On my way back home from London, where I had the pleasure of being the external examiner of an excellent PhD thesis at UCL. And I also allowed myself to take two 25 km-walks - one after midnight and one this morning. Here are some sights.

Last week I took my students on a field trip to Stockholm. Stockholm was more beautiful than I have ever seen it before (and I used to live there). The last picture is from Solna, so technically not Stockholm.

Basically, she partially blames Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine on Poland and the Baltics.

If this isn't taken out of context, it shows that Merkel still doesn't understand much about Russia: www.unian.ua/world/viyna-....
Меркель звинуватила Польщу і країни Балтії у вторгненні Путіна в Україну
Меркель також заявила, що початку війни в Україні сприяла пандемія COVID-19.

Massive Russian missile and drone attack on #Ukraine last night. Russia used different types of cruise missiles, Kinzhal missiles and drones on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian objects. Western regions of Ukraine were under the most intense attack.

◾️Lviv and Lviv region: massive attack.

Recenserar Martin Kraghs "Historiens återkomst" i GP.
Boken om Europas moderna historia är både folkbildande och rykande aktuell. Men allt mer kommer Europa behöva titta bortom den egna kontinenten för att förstå framtidens säkerhetspolitiska utmaningar.

Recension: ”Historiens återkomst“ är lysande och rykande aktuell
Martin Kragh skriver briljant om en kontinent som inte längre styr världen.

Please, please, please, people of Czechia. Do the right thing. Don't let yourself be fooled, and don't stop supporting Ukraine. You can be next.

⚡️ Russia keeps targeting farms in Ukraine.

A Russian drone strike on a Kharkiv region killed 13,000 pigs and destroyed 8 of 10 barns after deliberate hits on livestock shelters.

So basically the US is just Russia, but with leaders that are not only evil but also dumb.

Over the past century and a half, the US military has developed an entire body of law relating to the legitimate use of force that Hegseth completely erases here. To most in the armed forces, it is important to have a code of ethics (no matter how imperfect). Otherwise they are just hired killers.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

I can't help but fear that the US (i.e. Trump and his sycophantic cabinet, Hegseth in primis) are cooking up something really reckless on the international scene.

I agree, but this isn't about managing Ukrainians in Poland. It's symbol politics vs. Ukraine, a way of turning up the temperature in regard to a memory conflict that needs to be shelved until an entirely independent commission can deal with it. Nawrocki should not be the one opining on this matter.

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.

It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

The November 2024 version of you would be shocked at what the September 2025 version accepts as reality.

”Kommer 🇷🇺 angripa Nato”
”Nej, eftersom 🇷🇺 vet att man kommer förlora” säger ÖB i Agenda.
Trots allt vi sett på senare år och veckor, och trots det Claesson just sagt om hybridkrig så sitter beslutsfattare fast i de gamla språkliga figurerna.
Ryssland angriper oss redan. Det bör vara budskapet.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Cowardice can be defeated. But people serving as good examples are needed if other people's cowardice is to be overcome. 5/
