The US is giving up Europe to Russia, Asia to China, and for itself, it sees... Latin America. This is surprisingly unambitious and looks more like capitulation than a division of spheres of influence.
NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY DROPPED

There is a LOT here, but omg NATO allies are going to seethe at this paragraph

Not only a decent person, great playwright but outstanding friend of Belarus has passed away.

A pretext for stopping arms sales to Ukraine. After this recognition , the weapons will be used to attack Russia's sovereign territory—formally, of course. The US is changing sides in this war!
The US is reportedly ready to recognize Russia’s control over Crimea & occupied Ukrainian regions to push its “peace deal.” Witkoff & Kushner are in Moscow with the offer.

Hey Trump, peace is for Ukrainians to decide. They won’t surrender just so he can stage another media win for himself.

My forecast for the situation with Russian drones in Poland:
1. Pro-Russian parties will become number 1 in the ratings
2. Attacks and "slow pogrom" on Ukrainians in Poland will intensify.

The most interesting discovery for me in the story with AI turned out to be that the need for authenticity is absent in most people. I was convinced that everyone has it, to varying degrees.

Every fucking election:

Farmers: “If you don't respect our identity, we will vote for the worst option for the country.”

Government : *throws them money*

Farmers: * shut up *

Every time!

Belarusians gathering in Warsaw to celebrate Independence Day. Ukrainian flags are here, too.

What surprises me most right now is why Americans aren't organizing a giant street protest.

All power is solar power.

Fossil fuel is solar power stored for eons as complex organic molecules assembled through photosynthesis.

Hydro is a large solar powered inverted steam engine.

Wind is just a solar heated gas turbine.

Nuclear is stored energy from the explosion of a prior sun.

Just save it for history.
[Journalist]”Do u,Mr. President,think that Putin is taking advantage of the U.S. pause right now on intelligence& military aid to #Ukraine?"

Trump:"I think he wants to get it stopped& settled,I think he's hitting them harder...I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now”

That’s why Europe must prepare for painful divorce with US
Look at the gap between the U.S. left and the U.S. right.

Even look at where the U.S. right site in comparison to the French and Italian right who are the conscious heirs to the Vichy and Mussolini legacies.

Pretty breathtaking.

If you want to help Ukrainian soldiers to fight, 1$ here is better than thousands words.

As Belarusian citizen. It’s spit on every Belarusians in exile, killed, tortured and imprisoned. Shame on US. Shame..
JUST IN:

The UN has adopted Ukraine’s resolution condemning Russian aggression and demanding the immediate withdrawal of Putin’s forces, marking the war’s third anniversary.

The U.S. joined Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Hungary in opposing the resolution.

It's so extremely wild to see that in less than 3 months Elon single-handedly is shredding decades of work the CIA did to build economic soft-power bases throughout Africa and Asia.

Inverse of this exists too. For many, Trump represents a divine punishment for liberals, the United States, modernity, capitalism, et al.

It’s a deeply reactionary impulse.
it is beyond clear that for many americans trump is a blank slate who stands for whatever they personally want
