Absorbée 🤗

My first post in collaboration with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is out ! I wrote about some concerning new developments that may indicate that Russia is feeling confident enough in Trump’s ability to force a bad deal on Ukraine so that the Kremlin is starting to prepare for more.

Excellent piece on Greenland

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

Kudos to @phillipspobrien.bsky.social for having written this on 2 September, 2023: ”What leaders in Europe have to face, as a pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine position solidifies in the Republican Party, is the prospect of having to do most of the heavy lifting to help Ukraine win the war.”

They are playing Russian roulette with the FAA. This comes after the Southwest flight in Chicago yesterday. There are so many incidents in the past month, I lose track! It’s unheard of and crickets from the administration

Former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin says Europe's response to Ukraine has fallen short.

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
