Merz musing about eliminating the secret ballot. Normal "democracy" moment in Europe nitter.cf/clashreport/status/210…

Germany’s Chancellor Merz:
In the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, voters gave the AfD and the BSW, two authoritarian and extremist parties, a combined absolute majority for the first time.
It was a secret ballot. We do not know who exactly gave their votes to the AfD candidate.
How and whether this secret ballot can ever be clarified remains to be seen.
But for me, one thing is clear: Anyone who votes for a member of a far-right extremist party to become president of the state parliament must reconcile that with their conscience.

Oil is flowing through Hormuz, and prices are $100/barrel.
That’s not a contradiction.
Oil is moving *because* prices are $100/barrel.
That’s the risk premium necessary for crews to risk their lives and insurers to underwrite it.
$100/barrel also makes land routes through Syria economical.
Without US naval assistance, the market clearing prices for oil would be even higher.
But is it really a US victory for prewar oil flows to resume at $100/barrel instead of the $60-70/barrel we had before the Iran War?
Especially when we have to devote 30% of deployed USN vessels to achieve $100/barrel oil?

How insulting to your own country.
If the American or English or French patriot can achieve just one tenth of what has been achieved, built, celebrated, and defended in Israel, I would submit that the future of the West will be the brighter for it."

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

Starting to feel like we're finally getting this Middle East situation under control.

>I'm announcing Project Meridian, an effort led by America's best minds to study the future of warfare. It will be co-led by three of our nations best minds: Elon Musk, Palmer Lucky, and Newt Gingrich.
>We are announcing the creation of Autonomous Warfare Command, or AUTOWARCOMM. A new 4-star combatant command built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the joint force.
>We are launching Fortress America, a national insurance policy for the American homeland. Now FORTRESS stands for Federal Operations for Resilience Troop Resources...Energy... Supply and Survivability. Here's what FORTRESS calls for: Every major military installation in America is going to generate its own power independent from the civilian grid.

This unflinching and witty exchange is a model for how the Right needs to navigate its disagreements on America's role in the world -- and yes, its generation gap.
A pleasure to moderate this conversation between @hughhewitt and @JustinTLogan:
