A pair of Ukrainian Mi-8MTVs, accompanied by a pair of Mi-24Vs, fly at ultra-low altitude over a snow-covered highway. Without GPS signals, the pilots choose routes along familiar roads to better navigate the terrain.

That moment when childhood curiosity turns into surprisingly deep questions about life and time 🌌 Calvin always asked what we didn’t know how to say yet.

The only time NATO Article 5 has been enacted was for the US after 9/11.
I stood on Ramp Ceremonies for 26 Canadians. And the Multinational Role 3 team fought like hell to save coalition lives. American, NATO, and the greater coalition.
Don't fucking tell me we stood back. We fucking stood up.

I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

Interested! As much as I it like here on Bluesky, the US government can still gain access to everything here, and I am supporting US tech when I really, really want a European tech eco-sphere to develop. Launching this month.
We'll soon have @eurosky.social as an alternative to Bluesky.
We already have many Mastodon instances to choose from (I'm on mas.to).
But, for greater impact, we need to target US Big Tech and US financial services.

You could also say: the gap between what European leaders have been saying among themselves and what they said in public is narrowing. Which is a really good thing. That gap is democratically unsustainable and strategically debilitating.
Macron now refers to "intimidation or threat", explicitly comparing US behaviour in Greenland to Russia's approach to Ukraine. Sweden's PM says: "We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed". Much, tougher language from Europeans than we have seen before, responding to the US escalation.

Hallo, mijn naam is Rob de Wijk en ik heb het soort lef dat mensen in leiderschapsposities in Nederland nu moeten tonen.
Dit illustreert scherp hoe snel de panelen nu schuiven. De Wijk had altijd een Amerikaanse vlag op zijn voorhoofd.

Three years ago, Ukrainian POW Oleksandr Matsievskyi was murdered after being captured near Bakhmut.
Forced to dig his own grave and told to say final words, he instead calmly said:
“Glory to Ukraine.”
A symbol of dignity and defiance.
