This is as damning as it gets. There's no coming back from this. They are guilty of everything that everyone knew they were doing. The football world cannot allow them to continue to participate in elite competition. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC
An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

'This shift in the US stance away from NATO’s global role and an international coalition to balance China suggests US interests may be diverging from those of NATO’s Asian and European partners' writes Dr Philip Shetler-Jones in the latest RUSI Commentary.

What's Left of NATO's Asia Engagement?
Shared interests among European and Asian middle powers, navigating a turbulent Sino-American unilateralism, sustain NATO's Asian partnerships.

This by Rheinmetall CEO is precisely the arrogance that will come to haunt 🇩🇪. It was arrogance vis-à-vis Chinese competitors that helped bring German carmakers in the ditch they are in. And it‘s this type of arrogance vis-à-vis lessons learned by Ukrainians that will cost us.

Short thread about Danish military planning for defending Greenland. ⬇️ Just an incredible thought that runways in Greenland are now prepared for demolition because of Trump.

Fifa is an enormous criminal enterprise which has unilaterally enclosed world football and now charges fees and accepts bribes to access it. Its main responsibility, the oversight and awarding of the World Cup, is a relatively small task that in no way justifies the number of staff it has or the billions of pounds the organisation extorts from sponsors, hosts and broadcasters. And, above all, Fifa is beyond reform. It needs to be abolished completely and replaced by a new world football body.

In 1973, Gough Whitlam responded to criticism about the price paid for Jackson Pollock’s abstract expressionist masterpiece “Blue Poles”, by joking it would at least help offset the US’s “adverse balance of payments” with Australia.
