There has indeed been an explosion at the Parchin military complex today. I haven’t heard anything about gunshots, and it’s unclear what actually happened.
I’m obviously not taking Mehr's statements as a reliable source of information.

More explosion and gunfire sounds have been reported, this time from Pārčīn south of Tehrān; Regime outlet Mehr News Agency is saying that they’re related to “routine practices”.
I have no idea what to make of these.

Australia has something that Europe really wants. The metals and uranium that can be mined in the Australian outback. So Europe is willing to offer much to Australians in a trade deal.
Wow. How does Canada sign up for that?

Shouldn't surprise anyone that the number one thing the Australians want from an E.U trade deal is access to European market for Australian farmers.

Barely noticed by anyone, the agreement the E.U is currently negotiating with Australia would grant Australian citizens the right to live and work in Europe without a visa possibly for up to 4 years. That's quite substantial for a non-European country.

Dominik Tatarka was a Slovak anti-communist dissident in Czechoslovakia. He wrote how one of the most important things in creating a totalitarian regime was "the demon of consent". To get people to loudly and proudly proclaim their approval of horrible things being done in their name.

Support of NATO and support of a strong U.S-European alliance is a pillar of Dutch conservatism. So I am not surprised that they are the least willing to abandon it.

Weird statement by Rutte. First, it is obviously wrong. Given time and the necessary investments, Europe can of course defend itself without U.S.
And second: Why undermine European deterrence like that? This message increases the risk that Putin will try to exploit the current fracture in NATO.

Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns
The EU should stop dreaming of creating a European pillar for NATO and continue to build ties with the U.S. despite Trump, the alliance secretary-general said.

Am I imagining this or are there more videos of Russian soldiers torturing Russian soldiers who tried to abandon their posts or got drunk, than ever before?
Almost every day now, there is a video of 2-4 Russian soldiers getting tied naked to a tree and being beaten by other Russian soldiers.

Just stop and think about this for a moment. A double strike. After the first attack, rescuers arrive to save people — firefighters, medics, volunteers. And then russia strikes again, targeting them.
This is a deliberate, cynical war crime.

I wish there was an English translation of this book. It describes how the communists infiltrated the Czech social democrats with false promises of alliance, devoured them from within and put them on show trials. Timely reading. Not just for libs, but also for never-Trump republicans.
