It's very funny how many people read a Wikipedia (or worse, Google AI) summary about Orientalism by Edward Said and come away thinking he was just some fanatic who loathed all things Western. Said liked all the Western novels, liked all the Wester movies, liked Western dress, liked Western customs.

Starlink has become synonymous with censorship-proof internet connectivity. But Iran's military-grade GPS jammers have proved that assumption wrong

It amazes me that so-called "serious folk" in the US are failing to realise that the next two generations of European policymakers are going to be incredibly more inclined towards anti-Americanism than any generation since the interwar era.
Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

The fact that NATO allies are having to send military forces to a NATO territory to defend it from a NATO ally is unbelievable. While we should be focussing on re-stabilising the world and helping Ukraine, we’re having to deal with an arrogant and overconfident USA gone rogue.
