Within the next decade the radical right is going to be the main force on the right in Europe (national and EU level). This includes far-right parties and formerly centre-right parties shifting their position. Moderate conservatism and Christian democracy will largely disappear on the right. 1/
The EU’s centrist powers need to move to the right to reflect the new political reality, the leader of the European People’s Party Manfred Weber has told in an exclusive interview with POLITICO.
Europe shifted right — it’s time centrists do too, says Manfred Weber
EPP chief says he still wants to work with traditional allies, but they need to adapt.

If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.
More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.
i feel like if the president actually went through with invading greenland, it would implode America

Unusual wording and potentially mistranslated names hint at another Russian false flag operation, this has happened before

Seit Tagen #Stromausfall in Teilen Berlins. Das Bekennerschreiben könnte Hinweise auf russische Saboteure geben. Das Ziel wäre nicht mal die Infrastruktur, sondern Zwietracht säen. Und es wirkt, als sei es ein Selbstläufer. www.berlinstory.de/news/stroma...
Apropos Berlin:

Wer für Vance "Vans" schreibt, kennt den Namen (nur oder vorwiegend) aus der üblichen kyrillischen Schreibung. Ванс.

Und wer Giffey schreibt und gleich in der nächsten Zeile Giffay, kennt auch diesen Namen wohl nur aus der kyrillischen Umschrift. Гифай.

Good that Gen Z gets to experience what Iraq was like for older generations, but somehow dumber.

Assad is a bloodthirsty war criminal. Since he has reportedly left Syria, a few thoughts on exile. In short: He's not necessarily safe just because he has managed to survive another day
The Battle for Damascus is over.

The regime of Bashar al-Assad has fallen.

Syria has been liberated.

Syrian TV says Assad has fled Damascus to an unknown location.

All over.

reminder of how mindbogglingly evil Assad was

I believe the kids call this sort of thing a classic Mearsheimer L

I've already seen Syria used as vindication of the idea you can in fact "remake the Middle East" through force.

But Assad's fall, the weakening of Hezbollah, the humbling of Iran have not remade anything.

They are the equivalent of re-breaking a bone that was poorly set.

It still must re-heal.

I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
