to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

The now famous explosion of the roof-tossing oil silo in Moscow, Russia, was probably caused by a Russian air defense missile. Absolutely hilarious.

1/ Crimea is falling into a critical situation, says Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin, while in the war as a whole, Russia is "very close to the line beyond which lies military defeat". He lambasts the Kremlin for "lethargy" and living in fantasy on the "Planet of the Pink Ponies". ⬇️

An impressive video showing the striking of the bridge in Armiansk, Crimea, Ukraine. The bridge is now clearly out of order. The video also shows the striking of several Russian trucks. It confirms that the Russian occupation in Crimea is increasingly under severe pressure.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

One can guess that Russian targeting helped the Iranians pull this attack off, which seems to have destroyed very valuable US equipment. But will Trump criticise Putin? No he will not. When will people wake up to the reality that the US president is a Russian agent of influence?

The government assured courts that refunds would be available if it lost, but those assurances did not acknowledge the 180‑day finality rule that makes many entries permanently unrecoverable. (1/2)

- The government did assure courts that refunds were available. - The government knew that customs finality rules prevent reopening entries after 180 days. - The government did not disclose clearly that this would bar refunds for a large share of early IEEPA duties.

Just a reminder it’s been two days since reports came out, later acknowledged by Trump and his Administration, that Russia has been helping Iran to try and kill US military personnel. And the Trump response so far has been...drum roll please...to reduce sanctions on Russia!

What this further confirms is that the Trump administration knows Russia is helping Iranians try to kill Americans, but is doing nothing to stop it. How about sanctions or more arms sales to Ukraine?

Balance of payments is a form of double-entry accounting, meaning every credit has a corresponding debit. In other words, current account + capital and financial account = 0. Therefore a "Balance of payments deficit" is nonsense.

Mikkel B @mikkelb.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
Section 122 tariffs are illegal as well. They will be struck down by the courts. The conditions required does not include trade deficits or current account deficits, but balance-of-payments deficits, which are non sensical when the dollar is a floating currency, which is has been for many years.
“fundamental international payments problems require special import measures,” including
(1) “large and serious United States balance‑of‑payments deficits,”
(2) imminent and significant dollar depreciation, or
(3) cooperation in correcting an international balance‑of‑payments disequilibrium.
