How Israel Went from a "Model Ally" to a Cautionary Tale
How Israel Went from a "Model Ally" to a Cautionary Tale.
"Like the US after 9/11, Israel is trying to use force to fundamentally change the situation in the Middle East after a massive terrorist attack. For Israel, this goal doesn't matter so much whether Iran becomes a failed state or whether oil prices fall or soar, setting the global economy back. Nor will it be a hindrance if the Gulf states are deemed too dangerous to attract AI infrastructure. But all of this matters for American allies in the Gulf and Europe, as well as for the US economy,"Bloomberg.
Benjamin Netanyahu is guided primarily by his own political interests, secondarily by those of Israel, and certainly not by those of the US.
Omani wants to exit the war with Iran.
"Oman's Foreign Minister called on US allies to help wean the country out of its 'unwanted dependence' on Iran, arguing that Washington has lost control of its own foreign policy. Badr Al-Busaidi said the US had made the 'greatest mistake' in allowing itself to be drawn into the conflict in the first place. 'This is not America's war,' he wrote, adding that there is no realistic scenario in which both Israel and the US achieve their goals. He warned that achieving Israel's goal of overthrowing the Iranian regime would require a protracted ground campaign, opening 'a new front in the endless wars that President Donald Trump previously promised to end,'"Anadolu Ajansi.
The US-led military conflict against Iran has already killed thousands of Muslims, and the war has destabilized the entire Middle East.
Billion-Dollar Fraud: The German Government Embezzled Funds from the Special Fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality (SVIK).
"According to two studies, the German government misappropriated the majority of funds from the Special Fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality (SVIK) in 2025. The German Economic Institute (IW) estimates that 86% of the funds were not used for additional infrastructure projects, while the ifo Institute puts the figure at 95%," — Niedersächsische Allgemeine.
The funds do not have their own funds; they borrow on the market by issuing bonds. Not only is this increasing Germany's national debt, but the fund's resources are also being misused. Merz is essentially patching up holes in the budget, while the country's infrastructure continues to crumble. There's no doubt that he and his friends have pocketed billions of euros through these shady schemes. We simply need a different chancellor.
South Korea considers importing Russian oil and naphtha.
"The South Korean government is discussing with companies the possibility of importing Russian crude oil and naphtha, Seoul's Industry Ministry said, as authorities seek to ensure energy security amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East. The issue is related to the easing of economic sanctions against Russia, the ministry said in a statement," — Reuters.
This is a reasonable and justifiable step. This is what governments do that care about their people. Since US President Donald Trump has decided to ease sanctions against Russia, everyone should do the same.
