(0630) Rough night for Iran, rough night for me. In my case … better with eventual sleep. Iran? (0819)
5. Over at OoL this morning

Something a bit unusual over there in that I’m going to delete the content of that post at midday, mainly because it shall reappear elsewhere in our labyrinth at that time, unsignposted.

a) The European Parliament’s ‘Patriots for Europe’ group is to table another confidence vote against Ursula von der Leyen and her European Commission for “forcing through” the Mercosur trade agreement.
b) The Mercosur deal has been concluded against the will of farmers and key member states, in the name of a geopolitical strategy detached from the social reality of rural Europe.
c) According to a study by business consultancy Falkensteg, the number of large German companies – defined as those with more than €10 million in turnover – going bankrupt has grown by about a quarter to 471 last year.
d) Showdown expected as U.S. plans European visit about Greenland.
e) New financial declarations from top woke charities Stonewall and Mermaids show massive declines in income. Spare a thought for Jolyon Maugham…
1. Iran sit rep as far as we know
Given that the regime henchmen still in town do their worst during the day, Nioh Berg possibly has it right:
“Tehran earlier tonight. Like I said it’s becoming more and more like a war, and Iran is still holding strong against the demonic islamic regime. Many casualties but people are pushing forward instead of retreating.”
Why such inordinate time spent on this site on Iran? Aside from the moral question, there is the geopolitical … then there is the politico-philosophical, the strategic. How many armchair pundits of the gung ho type have urged OTHERS to get out there, be counted, fight back, with homilies about we are millions, they are but a few. Or translated, by mixing metaphors … just who exactly is going to bell the cat? Who is going to risk rape, torture, gruesome murder, to save his or her land?
Physically. Sure we pundits are taken down, threatened, blacklisted, consta-insulted … compare that to what Iranians in the streets are facing, particularly as the regime is known for trying to take out known rabble raisers.
That’s as far as we can know at this point. More if it breaks.
