And we still leave sherry and a carrot for Santa and the reindeer in the fireplace. I have to consume these for breakfast because the kids stay up later than me.

To be fair, you need also to track DE trade with central Asian republics. The unexplained jump since the war began had been widely reported.

I hesitate to support an unpleasant regime but there’s historic logic in what Zoltan says. Austria-Hungary was never a global trading power like England, France, Spain, Portugal or Netherlands. Western Europe sees immigration through the lens of empire. Hungarians don’t.

Huh! Didn’t know anyone else had even heard Lulu’s version. I’ve had the sax riff stuck in my head for 49 years.

And now Musk has taken the lead, another rich white immigrant buying media assets and using them to wreck US politics.

At this stage I’m totally confident that Trump has done a deal with Putin over the minerals. Trump knows nothing about mining and the Russians do. Trump will sell the deal to Russian interests and take a turn for having set it up. Putin will provide protection.

What we need now is EuDO (European Defence Organisation). This is willing members of EU and NATO so includes UK and Turkey but excludes US, Hungary, Serbia, etc..

The fact is Napoleon and Hitler invaded Russia. Russian fears are not completely unfounded. OTOH, Russia invaded Finland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, all the ‘stans’, Georgia etc. We have moved on. Can Russia?

Starmer and Macron need to *help* Trump. He is under pressure from all sides. Putin (his task master for whatever reason) needs to claim victory; Ukraine needs to retain sovereignty; the broad US public is not ready to abandon Pax Americana; and MAGA needs to claim a win for the President.

Sopel is right. Zelensky was goaded into a shouting match when he should have let the bullies talk themselves out.
There was no deal to be done with a compromised Trump, but Z needs to help Europe align on a plan.
Happily, Trump’s lack of self-control may have been enough to make the case.

Simple. AI will read the mails and generate letters of dismissal for everyone who doesn’t answer positively. The cool thing is, it can stop their paychecks too.

Yes, me too. Apart from the paywalled FT, there aren’t enough primary news posts (or links) in my Bluesky timeline.

Good comparison. As a series of beautifully lit, animated stills Nosferatu was great, but the dialog was banal and the story lacked pace and tension.

Hungary has a GDP the size of Kansas, and Slovakia is the size of Idaho. These are not serious players on the world stage.

Absolutely. US macro economic performance is good, but microeconomics killed Harris’s candidacy. The price of groceries in Alabama trumped GDP.

Same! I often think of the scene in H G Wells’ The Time Machine where, far in the future, there are no humans left, only strange crab-like creatures scavenging the shore by a tranquil sea.
