Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "Without AI systems, Russia would have won" Claude is still probably recovering from its PTSD over the Battle of Kyiv.

The West will continue searching for the “other russia,” the “alternative russia.” It does so because the West itself was shaped for centuries by pluralism—by contestation, competing centers of power, and a clash of wills. It instinctively imagines the rest of the world the same way. 🧵 1/11

1/ Russian mobile air defence teams are stuck in queues outside gas stations and are being denied preferential access to scarce fuel, a Russian source says in a plea to a warblogger for help. The problem has arisen because the teams don't drive military-registered vehicles. ⬇️

FIFA vs. Trump 0 : 1 Diese WM schafft es fast täglich ein tieferes Level zu erreichen.

Reminder that Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer refused to let Ukraine strike Russian oil and gas, even with their own weaponry. Will somebody in US leadership, someday get Russian policy right?

Four years on, the West is still asking when this war will end and what Putin will accept. Our interview with French strategist Nicolas Tenzer, who says both questions miss the point.

To state the bleeding obvious, you can only be 'at the heart of Europe' if you're a member of the European Union. @Keir_Starmer www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Polanski should serve as a warning to green parties: Never fall into the russian propaganda trap of denying countries their right to self-determination! Journalist: "Does Israel have a right to exist?" Zack Polanski: "I don't believe any country has a right to exist. People have a right to exist."

A message to Howard Lutnick from Canada - you suck. You suck as a negotiator. You suck a human being. You suck at the job of representing the best interests of the people of the USA. Please check out my analysis of why Lutnick sucks so bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvNX...

it is just mind boggling how "NATO ally so frightened of US rhetoric, was prepared to shoot at US soldiers" was a one day story

Why have regional wars when you can combine them into a giant global one Has anyone tried this before

Traditionally I invade someone during the Olympics. This current invasion is going so well it started right after the last winter Olympics ended and hasn't stopped since. I remain a master strategist.

Peter Mandelson's so dodgy he's been approached to work for FIFA

Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

On häpeällistä että Suomi vasta "arvioi rauhassa" sitä pitäisikö lähettää pari sotilasta tukemaan Tanskaa. Norja ja Ruotsi ovat näin tehneet. Anteeksi vain ja kaikella kunnioituksella TP-UTVA, mutta MITÄ? Kyse ei ole resursseista. Ainoa johtopäätös on, että pelätään Yhdysvaltojen reaktiota.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Trump's calculation is that Europe will sacrifice Greenland because Europeans cannot defend themselves without America. Europe's dependence on US security guarantees is absolute. 1/

Military analysts in 2025--The Russian military has adapted and pressed forward inexorably and will soon take Pokrovsk. Historians in 2055. The Russian military campaign of 2025 was one of the most self-destructive in modern military history.

Best answer of the day by Poland’s @radek-sikorski.bsky.social

The United States is now not only pro-Russia, it is also taking a stand against Europe, and has a clear objective to meddle in European affairs. The U.S. will support European patriotic parties (pro-Russia fascists). The U.S. with its current regime is an enemy of a free Europe.

The new US #NationalSecurityStrategy is so alarming that I spent hours today on this piece, rather than my real work. We the Europeans, and especially the #NB8 countries in #NATO 's Eastern Flank, MUST prepare to defend our #democracy and deter #Russia by ourselves. jmkorhonen.net/2025/12/05/w...

When the umbrella starts to leak: Securing NATO’s Eastern Flank after the new U.S. security strategy

The new U.S. National Security Strategy shifts the United States to an unreliable ally at best – an active threat at worst. Europe and in particular NB8 countries on NATO’s Eastern Flan…
