Thucydides thought that one of the causes of the Peloponnesian War was that a new generation of young men in Sparta and Athens had never had the experience of war, and were therefore eager to try one of their own.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

NEW: The House of Parliament’s Work & Pensions Committee is launching an inquiry into the govt’s welfare reforms. This is good news! It doesn’t stop the fight—it makes it more vital. But it is significant, and it’s thanks to your tireless campaigning & the testimony so many of you have shared.

The notion that Elon Musk leaving DOGE to save Tesla...

US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally
U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers.
What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions.
It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration?
Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta.
This is why you always follow the money.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Very interesting article on an internal proposal in the UKG. Fair to say a lot of people are going to be quite annoyed with this.
What we're getting to is the core of what the new relationship between Europe and the UK will be based on.

The orange felon placed tariffs on uninhabited islands with penguins and a U.S. military base but not Putin’s Russia.
When Hillary Clinton called him Putin’s puppet she meant it literally, not figuratively or as a metaphor. If only she and Kamala Harris hadn’t been ignored.

Chloe Hayden was getting crap the other day for using the phrase "high-functioning", but it was in the context of being "high-functioning *today*" and I wonder how much was cut out of that clip explaining what she actually meant.
