🇩🇪🇺🇦 Merz: This is a Russian war of aggression against Ukraine — and against Europe. And if Ukraine falls, it will not stop.
Just as in 1938, the Sudetenland was not enough. Putin will not stop.

Yes, Russia is hanging on by a thread and, sticking to its maximalist positions, is counting precisely on a split in the Western camp and on Trump. It is appalling that Trump does not understand this, and there is no one to explain it to him.
One Russian paper today sees "a split in the Western camp. This is objectively good for Russia.” Other papers: “crisis” in metals industry & “more than 40% of working Russians surveyed have barely enough/not enough money before payday for food & essential goods.” #ReadingRussia

In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

Something has changed. A side of America that most Europeans never encountered face to face is now in charge. Europe had a decade of warnings and the first Trump Administration to prepare for this. We chose not to.
To meet this moment and secure our future, we must also change.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Louis van Gaal ziet een kabinet met nerds wel zitten: Ik vind dat zij al van dag 1 zich zeer verbindend hebben opgesteld opgesteld. Daar gaat het om. De vraag is of de rest van de kamer dat ook kan. Het is hoopvol: deze twee mensen staan open voor andere meningen. #tussenverslag

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

De fiets is het meest efficiënte (en gezonde) vervoermiddel dat we kennen. Het aantal kilometer (solitaire) fietswegen groeit echter niet of nauwelijks (+0,4% vorig jaar), zelfs minder dan de NL bevolking (+0,5%).

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
