The internal assessment by @KimDarroch was no insult. It truly *is* interesting what he reported. Trump killed the Iran deal to spite Obama. Now we know that Trump with his "button" really is a threat to a world which he confuses with his personal toy. https://t.co/ukp3OIBJdC

Friends and Monsters

Leaving South Korea after a wonderful meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un. Stood on the soil of North Korea, an important statement for all, and a great honor!

Such friends, as the Beaver and Butcher became,
　Have seldom if ever been known;
In winter or summer, ’twas always the same—
　You could never meet either alone.

And when quarrels arose—as one frequently finds
　Quarrels will, spite of every endeavour—
The song of the Jubjub recurred to their minds,
　And cemented their friendship for ever!

He who fights with monsters might take care
lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you.

Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn,
dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird.
Und wenn du lange in den Abgrund blickst,
blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

G20 2019 in Osaka

I think that this #G20OsakaSummit has to deal with very severe pollution issues. https://t.co/ULb3NK0aeG

Dear @Twitter, you suspended @ForeverLogical. But the account @realDonaldTrump with its steady flow of toxic and insulting tweets still is on-line. That Mr. Trump even admires Kim Jong Un and protects MBS! @Twitter, you've got a nasty ethical problem. https://t.co/Xgh2itzYpf

I like that Dr. Angela Merkel keeps a big distance to the person who is responsible for the brutal killing of the @WashingtonPost Journalist #Khashoggi. Mr. Donald Trump, however, is close to Mr. Mohammad bin Salman (#MBS). pic.twitter.com/UiOzTKjHXO

The Banality of Evil

As a novelist, when I heard about this, I wanted to put a face to it, to understand who could stand up in court and argue for children being denied basic necessities. This is a video of a woman ‘just doing her job’. A cautious bureaucrat, an illustration of the banality of evil https://t.co/EOQiDBG8F0

With all due respect, our nation started out by enagaging in genocide and slavery. We had no compassion or common decency to people of color. But what we did do was move toward adopting high ideals and now we’re regressing back to what we used to be.

Whom Can I Believe?

….Death to America. I terminated deal, which was not even ratified by Congress, and imposed strong sanctions. They are a much weakened nation today than at the beginning of my Presidency, when they were causing major problems throughout the Middle East. Now they are Bust!….

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 21, 2019

….proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 21, 2019


 

Very smart thread this time. But who tells the truth? Trump? Iran's regime? MBS? In this alternative facts era, how can we know?

I live in a country where, in a peaceful landscape, US soldiers are stationed who pilot these drones: https://t.co/SfuZeTzDBp@RichardGrenell

North Korea has developed nuclear weapons.
Trump respects Kim Jong Un and saluts to his Generals.

Iran hasn't nuclear weapons yet.
Trump doesn't respect Iran's regime.

Trump keeps good relations with Saudi Arabia. They are a much strengthened nation today. Now Khashoggi is bust! He worked for the enemy of the people (@washingtonpost), but now he cannot comment anymore on Trump's handling of the Iran issue. https://t.co/QeLaUhjmvS

Trump and Huckabee had no clue. In such a scenario that kind of military salute surely is not "common courtesy": Trump isn't a soldier and wears no uniform. His salute is childish. Actually, the North Korean General seems to be a bit surprised.

Mohammed Bin Salman: Iran Is the Culprit

Also Mohammed bin Salman asserts that Iran is behind the attack. Surprise?

Since the butchering of #Khashoggi (https://t.co/0JG6yjwdoi ) #MBS has a credibility issue. Do Trump (https://t.co/sLIZWW76i7), Pompeo and the @GOP need MBS' help for 2020?

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, but there are several "state actors" who might want to deliberately tip an already belligerent Donald Trump and John Bolton towards war with Iran. Not least Benjamin Netanyahu and Mohammed bin Salman.
