9 DAYS TO IOWA: RALLY IN AMES WITH AOC
WHAT „NOT ME, US“ MEANS: I cannot win this election alone. I need you to do everything you can to help us take back power from the billionaire class and create a nation based on justice and dignity for all. Join me, AOC, Michael Moore and Portugal. The Man live in Ames:
Die unerträgliche Heuchelei der US-Sanktionen gegen den Iran
Das bedeutet, dass der iranische Nachrichtendienst von der Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten zensiert wird und dass die Amerikaner deshalb von diesem ausländischen Medienkanal nichts mehr sehen können. Genau das, was Mnuchin dem Iran im November vorgeworfen hat.

Warum in Chile 2.000 Polizisten die Prüfung zum Unizugang bewachen
Demnach wird es dem Militär künftig erlaubt sein, Infrastrukturobjekte im Land zu bewachen. Bislang war für den Einsatz des Militärs im Inneren die Verhängung des Notstandes notwendig.
CPI Rejects Any Imperialistic Steps by US Violating International Law
The CPI observed that “The true ‘Deal of the Century’ is a prime minister accused of corruption and a president under an impeachment trial attempting to save each other through a dangerous political maneuver that will set military rule over the Palestinian people in the occupied territories for generations.” The CPI reiterated its consistent and well-known position that “Only recognition of a Palestinian state, its people and its borders, and the end of the occupation is a long-overdue international obligation and a positive step towards peace. All states must now formally recognize a sustainable Palestinian state being established contiguous with the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, demanding the end of the settlements policy and a just resolution of the Palestinian refugee question.”
The Zionist Left Has Paved the Way to the Rise of the Extreme Right
“The disappearance of Labor and Meretz would mean the elimination of the only alternative on the left side of the political map,” writes my contemporary Uzi Baram (“Don’t be so quick to toss out the Zionist left,” Haaretz, January 20). And I ask him: Where were you and your friends during all those years when your camp held power in the country and paved the way for the extreme right that holds power today? They are only continuing the path you began, and doing so openly and also openly saying: “Truly the Lord has delivered all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us.” But you did and you lied, you did and you deceived.
Gantz Niftily Averts White House Hazing but Trump Plan Still on Course to Rescue Netanyahu
Deal of the century offers Israelis annexation right now and Palestinians a Bantustan in the far future
Annexation for Dummies: Making Sense of Netanyahu and Gantz‘s Declarations
“The moment Israel carries out annexation it destroys this alibi and admits it does not think the final status needs to be determined by negotiations, and that Israeli control of the Palestinian population is not temporary,” says Sfard. “It destroys its only defense against the claim it is establishing an apartheid regime.”
It is no coincidence that the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Fatou Bensouda, mentioned Netanyahu’s intentions for the Jordan Valley when she determined that, as far as the objectives of international criminal law are concerned, the authority of the ICC should be recognized. These statements, she said, “reflect concerns of a potential de jure annexation.”
Netanjahu lobt US-Plan für Nahost
Vor seiner Abreise zu einem Treffen mit US-Präsident Donald Trump sagte Netanjahu heute während einer Kabinettssitzung in Jerusalem: „Ich werde mich morgen mit meinem Freund Donald Trump treffen, der seinen Jahrhundertplan vorstellen wird. Ich glaube, dass es so eine Gelegenheit einmal in der Geschichte gibt, und wir dürfen sie nicht verpassen.“
Sanders bolsters frontrunner status a week before Iowa
Sanders separated himself from the pack in a New York Times-Siena Research poll of Iowa released over the weekend, one of the first to find a clear-cut leader in the Hawkeye State. And a WBUR survey of New Hampshire released this week found Sanders opening up a 12-point advantage over the next closest contender.

Iranian FM: Tehran still willing to negotiate with US
“For us, it doesn’t matter who is sitting in the White House, what matters is how they behave,” he said, according to Der Spiegel. “The Trump administration can correct its past, lift the sanctions and come back to the negotiating table. We’re still at the negotiating table. They’re the ones who left.”
Irans Außenminister Zarif: „Es ist ein Desaster für die Europäer, dass sie sich den USA so unterordnen“

German Defense Chief Warns Islamic State Could Resume ‘Terror’
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, speaking in an interview at the World Economic Forum on Thursday, said that Germany aims to keep its forces in Iraq, but can only do so at the behest of the government in Baghdad.
“We need to keep in mind that in Iraq, IS is not yet defeated,“ Kramp-Karrenbauer told Bloomberg Television in Davos, Switzerland. “If the pressure is reduced, then the danger is great that it resumes its regime of terror.”

American troops in Syria, like those in neighboring Iraq, shifted their focus from anti-extremist operations to force protection after a Jan. 3 strike in Baghdad killed Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s most influential military figure.

How is the Senate getting away with not voting on a privileged Iran war powers resolution introduced on January 3rd by @TimKaine and is @TimKaine planning to say anything about it?
Why neither side is really trying to win this Trump impeachment trial
Both sides seem to be striving for the constitutional equivalent of a hung jury, not enough votes for either a bipartisan acquittal or conviction, simply the status quo. What is different is that you usually do not actually hang the jury in a hung jury strategy.
