Bessent said that the US would counter China together with allies. Allies understand that countering China starts in Ukraine, not by appeasing Putin.

Suomen esimerkki kunnianhimoisesta ilmastopolitiikasta ei enää rohkaise.
Tämä on todella huono uutinen suomalaiselle teknologiateollisuudelle, koska kunnianhimoiset ilmastotoimet ovat vientiyrityksillemme erinomainen referenssi.

Despite what Trump claims, there’s no manufacturing boom—we’ve lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs in just the last month alone and the industry contracted at its fastest pace in the last nine months. The hundreds of billions in investment? Just an “intention”

Donald Trump is such a lazy, simple-minded child, they are going to try to trick him into doing his job by making intelligence briefings, which he routinely ignores/avoids, look like they are on Fox News. Because the one thing Donald likes to do, almost as much as eating McDonald's, is to watch TV.

This is absolutely terrible news.
With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Opinion | Watching ‘Andor’ Is No Substitute for Actual Resistance

Suomen ilmastopolitiikkaa kutsutaan ”kunnianhimoiseksi” – kuulostaa siltä, että vähemmänkin voitaisiin tehdä
Harva kiistää ilmaston lämpenemisen, mutta esimerkiksi metsien hiilinielukeskustelu paljastaa ilmastoviivyttelyn, kirjoittaa Mikko Pelttari.

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.
Absolutely shameful: Witkoff breaks Russian dictator Putin's diplomatic isolation from the Free World. His handshake with the murderous Kremlin tyrant is like a symbol of Washington's abdication of its position as leader of the West.
