Many have forgotten how "the Russia problem" was spread very close to the borders of the countries that currently consider themselves "safe". Russia doesn't actually think in "spheres of influence", it takes everything it's allowed to.
Officials in Canberra are scrambling to stop Russia from using an Indonesian air force base that would put its jets within striking range of the Australian mainland.
Australia balks as Russia eyes Indonesian air force base
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says government is “seeking further clarification” from Jakarta.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Things don't look good for the price of eggs. But Trump has it figured out - the number of people voting for him positively correlates with egg prices.
Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts.

We are now observing the 5 classic stages of grief unfolding re US turn towards Russia. Denial and anger seem to be largely passed, we are now at bargaining ("May be Trump likes us if we spend more on defence and Zelensky apologises"). Then depression, and quite soon, acceptance 🤷♂️

Elektri kõrge hinna põhjuseks on vähene tuul ja päike ning kallis gaas
Nädalavahetusel toimunud Venemaa elektrivõrgust eraldumise järel on Balti regioonis elektri hinnad tempokalt tõusma hakanud. Selle põhjuseks on vähe tuult ja päikest ning kallinenud gaas.

What the leftists don't understand is that this policy would actually benefit the "common man". Such policies capture more of the global capital and money flows, and these do trickle down. The bad news is that the more it works, the more it boosts Trump and the likes.
Without providing more details, President-elect Trump says that any person or company that invests $1 billion or more in the United States will get expedited regulatory approvals and permits.
He notes that this includes environmental approvals.

I know nothing about Austrian politics but experience says: when there's talk of an extremist party "winning the vote", it's usually clickbait BS. If 10% elects to eat sh*t and 90% is split between actual food items, then sh*t-eating hasn't won anything.
