Som jeg skrev på en anden platform for nylig, spår jeg, at vi i en nær fremtid kommer til at fortryde bittert, at vi nogensinde tillod "overvågning er frihed"-generationen af danske politikere at lukke typer som Peter Thiel ind i vores samfunds allerinderste.

One of the fastest ways to damage a European defense industry is electing a pro-Russian government. Border states won't rely on weapons from Kremlin-friendly leaders, and billions in defense contracts could shift elsewhere, taking high-tech jobs with them
Productivity doesn't matter if you're working on the wrong thing.
Trump & Hegseth = war criminals. "The president may also hope that he can change the subject by launching another military operation, this time against the government in Cuba. And the news media have indeed begun writing more about Cuba than about the unfolding disaster in Iran." 🎁 t2m.co/SRrgzMJC

He seems to hope to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

Toldsatserne er ukloge af en myriade af grunde, som økonomer bedst kan redegøre for. Men når ens erklærede mål er at undergrave EU, forekommer de simpelthen ekstraordinært idiotiske. Trump gør vitterligt mere for at styrke EU, end nogen europæisk leder er lykkedes med i min levetid.
”a broader psychological anxiety hamstrings European leaders: an inability to contemplate going it alone — without US support or even against US wishes — where “it” means not just Ukraine and wider security, but technology and the economy. This inferiority complex is unwarranted.” YES

A world ruled by force rather than law is a world where no one is safe. That's exactly where this train is heading.
this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade
