"Putin is a dictator. Putin has ruled Russia with an iron KGB fist since coming to power in 1999. He has ruthlessly quashed independent media, ended free and fair elections, crushed civil society and killed his political opponents." nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

Tactics. Say something outrageous. Then appear to be lenient when countries reach 3-4%. Say thanks, knowing all along that 5% is out of reach for most. Trump woke us from a slumber & made us even stronger + economically the USA benefits from NATO hundreds of billions of dollars.

Instead of attacking and trying to sanction Musk, maybe the EU should focus on the true enemy of the West, which is Russia. "In 2024, the EU imported a record 16.5 million metric tons of LNG from Russia, surpassing the 15.2 million in 2023" foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/03/e...

Europe Somehow Still Depends on Russia’s Energy
After years of war and promises to change course, the continent maintains ties to Russian fossil fuels.

It will be interesting to see if it will be some mainstream outlet or X or @bsky.app with its citizen journalists (as @elonmusk says) that will lift Luigi Mangione into the questionable spotlight as it did with Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Glamorizing horrible acts. Let's hope not.

Listening to an older Sebastian Gorka interview and the Biden decision came as a shock. In 2021 Biden lifted the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Weak and as we know now, a dangerously costly move. Maybe Trump is a better, stronger leader in some parts... youtu.be/0KxM2djEpiA?...

Why? Thanks is more appropriate. For Elon and the whole company. "The contract means that 2,500 Starlink terminals already in Ukraine will get access to Starshield, a classified and encrypted signal over Starlink that's more difficult to hack into or jam."

Itsellä Stubb menee selkeästi 1. Positiivinen, puhuu 5 kieltä, kansainvälinen ajatuksineen ja olemuksensa puolesta, verkostoitunut, urheilullinen sekä älykäs ja en usko, että häkeltyy Trumpinkaan kaltaisten tyyppien kanssa, eli osaa pelata ns. politiikka peliä isojen poikien kanssa. Ei nöyristele
