren als #Freiheitsenergien aufgegriffen & zu #Friedensenergien weiterentwickelt.

Dass die Bundes-#FDP nun aber ernsthaft einen Förderstop für #Erneuerbare fordert, erschüttert mein Vertrauen in den #Liberalismus nach #Popper. Denn die fossil finanzierten Kriege durch #Russland, #Iran, #Katar etc. gegen die #Ukraine🇺🇦, #Israel🇮🇱 usw. sind noch nicht einmal vorbei! 😭🔥🇩🇪🇪🇺🤔

The turmoil in the Middle East has led to many speculations about the extent to which Russia and Iran are coordinating their actions. So I decided to make a video about the relationship between #Russia, #China, and #Iran.

This time I am linking to a post on my new Ghost site. Some people have requested that I post transcripts of my videos, which seemed like a good idea. So if you prefer to "read" my videos instead of watching them, you can sign up for the newsletter.

Is there an alliance between Russia, China, and Iran?

I just published this video about the relationship between Russia, China, and Iran. The topic came up again this week, when many people started speculating that maybe Russia was behind the Iranian air strikes on Israel.

#Iran's foreign minister refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children's toys.

"What happened last night was not a strike. They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones."

US official tells CNN the target is NOT #nuclear

Prior to the Israeli strike Fri (local), US expectation was that they would NOT target #civilian or nuclear facilities, another snr US official said.

#Israel told the #US its response would be limited in scope. US #intelligence suggested Israel was weighing a narrow & limited strike inside #Iran.

The range of targets was “never specified in precise terms but nuclear & civilian locations were clearly not in that category,” the 2nd ofcl added.

Per Andrea Mitchell:

#UnitedStates not involved in #Israeli strike in #Iran

The #US was not involved in #Israel's strike in Iran, a source familiar confirmed, adding that there was a pre-notification to the U.S. from the Israelis about the strike.

Wait, what? So Israel can break international law with impunity, bombing whoever it likes, but if they bomb your Embassy in a third country, you get sanctioned?
I'd like to see this theory tested on a country that *isn't* Iran.

Iran attack shows Israeli deterrence policy ‘shattered’, Netanyahu critics say.

[...] If it had not been so well choreographed, if it had been a complete surprise, I think fewer missiles would have been taken out and others would have got through. And I think while it is definitely a cliche to say Israel is completely indebted and dependent on the US, it is also true that if the US and other allies had not stood alongside Israel we would have seen a different outcome.

“The fact that Israel had to rely on a coalition contains a message: that you can’t imagine it’s always going to be like that.

“I don’t think people have grasped that properly before. That without American support there is really no way for Israel to maintain its security paradigm in way that it has."
