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.

I you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said first past the post democracies like the UK were immune to challenges from third parties. The collapse of both the traditional left and right is honestly shocking.

In the future, there is going to be some quality theater on the life of Elon Musk. The world's richest man, and yet his mind is overtaken by the very app he bought, slowly devolving into right wing madness. The tragedy writes itself.

Detta kommer från och med nu vara exempel 1A på varför "vandel" är problematiskt som grund för utvisning.
David Alcer jobbar på Lunds universitet, och är klimataktivist.
Nu har gränspolisen upprepade gånger frihetsberövat honom – utan brottsmisstanke – och hotat med utvisning.
– Jag trodde inte att det kunde gå till så här i en demokrati, säger han.

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’.

There is a rule of law crisis in the US, and I don't know how it can be fixed without GOP participation.
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

Just to be clear. Yes, Trump probably contributed to making this peace deal. No, that doesn't deserve an award, it just shows that the US president always had the power to end this war, if the political will was there.

An inherent part of populism is that it starts with a story and looks for confirmation rather than starting with the facts and build a story from there. In somewhat functioning discourse, populist elites eventually have to give some ground to reality. In the US however, reality has been abandoned.

Nokia & Ericsson get squeezed out of the few crumbs they still had on Chinese market.

All the while, Huawei & ZTE have retained 30 to 35 per cent of the European mobile infrastructure market. Huawei 50%+ of German 5G access network.

Absolute economic security folly.

Aesthetics and good looks as organisational principle.

Makes me think of that Prussian king who only wanted extremely tall recruits because it look better on rh parade ground.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

The fact that most of Western Europe has decided to recognize a Palestinian state only now when Israel has decided to finish its decades long project of making said state completely unfeasable, tells you how behind the curve our policies have been for a long time.

Hela artikelns premiss bygger på att skjutningen av Kirk skedde pga antifacistiska motiv. Det är överhuvudtaget inte klarlagt. Däremot vet vi att det högerextrema våldet är långt mer dödligt än det vänsterextrema.
