I'm not going to make a redundant post, but I thought this quote in The Guardian was of note:
The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said on Tuesday: “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime. When a regime can only maintain power through violence, then it is effectively at its end. The population is now rising up against this regime.”
It's time to play everyone's favourite game: Was he referring to Iran or the U.S.?
Easy, the Iranians are rising up. Here in the West we're too comfortable to bother at the necessary scale.
So does he just mean the slightly greater tariffs, or is he actually planning something else?
I would hate for anyone to get wrecked over TACO.
He's trying hard to de legitimize the protests. :/ The best thing the US can do to help at this point it stay the hell out.
He is going to make himself the President of Iran, isn't he?
As well as Venezuela, Canada and Cuba.
If he's satisfied with just saying stuff, he should cut to the chase and declare himself president of Earth. Maybe the whole solar system, to get ahead of things.
And Greenland!
Do they have a golf course already?
