Fun to see a senior Russian official accessing X through a VPN (because it’s banned in Russia) and the criticise the EU for interfering in a Twitter Poll (when the Kremlin fixes Russian elections and interferes in Moldova, Romania and Czechia just in the last few months)

Russia cannot be beaten.
"But Putin can. He’s losing, not winning. And sooner or later, like the tsars and totalitarians of old, that same eternal Russia whose name he glorifies will chew him up and spit him out."
Outstanding piece on Putin's deluded gambit.

NATO boss declines to take a side when one NATO member casually proposes invading another. Extraordinary scenes.
Donald Trump is babbling about taking Greenland in front of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:
"I think it will happen."
Rutte basically told him to leave him and NATO out of it.
Donald is a global embarrassment talking about "international security" when he's bowing down to Putin.

Threat to invade & occupy land to secure coercive policy alignment by a democratic state. Let’s be clear: no real difference to Russian behaviour, here.
“Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much Panamanian security forces agree to partner with the U.S.”

Das Süßholzgeraspel der Union gegenüber den einst verhassten Grünen ist ein ziemlich mieses Schauspiel. So durchschau- wie vorhersehbar. Jetzt also „staatspolitische Verantwortung“.

Being a U.S. ally means Russia can genocide your country while America exploits the situation—extorting, manipulating, and using its executive branch to wage a relentless propaganda war against you. Even if you’re the largest, most resource-rich, and most pro-American nation in Europe.

We warned people, but too many stayed home, threw a protest vote, or didn’t think their vote mattered—or worse, voted for Trump.
If Democrats think the winning 2026 strategy is to just let Trump and the GOP hurt their own voters until they “wake up” — we’re screwed.
