Every - every single one - DB is late. On one now from Freiburg to Berlin that is only 12 mins late which is a small miracle! Trentitalia and SNCF (and ofc SBB) beat them hands down...

This is something AI is incredibly useful at - a quick overview of Trump/US statements on Greenland in the past year. Rather than the individual shock dynamic, the overview shows a pattern and an increasing aggressiveness in the demands towards territorial annexation of Greenland:

'Express Your Loyalty': Russian Speakers In Latvia Face Language Test -- Or Deportation
After years of increasing pressure, the Latvian government has begun issuing orders for the longtime Russian residents who have failed to learn Latvian to leave the country. A handful have been deported, hundreds have simply left, while up to 1,000 mostly elderly Russian speakers wait in limbo.

Thank you for the piece. One thing that puzzles me - what does "definitively smash[ing] the “European order”" look like as an outcome? Occupation of multiple territories, including large ones? Puppet regimes? Something else? Seems v hard to envisage as sustainable?

And I would add, regarding EU regulation, to reduce harm to people as citizens, not just as consumers.
