New data on recent Russian disinformation campaigns: Ukrainian long-range weapons are being presented as Western-made in order to blame NATO for involvement in the war.

Trump's "ENERGY CEASEFIRE" to which supposedly "both parties have agreed" was 1. unknown to Ukraine 2. lasted 2 hours until Russia hit a Ukrainian energy site Is Trump imagining things? Did people erroneously tell him a ceasefire was agreed? Is he lying intentionally? All options are bad.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

But...why do you assume any responses (past, present and future) would somehow be detailed, attributed and accompanied with an EU press release with, say, looping drone videos of something blowing up in a spectacular manner?

Kremlin may think what they want, but won't Russia behaving like an even greater arsehole of a neighbour make people of Europe simply want to support Ukraine more...? If Ukraine falls, the sabotage and hybrid ops will just increase, not go away. So better make sure Ukraine wins.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

I have a feeling that we will get there and most of the things you suggest are actually not so far away. A lot rides on how China approaches the problems they have created. If all they can contribute is yet another "blah blah protectionism" sermon, then it will be a rougher ride.

The Chinese weaponization of exports needs fixing in any case. Otherwise any "responsibility taking", or renaissance of thinking within the German auto industry, or modernizations in another sector, will be moot, as you can't win a card game with a deck stacked against you.

Generic Eccentric @genericeccentric.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I'm unsure what concrete things you wish the EU would do here. China weaponizing their export trade is a bigger and more systemic issue than the German auto industry problems (which are due to lack of strategic vision, penny pinching mentality and clinging to the past).

Generic Eccentric @genericeccentric.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Do you mean EU should not respond to Chinese trade weaponization in any way, lest they somehow become hypocrites?

And what does the US expect to gain by presenting thenselves as an more and more unreliable partner? Doing A today, not doing A tomorrow, maybe. Who knows. How to plan for that? How to reduce the risk? The most obvious way is to not engage at all. Is that what the US wants - isolation?

Unfortunately this kind of rug pull has become a repeating theme. As it is impossible to 100% rely on the US co-operation to deliver what they promise, one must build in contingencies for the US provided things, essentially duplicating those. And then what is the point of co-operation at all?

Also, flights from Irkutsk seem to work as usual, to China (incl. Beijing), Vietnam, and elsewhere into Russia, and so on. So if something is going on, they are acting very, very stupid. But if nothing is going on, what's the deal with the reported hospital quarantines and NBC suits then 🤔

I don't know what that really is, but that small collapse near the big rock looks familiar. Winter-frozen ground thaws, water flows again and the rocks move about and a hole collapses. So I had it explained to me when I was a kid, but mind you, the explainers were not geologists.

This is indeed a clumsy attempt at divide-and-conquer. The "future" of NATO without France, the Baltic countries or UK is a very strange attempt at "manifesting" rubbish into existence (yet again). Looks like: Baltics: sacrificial cows. UK+FR: don't look at their nukes, let us provide. Sigh 🙄

Trump wants to ban diesel exports, which will hurt Europe, since it imports from USA. And now USA wants European diesel to help Trump in the midterms by letting him lower the diesel prices. Benefits to Europe are unclear. Agreements holding at all uncertain with Trump. A deal would be very dumb.

Perhaps another diplomat praised them for getting aligned to avoid overlaps and double work and to gain synergies in sequencing. There seems to be a nudge wink push to get Europe to go fully kinetic while Russia plays with its "annoying shit neighbour" knob. Better to be smart about it.
