Inslaget illustrerar grundproblemet: Det spelar ingen roll hur mycket myndigheten informerar om personen struntar i varningarna. Ingen åtgärd kommer räcka för de som inte inser sitt eget ansvar.

My summer project of reading the history of Finnish (military) intelligence approaches its end, so a few things I've learned:

First, Finnish signals intelligence ( #SIGINT) was _very_ good.

During WW2, it was regularly reading not only Soviet codes, but also the diplomatic codes of e.g. the US.
Been reading some more.

Finnish army intelligence standing order in the 1950s: “Covert operations against USSR are ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN.”

Finnish intelligence reports to the president: “…in [a village deep in occupied Karelia], the Soviets have recently repaired the roof of a watch house…”
Been reading about early #ColdWar #Finnish #intelligence #history and man, it’s _wild._

Like, a Social Democrat officer ran the largely privately funded military intelligence, which (among other things) spied upon both the Communists and the civilian security police (SUPO), ...

OTD in 1992 Russia, Ukraine, Belarus & Kazakhstan signed Lisbon protocol to promise to give their nukes to Russia.

It also recognized *all 4 states* as legal successors to USSR. Thus, Kremlin concedes in law that Ukraine won WW2 just as much as we claim we did.

”En ungersk invasion av Ukraina är förstås en militär och politisk omöjlighet. Men den finns ändå som en våt dröm hos den ungerska härskarklassen och lever i Ungerns kultur, politik, underrättelseverksamhet – en böld i det EU som Ukraina är så beroende av.”

Fun fact: At Blohm + Voss (the Bismarck’s build yard), I once designed an ad poster for the MEKO A-200 frigate that in the background showed a ghostly silhouette of the Bismarck under dark clouds. To show the A-200’s lineage. The sales execs loved it, but the bosses didn’t. It was strictly verboten.

Trump asked today, why didn’t Ukraine fight back in Crimea in 2014? As I wrote in my book, The War Came To Us, Ukraine’s decision to not fight against Russia’s invasion was largely influenced by behind-the-scenes pressure from the US. Here’s what then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov told me:

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Traditionen med z i namnet uppstod när Folke Isaksson (1920–2011), känd folkparksföreståndare i Kristianstad, skulle skylta för Lasse Stefans. Då skyltningsbokstaven s tog slut satte Folke helt enkelt upp ett z istället för sista s'et och traditionen var startad.

OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss vote took place. A dictator had sent his army over the border to make sure the illegal referendum got the right result.

Imagine that happening today.

But it's a much cruder and more stupid version than Bush 43's - one that, unlike the original version, entirely discounts soft power and alliances. Instead it tries to coerce and extort allies and trading partners.

At the same time, though, and despite Rubio's (correct) observation that unipolarity was an anomaly of the post-Cold War period, the Trump administration seems to be replaying George W. Bush's approach to world affairs, in which the US is the unconstrained global hegemon.

The great power model assumes a world organised via pragmatic bargaining grounded in realpolitik, and where the mutual capacity to inflict damage constrains expansionist impulses.

Term 2 Trump foreign policy - from tariffs to NATO to soft power to China and Russia - is an epic mess. One reason seems to be that the administration is operating with two conflicting, equally flawed, views of the world and the US's place in it. 🧵

Just one small problem: the policies Trump advocated would only make things worse. They are pre-mercantilist. They are so bad they are not even wrong.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

You don’t negotiate with Russian terrorists who fire missiles with cluster ammunition warheads at playgrounds and killing 9 children, as happened in Krivyi Rih. You send those Russian terrorists straight to hell and break their remaining empire into pieces. Period.
