Very interesting point @peterfrankopan.bsky.social makes in his splendid 4-part podcast "Legacy" on Gorbachev: the nuclear détente Reagan and Gorbachev started in 1985/86 made people see a point in engaging in protecting the world and nature, making environmental and climate policy possible.

Just curious: at what point do former presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden... And former secretaries and officials (Mattis, Sullivan, Petraeus, Blinken and others) start speaking out forcefully and collectively about the destruction of the transatlantic alliance?

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Any remaining arguments against the rearmament of Europe just evaporated in front of the eyes of every single European head of state this evening.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming

Thoughts are with the Ukrainian people who have endured and endured and who deserve so much better than Trump and Vance.

In EU, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands could be most affected by US-EU trade war • For these economies, the US is both major source of imports and large export market • EU retaliatory tariffs on the US would only fuel domestic inflation, adding insult to injury for Europeans

Isn't this a rather a fairly lifelike depiction of the 5th Congress of the Cheltenham Trotskyst Union in March or April 1936?

What he is saying here, and they already doing in ways big and small, is spend money Congress has not appropriated. Not refusing to spend money as directed, bad as that is, but spend without authorization. Which is, in plainer terms and by absolute constitutional command, stealing from the treasury.

Ein Detail, aber vielleicht ein nützliches, um den deutsch-französischen Motor wieder anzuwerfen: Friedrich Merz wird, wenn mich die Erinnerung nicht trügt, der erste deutsche Bundeskanzler seit Helmut Schmidt sein, der Französisch spricht.
