Germany’s Merz Expects 80% Of Syrians To Return Home Within 3 Years

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) met with controversial former Al Qaeda  head-chopper Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former (?) jihadi terrorist, in Berlin on Monday afternoon.

Merz may claim he wants Syrians to return home but hundreds of thousands of Syrians will be naturalized within three years…

Among the topics discussed, one of the most prominent was the fact that Merz wants 80 percent of the Syrians currently living in Germany to return home.

“In the longer perspective of the next three years, it is the wish of President al-Sharaa that around 80 percent of the Syrians in Germany should go back into their homeland,” said Merz, before adding: “We need a reliable repatriation option, cooperation with Syria.”

Merz said he supported that, saying many of them “are needed at home.”

The chancellor also made clear that protection statuses would be reassessed.

“Those who have no claim will leave Germany again,” he said — particularly those who “abuse our hospitality.” He balanced this with an acknowledgment that “we are pleased about the many Syrian skilled workers who have integrated.”

Merz reflected on how, roughly a year ago, the dictatorship in Syria “was shaken off,” and reaffirmed that Germany had always stood by the Syrian people, despite the new government being accused of a number of atrocities against minorities, including Christians and Druze.

Merz described reconstruction as an “enormous effort,” stressing that stability and economic performance would be essential for it to succeed. A German delegation is set to travel to Syria “in a few days” to advance cooperation on that front.

Geert Wilders has the same problems in Holland:

The Syrian head of state opened by expressing his “deep gratitude” to Germany, declaring that “Syria is an important country for Europe” and that the country could “come back stronger,” adding: “We want to rebuild our country.”

He noted that 1.3 million Syrians currently live in Germany, including 6,000 doctors who could make a significant contribution to Syria’s recovering economy.

Now let’s take a closer look at these doctors: Continue reading Syrian Blackmail

How are NATO allies pushing back against Trump’s Iran war demands?

Trump says he is considering a NATO exit as allies resist cooperation in US-Israel war on Iran. Here are the fractures emerging within the alliance.

“I always knew they were a paper tiger,” Trump lashed out in an interview published on Wednesday in The Telegraph newspaper, saying he was strongly considering pulling out of NATO.

The same sense of disdain towards the allies was echoed a day earlier by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who told Al Jazeera that if the transatlantic alliance was “just about defending Europe” but not the other way around, that’s “not a very good arrangement”. That, Rubio said, is going “to have to be re-examined”.

The Eunuch’s are insolent:

“This is not our war. We have ⁠not started it.” Continue reading Trump “strongly considering pulling out of NATO”

Hungary didn’t just ‘remove’ the EU flag… they threw that symbol of Brussels BETRAYAL straight out of Parliament

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary has repeatedly stressed that migration is not a complex puzzle that needs compromise, but a simple legal issue: those who enter unlawfully should not be allowed into the country and must be denied legal status if they do. Orbán has insisted that “there is a simple rule: you have to be able to protect your own borders,” and that Hungary’s experience — with only a handful of asylum applications accepted when strict enforcement is in place — proves that firm border control works if political will exists.

You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated.

Spain closes airspace to US planes involved in war on Iran

WHITE HOUSE TELLS SPAIN: U.S. MILITARY ‘DOES NOT NEED YOUR HELP’

The announcement comes after Madrid refused to let Washington use jointly operated military bases for the US-Israel war on Iran.

US President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid after the Spanish government denied the US use of the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain, forcing 15 US aircraft to relocate.

Spain has also been a vocal critic of Israel’s  war on Gaza. In October, its parliament approved the enshrinement in law of a total arms embargo on Israel, permanently banning the sale of weapons, dual-use technology and military equipment.

Some action in Judea & Samaria:

This is from Al Jazeera, so the language is about “settlers” & “occupied”.

  • Israeli forces stormed schools run by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in the Shuafat refugee camp, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem.
  • Israeli forces arrested a 24-year-old student during a raid on his home in Kafr al-Dik, west of Salfit.
  • Dozens of Israeli settlers set up mobile homes on Palestinian-owned land in the village of Birin, southeast of Hebron, to expand the illegal outpost of Mitzpe Ziv.
  • The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound remains closed after it was shut to Muslim worshippers in late February. Israeli authorities extended the state of emergency until mid-April.
  • The Israeli parliament approved the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners accused of killing Israelis.

For more on what has happened in Palestinian territory this week, here is a recap.

Speaker Ghalibaf claims Iran is winning the war; ‘Death to America,’ ‘Death to Israel’

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is best known to be the cheerleader for “death to America, death to Israel” in Iran

President Donald Trump said on Monday that his administration is negotiating with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, who he said was part of “a new, and more reasonable, regime.”

Trump said he expected to “find out in about a week” whether Ghalibaf is a suitable partner for extended negotiations.

Ghalibaf has rejected ceasefire terms, declaring Iran would continue fighting “until the enemy truly regrets its aggression.”

Ghalibaf did not sound particularly reasonable on Sunday, as he accused the U.S. of insincerely talking about a ceasefire even as it plans for a ground invasion of Iran.

“Our men are waiting for the arrival of American soldiers on the ground to set them on fire and to punish their regional partners forever,” the Iranian parliamentary speaker said.

“Our strikes continue. Our missiles are active. Our determination and faith have increased. We are aware of the enemy’s weaknesses and clearly see the signs of fear and terror in the enemy’s forces,” he said.

“America is stating its wishes and announcing what it has not achieved in the war as a 15-point list and is now pursuing it through diplomacy,” he said, dismissing the rumored U.S. ceasefire plan.

“As long as Americans seek the surrender of Iran, the answer of your children to these American wishes is clear: Never will we accept humiliation,” he told the Iranian people in a televised address.

Back in February, Speaker Ghalibaf said the Islamic Republic now considers all European Union militaries to be terrorist groups.

Brussels announced  that the European Union would designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist group over its deadly crackdown on nationwide protests.

Iran: Speaker Ghalibaf Still Alive; Hegseth vows ‘most intense day’ of US strikes against Iran…

An Iranian official has told Al Jazeera Arabic that no ship can sail through the Strait of Hormuz without an agreement with Iran and a thorough review of its documents.

“No ship carrying cargo for a hostile country has crossed the Strait of Hormuz so far, and none will cross it in the future,” the official added.

  • Iranian state media says a US-Israeli attack has targeted a petrochemical plant in Tabriz, while Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the United States is plotting a ground attack despite publicly engaging in diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war.
  • UNIFIL says a peacekeeper has been killed in an attack on a southern Lebanon position.

Correction:

NO, Speaker Ghalibaf has not been eliminated, at least not yet. 

That doesn’t mean he’s got an extra lease on life.

The US or the IDF may take him out at any time of their choosing.

Iran’s Ghalibaf warns country’s enemies will regret aggression against Iran

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warns that the nation’s enemies are presenting their “desires” as news while simultaneously issuing threats against the country.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has declared that the United States is “winning” in the fight against Iran, but he declined to provide a timeline as to when the war would end, stressing that decision lies with President Donald Trump.

“We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated,” Hegseth said.

“We do so on our timeline and at our choosing. For example, today will be yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran – the most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.”

Pentagon readies ‘for weeks of US ground operations’ in Iran

The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, The Washington Post reported.

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of limited ground operations in Iran, potentially including raids on Kharg Island and coastal sites near the Strait of Hormuz, according to United States officials quoted by The Washington Post newspaper.

The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, the Post reported on Saturday, exposing US personnel to Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosives.

Whether President Donald Trump would approve any of those plans remains uncertain, according to the report.

“It’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality. It does not mean the president has made a decision,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, responding to questions over the Post report.

Iran’s Araghchi tells Saudi Arabia: ‘Time to eject US forces’

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says his country respects Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation, emphasising that regional operations are directed solely at “enemy aggressors”.

The Arabs don’t trust the Shia rafida, for good reason.

They prefer the Americans, as we can see.

Iran: children to sweep the minefields, again….?

Iran Shows a Clear Sign of Desperation

Iranian child soldiers marching off to fight Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War.

During the Iran-Iraq War, Iranian authorities sent young boys to clear minefields, promising them that a plastic key they received would grant them access to paradise if they died in battle. This practice involved using children as soldiers, often with little military training, and has been widely reported, though the existence of the keys is debated

The Islamic Republic of Iran has lowered the minimum age to 12 for participation in war-related activities. No, it’s not that boys and girls will be sent off to fight. Instead, children as young as 12 will now be used to help man checkpoints, to go on patrols (presumably to watch out for saboteurs, or for signs of discontent and defeatism among the population), and to help with logistics. The Iranian state needs all the help it can get — even from its children. More on this sign of desperation can be found here: “Iran Lowers Minimum Age for War Roles to 12, Sparking Outcry Over Child Soldier Use,” by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, March 26, 2026:

The Iranian regime has lowered the minimum age for participation in war-related activities to just 12 years old, a move that will likely fuel the concerns of human rights groups, which have condemned Iran’s treatment of children.

In a televised interview with state media, Rahim Nadali, a cultural with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, announced that the new initiative “For Iran” is recruiting participants to assist with patrols, checkpoints, and logistics.

“Since children are increasingly volunteering to take part, we have lowered the minimum age to 12,” Nadali said, urging young children to join the war effort if they wish.

USA: Communist Malcontents Stage Violent ‘No Kings’ Protests

Rich Leftists Stage Ugly No Kings Astroturfery

.

The ultra-left threw another tantrum yesterday, with thousands of No Kings spectacles staged throughout the country. Unsurprisingly, given that the appeal is to lowlifes, some turned violent.

The New York Post reports:

No Kings demonstrations in Portland, Oregon got out of hand in the evening with protesters sporting gas masks attacking police officers who were trying to control the crowd, according to video posted on X by FreedomNews.tv.

The video:

Elsewhere on the Left Coast,

A large mob of demonstrators waving Palestinian and other flags hurled cement blocks towards Department of Homeland Security agents in Los Angeles. … Protesters violently resisted arrests from LAPD cops…

As a recent election indicates, not even Trump’s home is safe from societal decay:

Outside Mar-A-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla., female protesters lifted up their shirts Saturday as counterdemonstrators peppered them with insults including “w–re mongers” and “butch d–es.”

The nursing homes were empty. So who provided the signs & transportation?

They aren’t hiding the ball anymore:

A group of demonstrators waving red hammer and sickle flags chanted “there is only one solution communist revolution” outside Times Square.

Although there is no shortage of unhinged moonbats bred by the Democrat-dominated media and education establishments, No Kings productions are pure astroturf. Fox News reports:

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation.
