Ever noticed the exact date immigration went from noble pioneers heroically setting out to weave their story's thread into the vibrant tapestry of a new nation to a vile invasion by unwashed savages looking to mooch off our golden birthright tends to be the day after the speaker's ancestors arrived?

Venezuela is clearly in the US sphere. It has bought foreign militaries into the US backyard & destabilised the region by laying claim to the territories of its neighbors. They should pledge neutrality and choose a new leader Donald approves of in case he lashes out with nukes.

1 Can't emphasize this enough. EU is home to multiple "second-tier" great powers — who are only "second-tier" because they chose not to make large investments in military capabilities — and is itself an economic & diplomatic great power. NATO is the most powerful security confederation in history.
It sure seems like Vance leads a faction that is enamored of 🇷🇺's cultivated cultural conservative "soft power", reflexively anti-Atlanticist, and stupid enough to think that wedging 🇷🇺-🇨🇳 is a) realistic and b) worth trashing our relationship with the world's third largest economy.

I'm not as optimistic as Alexander but he keeps saying this for months and you know what? He ain't wrong. 😊
The ability of so many analysts, academics and commentators to convince themselves that the United States has all the cards towards Europeans or anyone else even as Trump accelerates the American ship of state towards the rocks of geopolitical reality is one of the wonders of our time.

Why I don't watch bbc anymore....
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

While beter then The current crop of. UK politicians, Major still talk mercantile policies, common markets etc. While that was the main EU idea when he was around making decisions, the EU moved on. It's a first and foremost political and then trade and, soon, military union. UK has to catch up.

Liga.net has the Russian text of Zelenskyy's address to the nation on Trump/Witkoff's Proposal.

Brilliant from @explaintrade.com
And not just Ukraine but Bosnia and Kosovo tomorrow, being attacked by proto-Russians from Serbia
1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.

There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.

So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.

Edi Rama has many flaws, as Albanians of all extractions will happily confirm. But put the man next to British gvmt minister and he is transformed into a world leader of highest standing 😊

Terrific thread, perfectly capturing LLM and AI madness we're living in.
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.

Perfect assessment of LLMs and people using them excessively.
The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

So little patience for the people perfectly content riding the tiger of white resentment and nativism while it was helping them push through tax cuts, who now stare at it running loose and feral in the streets and are like, "the left should reflect on how it let things get this far."

For (most of) us Europeans, a bleedin obvious fact. But rather depressing witnessing the Anglo-Saxon minds being unable (unwilling?) to see it, too.
I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.

🇪🇺🛣️ On November 19, the European Commission will present a package of proposals that will transform EU logistics into military artery. The goal is to ensure the immediate transfer of weapons and personnel.

Poland, Germany, Romania, the Netherlands and the Baltic states will become key transit nodes.

If D66 wins, as it seems to be, thanks to the votes from abroad, we will be hearing for years about "stolen" elections and fraud and eff knows what from fascists.

These loonies are right when they claim that it takes two to war. What they don't (want) to understand is that it takes only one to genocide.
