In retrospect, the Russians really screwed over the Iranians. The Russians got drone and missile factories, the Iranians got absolutely nothing in return except that Europe now also hates them and doesn't want to negotiate with them.

It's possible this is the perspective in some capitals, but where I am, the commitment to higher defense spending is not about pleasing Trump. It's a realization that Europe needs rapid rearmament to replace the US in European security.

OTD in 1996, as per the Budapest memo guaranteeing their territorial integrity, Ukraine handed their final nuclear warhead to Russia. They also gave heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war

I denne ukas skog av «vi må tørre å debattere det vi er uenige om»-kronikker treffer Frithjof Jacobsen bra her. Både pressen og den offentlige samtalen er for dårlig forberedt på systematisk bruk av desinformasjon som destabiliserende metode. Det er ikke modig å slippe til løgn, det er naivt.

Hele poenget med kjernekraft er å avkarbonisere industri vi fortsatt skal ha, uten å rasere store naturområder. Det er ikke nødvendigvis billig, men verdt det. At FrP er så for kjernekraft når de driter i å kutte klimagassutslipp gir lite mening. Da fremstår det mest som avledning og symbolpolitikk

Jeg savner det NRK som ikke oppførte seg som en tabloidavis og nyttig idiot for antidemokratiske krefter, men primært fikk kjeft for å ha for mange smale programmer om litt sære ting.

I useful reminder, when folks insist without any evidence that the 'neo-liberal' world order has obviously failed or whatever, that this is the global poverty trend graph since 1820: I suppose you can argue these trends are unrelated but it's hard to argue liberalism ruined everything.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

This is so incredibly frustrating. European allies should not be jumping over every stick Trump holds for them because the stick is just gonna move. We need to focus on capability development, not % of GDP.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

Ich halte diese Recherche auch deshalb für so wichtig, weil es heißt, dass die Ukraine Gebiete an 🇷🇺 abtreten muss. Das Schicksal und die Leiden, die Wiktoria Roschina erlitten hat, zeigen, was es bedeutet, unter russischer Besatzung zu leben. Denn sie ist kein Einzelfall. Die Folter hat System.

This is all very reasonable though unfair to Chamberlain who, mistaken though he was, tried to appease —before— a war. Trump is siding with a fascist aggressor after three years of war. kyivindependent.com/european-for...

Guys. He is a former high-ranking British official criticising the US government on a matter of security. What he means by "puzzling“ is "completely mad, incomprehensible, weirdly pro-Russian and potentially profoundly damaging to the US as well as Ukraine“.

Det er fort gjort å snakke om muligheten for «tidenes første afrikansk paven» og «tidenes første asiatisk pave», men det har vært paver fra Afrika så nylig som rett før år 500, og asiatiske har det vært mange av, så sent som midt på 700-tallet. I tillegg var jo den første paven, Sankt Peter, asiat.
