Wir sollten umgehend ein massives Förder-Programm auflegen, um den Brain Drain aus den USA in unsere Richtung zu lenken. Es wäre nichts verwerfliches daran, WissenschaftlerInnen aus den USA zu uns zu locken. Ich mein:

„We’re just giving them a better deal, a beautiful deal 🫲🫱“

Get everyone you care about on Signal. Do not hesitate. This is deadly serious.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

The American president turns up the hard talk on Russia, and suddenly Putin is kind as a sheep. Shocker. Who would have thought after all this talk about nuclear Armageddon?

Its finally dawning on people in Europe (it should have years ago) that a huge amount of their security has been outsourced to the USA and based on the assumption that the USA would never change.
Now that this is shown to be a mistake, they dont know how to react.

2/2 Für seinen billigen Machterhalt opfert er letztendlich auch westliche Werte. Söder ist und bleibt einfach ein kleinkarierter Regionalfürst mit rein egoistischem Machtstreben.

Whatever the calamities of climate change, they will pale against the calamities the evil of an undefeated Russian Imperialism will bring, at least for the children of Europe. Unfortunately for the children of Europe, their politicians and elders appear to be uninterested in solving either.

I think the time has come for more active measures in response to the Russian unconventional campaign against NATO.

Putin hat keine Kapazitäten neben dem Krieg in der 🇺🇦 auch Assad zu stützen.
Aber der Kanzler fürchtet er macht gleich eine zweite Front gegen 🇩🇪 und die NATO auf, wenn man nicht "besonnen" genug sei.
Kommt nur mir das absurd vor?

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.
Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

The incoming FBI Director is already issuing legal threats for TV commentary. this is outreagoues and ominous

It is deeply unproductive to peace that large parts of the western MSM continue to parrot the claims of Russian military and economic strength.

The rotten core of the Russian economy is starting to show through cracks and highlighting it is important for future negotiations.

Is this a bad joke?

Scholz goes from being a liability to being downright dangerous. He must be ousted in February.

"In practice, the Biden administration has treated the Ukraine conflict like a crisis to be managed, not a war to be won. The administration doesn’t seem to understand that Russia can be beaten."

This analysis from @timothysnyder.bsky.social is now exactly 10 years old and still blows my mind...
