Thousands in Germany will join traditional Easter peace marches this weekend — but the heyday of the peace movement seems long gone, as the government prepares to re-arm the country.Tens of thousands of people in Germany are expected to join around 120 peace protests across the country this weekend as Germany’s peace movement prepares for its traditional Easter peace marches — even as the presumptive next German government under likely-Chancellor Friedrich Merz is getting ready to spend billions on rearming the country and is seeking to boost the number of Bundeswehr recruits from the current 83,000 to 203,000 by 2031 with a voluntary program.

Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels. Grossi visits

Former Vice President Al Gore compared the Trump administration to Nazi Germany on Monday, saying the president and his advisors aim to “create their own preferred version of reality” in order to achieve their immoral goals. Gore made the comment at an event in San Francisco that was tied to a climate change initiative as the city is currently observing “Climate Week,” Politico reported. “It was [Jürgen] Habermas’ mentor, Theodor Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation’s descent into hell was, and I quote, ‘The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,’” Gore told the crowd of about 150 people. “He described how the Nazis, and I quote again, ‘Attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false,’ end quote. The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.” The harsh comparison came just a moment after Gore said he understands “very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement.” He
