👩🏻‍🦽 In a city, 200m for pedestrians has the same time cost as 2km for cars, so plan accordingly.

manage and Ruscism will fail.

Seems easy, in principle. I don’t think the current U.S. administration could mount any competent response in WTO or wherever, if ever, these cases would be trialed.
Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

Interesting read: 👇
The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too
The new US National Security Strategy helps - or forces - European leaders to let go of the consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and to focus on an own strategy instead.

Something drastic needs to change in Russia before there is any reason to believe they will honor agreements.

Sadly same goes for US since Trump 2.0.
Russia always tries to reach an agreement which it necessarily breaks. It's a pattern, it breaks the promises that it makes because it knows that nobody is going to enforce the agreements, nobody is going to hold Russia accountable for breaking its promises and agreements. 1/6

Trump is now an aide in Russia’s regime change plan for Ukraine.

Europeans need to act NOW, not after the German elections, to make sure Ukrainians have an alternative. All the worst came true and there is no other way to put it than that the US is in Russia’s team now.
Trump snaps back at Zelenskyy, blaming Ukraine for the war
The Ukrainian president has been excluded from the administration’s negotiations with Russia seeking an end to the war.

After Northeast Europe's big told-you-so moment of 2022, now it could be France's time.

And once we're done with all that, maybe we can just start building an integrated European defence, like we should have done in 1954?
For years Macron warned the Baltics and Poles and Nordics that the US would no longer be reliable. Yet we all mocked Macron and derided the Europeanisation of defense as a dangerous abandonment of Atlanticism and @natohq.bsky.social and a ploy to fund French defense companies. Yet here we are.
Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17

The actual negotiations have not started and Putin already got more than he was hoping.

After Moscow sobers up from all the partying, they will demand much more before starting any formal process.
Pete Hegseth, asked at NATO press conference what concessions Vladimir Putin will be expected to make in exchange for peace in Ukraine, lauds Trump as "the perfect dealmaker"... but avoids answering the question.

Have you seen this one before? A short history of traffic engineering via @copenhagenizers.bsky.social. Manufactured #CarDependency takes a lot of forms, including how easy or hard we make it to get from A to B using any other ways of getting around.

A direct result of the wrong priorities.
