The only U.S. heavy icebreaker turns 50. That's an interesting landmark given recent U.S. criticism of other countries for not taking Arctic security seriously.
USCGC Polar Star, the U.S. Coast Guard’s only heavy icebreaker, turns 50. All U.S. military icebreakers are part of the Coast Guard; the Navy does not operate any vessels of this type.

Americans have a distorted political self-image.
They believe they have strong checks-and-balances - they don't.
They think they're prone to rebel against authority - obedience is the norm.
Domestic politics is played as if harmful foreign actors had no vote - by hook and by crook, they do.

The alliance with America can only be considered reliable again if Europeans manage to rebalance it through self-reliance that removes dependence on the US and see a critical reassessment US strategic culture by American partners.

One of many reasons America is turning away from corporate media is because of its normopathy— a pathological insistence on trying to crowbar events into a recognizable narrative that conforms to things that have happened before. But the playbook has been fucking BLOWN UP, media.

Blöde Arroganz aus Deutschland: Griechenland schafft Kohleausstieg zuerst und steigt schon 2026 aus der Kohle aus. In den 1990ern waren es noch 80 % Kohlestrom. Während bei uns Energieministerin Katherina Reiche die Erneuerbaren ausbremst, setzt Griechenland auf Sonne, Speicher und Rechenzentren.

Perhaps the greatest irony of Putin's strategy of disrupting the rules-based global order to restore Russian greatness is that his successors are likely to discover that the disappearance of those rules leaves Russia more exposed to the opportunistic ambitions of stronger powers

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

It's a terrible situation. Anybody with an inkling of history understands the gears that have been set in motion. Gravity will do the rest.

Some smart people were blaring alarm sirens in 2001 that allowing the President to do anything he wants as long as he designates it as an anti-terrorist operation will come back someday, well, it just did.

Decoupling economic equality, social justice, and drivers of climate change was THE single best PR stunt in the last 40 years. It became an individual problem (carbon footprint, frugal lifestyle), coupled with individual guilt of the middle classes.
When in fact it’s systemic. And driven by 5-10%.

I miss moderate centrists, who don’t claim to have all the answers, who don’t ascribe to either extreme ideologies or supposedly god-given rules to try and control other people, and who try to work together to settle problems aware of their own limitations. Where have they gone?

That is the true threat: disordered counterpublics are no longer fringe. They are reshaping institutions themselves. Figures like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard act as bridges, pulling epistemic closure into the democratic system, corroding it from within.

Any "guarantee" that is not part of a war plan against Russia and a willingness to endure the hardships of war until that victory is achieved is no guarantee but empty talk.
Please keep this in mind when discussing the "peace" farce of 2025.
