It's about dominance and power. The liberal rules based order (however flawed) is dead. Europe needs to recognize this and act accordingly.

I had a prostate examination. It wasn’t pleasant but it was quick and minor.
The consultant talked about how many people my age haven’t had one and should. So I said I’d casually mention it in case it encourages others to.
So I am. And also I’m posting it on Bluesky. Consider contacting your GP.
