Trump på pressemøde mandag: "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business ... You're telling me about it for the first time." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

På Boeing må de have en rusten smag i munden: Donald Trump tildeler dem æren og fortjenesten ved at producere den kommende F-47, opkaldt efter ham (47. præsident), for derefter at sige, at den kan nedgraderes, når den sælges til allierede lande, for "en dag er de måske ikke vores allierede mere."
Trump: We'll sell our allies toned down military planes, because someday, maybe they're not our allies.

America, what have you become?

Gukesh Dommaraju (18) of India can become the only 18th World Chess Champion in history, and the youngest by far, when he takes on champion Ding Liren of China over 14 games, starting November 25th 2024 in Singapore. Garry Kasparov was 22 when he beat Anatoly Karpov for the title in 1985.

"Just to be clear: Ukraine has everything it needs to build nuclear weapons. They have the know-how, they have the technology, and they have the production facilities. And if Ukraine starts walking down this path, then we are probably talking about a time frame that should be measured in months.”
The West has to take Ukraine's demand for security guarantees more seriously if we want the war to end. That is my topic in this video, where I also explain the victory plan which has been widely misunderstood in the West.

Situationen virker højspændt i Kattegat.
I think CN ship Yi Peng 3 is being detained. Suspect in cable incidents.

She slowed down to a crawl in Kattegatt, manouvered to 400 meters inside DK territory. DK navy patrol P525 to her port.

Guess: she is detained, awaiting either DE, FI or SE staff since they are the countries affected.

What the...?! Am I being vetted for a position in the Trump administration? Yeah, that must be it.
