It's so funny to me that the 🇺🇸 response to cricket after the 🇬🇧 war was to create baseball as an "ungentlemanly" response.

Instead 🇦🇺, a ruder, rougher, unpolished gem of a people ... said "Yea, nah... let's just beat the piss out of these Poms, burn their stumps, and keep it as the trophy."

One Admiral resigned rather than carry out an illegal order, while the other Admiral followed those orders. One Admiral has no job, but he has his dignity and our respect, while the other needs a lawyer and a pardon

1/2 This reads as if it were written in Moscow: Europe portrayed as weak, rudderless, and ripe for “correction,” while Russian aggression is quietly brushed aside. This isn’t strategy but ideological intimidation. Europe will be shaped by neither Washington nor the Kremlin.

2/2 This NSS isn’t analysis but projection: Europe is depicted as frail so Washington and Moscow can both exert pressure. “Patriotic parties” as leverage, Russia excused, this is influence in its purest, most cynical form.

to be fair, the book dated from 1924 and its title was Mein Kampf and was written in Landsberg am Lech. But you are correct, its content was then transferred into ruling from Berlin.

This new US "NSS" reads as if it was written in Moscow. Just like the "Peace Plan". Dark times.

The document does not condemn Russia‘s invasion. But the majority of Europeans wants peace. And this does not get translated into European politics due to the „subversion“ of democratic processes. Can I see that Vance speech again?

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Tesla sales are down -12.2% year over year in Europe and down -36.3% if you exclude Norway which has had a surge in sales just before tax benefits for buying premium EVs expire.

Tesla's stock continues to defy gravity as shareholders no longer care about EV sales since it's now robotaxis & robots.

Despite getting his arse kicked stupid by Ukraine Vladimir Putin has stated that he is “ready for war” with Europe.
