"Västerländska luftförsvar håller inte måttet om man väger samman förmåga, volym och kostnad [...] Det är svårt nog att få ihop resurser till Ukraina, än svårare att upprätthålla tillräckligt starkt skydd vid aktiva konflikter på flera håll i världen." (Även DN/Bonnier News-prenumeranter kan läsa)
I'm working on a book proposal at the moment, the core thesis of which is "Democracy fails not when lies spread, but when verified reality can no longer alter incentive structures." and we're seeing it happen in real time. Which is good for the book, but bad for democracy.
Det tar Lockheed Martin mer än ett år att tillverka den mängd PAC-3-missiler som sannolikt krävts för att avvärja Irans attacker hittills.
When an (in this case Russian) LNG tanker is attacked.
Findes der noget bedre end at få ros og opmuntring af sit smartwatch?

Jag håller med om att tiden inte är på Rysslands sida. Men vi bör akta oss för önsketänkande. Det Englund skriver om ex. rysk nyrekrytering stämmer inte med det Budanov sa nyligen om att Ryssland nått alla sina mål och t o m överträffat dem 2025.
One week before the invasion, Mearsheimer stated that Putin surely was too smart to invade Ukraine. Now he says he would have invaded sooner. The guy is an idiot.

A multi-speed EU finally. I think it is needed and will make the EU much more resilient. There will be in a way internal competition. And a chance for at least parts of the union to respond quickly to developments. And an acknowledgement of differences within.

Not being able to cooperate internally is how the U.S. administration sees Europe, and why Europe cannot be an empire on its own and needs be split and brought to heel in a new world of empires and of the ruled.
Would be nice if Europe could prove them wrong.

Thinking of the statement "the US is no longer a functional democracy". I think USA can still right itself. So that's where the "if" comes from. Cf. Poland that did right itself.
“Automatkarbinerna står intill sovplatserna. Några drönare står färdiga, redo för flygning. Det är återkommande prat i radion. En katt strosar runt. Det övergivna djuret har blivit soldaternas maskot.”
Jag har bott några dagar med ukrainska FPV-piloter.
If this is true, it must reflect an underlying power shift away from the people towards the few. Something that makes a smaller group of people sure they can pull this off. Technology?

Epstein could have led one of the world’s largest operations to compromise influential people, acting in the interests of Russian special services and Israel.
The girls for Epstein's parties were supplied by the modeling agency Shtorm from Krasnodar. It also participated in the organization of the Olympics opening in Sochi, according to documents declassified by the US Department of Justice.
War crimes do not justify war crimes. Especially not if it’s unrelated actions from decades ago, by different people from different regimes, used to justify atrocities today.
Nobody is forcing Russia to commit horrible crimes just because someone else did, does, or might do something bad too.

How to not get an ambassador's position.
In fairness, Trump is also committing strategic suicide on behalf of the USA so he’s not asking anything of Zelenskyy that he wouldn’t do himself.
These clown morons hadn't read the book on fascism to the end. If they had, they would have discovered that fascism failed.
It just sucks we have to fight it. Hopefully not for too long now. It's so helpful of them to shoot themselves in the foot every single fucking day.
I'm exhausted and the week hasn't even started.
