The paradox for U.S. President Donald Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, is the more they squeeze Ukrainian leader Volodomyr Zelenskyy, the more Ukrainians rally to their president’s side.

Flow wins Best Animated Feature Film at the #Oscars This is the first Latvian film to win an Oscar.

To leave out 3 of 6 NATO allies bordering as well as being bullied by Russia, smacks of Dean Acheson in 1950 leaving out South Korea from the list of countries the US would defend. Saying, "But they're getting a phone call from Starmer" DOES NOT cut it. They're still left out of the discussion.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

'The parallels between Elon Musk and Doctor Strangelove are striking'

Sen nebiju tā smējies, līdz asarām 😂 Tik absurda situācija.

the united states no longer condemns russia’s invasion of ukraine. aligning the us with belarus, sudan, north korea and other failed states. a reflection of changing policy and a wake up call for us allies.

The evolution of Russia's full-scale war: a conversation with Rob Lee youtu.be/7O5CeEfuPgY

The Kremlin’s full-scale war against Ukraine has come at an enormous cost to Russian society. Meduza and Mediazona can now reveal that an estimated 160,000–165,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since February 2022.

"The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries Monday on a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for its occupied territory to be returned" www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Friedrich Merz did not even wait for the final results in Germany's election before delivering what could well be a defining verdict on US President Donald Trump, consigning Europe's 80-year alliance with the Americans to the past.

Rather amazing to see how Trump's actions have affected the US's biggest supporters in the past. Merz is no schlub like Scholz, who has been anti-American since the 1980s

Leģions “Krievijas brīvība” Ukrainas frontē nes nāvi ikvienam, kurš cīnās Krievijas armijas rindās. Krievi pret krieviem. Taču šie karotāji savus tautiešus par tautiešiem nesauc. Tie ir atkritumi, kas jāiznīcina. Raidījums #Aculiecinieks skatāms šeit: youtu.be/Y9ICYyGShtE

Former Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins gives a Baltic perspective on the U.S. policy shift on Ukraine.

Dear Europe: Stop freaking out over the Trump team and start learning their language. Your current response just plays into Trump and Putin’s hands.

Ok lol so all we need to do is give forceful backlash and this amateur will walk back ? Good

We get to kill Russians, test new warfighting technologies, kill Russians, divest ourselves of expiring munitions, kill Russians, gather invaluable weapons and technical intelligence from captured systems, kill Russians, protect the eastern flank of NATO and kill Russians.

⚡️ Zelenskyy says Tucker Carlson needs to understand more deeply what’s happening in Ukraine to stop working for Putin and “stop licking his ass.”

The only way I can explain the current strategy of the Trump administration is that they're all Schmittians, but the only thing they've ever read is Carl Schmitt's Wikipedia page.

Seems that inmates are running the asylum in the United States.

Currently listening to

The EU’s collective silence on Big Tech’s increasingly brazen interference in Europe’s sovereign affairs — from Elon Musk’s aggressive promotion of the German far-right on X to Mark Zuckerberg urging Trump to protect Meta from European “censorship” — speaks volumes. https://euobserver.com/eu-and-th…

Nothing says American soft power like exporting January 6th to our allies. They even stole our bit about smashing through windows with riot shields.

Ārkārtīgi demoralizējoši. Šie cilvēki arī sēžas pie stūres, tāpēc uz ceļiem notiekošais nav pārsteigums. Viņi arī balso vēlēšanās un audzina bērnus, lai viņi būtu tādi paši. Kā pacelt Latvijas IQ?

Just days before he transfers power to Donald Trump, the outgoing US president warned of the risks to democracy as he blasted an emerging 'tech industrial complex'. www.ft.com/content/262f...

At his press conference today, Trump clarified that by America First, he does not mean isolationism but imperialism, threatening US friends, while being cowardly or perhaps even friendly toward US enemies: Russia, China, Iran & North Korea. He wants an authoritarian kleptocracy.

The thought of getting a PhD is appealing to me if there was a way to do it without taking courses, interacting with the university in any capacity, having bureaucratic requirements, or having to write a thesis. I should just be able to get drinks with friends and talk about books as a job.
