Things I believe:
* Nuclear Power is the solution to global warming
* Social media is a tool for authoritarianism and a threat to civil society
* Crushing Russia in Ukraine will result in peace
* China is an evil empire

A group of young parliamentarians in Germany's CDU is holding up pension reform that locks future generations into onerous payments. This is true leadership for the rest of the EU. Europe's economy can heal itself, but not if it's weighed down by an oversized welfare state. We need more of this...

"Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an “iron fist,” according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial."

Sweden and the Nordics have so much to be proud of and I am in awe. I am the opposite regarding Italy and Spain. These two places demand solidarity at every turn, but when a horrific invasion happens with millions of deaths, they show no solidarity. Neither Spain nor Italy deserve solidarity...

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.

It will end nothing.

Of course not. Because TACO.
For the 1000th time, how to deal with Trump: Show strength. Shape events. Make him react to your move rather than jumping like a scared rabbit whenever he says something nuts.
Europe’s consistent failure to do so only encourages more American madness.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

This is all so obvious, and yet needs to be constantly repeated. Russia is a tyrannical regime, guilty of mass murder and war crimes in Ukraine.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.

And rightly so. It’s amazing that the small ones have punched so far above their weight, but inexcusable that the bigger ones haven’t followed suit. There simply are capacity limits for the small ones.
