A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.
🧵 1 of 3
#USpol #Iran #kegseth

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…
screenshot of a post by Oz Katerji @OzKaterji I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong. [quote post] Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace …
screenshot of a post by Michael McFaul @McFaul This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible. [quote post] Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi The full text of the …
screenshot of a post by Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska? Jun 18, 2026 • 2:23 AM UTC

One of the views of a recent hike. After quite a while I reached the ridge and finally got the south bound views.
I took some photos while having a little rest and then went on to the summit ...
That day I really noticed how great the rests work together with making photos. And also one of the things that I can hardly do when hiking in a group.
some more of the story:

This image captures a breathtaking alpine meadow in full bloom, set against the backdrop of majestic snow-capped mountains. The foreground is dominated by vibrant yellow dandelions, their bright petals standing out vividly against the lush green grass. The flowers are in sharp focus, drawing the viewer's attention to their delicate details and adding a sense of vitality and warmth to the scene. Beyond the meadow, a dense forest of evergreen trees stretches out, their dark green foliage providi…

What is so bewildering about Trump’s cruelty is how it has been allowed to pass, its casualness.
Donald Trump hovers above the circus of death and chaos.
Trump defies attempts to make his actions cohere with any particular strategy.
His wars, killing of innocents, and indeed, the threatening of entire civilisations are reshaping the world,
but without him even having orchestrated some master plan.
He is animated by little more than momentary impulses and resent…

Trump’s presidency is what evil looks like: absurd, frightening, cruel
Commentators have said that the US president’s clownishness and lack of ideology somehow make him less dangerous. They’re wrong, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Lotus club #Autocross at Salinas airport today. Lots of fun with friends but I left the Lotus at home and took our Taycan to give it a work out. Very fast but the weight was too much for street tires. Best time was an afternoon fun run with four of us in the car…

Kash Patel built a slush fund inside the FBI to hand out fat cash bonuses the men who do his
(and by extension, Todd Blanche’s and Donald Trump’s) dirty work.
This is what the rot consuming our Republic looks like up close.
There’s a particular tell in the way a regime decays,
and Kash Patel just gave us the textbook example.
When the people in charge of the law start paying cash -- out of view of oversight and largely off the books,
to the people who br…
