Ninety years ago, someone in #Germany also wanted to establish a "Thousand-Year Reich" in order to propagate a permanent, eternal state. 🤷‍♂️

We all know how that ended!

If missiles hitting European homes aren’t a reason,
then neither is an invading army.

But don’t worry — we must avoid “escalation.”

#NATO

If one drone over #Poland isn’t a reason to react,
then neither are ten.

If drones aren’t a reason,
then neither are fighter jets.

If jets aren’t a reason,
then neither are their missiles.

Die Eleganz der #Politik besteht darin, #Sprache so zu gebrauchen, dass sie Horizonte öffnet, nicht schließt; dass sie differenziert, nicht vergröbert; dass sie Menschen sichtbar macht, statt sie unsichtbar zu machen.

Julia Klöckner und die Medien: Postfaktische Presseschau

Julia Klöckner bestreitet, taz mit Nius verglichen zu haben – dabei gibt es sogar Aufnahmen von der Rede. Von der Politikerin ist man leider nichts anderes gewohnt.

Big takeaway: #Sikorski is pressing #Berlin to lead.
If #Germany backed even a limited no-fly zone over western Ukraine, it could set a precedent for #NATO’s role in the war.

On #Germany:
👉 Praises recent defense policy shifts.
👉 Warns: “We lost two years of Russian aggression — much talk, little action. Now Putin is testing our patience. We must not waste more time.”

He also urged 🇩🇪Germany & NATO to set up a North Sea control zone against Russia’s “shadow fleet” of old oil tankers sneaking out of the Baltic.
⚠️ Environmental risk = huge. Deepwater Horizon cleanup cost $82B. Two Russian ships already leaked fuel.

#Sikorski:
👉 “#Ukraine is far ahead in drone defense. They fight hundreds daily. We must learn from them.”
👉 #NATO/#EU can enforce a no-fly zone. Poland cannot do it alone.
👉 “If #Ukraine asked us to shoot down drones, it would be in our interest.”

🇵🇱 Polish FM Radosław @radek-sikorski.bsky.social has become the first senior European politician to call for considering a no-fly zone over #Ukraine to shoot down Russian drones.
Interview with #FAZ — clearly aimed at #Berlin.

Political competition will increasingly elevate those who are prepared to confront this threat effectively.

Boris-Alexander Beissner @borisbeissner.bsky.social · Sep 15

A solution will be neither simple nor free of conflict, and retreat or avoidance will not be sustainable in the long run.
What is required are political actors who act decisively and strategically, rather than relying on vague rhetoric.

Russian policy is characterized by power ambitions, disinformation, and the use of violence. A fundamental change in this behavior is unlikely in the foreseeable future. As a result, dealing with Russia will become one of the central political challenges of the coming decades.

In the coming years, the political relevance of leaders will increasingly be measured by how consistently they recognize and respond to the threat posed by #russia. The invasion of #Ukraine has made it clear that this was not an isolated event, but part of a broader, long-term pattern.

"This week, 8,000 soldiers from both countries have been killed. More from #russia, but when you're the aggressor, you usually lose more," Trump commented on the losses on both sides.

Boris-Alexander Beissner @borisbeissner.bsky.social · Sep 15

After several months of denial, #Trump has finally recognised #russia as the "aggressor" in the war against #Ukraine!

#russia’s war is like a rocket tracing the infinity symbol: loud, destructive, but going nowhere. Instead of gaining greatness, the country is burning its own future in an endless loop of self-destruction.

Smart people avoiding you isn’t a mistake. It’s natural selection.
