I manage risk and firmly believe that it ιs better to be lucky than smart. Look for symmetry, be guided by beauty, do the right thing. DT, LFC, DPT, ITV, CL. I come here after many years in that other place.
communication with the rest of Europe has been smoother than ever before. The two entities are interconnected in ways which push them closer together and this will probably increase as the older generation dies.

This is a good point however, what preceded the goal we conceded was a drop in intensity. From back to front.
Consistently the passes especially from back, are at a slower pace that need be. And this has not to do with making sure of accuracy of the pass. Once we conceded the speed picked up.

Correct.
These are some of the measures.
And let me point out that taking measures has another positive effect. It pushes out from the reactive state of mind to the proactive one.
Are we being undermined, yes or no?
If not let us give what is asked of us.
If yes, then respond.

Why assume that he cares about alliances?
What evidence do you have that he wants the ones he inherited, to remain as they are?
Why should one not take his utterings literally as he tells us that he wants the US be unshackled by treaties and international law on which all alliances are based upon?

Imo your assessment is based on the wrong assumption that he ought to appreciate others' concerns. A kleptocratic, bullying regime, a law evading regime on its way to becoming autocratic, does not consider the constraints of other governments. It responds only to the opposites raising the ante

one way until now. There is the element of reciprocity, as well.

I would phrase it differently. Make our American friends understand very clearly that such demands will bring along respective pushbacks from their allies. And these responses need to increase in size/depth/relevance so as to become harmful to the interests of our friends. Harm has been coming

Good point!
As all parabolic movements which implode by definition. The aim cannot be to time the top but to create a favourable and realistic R/R, knowing full well that it will probably throw you off course along the way.

I agree with your summary of what took place.
I was not aware that she volunteered as a monitor/legal observer. The reports that i have come across say was that she was simply in the area going on about her everyday life.
Thanks.

Excuse me, but what kind of activism are you talking about?
As far as we know a big part of the tragedy is that she was a normal mother, not engaged in anti ICE protests, living in the neighbourhood, going on her everyday life, not resisting, when she was murdered with no provocation. Am I wrong?

Well, all I will say is that you are not afraid to share your frank feelings during the heat of the game :)

Otto will not comment on this but I do not understand why he finds it terrifying or even unusual that nobody learns lessons from the past. First of all this is patently untrue. People do, he is one of them. Secondly when in human history, terrible experiences of same magnitude have ever be turned
