had a very nice time guest teaching on Chinese organizational culture and how it affects foreign policy tonight. a couple more slides since people enjoyed the last one.
At a mid-size State-owned enterprise, there are specialist staff that work across multiple departments, and are necessary for the daily function of the business. When one of the staff is absent due to illness or vacation, the procedure to cover them is this: they tell their section chief, their section chief tells the boss, the boss tells another section chief to provide a specialist to cover them, the section chief tells that specialist.

A newcomer proposes a board hung in public where the names of people off that day can be written, and everyone can clearly see who is covering them. It is immediately rejected. Why? The Detroit city government is attempting to build trade and business ties with Hebei. A key document must be stamped by three different officials at a single meeting. The officials work in the same building. Why does getting the meeting take months? In 2014, the Sunflower Movement explodes in Taiwan, driving a wave of anti-mainland politics that continues to this day. Beijing has a Taiwan Affairs Office which maintains an extensive intelligence network in Taiwan, and Taiwan’s politics are open and widely covered. Why is Beijing blindsided by Sunflower?

And so it begins.
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is now accusing Moldova and the Baltic States of passing "racist" laws and discriminating against Russians — a narrative that mirrors Kremlin rhetoric before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Institute for the Study of War warns this may be part of Russia's "Phase Zero" strategy, aimed at laying psychological and informational groundwork for future aggression. Lavrov also revived the "neo-Nazi" trope and slammed international observers for allegedly ignoring the situation.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...
WSJ Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions. Another Trump donor, Stephen P. Lynch, paid $600,000 this year to a lobbyist close to Trump Jr. who is helping him seek a Treasury Department license to buy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from a Russian state-owned company. One sign that he may be serious is that some of his most-trusted friends, sanctioned billionaires from his St. Petersburg hometown-Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk and the Rotenberg brothers, Boris and Arkady-have sent representatives to quietly meet American companies to explore rare-earth mining and energy deals, according to people familiar with the meetings and European security officials. That includes reviving the giant Nord Stream pipeline, sabotaged by Ukrainian tactical divers, and under European Union sanctions. Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil met with Russia's biggest state energy company, Rosneft, to discuss returning to the massive Sakhalin gas project if Moscow and Washington gave the green light.

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats
As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization. The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them. Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command. Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back.

Just like that. After a week of frantic diplomacy and U.S. threats against Ukraine, Putin rejects ANY agreement.

The only path forward is pressure on Russia to change this stance—sanctions and resumed US military assistance to Ukraine. Otherwise, the last 10 months were a waste.

This is Adriana, she was only 12-year-old. She died in hospital today. The girl was wounded on November 19, when Russia struck residential buildings in Ternopil with missiles. That same attack killed her mother🕯

This brings death tall in russian attack on Ternopil to 35.

Yes, russia is indeed rapidly rebuilding its missile arsenal. The problem is that the "solution" being offered — pausing the war & restoring economic ties with russia, giving it back most of frozen assets, lifting sanctions, rewarding for war crimes — will only accelerate that buildup.

what the fuck
Lammy’s reforms would cover all prosecutions, including those brought by the Serious Fraud Office and the Environment Agency. It is anticipated that the government will also remove the automatic right to appeal against convictions. Magistrates are set to have their sentencing powers significantly increased from the maximum prison term of six months to 24 months. Under the heading “what do these proposals mean for your department?”, Lammy told government departments that the plans would not compromise suspects’ rights and suggested that “there is no right to trial by jury”. The move marks a departure from Lammy’s past views. In a social media comment posted five years ago, he said: “Trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea.”

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀
By and large, however, the allegations against the other social media platforms are less detailed than those against Meta. The internal documents cited by the plaintiffs allege: Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as “a very, very, very high strike threshold." Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.
