Lassen wir die normativen Begründungen für die Unterstützung der Ukraine beiseite – europäische Friedensordnung, UN-Charta etc. Warum spielt das einfachste Argument keine Rolle - dass wir die Fähigkeiten der Ukraine in moderner Kriegsführung in unserem Lager haben müssen, nicht in dem unsere Feinde?

This is Metsokangas elementary school in the far suburbs of Oulu . It was -31°C in the morning (-40° windchill). What you see here is just 1 of the 4 parking lots for students. It's not about the cold, it's the safe infrastructure & excellent maintenance. No rocket science.

“NATO was built to fight only one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country fighting this war — and we’re still discussing, ‘Should we include them or not?’ Ukraine is the only country fulfilling NATO’s destiny!”

Cycling after dark is part of everyday life here, but it still raises real concerns. This week I look at what helps people feel safe on those night-time rides – from lighting to travelling together.

Cycling safely after dark
We have entered the darker months again, and that inevitably makes cycling a little more precarious. Safety after sunset has two sides: being visible to others and feeling socially safe. As cyclists we cannot lock ourselves in, as one might in a car, so the environment matters all the more. Being visible is straightforward. A working front and rear light, together with the legally required reflectors, is usually enough.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Utrecht is a great example of somewhere that's never good enough. I've been visiting for nearly a decade and there's something new every time and I'm not talking about tweaks either.
Dutch liveability isn't a one-off project, it's a long term commitment.

New post with video: an evening rush hour ride through Utrecht’s centre. Two spots already changed since May — a detour gone after 11 years and a junction turning roundabout.
Rush Hour Ride in Utrecht; a city that doesn’t stand still.
About four months ago I filmed a ride straight through Utrecht during the evening rush hour. I knew I wouldn’t have much time later in the year, so I wanted to prepare some material in advance. I should have realised, though, that Utrecht changes far too quickly for that approach to work. In this relatively short ride, two locations had already changed considerably since May.

Militarily, most of its countries are underprepared—and we don’t have 5 years to fix that.
If we fail to help Ukraine win decisively, russian aggression will spread beyond its borders.
