I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.
Yup, just a massive brawl in itself, not crippling to either side-but Kursk/Zitadelle does matter, because it was followed by a permanent shift in initiative on the Eastern Front (and it was the last time Axis power held initiative in WW2, brief interlude of the Ardennes offensive notwithstanding).
The world’s in a gangsterish state, with Trump, Putin & Xi turning dependencies into protection rackets. That’s a dilemma for candidates to be next UN Sec. General. How to defend basic norms without crossing the veto-wielding bullies of the Security Council? My column economist.com/internationa...

Cheese (soft) porn, and *white* cheese to boot! (Probably better not to think too deeply about this „daring secret” ingredient).
Happy 12th anniversary of the day Kim Jong Un visited the lube factory.

Somewhat unexpected poster for a tv series about the East German secret police. Oh, it’s a double S you say? (Btw tagline for this would have worked for a series about Stasi too).
Modern economic infrastructure can have these very vulnerable nodes, with visual impact for Russian civilian morale being an added bonus. I wonder if targeting choice was made mainly by humans or identified by those Palantir AI tools that Ukraine uses for their deep strike campaign coordination.
