As he departed Washington for the NATO summit in The Hague on Tuesday, Trump said both Israel and Iran had violated the cease-fire.
This was just hours after Trump had announced that the cease-fire had gone into effect.
Trump was enraged that the truce was seemingly crumbling so quickly.
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.
Do you understand that?” Trump told reporters.

Trump Enraged as Iran-Israel Cease-Fire Wobbles

Donald is unhappy.

While we are looking at Iran/Israel/Gaza, Putin continues with his demolishing of Ukraine. Let's hope leaders at the NATO summit also discuss about how to counter Russia and prevent these kind of attacks. We defend Israel with allied forces why not Ukraine?

"‘The ocean is not a backdrop’: MEPs and experts say oceans must be prioritised at COP30"

What message has the Nice ocean summit sent to COP30 this year?
Campaigners, MEPs and experts made pleas from UNOC3 for oceans to be protected at the climate summit in Brazil.

Putin clearly wants to show how powerless Trump and NATO are against him attacking civilian targets in Ukraine during the NATO-summit.

Reckon it'd be pretty metal if Canada stopped Trump at the boarder, sending him back when he tries to get to the G7 Summit. No convicted felons/fascist autocrats allowed.

When Donald Trump last attended a Group of 7 meeting in Canada, he was in many ways the odd man out.
At that meeting, in 2018, Trump called for the alliance of Western countries to embrace Russia,
antagonized allies and
ultimately stormed out of the summit over a trade battle he began by imposing metals tariffs on Canada.
As he returns on Sunday for the Group of 7 meeting in Alberta, those fissures have only deepened.
Since retaking office, the president has sough…

As Trump Returns to G7, Rift With Allies Is Even Deeper
In 2018, the president called for the group to embrace Russia and stormed out of the summit. Now he is seeking to shrink America’s military role abroad and embarking on a more expansive trade war.

Money, mining and marine parks: The big issues at UN ocean summit
France is hosting world leaders this week to confront what the United Nations calls a global "emergency" in the oceans—but what is expected, and can the summit make a difference?

The goal of the NATO-summit is pleasing Trump and giving him a win. Just to have some extra time for the European alternative to NATO that needs to be formed.

The Effects of GitHub Copilot on Computing Students' Programming Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Processes in Brownfield Programming Tasks
When graduates of computing degree programs enter the software industry, they will most likely join teams working on legacy code bases developed by people other than themselves. In these so-called brownfield software development settings, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) coding assistants like GitHub Copilot are rapidly transforming software development practices, yet the impact of GenAI on student programmers performing brownfield development tasks remains underexplored.

Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran,
citing what he said was the country's rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development.
Trump was due to leave the Group of Seven summit in Canada later on Monday -- a day early -- due to the Middle East situation, the White House said.
Fox News reported Trump would convene his National Security Council.
