In June 2024, more than two years after Russia’s full-scale invasion, Dmytro Kuleba, then Ukraine’s foreign minister, was in a sombre mood when I met him in Kyiv. His country was losing soldiers by the tens of thousands. I asked him what he thought of Europe’s attitude. “Here is Europe’s problem,” he replied. “You will not understand what war is until it gets under your skin. Mobilisation may be tearing our society apart, but wait until French mothers have to send their sons to defend a Nato country bordering Russia.”

Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress — and How to Bring It Back by Marc J Dunkelman (PublicAffairs) America was once a country that built things. Now it cannot. This is true in other high-income countries, too, including the UK. A big part of the problem is, as Klein and Thompson also argue (see below), that “progressives” have become ultra-conservative, even reactionary. One of the explanations, argues Dunkelman, is their intense suspicion of power and those who wield it. The resulting plethora of checks on power paralyses government. As he writes, “Lionizing government and then ensuring it fails is, in the end, among the worst of bad political strategies.”

"European leaders, meeting today in panic mode, are paying a bitter price for their failure to seize the initiative. That is an indictment of their short-sightedness."

Be in no doubt that this is a perilous moment. When a president is not bound by even America’s interests, but is instead motivated by—who knows?—visions of fat profits for American companies, a personal loathing of Mr Zelensky, delusions about Mr Putin, a false sense of what it is to be a statesman, then anything can happen.

Both FT and Economist as blunt as they have ever been in their brutal assertion of the US plan.
Headline criticizing Trump as cynical, self-interested and money-driven, with subheading warning a US-backed Ukraine peace plan would capitulate to Moscow. Bold serif headline letter I and paragraph text criticizing a "28-point peace plan" for ending the war in Ukraine as vague, unbalanced and impractical.

Fantastisches Interview mit Microsoft-CEO Satya Nadella https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/satya-nadella-2
Therefore you kind of want the infrastructure to support whatever may come in your own model family and other model families. You’ve got to be open. If you’re serious about the hyperscale business, you’ve got to be serious about that. If you’re serious about being a model company, you have to basically say, “What are the ways people can do things on top of the model so that I can have an ISV ecosystem?” Unless I’m thinking I’ll own every category, that just can’t be that. Then you won’t have an API business and that, by definition, will mean you’ll never be a platform company that’s successfully deployed everywhere. Therefore the industry structure is such that it will really force people to specialize. In that specialization, a company like Microsoft should compete in each layer by its merits, but not think that this is all about the road to game set match, where I just compose vertically all these layers. That just doesn’t happen.

Aus einem Kommentar zu diesem Text: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-great-world-war-2-afterparty
So when Eisenhower ordered U.S. troops to physically view Nazi atrocities, here's what he was saying: "Having fought a war against these people will not be enough. Pictures will not be enough. Print stories will not be enough. We need to have thousands of ordinary folks, many of them not initially hostile to Nazi ideas, to spend the rest of their lives witnessing to other ordinary folk just how horrific the Nazis really were." The trouble is that such a strategy has a half-life. Witnesses die out, and a decreasing number of their offspring espouse their message. But all that is gone now, and liberal America, for the most part, seems to feel that they can just whip out a moral taboo and like a magical spell, all will be made right. Eisenhower could have told you that the enemy is a lot stronger than that.

Ich mag, dass der Algorithmus von Substack Notes auch regelmäßig ältere Beiträge hochspült. Hier zB einen von vor einem Monat und einen von 2022(!).

Es ist so banal wie es felsenfest ignoriert wird: Algorithmisches Ranking kann in viele verschiedene Richtungen gehen.
