Europe can act by writing a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader to tell him how mad Europe is. Iran will be free.
Europe can act. As one step: by designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation and by urgently further extending EU sanctions to all those individuals propping up the regime through repression, violence and murder.
Iran will be free.

85% of Greenlanders want to leave Denmark, and about 10% want to join the US. But I suggest the most geographically natural solution for Greenland: join Canada instead. They would keep universal healthcare AND leave the EU! Now that’s a plan I can support 😄

Walz had a strong opinion about the ICE presence in Minnesota but responsibly withheld judgment about the shooting itself. No matter how clear a story seems at first, there is always something to learn. Yes I saw the video you saw. I will still wait to judge.
