Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

Putin, an autocrat, passed a Foreign Agents law in 2012.

Orban, an autocrat, uses investigations, tax audits, regulations, and new laws to harass civil organizations in name of sovereignty.

Both sought to intimidate civil society, so that no independent or opposing voices remained.

Which is also why the pro-"peace" faction enjoyed such support in Germany after the invasion. Anything to avoid waking up the bear.

The only credible answer I can think of is that they're worried about Putin testing the boundaries until something serious enough happens to invoke A5, and then several NATO allies just....won't.

Countries do not need “approval” to invoke either Article 4 or 5. That’s the point.

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · Sep 11
? Poland invoked article 4 once already, so hardly ignoring. Matters more that there were NATO planes immediately in the air, shooting down the drones, and that NATo immediately took notice and condemned.

"Accidental" bombings have happened, over and over again for years now, not just in Poland but in Romania, and somehow cooler heads prevailed.

After the drone attack, Poland has invoked Article 4 of NATO.
Note:
a) Article 4 calls for consultation, NOT mutual defense,
b) Not the first time Russia has "accidentally" bombed Poland, nor the 1st time Poland used Article 4
c) Yes, it's a Putin troll; no, it is not an inevitable escalation
Russian drone incursion into Poland will test Nato resolve
Whether the drone incursion was deliberate or accidental, Moscow will be watching Nato's response to it closely.

Every day, my mother carefully boiled milk, bc otherwise we'd be exposed to tuberculosis, massive GI issues, and other pathogen-borne disease.

When we came to the US, you could just drink milk cold! straight from the bottle! with no gross coat to skim!

Welcome to communist-era Poland, y'all.

Boiling milk before use was just what you did. They had dedicated cookware for it. (Specially shaped to contain boil-overs, which milk is really prone to.)

Household hygiene had SERIOUSLY high stakes back before hot running water & pasteurization.

That's… like… why they taught home economics.
Photo of a vintage milk boiler. Kinda looks like a blocky metal teapot with a weird lid.

You’re right. So much better to simulate masturbation in lieu of logic or evidence.

Nice path there from gross generalizations to logical fallacies to middle school. Masterful.

I’m afraid this is just an example of the ecological fallacy: broad conditions do not determine individual behavior.

further, all racists are assholes: but not assholes are racist.

Don’t tell me I’m obtuse: use better logic and arguments if possible.
