Companies are renewing their trademarks in Russia to protect their intellectual property from being stolen, copied, or hijacked by local entities and "trademark trolls". It does not mean they are trading there

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Sanctions and diplomatic ostracism only grew after the Lukashenko regime aided Russia's war against Ukraine by allowing Russian forces to use Belarusian territory for an assault against Kyiv in 2022. Now, channels to the West seem to have opened up again.

Påminner om att samma person som är produktionsdesigner för klonbaletten som ska turnera i Skandinavien i vinter också har designat hemsidan åt det ryska Tovrest, som ritar och restaurerar de här ryska kyrkorna. Sedan tidigare i höstas är han dessutom involverad i betydligt värre saker än så.

Det finns en populär, men ihålig, föreställning om att rysk upprustning drivs av västlig upprustning. Problemet är bara att väst rustade ned i 30 år till ~2020-22 och det gjorde inget för att påverka rysk upprustning. Om det och annat i P3 Dystopia: Om kriget kommer 2.

Slagsmål mellan piloterna i cockpit på FlyDubai 1073. Eventuellt försökte den ena piloten störta flygplanet. Han ska ha blivit övermannad av den andre piloten och passagerare. De har landat säkert på en regional flygplats i Saudiarabien.

What does it mean when we say NATO would reinforce the Nordics in case of war? How many, how would they come, and crucially, do we have the transport infrastructure? I've had the opportunity to together with our team talk to a lot of knowledgeable people to find the answer.

Det heter att de europeiska länderna inte är redo för krig. Så är det. Men Ukraina var inte heller redo för (fullskaligt) krig. Inget land som inte är inställt på att *inleda* ett krig är fullt förberett. Ett normalt land kan inte mobilisera och mentalt kalibrera för krig förrän det smäller.

The debate in Denmark about this deal is whether the US got anything at all, or if it's all just a reconfirmation of things that were already established. It says something about how little Trump has achieved when people can't even identify the new stuff with certainty.

“Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work,” Beattie once wrote on X. “Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.” An amazing article by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu💙⭐️
Alberta is in the middle of Canada. If the province were to detach itself, eastern Canada could be physically cut off from western Canada, the country would lose a substantial portion of its oil and natural-gas production, and the provinces important contributions to the national budget would vanish.
Canada might cease to be a viable country, especially if other provinces started to question the union. That may be the point: In 1990, Pat Buchanan, the intellectual grandfather of the MAGA movement, declared that if Quebec ever broke off from Canada, America should "pick up the pieces." This now seems to be, if not the publicly stated U.S. policy toward Canada, then at least the predator clan's policy: pressure the economy, break up the federation, pick up the pieces. And no, it is not a joke.
THE IDEA THAT a dedicated group of Americans has a plan to dismantle Canada, or that businessmen with opaque links to the U.S. government might want to create political conditions for a U.S. takeover of Greenland, may surprise Americans. It shouldn't. Every single tactic used against Brazil, Canada, or Denmark has also been deployed elsewhere—not to support democracy, not to build American prosperity, but to spread the illiberal revolution and make money for the predators who support it. Here is a partial list.

People should distinguish between bribes and campaign promises. The latter is kind of how elections are supposed to work. BTW, Democrats could embrace Trump's idea of a §5000 payout as a cost of living compensation but suggest alternative funding — remove the tariffs and tax the rich.

The mere notion of Trump reelected is enough to cast doubt on the stability of USA as an international partner. The unilateral actions since have made it clear for all but the dimmest how the future will look for surviving parliamentary democracies. And sadly, USA has little to do with it. At best.
