EU decides not to make geopolitical laughing stock of itself by a considerably-less-than-overwhelming majority.
(And I'm the person who generally says trade deals don't have much to do with geopolitics, but I'd submit that this one does.)

The one silver lining here is that no one cares about government dietary guidelines anyway.

New US dietary guidelines call for more protein, less processed food
The changes receive mixed reviews from experts, in particular over concerns some could lead to people eating more saturated fats.

Assuming they really did take Maduro, I still don't see what the end game is? Do they expect the rest of the regime to just crumble now?

Poland will purchase 3 submarines from Saab. A crucial investment for Sweden and Saab as the previous production line stood at a measly 2. Poland is the first buyer outside Sweden, and carrying the development cost alone has been an increasing burden for Swedish defense.

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.
And rightly so. It’s amazing that the small ones have punched so far above their weight, but inexcusable that the bigger ones haven’t followed suit. There simply are capacity limits for the small ones.

Nordic countries paying most for Ukraine ‘not sustainable,’ Swedish foreign minister says

Fascinating reading the new Malaysia-US trade agreement. The countries have agreed to "economic security alignment", which effectively means that Malaysia lets the US set its trade policies in strategic sectors. If the US introduces a tariff or export restriction, Malaysia promises to follow suit.

Jag tror det här är en strid MP bara kan förlora på. Stödet för kärnkraft är rekordstort i Sverige. Det är retoriskt hopplöst att å ena sidan hävda att klimatet är vår tids stora ödesfråga och å andra sidan förklara att man kämpar emot klimatsmart energiförsörjning.
Bara fram till 2019 hade kärnkraft besparat världen 60 gigaton CO2.
Tänk på det nästa gång du hör någon säga att de ‘prioriterar klimatet’.
