Don't be gaslit: They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis. Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke. It is happening here.

Jeg håper jo at dette er tankevekker for Nikolai Tangen personlig at personlig relasjoner kan slå begge veier når man blander business og pleasure, og ikke kan selge seg ut av Tesla fordi det kan se ut til at han tar ting personlig rundt gitte invitasjoner. Det er pinlig og lite greit for Oljefondet

1. Distrust of Americans is spiraling across the world. This damage is permanent. Do ordinary Americans understand this? No one is going to place trust in a people that elected a criminal who enriches himself, extorts those in difficulties, tells lies to smear the heroic and kills the weakest.

This strikes me as potentially disastrous for American tech companies in Europe. You think Europe is gonna not implement its laws? It's maybe possible (though still unlikely) if we weren't simultaneously knifing NATO. But we are! Wrote about it here. www.csis.org/analysis/tra...

Russia has no interest in negotiating. Their aim is clear: destroy Ukraine. Europe can’t wait for Trump to meet Putin. We have the collective power to tip Russia’s economy off a cliff. Embargo Russian energy, crack down on sanctions dodging, & give 🇺🇦 seized RU assets in the EU.

For young Europeans, the Trump situation can feel hopeless. The feeling of impotence on this continent is strong. But they can correct the mistakes of their parents by embracing European sovereignty. It's not too late. My thoughts on what is needed:

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Dette her er rett og slett ikke greit. Trump rensker ut alt som er av kvinner og ikke-hvite menn i FBI,CIA og nå forsvarssjefen. Også lar de Hegseth definere hva Woke er i saken?!? Og for å toppe alt så har NRK radio latt Danby Choi definere og forklare Woke i 21 minutter? Fy faen....

Here is the current status of Starlink competitors No satellite service comes even close to Starlinks capabilities and capacity and that wont change for years (and one of those that might become competitive, Amazon Kuiper, would also be a US system).

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks. I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Maybe it's time for Europeans to call Trump's bluff. If 🇺🇸 says they no longer want to occupy their bases in Europe, then we should invite them to leave. But then I wonder how the US would stage its Middle East wars? 🤔

I hope everybody understands that this would never have happened under Yanukovych, or some of the other previous Ukrainian administrations. Somebody in the party of the president would only be let go if the president agreed to it, most often initiated it because they wanted to get rid of somebody.

This is for the Norwegian debate, but I'll say it in English: I think we need to accelerate and expand the Defense Pledge, with focus on the near term. This won't be easy, the plan is already ambitious and personnel- and defense industrial constraints are very real, but the times require it.
