I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

To, zda Kurachove padlo dnes, nebo se tak stane za pár dní, je vedlejší (reálně byla většina města opravdu dobytá, hrálo se o symbolický západní kraj města). Podstatné je, ž se Rusko blíží k velkým nalezištím lithia. A ta už neubráníme. Možnost je ubránit jsme jako Západ vědomě vzdali.
