Frankly: it is ridiculous that Russia (population circa 145 million, awful demographics, GDP of about the same size as Italy) is a security threat to Europe that requires US help to manage. But it currently is.
Reversing that is the first aim. And very very achievable.

That's like half the population of Bombay, India. Which isn't even the most populous city in the country.

Switzerland will likely vote next year on a controversial proposal to cap its population at 10 million. Here's how it would work
Why Switzerland Is Weighing a 10 Million Population Limit
Growing support for far-right parties is pressuring European governments to introduce stricter controls on immigration. Switzerland is set to vote on a proposal that would take the idea to the next level — imposing a cap on its population.

Great call on $ASML @lex-investor.bsky.social
This is another confirmation of a behavioural bias I've noticed in myself over time.
When it's time to buy my brain comes up with reasons it can go lower and vice versa.

Stared buying $ASML shares today. This is an extremely high quality, cyclical beast. I’m not waiting for market recognition that it’s a deal. Buying low.

Yes!! Traitors US is barely watchable. Among the Survivor series, I've liked the Australian one the most.
I genuinely feel like I learn a lot about both my own country and others through watching the same reality TV or gameshow in different countries, but I also discover that I really don't like the way American reality TV is edited.

Best stay away from windows then?
Classic authoritarian/fascist subsuming of important parts of the private sector more overtly into the state, or at least the talk of it.

So the US decided to just 'run' another country based on self-reported 'commercial' reserves which mysteriously multiplied while under socialist rule?

Nobody should have their citizenship stripped from them, however obnoxious they are, and to be clear, El-Fatteh's tweets are horrendous. But citizenship should be inalienable: did we learn nothing after the second world war?

I think the label “antisemitic” gets thrown around awfully freely, but this is the genuine article:
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.
