Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

Donald Trump, dinner at Windsor. THAT is the most deranged speech I have ever heard from any American president. The guy is clearly mentally ill.

Denne var veldig bra. Støre er stødig. Det er dette som formatet vi bør strebe etter, ikke #Debatten. Jeg anbefaler deg å gi en time til Støre og The Rest is Politics. Det var interessant.

Og jeg ble faktisk litt stolt. Han er en god norgesambassadør.

‘His inexperience shines through’: Steve Witkoff struggles to manage Russia as Trump peace envoy
Witkoff’s solo approach has led to repeated miscues with Russia, leaving Trump’s pledge to quickly end the war between Russia and Ukraine adrift.

“Trump’s march towards authoritarianism is so steady that it’s easy to become inured to it: you can’t be in a state of shock permanently. And besides, sober-minded people are wary of sounding hyperbolic or hysterical: their instinct is to play down rather than scream at the top of their voice.”

Trump’s dictator-like behaviour is so brazen, so blatant, that paradoxically, we discount it. But now it’s time to call it what it is, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Russian foreign ministry clarifies that they will under no circumstances accept NATO soldiers on Ukrainian territory after a peace agreement. So much for Steve Witkoff's claim that Putin had given this concession in Alaska.

Another excellent piece from @alanderminna.bsky.social, and yes, I do read Danish newspapers on a regular basis.
Wrote a little love letter to Denmark 🫶🇩🇰

In good Nordic style, I of course had to dunk on them a little. But the main point is: if all European countries were more like Denmark, Ukraine and Europe would be in a very different place now.

Small State Power: Be Like Denmark
In this week’s Europe Dispatch, Minna Ålander writes about how Denmark is showing that even small states can punch far above their weight and lead by example.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

We keep asking, why do these people vote against their own interests, as if the answer were a riddle or a trick of ignorance.

But we know the truth.
