“Russia experts” like Mark Galeotti hailed all this when pushing back against “hostile foreign commentators” who saw Russia as a threat[...] Alas, all this proved insufficient to end Russia’s centuries-long tradition of brutally invading its neighbours." www.baltictakes.com/golden-arche...
baltictakes.com
‘Golden arches theory’ was meant to predict peace. It encouraged war
The West thought economic integration restrained aggression, while Russia thought it restrained any response to its aggression. Only the willingness to defend rules actually matters.

We love this from our Vice President Shaparak Khorsandi, author of Scatter Brain, Kissing Emma, Nina Is Not OK and A Beginner's Guide to Acting English. #HumanistBookshelf
‘The humanist perspective is a profound and inspiring one – and it’s not just a modern perspective. Through the centuries and all around the world, people have looked to reason and to science in place of superstition and sought to make the most out of the one life they have. It’s crucial that this voice is heard.’ Shaparak Khorsandi

"These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence." –@michaeldweiss.bsky.social
Screenshot of a quote-tweet by @michaeldweiss dated 27 Sep 2026. The original tweet is from "Sigal Chattah" (@Chattah4Nevada), and reads "Love is in the air [two heart emojis] Congrats [champagne emoji] to our amazing @AlinaHabba & @turhanmildoin [three emojis showing the Hamsa, a blue hand with an eye in it]." That text appears above a picture showing Kash Patel, Alina Habba, and others at a wedding ceremony. In his quote-tweet, Michael Weiss writes: "Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence."

Trump: "I spoke to Zelenskyy, I said, 'You got to take it easy on the refineries as much as you can.' Because we're causing a world problem." First of all, the right thing to do is demanding that Russia end its invasion, rather than asking Ukraine to stop defending itself.
