When it comes time to write the history of Europe in this period, there will be one area of consensus. One of the greatest errors European states ever made, was in trusting the USA.

The other day I experienced an inhuman assault on Christmas – an AI carol. The machine's inability to understand the carol's message of love made it eerie. Basic cultural forms like holiday ritual and music are weakened under the assault of algorithms.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

I was late seeing this but I truly recommend this interview. And (though propaganda happens on both sides) felt once more deeply impressed with the heroic Ukrainian army effort and the sophisticated strategic thinking that has kept the Russian mega army from gaining terrain for 4 years now.

Man kann die Menschen nicht gleichzeitig beunruhigen und beruhigen. Immer wieder zu sagen "die Lage ist ernst", aber "das wird für keinen etwas bedeuten und keiner wird betroffen sein", das kann nicht funktionieren. Wenn die Lage ernst ist, muss man auch ernst darüber sprechen.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

Clearly, Zelenskyy's video from Kupyansk was a major issue for Putin. Today's show had a special segment dedicated to it. Putin said he doesn't pay attention to these kinds of things.. and that the sign looked different, and that it was far from the actual town etc... Right.
