Anthony Rodin @greatpowerclimate.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It says a lot about our current times of polycrisis that confirmation of our NATO allies in Europe and Russia being engaged in a hybrid conflict, just feels like another day instead of earth shattering news. Though to be fair, it is incredibly worrying.  010
