15 September 1935 | The Nuremberg Laws - discrimination, racist & antisemitic laws, were enacted by the Reichstag in Nazi Germany. The laws excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship, disenfranchised them, and deprived them of most political rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws

Speaking as ex-Navy person, it's part of a well-known pattern rather than an escalation, IMO. But it *is* a step up on the naval communication ladder that there doesn't seem to have been any radio contact before they fired the flares. Rude, and potentially dangerous.

A Russian ship fired flares at a Danish military helicopter off the southern coast of Denmark yesterday, triggering alarm in Copenhagen as the Kremlin's belligerence against Europe ramps up.

OTD 25 years ago, I was at the office when a colleague said “You’d better come see this on my screen”. & then we stared, didn’t quite understand what we saw, and then the shock when the second plane hit the South tower. Never forget🙏

This is Kyiv today. Russians struck a high-rise apartment building, injuring four people‼️ ​The strike caused structural damage on the 11th and 12th floors of the 22-story building and triggered a fire on the 12th floor. Terrorists.

I’m just back from #Macbeth at #kglteater - great performance by Jens Søndergaard in title role, and even better company innthe shape of my teenage niece (not pictured here). Bravi tutti👏

Reuters picked up our story on Danish intelligence warning about active Russian planning and preparation for sabotage against Danish companies: reuters.com/world/russia...

Russia recruits Danes for sabotage planning, Denmark says

Russia is recruiting Danish citizens to help plan sabotage against Danish defence firms with ​ties to Ukraine, the country's national security ‌and intelligence service, PET, said on Thursday.

Jeg har talt med PET: De danske myndigheder har afsløret konkrete russiske planer for sabotageaktioner mod forsvarsindustrien. Fremgangsmåden er opsigtsvækkende: Russerne kontakter danske »stedfortrædere«, der ofte ikke aner uråd. Læs med: www.berlingske.dk/internationa...

Russians attacked Dnipro, triggering a fire, and killing at least ​2 people, at least 6 others were injured‼️ The strike also damaged warehouses belonging to a retail chain.

I'v been in a couple of trips on the same kind of boat (and a slightly larger one with a steel hull for New Year's). And in November, I'll visit the Kangia Icefiord again and can hardly wait to be reminded just how small humans are and how hard the impact is that we make on nature!
