The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

It isn't a plan to end the war. It's a plan to let us regroup so we can invade again.
The plan to end the war in Ukraine doesn’t ensure peace—it ensures profits for Trump’s inner circle.

”He’s got to sell Ukraine to Russia”
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Odottelen edelleen milloin päätös Suomen pitkien miinuskorkoisten valtionlainojen muuttamisesta vaihtuvakorkoisiksi johtaisi virkavastuuseen.
No, jokos virkavastuun toteuttaminen VM:ssä on aloitettu?

I keep saying, Google intentionally making its search worse is a world-historical fumble, and it's a huge opportunity for so many others across the internet, if they'll just seize it..
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Kun Suomi siirtää kriittisiä tietoja ja palveluita amerikkalaisille palvelimille, kannattaisi pitää mielessä, että pääsy niihin tietoihin voidaan koska tahansa evätä Washingtonin yksipuolisella päätöksellä.
The situation these judges are being put in for doing their work is unbelievable. They can’t use any US services - and not just for work, in their private lives too.

Depending on US digital services and infrastructure may not be a good idea for Europe.

X’s New Feature Reveals Why Trust & Safety Work Was Never About The ‘Censorship Industrial Complex’
For the last few years, Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and their allies have spent considerable energy attacking both academic researchers studying disinformation and the trust & safety teams at social media platforms working to identify and remove coordinated inauthentic behavior—particularly foreign influence operations. They've insisted that any attempt to study and limit such operations is actually just "censorship" with various forms of cover, whether academic or operational.

Taloudessa kyse on vain kirjanpidosta, ja voimme muuttaa asioita mielivaltaisella tavalla halutessamme.
Planeettamme fysikaalisissa ja ekologisissa rajoissa on kuitenkin kyse luonnonlaeista, joita emme voi sopia toisiksi.
Talous on siksi asetettava niiden raameihin ja se ei ole valinnaista.

Italy's exports to well-known transshipment hubs like Kyrgyzstan (lhs) and Armenia (rhs) are going through the roof. This is happening more than 3 years after the invasion of Ukraine. You can do this kind of thing, but it makes the EU ineffective as a geopolitical actor. You can't have it both ways.

Like all Europeans, I'm dismayed by what's happening on Ukraine. But - in the end - we have ourselves to blame. For example, if we'd given Russia's frozen reserves to Ukraine, that money wouldn't now be up for grabs. We need a long, hard look in the mirror.

Key provisions of the 'peace plan' depend on all 27 EU members and all 32 NATO members agreeing to them.
Even if Washington and Kremlin could force Ukraine to agree to it, they can't dictate the terms to all of EU and NATO.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.
