🇪🇺🇧🇪 The EU is questioning Belgium over opaque use of taxes generated from frozen Russian assets, demanding clarity on whether those funds are reaching Ukraine, as promised. Diplomats worry Belgium may be keeping the money for itself, rather than forwarding all proceeds to Kyiv.

Belgian PM raises stakes on Kyiv lifeline, renewing opposition to Russian frozen-assets reparations loan

Europe in dangerous territory. Putting democratic protections on the chopping blocks for trade concessions invites a slippery slope. Increasingly tariff negotiations cuts at the heart of European national security.

There is a lot of talk about higher defense spending in NATO, but I think many politicians have failed to explain adequately why that is necessary. So in this video I explain what is at stake for citizens in Western European countries.

The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

I sincerely call on everyone to support Ukraine’s defenders, so more Ukrainians can live in safety and freedom, continue building and reforming a democratic, independent Ukraine, and so that Russia is defeated and no longer a military or destabilizing threat to Europe or anyone.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

'Nancy with Feather Hat,' (1910) is a portrait of William Nicholson's daughter. Nancy was a painter and fabric designer and owed much of the style of her early designs to her mother, Mabel Pryde. In January 1918, she married the soldier-poet Robert Graves.

The struggle for freedom and respect for the law is the same in the USA, Ukraine and all of Europe. You cant say you stand with Ukraine and want freedom and rule of law there, and then turn around and praise Trump and ignore his massive corruption. There is only one side--pick yours.

And the driving logic is no longer political but geopolitical: If the EU lets its regulatory mission of protecting Europeans get in the way of its corporate giants' ability to compete globally, Europe will end up being served on the table rather than seated at it.
