For a brand new project that I'm working on with some very interesting lawyers:
#Lawsky and Bluesky lawyers: who are the folks (profs and practitioners) with the strongest expertise in int'l civil and criminal tribunals that held former government officials accountable for crimes against humanity?

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

People are still acting like Russian apologists over the boat incident today...so I think it's important people read the UK Defence Secretary's statement he was able to make this evening in the House of Commons.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.
Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Here's another example of a former friendly country coming to grips with the reality that they can't trust the USA under the current regime. It is hard to imagine that their trust will be restored even if there is a regime change in 2028. Nobody likes to get whiplashed.
“The Swiss army…was even interested in the purchase of Palantir software last year. An internal report shows that the fear that Palantir will pass on confidential data of the Swiss army to the American intelligence services CIA & NSA prevented the army staff from continuing the project.” 12/8/25…1/
