Vil stærk anbefale dette podcast.

Anders og Kasper fremlægger på klar måde nogle af de største trusler samt de mulige konsekvenser vi står overfor. Nato, EU og atomvåben er alle emner der tages op, ud over selvfølgelig også Ukraine.

I overmorgen udkommer Krigens Politik. Hvis man gerne vil høre lidt om bogen, før man kaster sine surt tjente lønkroner efter den, har @anderspucknielsen.dk og jeg taget en snak om indholdet i seneste udgave af @krigskunst.dk.

Krigens Politik — Hvor tæt er vi på krig i Europa?

We really need new leadership in European. Actual leaders, not the kind of elected managers that we have now.

Per Nielsen @perwagner.bsky.social · 16h

I'm pretty sure no European country would be willing to either shoot down or force Putin's plane to land. As you say, tantamount to a declaration of war, something European states have been unwilling to consider under any circumstances.

I like the tougher retorik, but I think I can guarantee that Putin will not be arrested.

I have half an hour before my next interview so I'm going to sketch out what I find an important problem with the fashionable division of immigrants into "net contributors" and "net recipients" of government spending. 1/10

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 17h

The argument of Lam, Philp and Badenoch would be "tell the net contributors they can stay & tell the others we are v sad to kick them out"

Maybe they would have retreated just on pragmatic reciprocity, though Lam is willing to forget about that in what she says here about her mass expulsion plans

"Russia does not need to outgun NATO; it only needs to outlast it"

The Long War: Fighting Beyond the First Battle

It is irresponsible to conceal the prospect of war from a population you will call on for second and third echelon reinforcements, for whom survival hinges on preparation.

"Shooting down an unidentified drone is only allowed in extreme circumstances"...

I'll read the article first the next time...

Per Nielsen @perwagner.bsky.social · 1d

Would the current policy mean, that if an actor conducted an attract similar to what the Ukrainian did to Russia on 1 June, the military couldn't shoot down the drones?

Journalists ought to be reporting more on the accident (tbc) aboard the shadow fleet tanker Falcon. How it demonstrates the increased risks of these aging and uninsured ships. This could as easily have happened in Baltic or North Sea. And who would have covered the environmental clean up?

It makes no sense to talk with Putin, and it makes no sense going to the white house and talk to trump...

“Putin fears only his own society. He wants to remain president until death.. and to do that, he needs public support,” Zelensky said. “That’s why he’s counting on prolonging this war.”

“To preserve this peace, we must be prepared for a possible war both morally and militarily. A change of mentality is needed: we must go into war mode to resolutely deter, protect and maintain peace."

"Two of Trump's three wives were immigrants — proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs even Americans are not willing to do."

That is a serious burn right there :)

Dear Europe, especially Germany,

Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.

Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.

Europe must defend Europe.

Trump admits that he asked Putin for permission to send Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine and Putin told Trump "no."

What can Trump do? Putin is the boss.

"I'm a Russian man, we're  f**ng killing you [Ukrainians] b**ches." A Russian-speaking man attacked a Ukrainian family on a Swiss train simply because he heard them speaking Ukrainian.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry described the video as "unacceptable hate speech and ethnic hatred."⤵️
