Ein blaues Auge, ein goldener Schlüssel und ein krachend gescheitertes Experiment: Elon Musks letzter Tag im Weißen Haus offenbart, wie dünn die Bilanz des Tech-Milliardärs in Wahrheit ausfällt. @t-online.de www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...
This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…
In case you are curious, this is vintage footage from Chongjin showing what the DPRK was trying to do with its new 5,000 ton destroyer. The front end stuck, though, and the whole thing flopped into the water.
JPMorgan table of effective tariff rates, static estimates. Before April 2nd, the rate was 10%. From April 2nd to April 9th, it was 23.3%. As of yesterday - 125% on China, others ex Canada and Mexico at 10% - it is 25%, but 12% if China's import share goes to zero. “Source: J.P. Morgan. Based on 2024 trade shares. CA/MX is the midpoint of a 1%-3% estimated range, as the share of goods that can be made USMCA compliant is not certain. For autos, the non-US content of CA/MX parts will eventually be taxed, but is not included here.”
JPMorgan estimates the US average effective tariff rate actually went *up* yesterday with the 125% tariff on China, from 23% to 25%. But it would go down to 12% in the “extreme case where Chinese imports shrink to zero.”
Und nach einer stabilen Stunde um 226 geht es wieder abwärts. 😏
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
today the West ended

Ich habe Maidan-Flashbacks.
Der Westen ist an einem zivilisatorischen Wendepunkt angelangt: Die Presse als vierte Gewalt soll zerstört werden, damit die Wahrheit unterdrückt wird und die Lügen von faschistischen Regierenden triumphieren. Orwells Albtraum wird wahr.
what’s the source, Maks?
That only Walid Jumblatt could impel Sharaa to wear a suit and tie must have a deeper meaning for the future of the Middle East that some sartorially trained analyst should be able to work out

Nach gefühlten Jahren der (geo-)politischen Dauermisere hat mit Syrien endlich mal wieder Hoffnung gegeben. Bless 2024!
Looks like Russia's ongoing disinformation campaign has changed up tactics, and is now finding students talking online and deepfaking their voices so they can use them to put out their usual anti-Western messages. The below is taken from this original www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9L5...
What a time to be alive
Den meisten Leute dürfen noch gar nicht realisiert haben, dass die iranische „Axis of Resistance“ tot ist. Vielleicht auch bald das iranische Regime.
Good point. 👇
(Though I think it’s not irrational to worry about instability you don’t know, even if the previous situation was also one of instability)
Nachdem das Assad-Regime um #Aleppo praktisch ohne viel Gegenwehr kollabiert ist, beginnt nun die harte Phase des Kriegs Richtung #Hama und #Homs. Aktuell scheinen die Rebellen deutlich die Oberhand zu haben.
The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.
🇹🇷 Pro-Turkish rebels burned Russian flag
Wie zu erwarten beginnt das Assad-Regime jetzt damit, wild Zivilisten in Aleppo zu töten.
Груз 200
200 bedeutet tot. Das ist der russische Code.
