Or NATO could simply give Ukraine the ability to shut down Russian airports at will. The bonus is that it would bring the war home to the elite still able to fly to Turkey, Dubai or Thailand at will. And when your country spans 11 time zones, domestic flying is also rather important.

Probably the only thing we hate more than pointless chatter about things of no consequence are Russians, and it's a rather close call.

The USA is going to impose #customsduties, in principle temporary, of 106% on Italian pasta (15%, the basic European rate plus 91%). It was hardly worth #Meloni's efforts to cajole the orange buffoon

Around 30,000 Russian citizens are affected by the new rules. While most managed to comply

The numbers of electric vehicles sold in Europe in 2024 are in:

⚡ 1.45 million new battery-only EVs registered
📈 +32% growth in the total electric fleet
🔋 13.6% of all new car registrations are electric

Europe is going full throttle to a clean future.

link.europa.eu/cNKjkh

A color-coded map of Europe titled "Share of electric vehicles sold in each EU country in 2024," showing the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as a percentage of total new passenger car registrations. The EU average is 13.5%. Countries with the highest shares (>20%, darkest shade) include Sweden (35%), Netherlands (34.5%), Finland (29.5%), Luxembourg (27.4%), Belgium (28%), and Denmark (51%). Other countries like France (16.5%), Portugal (19.9%), and Austria (17.5%) are also in the <20% range. Several Eastern and Southern European countries (including Italy, Spain, Poland, and Czechia) have shares below 10% (the lightest shades).

So it worked in 1776. Why don't you use the same strategy then?

You don't need 330 protests. You need the biggest ever in Washington DC. Optics matter

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”
