Putin openly calls for a “security buffer zone” inside Northern Ukraine—clear proof he’s not seeking peace, but planning further occupation. Peace remains far off.

In case you are curious, this is vintage footage from Chongjin showing what the DPRK was trying to do with its new 5,000 ton destroyer. The front end stuck, though, and the whole thing flopped into the water.

JPMorgan estimates the US average effective tariff rate actually went *up* yesterday with the 125% tariff on China, from 23% to 25%. But it would go down to 12% in the “extreme case where Chinese imports shrink to zero.”

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.

Ich habe Maidan-Flashbacks.
Sehr bitter, dass in Deutschland überhaupt keine Berichterstattung zu Georgien stattfindet. Da sind heute 100.000 Menschen auf der Straße, kämpfen um Demokratie und Eintritt in die EU. Meine Reportage erscheint morgen bei netzpolitik.org, ich berichte weiter bis Anfang Januar aus Tiflis.

Der Westen ist an einem zivilisatorischen Wendepunkt angelangt: Die Presse als vierte Gewalt soll zerstört werden, damit die Wahrheit unterdrückt wird und die Lügen von faschistischen Regierenden triumphieren. Orwells Albtraum wird wahr.

Looks like Russia's ongoing disinformation campaign has changed up tactics, and is now finding students talking online and deepfaking their voices so they can use them to put out their usual anti-Western messages. The below is taken from this original www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9L5...

Den meisten Leute dürfen noch gar nicht realisiert haben, dass die iranische „Axis of Resistance“ tot ist. Vielleicht auch bald das iranische Regime.
