Bring me books, coffee, code and a multitude of games. I’d add women, but there can only be one. Also wine.

ICYMI: UPPDATERAS: 57% och stigande förtroende för Zelenskyj – Trumps sändebud är i Kyjiv – Storbritannien redo skicka eget stridsflyg till Ukraina – mycket svåra bakre ryska förluster – ukrainska framgångar på södra fronten – terrorbombning mot Odesa gör 250 000 strömlösa: Det ukrainska folkets…

I’m not at all surprised Mike Pence criticized Trump - with nothing but facts. Mr Pence is a man of integrity and the reason why things went pretty smoothly during Trumps previous term. Of course reason is out the window now, together with Pence.

Dark Pence is back.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

In this 131st long-read on my strategy blog, I wonder if we are not witnessing the end of transatlanticism. I'm afraid that we will have to face this new, potentially lasting reality without illusions. A vital challenge for Europe that begins in Ukraine. tenzerstrategics.substack.com/p/reassessin...

Excellent meeting with @melaniejoly.bsky.social today. The EU-Canada partnership is strong, dynamic, and built to last. Together, we discussed ways to boost our support to Ukraine, increase pressure on Russia, as well as opportunities to strengthen our security and defence cooperation.

Trump vill få en snabb deal med Putin som Europa hålls utanför men förväntas ändå genomföra stora delarna av. Det känns som någon vill skifta skulden till Europa. tt.omni.se/krigsvetare-...

Zelensky's speech at the Munich Security Conference ended with prolonged applause!

Intelligence agencies predict an attack on NATO within a few years, if we can’t match our defensive capabilities with the threat. It’s a story as old as mankind. Weakness is an open invitation to war. Let’s not be weak. Let’s not invite evil to our doorstep.

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose.

I veckan publicerade danska militära underrättelsetjänsten vad som i normala fall hade briserat som en bomb. Nu lever vi dock inte i normala tider, så nyheten fick snarare karaktären av ett tomtebloss. Ny kolumn i DN om en uppdaterad hotbedömning. www.dn.se/ledare/oscar...

En replik som ekar än.

Well, at least it’s still winter and the birds won’t start singing outside my window soon. In the land of Mordor no birds sing.

Man skulle kunna sova nu. Man skulle också kunna spela vidare i Final Fantasy Remastered. Förr eller senare kommer det första alternativet ändå att bli verklighet 😵‍💫

Tiktokaren ”Chef Bassam” dog i terrorattacken i Örebro. Han var älskad. Och far till två barn som nu är ensamma i Sverige. Sitt sista inlägg gjorde han på väg till SFI-lektionen, med en kaffe i handen

Svaren i SVT visar att Bohlin är farligt naiv. Han går själv i precis den fälla som han ska skydda svenskar från. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Jag lämnade precis in min första motion! Ännu ett sätt att undvika riktig motion.

Europe needs a surge in defence. For years, we have underinvested in defence. We need to catch up. And strengthen our defence industrial base. Read my statement here → europa.eu/!Vw3d69

We are in the era of hyper-competitive and hyper-transactional geopolitics. in this hot-headed world, Europe’s best approach is to remain level-headed. And build a foreign policy that stays true to who we are and deliver for our people and partners. Read my full speech here → europa.eu/!C7FvF7

@greatpretender.bsky.social So… blame Canada, huh?

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there
