“Oleg L. was recognized as a GRU operative already when he entered Germany at Berlin airport on a flight from Turkey, but was then not put under surveillance…” - endless scream of despair.

Good intentions, bad outcomes: the new EU Packaging Regulation. It hinders intra-EU e-commerce by small shops, while it does little to stop the flood of Chinese products. Why? The actual implementation and processes are national - SMEs need to register and license in each country separately.

Hope is not a strategy - and good strategy is based on causality.

Beyond the strategic and the operational, I really hope Ukrainians are preparing for the winter by decentralizing heating infrastructure.

“The product was developed by two Russian co-founders who remain involved in an opaque UAE-based firm that has been supplying the European company...” Why do we in the EU suck so much at securing our future and safety? We shouldn’t even let Russians develop software for our kitchen appliances…

It is indeed. “Europe is an identity and process and an ambition.” I am an EU citizen, an Austrian, a resident of Luxembourg - and a more federal and integrated EU cannot come soon enough.

Under Trump and Vance not even California might be the red line. The only chance for Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan, the Philippines and any other Pacific democracies is to arm themselves with ☢️ and all types of drones to their teeth.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Were there peace negotiations with Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan? Aren’t we sending the wrong signal to the world’s autocrats? We should arm Ukraine to the teeth to ensure Russia is decisively beaten.

For the better part of the last decade, a great many people have tried really hard to make Donald Trump make sense in some broader political and historical context. But at the end of the day he's exactly what he appears to be: a rich psycho who's failed at everything in life except self-promotion.
