If we multiply Zero (0) with Infinity (∞), then we can't determine the result. This is one of the 7 indeterminate forms in mathematics. I think this can be expressed philosophically as "When an Immovable Object meets an Unstoppable Force, the result is Cannot be Determined."

De la nuit au matin : Louis Sullivan et la promesse émancipatrice de la démocratie

Après la longue nuit de la répression, Louis #Sullivan (1902) imagine l’aube d’une ère nouvelle où la tradition cède la place à la #création, où la #répression s’efface devant la #liberté, et où l’#humanitarisme surpasse l’#égoïsme. L’individu, animé par une #force profonde de la #nature, devient enfin #libre de penser, de sentir et d’agir — ouvrant la voie à une #évolution démocratique…

BBC: UK, France and Germany urge Iran not take further action in joint statement

The UK, France and Germany have called on Iran not to take any further action that could "destabilise" the Middle East.

In a joint statement, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz say they have been "consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon" and they support the security of Israel.

The leaders urge Iran to "engage in negotiations" to secure an agreement that "addresses all concerns associated with its nuclear programme".

"We stand ready to contribute to that goal in coordination with all parties," they say.

…The #military parade was overseen by the American commander-in-chief as he conducts a militarized crackdown on #immigrants in #LosAngeles, #California, driving #protests. He sent in #NationalGuard troops & #Marines not because their presence is necessary to keep the peace, but as a show of #force - & as a test run for operations in other #states & #cities, should #Trump feel angry enough to launch them, likely #illegally.

#Trump’s order did not specify any standards for when #troops would be able use #force — like arresting people or shooting them—if his admin deemed a #protest to threaten #federal personnel, property or functions.

Notably, #PeteHegseth has railed against #military lawyers who promoted what he saw as unduly restrictive rules of engagement aimed at protecting #civilians in war zones. He has fired the top judge advocate general (#JAG) lawyers who give advice on legal constraints.

#force : hence, a body of land or naval combatants, with their appurtenances, ready for action

Fourteen days restraining order. Deputy Assistant Attorney General argues that the emergency is plaintiff's creation, & that the court has no jurisdiction. So we'll soon be able to add this as 3) CA federal judge: "Stop it." & they defy another court.

#Trump, who during his first admin floated the idea of acquiring #Greenland, has pressed even harder since taking office in January [he’s obsessed], refusing to rule out taking the island by #force. #Denmark, which governs the island, has sharply rebuffed the idea.

A #COFA agreement would stop short of Trump's ambition to make the island of 57k people a part of the US. It is not the only plan on the table, sources said, & it would face many practical hurdles. [like, they’re not interested]
