At the end of the day what is considered “terrorism” is political. If we were to use the term in the definitions sense every government is terrorist. Many countries proud themselves on some point in history that would be considered terrorism, like the American Independence or French Revolution.

It is always terrorism if it is challenging the current power and if it wins it becomes freedome fighting instead. Looking at the way climate protests are handled in the UK or Germany it becomes increasingly absurd, as nonviolent acts of civil disobedience are now investigated and charged as “terrorism”.

Even if the US suddenly lost all its fighter jets, naval force, missiles and bombs. How likely would an invasion be in the next 10 to 50 years?

It is quite a big country with a big population, with a practically uninhabited and difficult to cross country in the north, and a poor drug war ridden country with significant amount of jungle in the south. To the west and east are oceans with some thousands of kilometres until the next sizable and properly inhabitated landmass.

So purely in geographics terms, invading and conquering the US is a huge pain.

Now add to it all the issues of the US dominance in global trade and the ramifications such an invasion would have.

The US doesnt need that army or MIC for defense. It is offense focused and it needs to keep murdering people all over the world to keep its wheels turning.

In the second half of 2022 Germany had to export a lot of energy to France, because french nuclear power plants are so poorly run that a lot of them had to be taken off network at the same time.

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/even-crisis-germany-extends-power-exports-neighbours-2023-01-05/

FRANKFURT, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Germany exported more electricity to its neighbours than it imported in 2022, even with an energy crisis at home, thanks to more more weather-driven renewable power and greater demand from France.

Due to the technical problems affecting French reactors, Germany for the first time sold more power to France than it received from its neighbour, doubling its year-earlier export volume there. France produced 15.1% less power in 2022 and the volume fell short of national usage by 1%. France faced its own energy crisis amid outages owing to delayed maintenance and stress corrosion.

France failing to diversify its energy production is not a failure of Germany or any other country though.

Maybe if the difference between “just an expensive technology” and “deadly disaster impacting the lifes of millions of people” is some bad management and poor regulatory oversight, it is not a technology fit for the use of current humanity.

This is a poor argument. You just did what you explicitly should not do with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results.

The ISO 14044 specifically requires life cycle assessment to include all relevant impact categories. In particular in comparative analysis it is crucial to not single out any one category, but look at the impact on the endpoints, e.g. ecosystems or human health.

https://www.h2.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Einrichtungen/Hochschulbibliothek/Downloaddateien/DIN_EN_ISO_14044.pdf

See page 37 onwards.

Here is the full LCA study, that you drew only one category from

https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2022-04/LCA_3_FINAL March 2022.pdf

Look at the Endpoint indicators, like “Lifecycle impact on ecosystems, per MWh, in pointes”, “Life cycle impacts on ecosystems, no climate change,per MWh, in pointes”, “Life cycle impacts on human health,per MWh, in pointes” etc.

Nuclear power does fare well in these categories, but often only marginally different to Wind Power and Solar Power. It certainly does not offset the cost difference, when you also have to include the opportunity costs of running coal or gas plants longer.

In knapp 20 Minuten bietet Muhamad Jalal, Host des englischen “The Thinking Muslim” Podcast eine Zusammenfassung der Situation in Syrien während des Bürgerkriegs und nun da Assad besiegt wurde.

Assad, Iran, Hezbollah, die vermeintliche “Achse des Widerstandes”, Russland, USA, Türkei, UAE und Israel. Die Rolle der SDF Kurden, ISIS und HTS. Alle Akteure werden kritisch beleuchtet und es bleibt die Erkenntnis, dass eine gute Zukunft für Syrien nur aus Syrien selbst heraus geschaffen werden kann, und nicht durch Einmischung ausländischer Mächte.

Bei allem Witz, es wird sich in den nächsten Jahren böse rächen, dass die Ambitionen einer gemeinsamen europäischen Sicherheitspolitik nach Trumps erster Amtszeit wieder auf die lange Bank geschoben wurden.

Him not being able to visit limits his ability to do diplomacy. It also does create some pressure for other countries head of states not to visit him. I understand that it is difficult to see the advantage as it is a slow and tedious process. But it is another nail in the coffin and the nails are becoming more and more.

So you turn on the lights, get your coffee and read your newspaper/browse your phone until someone else is actually there.

Then you do the same thing once you are the only person left.

Congratulations. Flipping on and off lightswitches is the shittiest metric a company can seek and is evidence of bad management.

An organization under this name does exist, but seems to not have a website or other public presence. Of course this does raise legitimate questions. However the author of the meforum text even provided the evidence for the existence of a registered organization on his own website.

The author of the text on the meforum Soeren Kern even published the registration information on his website

To add to the problems of the meforum. An extreme rise in Islamophobia is also reported by the UN:

https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2024/03/un-experts-warn-islamophobia-rising-alarming-levels

For the US an extreme rise in Islamophobic attacks since October 2023 is reported:

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/02/cair-anti-muslim-crimes-2023-islamophobia-gaza/73117343007/

The EU reports a steady increase of Islamophobia for the time pre October 2023:

https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2024-10/muslimfeindlichkeit-deutschland-antidiskriminierungsbeauftragte-ataman

For the UK an 236 % increase between 2023 and 2024 is reported by the UK NGO Islamophobia Response Unit

https://www.theiru.org.uk/increase-in-islamophobia-from-january-2024-to-april-2024/

For Germany the CLAIM-Allianz also reports a surge in Islamophobic attacks since October 2023:

https://www.claim-allianz.de/aktuelles/news/pressemitteilung-gewaltvolle-uebergriffe-drohungen-diskriminierungen-zahl-antimuslimischer-vorfaelle-bundesweit-erneut-gestiegen/
https://www.claim-allianz.de/presse/pressemitteilung-antimuslimische-uebergriffe-und-diskriminierung-in-deutschland-2023-mehr-als-fuenf-antimuslimische-vorfaelle-pro-tag/

I would be surprised if similar findings would not be there for other European countries, whose languages i cannot speak unfortunately. There is a direct correlation between October 7 and Israels war on Gaza and the rise of Islamophobia, including violent attacks on Muslims or people perceived as Muslims. It should be of strong concern, that the meforum is trying to downplay this, as it appears to have extensive funding and is more well connected through other lobby groups. It is bewildering, that such organizations, who advocate for oppression and violence as “solution” are allowed to operate in Europe.

The meforum is a radical pro Israel lobby group that wants the military defeat/annihilation of Palestinians. Their website proudly boasts a program called “Israel Victory Project”

https://www.meforum.org/ivp

The Israel Victory Project steers U.S. and Israeli policy toward backing an Israel victory over the Palestinians to end the conflict by convincing the Palestinians of their defeat in their century-long war against Israel. The project offers general policy guidelines does not deal with the specifics of resolution; whatever one’s ideas about final status, Palestinian defeat enhances their prospects. Our motto: First recognition, then negotiation. First victory, then peace.

Only when Palestinians end their nihilism and rejectionism can they build a polity, economy, society, and culture worthy of their skills. Thus, is a defeat benefits Palestinians even more than Israelis.

The project focuses on decision-makers, opinion-shapers, and publics in Israel and the United States with an eye to reviving victory as a concept.

Note that the emphasized statement follows an extremely dehumanizing cynicism like it was argued by European colonialists as they committed genocides all over Africa, the Americas and Asia.

The Leopold Weiss Institute is named after Muhammad Asad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Asad

Muhammad Asad[a] (born Leopold Weiss; 2 July 1900 – 20 February 1992) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Pakistani Muslim polymath. He worked as a journalist, traveler, writer, political theorist, and diplomat.

The university of Vienna reports an address in Vienna for a registered organization under that name, founded in 2007 with the state goal to “research contemporary Muslim life and thought”.

https://www.islam-landkarte.at/detail/leopold-weiss-institut-zur-erforschung-zeitgenoessischen-muslimischen-lebens-und-denkens

The author of the text on the meforum Soeren Kern even published the registration information on his website

https://soerenkern.com/pdfs/islam/lwiwien.pdf

The head of the organization in the registration entry is Farid Hafez, who is mentioned in the meforum text too. As the meforum text admits. Hafez lived in Austria at the time. The allegations of terror affiliation made by the meforum text are absurd though, as a judge cleared Hafez, like the text itselfs admits.

To conclude: There is some legitimate questions regarding the connection to the Turkish government. However the meforum is an islamophobe lobby group, that tries to spread Islamophobia and call for Israels military “victory” over the Palestinians, which given the reality of the already existing occupation only leaves the ethnic cleansing or genocide of Palestinians. the meforum is part of a network to spread exactly the hate, whose existence and increase as a part of Israels political strategy, they try to deny.

Bis auf Werner Maihofer und Gerhart Baum (beide FDP) waren alle Bundesinnenministys der BRD von der Union oder SPD. Gerhart Baum hatte 2004 mit Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger beim Verfassungsgericht gegen das damalige Überwachungsgesetz “Großer Lauschangriff” geklagt, ebenso gegen die Online-Durchsuchung in NRW und gegen die Vorratsdatenspeicherung.

Maihofer, der Vorgänger von Baum war dagegen in illegale Vorgänge beim Verfassungsschutz involviert, u.a. illegale Abhörmaßnahmen.

Es stimmt schon, dass es mit dem Amt eine gewisse Tendenz gibt. Allerdings füllen die einschlägigen Parteien dieses Amt auch mit entsprechen Charakteren und decken diese dann oft.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_deutschen_Innenminister
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Maihofer
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhart_Baum

Der mutmaßliche Täter hat monatelang auf Twitter Androhungen gemacht. Saudi Arabien soll die deutsche Behörden gewarnt haben. Privatpersonen sollen die deutschen Behörden gewarnt haben.

Die SPD nutzt diesen mutmaßlich Rechtsextremen Anschlag, um eine autoritäre Rechte Überwachungspolitik voranbringen zu wollen, in dem Wissen, dass diese hier nichts gebracht hätte, wie auch in den anderen Fällen in der Vergangenheit.

Wenn Faeser einen Funken Anstand hätte, hätte sie heute ihren Rücktritt verkündet, anstatt zu fordern, dass mehr Überwachungsmaßnahmen noch mehr Rauschen erzeugen, auf das die Polizei noch konsequenter relevante Hinweise ignoriert.

Müssen? Nein.

Es ist in der Vergangenheit aber schon zu oft vorgekommen, dass Polizeibeamte bei rechtsextremen Angriffen und in rechtsextremen Strukturen involviert sind. Und es ist schon zu oft vorgekommen, dass sie in der Folge ungewöhnlich gut behandelt wurden, bzw. z.T. auch direkt gedeckt wurden. Deswegen ist es in meinen Augen eine realistische Möglichkeit in diesem Fall.

Androhung langjähriger Haftstrafen -> Motivation zur Flucht, zur Verdunkelung, oder mit Folgetaten wie Mord “all in” zu gehen.

Dazu kommt, dass es hunderte Rechtsextreme Straftäter gibt, die in Deutschland untergetaucht leben. Wir haben Rechtsextreme Terrorzellen wie NSU, die dann auch jahrelang im Untergrund gelebt haben.

Schließlich bleibt aber vor allem die Frage, wie das die Polizisten bei der Aufnahme der Personalien festgestellt haben wollen. Das wirkt für mich reichlich kurz, um diese Gefahren auszuschließen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal

Great Britain attempted to develop a canal in 1843. According to the New-York Daily Tribune, 24 August 1843, Barings Bank of London and the Republic of New Granada entered into a contract for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Darien (Isthmus of Panama). They referred to it as the Atlantic and Pacific Canal, and it was a wholly British endeavor. Projected for completion in five years, the plan was never carried out. At nearly the same time, other ideas were floated, including a canal (and/or a railroad) across Mexico’s Isthmus of Tehuantepec. That did not develop, either.[9]

In 1846, the Mallarino–Bidlack Treaty, negotiated between the US and New Granada, granted the United States transit rights and the right to intervene militarily in the isthmus. In 1848, the discovery of gold in California, on the West Coast of the United States, generated renewed interest in a canal crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallarino–Bidlack_Treaty

Officially, it was entitled Tratado de Paz, Amistad, Navegación y Comercio (Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Commerce and Navigation), and was meant to represent an agreement of mutual cooperation. It granted the U.S. significant transit rights over the Panamanian isthmus, as well as military powers to suppress social conflicts and independence struggles targeted against Colombia. Under the Bidlack-Mallarino Treaty, the U.S. intervened militarily many times on the isthmus, usually against civilians, peasant guerrillas, or Liberal Party independence struggles. After the beginning of the California Gold Rush of 1848, the U.S. spent seven years constructing a trans-isthmian Panama Railway. The result of the treaty, however, was to give the United States a legal opening in politically and economically influencing the Panama isthmus, which was part of New Granada at the time, but was later to become the independent country of Panama in accordance with the wishes of the United States. In 1903, however, the United States failed to gain access to a strip on the isthmus for the construction of a canal, and reversed its position on Panamanian secession from the Republic of Colombia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama–United_States_relations

The evolution of the relation between Panama and the USA has followed the pattern of a Panamanian project for the recovering of the territory of the Canal of Panama, a project which became public after the events of May 21, 1958, November 3, 1959, and then on January 9, 1964. The latter day is known in Panama as the Martyrs’ Day (Panama), in which a riot over the right to raise the Panamanian flag in an American school became the vicinity of the Panama Canal.

The following years saw a lengthy negotiation process with the United States, culminating with the Torrijos–Carter Treaties, in which the transfer of the Panama Canal to Panama was set to be completed in December, 1999. The process of transition, however, was made difficult by the existence of the de facto military rule of Manuel Noriega in Panama from 1982 to 1989.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama

The United States invaded Panama in mid-December 1989 during the presidency of George H. W. Bush. The stated purpose of the invasion was to depose the de facto ruler of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, who was wanted by U.S. authorities for racketeering and drug trafficking. The operation, codenamed Operation Just Cause, concluded in late January 1990 with the surrender of Noriega.[9] The Panama Defense Forces (PDF) were dissolved, and President-elect Guillermo Endara was sworn into office.

Noriega, who had longstanding ties to United States intelligence agencies, consolidated power to become Panama’s de facto dictator in the early 1980s. In the mid-1980s, relations between Noriega and the U.S. began to deteriorate due to fallout of the murder of Hugo Spadafora and the removal from office of President Nicolas Ardito Barletta. His criminal activities and association with other spy agencies came to light, and in 1988 he was indicted by federal grand juries on several drug-related charges. Negotiations seeking his resignation, which began under the presidency of Ronald Reagan, were ultimately unsuccessful. In 1989, Noriega annulled the results of the Panamanian general elections, which appeared to have been won by opposition candidate Guillermo Endara; President Bush responded by reinforcing the U.S. garrison in the Canal Zone. After a U.S. Marine officer was shot dead at a PDF roadblock, Bush authorized the execution of the Panama invasion plan.

The history of Panama and the US in general and the Canal in particular is riddled with the US meddling violently in the affairs of Panama and suppressing its people on the behalf of US aligned dictators.

His approval got quite high again, when they invaded Lebanon. No government since the assassination of Yitzak Rabin by a Likud fanatic ever stopped the expansion of settlements. Unfortunately there is only a small minority in Israel that is fundamentally opposed to stealing Palestinian land and murdering Palestinians. These people demonstrate and take action bravely, and often get beaten up, abused, face death threats and other attacks by the Israeli government and the mainstream society.

Yeah. There is plenty of fascist nations and failed empires that got removed or completely revamped in history.

Remove the IDF and government to prisons, where war criminals belong, create a new state that is not based on any ethnic supremacy, but equal rights for everyone. Give back the stolen land to its rightful owners, as well as compensate the victims of crimes properly.

Jews, Christians and Muslims used to life together quite well in Palestine before the Zionists came. The state of Israel is the greatest danger to the safety of Jewish people in the region and the world, as all fascist nations are ultimately the greatest danger to their own people or people they claim as their own.
