Really bad news. And completely irresponsible given where we are.
Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Water problems is not something happening in less developed parts of the world. Its a massive problem in Europe as well. I dream of the day when mankind again puts its focus on such problems instead of ballrooms and large egos.

Jeg kan ikke læse nedenstående men det er klart at Europa ikke kan leve op til det der kræves i forbindelse situationen i Ukraine. Men er det rimeligt at kalde det et svigt, og hvad er årsagen? I mine øjne er den langsomme integration i EU årsagen til man ikke kan levere. Gæt selv hvad det kommer af
Bare kald det ”fred i Trumps tid”, men det handler lige så meget om Europas svigt

Desværre har Kasparov nogle rigtigt gode pointer. I sidste ende handler det om hvorvidt "vi" er villige til at dø i kampen for frihed. "Vi" defineret som os selv, døtre, sønner, ægtefæller og alle naboerne mv.
Jeg er optimistisk for at at vi tager kampen op hvis det gælder, men tvivlen er der.

Sigh. It should not be surprising at all, but the realities of the Trump era takes time to take in. I hope othersin Europe are more agile than me.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Quite interesting. While clearly Exxon, in this case, tries greenwash their specific operation, chemical recycling will be necessary for circular economy in the future. Polymers are VERY diverse and some very stable. Its unlikely that sorting of plastic waste can fulfil circular economy goals.
