Rearmament may look like an easy fix to Europe’s security problems.
But military Keynesianism is a dead end both economically and politically, argues @tribunemagazine.bsky.social’s @graceblakeley.substack.com.

During my childhood in Romania, Hungary was seen as a much more developed and advanced neighbour. Today, it’s one of the poorest countries in the EU.
What Viktor Orbán has done to Hungary is unforgivable.
I believe US needs to learn from this huge trap the Hungarians have fallen into.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Without Western chips, Russia would not be able to produce key weapons. To prove that this line of supply continues despite bans from the U.S. and Europe, the Kyiv Independent tried ordering American microchips from Russian trading companies.

Now that Ukrainians are advancing again, we get to see more Russian barbarism again. Here Russian troops are hiding in a basement, they force the civilians who were previously hiding in it, to stand at the entrance as human shields from Ukrainian drones. Begging the drone operators to not attack.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?
Seems like why the meeting imploded was more like "Trump is senile and has lost all impulse control and JD Vance is pickled in online fash propaganda" www.semafor.com/article/02/2...
Why the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting imploded
It happened in part because the White House perceived a loss of focus on the reason they were even gathering.

Trump‘s government is geopolitically aligned with the Kremlin.
Witkoff: "The war didn't need to happen. It was provoked. It doesn't necessarily mean it was provoked by the Russians. There were all kinds of conversations back then about Ukraine joining NATO. That didn't need to happen. It basically became a threat to the Russians."
