Kansallisen turvallisuuden nimissä nykyisten ministerien terveystiedot tulee olla luettavissa lehtien sivuilta, heidän kirjesalaisuutensa purettava, kotiin asennettava valvontakamerat ja heille saa tehdä ruumintarkastuksen milloin ja missä tahansa.

Tämä on ainut vaihtoehto.

So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Very legally significant.

I am going to avoid the gory details in these texts.

NYT also reporting: "Two of the gunshot wounds were not immediately life-threatening, the autopsy found." It appears to be bullet that appeared to go through the left-side window that was.

How about a deal that EU will pay for Rutte to leave his post as NATO secretary general and become a court jester in Washington, so he can have meetings with Trump who will be told that Rutte is the king of Europe?

Press briefings will be aired at comedy segment.

Kuka enää ajattelee että jäänmurtajakauppa USA:lle on Suomen talouden piristysruiske? Kauppojen peruminen on ainoa järkevä teko maan kanssa, joka käyttää niitä laittomiin valloituksiin. Ensin Grönlanti, sitten Islanti? - ja uutiskuvissa suomalaiset jääänmurtajat? #talouspakotteet

Politiikkaradiossa oli joku puolustusvaliokunnan ykkösketju ja kuulemma NATO on stabiili ja turvallisuusyhteistyö puolustuksen saralla toimii jenkkien kanssa hyvin, ja DCA-sopimus, ja ei syytä olla huolissaan.

Ei kai siinä sitten.

Musta tuntuu että me tullaan häviämään tää ja pahasti.

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:

"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."

"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

My book is finally out! It explores the role of the Iraqi diaspora's transnational role in building post-2003 Iraq, looking at both elite and grass-roots mobilisation and assessing their legacy.

What role did the Iraqi diaspora play in Iraq's state-building process post-2003, and what has been the legacy of their involvement?

Mites ne asiantuntijat jotka ihan tosissaan selitti et Trump on huolissaan Grönlannin turvallisuudesta selittää tämän että kun Euroopan maat panostaa Grönlannin turvallisuuteen niin Trump uhkaa tulleilla?

This 🧵 about how early modern Europeans thought about "minutes" in an era before watches with accurate minute hands is excellent, to which I'll also add astronomical time, i.e. you'll find horoscopes that say a person was born at so many minutes past the hour, long before clock minute hands existed.
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

I know! Mayor Rob Ford privatized Toronto’s snow removal. Then Mayor John Tory awarded all the contracts to just 2 companies & now almost everything is done by one company, “Snow T.O.”

& the penalty for not removing snow on time was reduced from $200 a minute to $10 a minute. Now they don’t care ☹️

Peaceful protest requires leaders willing to put their own bodies on the line.

Walz has that option. All of our leaders do.
I'm just curious. You think peaceful protest throughout history has never faced armed thugs? He's saying don't play into their hands. I don't think this is complicated.

I am a humble man. I was thinking today about the past and the exchanges I’ve had with EU officials where I (and I suspect other analysts) were laughed at:

1) Russia will invade Ukraine 😆
2) Heavily beef up Arctic military 😆
3) Plan seriously for Art 42.7 TEU 😆
