You do your best to warn someone about something because you're a decent person, sure, but there’s another reason too: you know that down the road, the certainty of having done your best will be the only thing that gets you through the night.

In lieu of the recent strategy report from Trump & Co this is a good article explaining how to deal with this admin as a whole. I have extensive experience dealing with narcissistic individuals so I find this doubly interesting on both professional and personal levels.

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

What's often missed about early mass surveillance (e.g. Germany + Berlin during the cold war) is that the wiretaps etc. were far less essential and successful than human informants and people who turned in family + neighbors.
This remains largely true of dragnet surveillance today.

Finland 1939 vs. Ukraine 2022.
Soviet forces invaded Finland on 30 Nov 1939, while claiming not to threaten Finnish sovereignty. The Soviet goal was to march into Helsinki & seize control. The attempt was stopped by fierce resistance, much like the march into Kyiv in 2022.

Today I visited the concentration camp (Thereseinstadt) where my ggrandfather was imprisoned. It's something I fairly consciously avoided doing in the 12 years I lived in Europe. It was, as you may imagine, a fairly emotionally charged thing for me.

My daughter asked me what I want for Christmas and I answered at once without thinking: a complete, all-episodes collection of "Killing Eve" soundtracks. She said, "What?" I couldn't think of anything to say, so I laughed.
I was as surprized as she was. 😂
(But that's what I want.)
