The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost.
Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions.
No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

We need to be very careful about using the word "peace" today or to talk about "ending the war". What we will see most likely is Putin and Trump agreeing to a deal that might bring a temporary ceasefire, before Putin rearms and tries again to take over Ukraine. It wont be peace.

Ett av de första besluten Tidöregeringen tog var alltså att skära ner 750 miljoner på järnvägsunderhållet. Och i regeringens långsiktiga infrastrukturplan höjs vägunderhållet med 48% men järnvägsunderhållet bara med 5%

The Euro populist right claims to defend national sovereignty - yet many of its leaders are willing to cede it to Rus.

In reality, theirs is a kind of internationalist nationalism- bound not just by borders, but by shared ideology.

They increasingly share values, goals, and enemies with Putinism.

If you’re not familiar with the term: Gleichschaltung means ‘bringing into line’ and was the process by which the Nazi regime established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society, incl education and culture. US universities are another key target atm. /end

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Here’s a picture of me, a European, security freeloading in Afghanistan as part of a US Army special forces task force.

Look! They even gave me a special “freeloader” badge to wear above my medals.

12 close friends and colleagues killed when they were there freeloading too.

Bluesky is disappointing tonight as there are large scale protests in Turkey but hardly any posts about it here. This is a great place but it’s very “Anglo”. I really don’t want to have to go over to the dark place to get instant updates.

On Ukraine, the United States now votes more in line with Russia than even Algeria. In the entire Middle East-North Africa region, only Sudan and Israel took the American-Russian view and voted No. Most instead abstained or absented themselves, a few backed Ukraine.

Igår berättade vår ukrainska kompis Yulia att hennes gamla lågstadieskola just bombats till grus, ihop med det lilla bageriet intill, där hon och andra barn ibland fick bullar efter skolan. Om nån undrar vad Ryssland håller på med.
