That's surely a lot of money & shouldn't be underestimated. Money, however, only goes so far. As someone put it the other day: if you pass by a building and they drop a piano on your head, that hurts. If they drop two pianos on your head, does it hurt twice as bad? #HowManyNegativeAdsCanOneRun?

So the USA is set to receive 300.000 tons of Diesel from Russia soon. Sounds like a lot? Well: The U.S. uses up "roughly 491,000 metric tons of Diesel per day" (© BBC). So 300,000 tons of diesel equal about half a day worth of U.S. demand... www.npr.org/2026/10/09/n...

This is "just" the number of confirmed identities. The true number is probably quite a bit higher. Not sure when, but the day will come, when some hard questions will be asked in Russia. Why was this necessary and to what avail? The cost-benefit equation for Russia is a dire one....

Analysis • Israel's embrace is a gift to Austria's far right, but comes with hidden risks
Israel's government is helping Austria's Freedom Party ward off accusations of antisemitism, but in the eyes of its own supporters, the embrace could make the party look like part of the system it cla...

Well, if I have the choice to live in a "mass democracy" like Austria or a Peter Thiel/corporate ruled entity somewhere on the globe without regard for the resident's opinions.... not a hard choice really 😎 But hey, good luck Peter. Also with your immorality/longevity dreams. I know how that ends 😊

Important point made by @ssinijlawi.bsky.social: The Palastinian elections scheduled for November 28 - the first such elections in two decades - must be held as planned. Their cancellation would deepen political stagnation & despair among young Palestinians 👇 www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

US President Donald Trump should support Palestinian democratic efforts | The Jerusalem Post
Mr. President, do not allow the door to Palestinian democracy to be closed again. Your public support can keep it open - and help change the future of the Middle East.

“I want to be precise about what I am not proposing. I am not proposing a third bloc in order to become a great-power rival – only with better manners”. Nice line by the Canadian Primeminister during his speech in the European Parliament.

As they should be. The fundametal values of the European Union are after all human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and human rights. And that simply doesn't square with the hero worship of a convicted war criminal. Simple as that.

Ist das das nicht ein Fall für Artikel 5 der NATO? "Die Parteien vereinbaren, daß ein bewaffneter Angriff gegen eine oder mehrere von ihnen in Europa oder Nordamerika als ein Angriff gegen sie alle angesehen werden wird..."

Indeed. But maybe Europe should also ratched up it's own ballistic missile production capabilities? Being able to counter-attack, and not only to defend, might also serve as a deterrent.

An unflinching assessment of US global influence 5 months into the Iran conflict: - an unpredictable U.S. foreign policy - no one wants to be subject to a whipsaw foreign policy that doesn’t know its limits - neither the military prowess nor the diplomatic promises of the US can be trusted. Ouch!

Doesn't happen all that often 🙂, but here's a point I agree with President Trump 100%. Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. is truly one of the "worst airports anywhere in the world". Any plan to overhaul it can't come fast enough!

If nothing else, this is a huge disservice to the US-team. They played a strong tournament and are deservedly in the round of 16. Now they won't be remembered for the way they played, but for the unfair advantage they received. What a way to spoil a great World Championship... #RedCardSuspension
