Dagens rekommendation: www.dn.se/ledare/rakel...

Donald Trump har saboterat mycket av den amerikanska demokratin, men han har inte alls lyckats förändra den amerikanska kulturen. Jag återvände till New York för första gången på två år, och påmindes om att det finns ett USA som Trump aldrig kommer åt. www.dn.se/kultur/marti...

”Varför ska min semester bli förstörd??” Moskoviter surar över det krig de hittills ryckt på axlarna åt. www.dn.se/ledare/isobe...

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

From today’s Russian papers: “The number of Russian regions with restrictions on the sale of fuel is multiplying.” The reason given? “Unscheduled repairs at oil refineries.” #ReadingRussia

Anne Keast-Butler, GCHQ's director, said today that "new intelligence" shows that "almost half a million Russian soldiers have been killed" in the Ukraine war. That is a remarkable number—not least because SIS' Richard Moore gave a figure of 250,000 Russians killed just eight months ago.

Årets viktigaste möte är avklarat, mellan Xi Jinping och Donald Trump. Supermakterna är på dekis. Framtiden tillhör Europa. (EFN/Finansmagasinet 20/5) efn.se/varldens-sup...

A superloser is a leader of a great power, or (onetime) superpower, whose disastrous choices lead to a crash. He possesses a combination of skills that allow for a rise to personal power and the collapse of state power. I spell out the phenomenon in this video: snyder.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

To state the bleeding obvious, you can only be 'at the heart of Europe' if you're a member of the European Union. @Keir_Starmer www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

🔎🇷🇺 Inside Russia's elite Bauman University, a secret department trains the GRU's next-gen hackers, saboteurs, and spies. Now, 2,000+ leaked documents expose how its graduates feed the units behind Russia's cyberattacks, election interference, and NATO sabotage.

the optics of this Oval Office event are absolutely insane. get a load of this. crazytown.

Har längtat efter det här. Så rörande att få läsa någon i den här sfären som inte glömt bort vad allt handlar om: människan. www.dn.se/debatt/darfo...

Det är något olustigt i att Moderaterna lyssnat inkännande på missnöjda män – och nu bemöter missnöjda kvinnor genom att säga att de behöver bli mer rationella. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Ukrainian special services disrupted a contract-signing event for the "Special Military Operation" among students at the Kuban State Agrarian University. A Ukrainian soldier warned potential recruits about exactly what awaits them if they come to Ukraine.

Exclusive: Sweden has intelligence indicating Russia's systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy has withstood the strain of its war spending & western sanctions, Thomas Nilsson, head of Sweden Military Intelligence, told me & @maxseddon.bsky.social

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Finns det någon nyhet - något avslöjande - som faktiskt skulle påverka Sverigedemokraternas (eller kanske något partis) ställning över tid? När jag i veckan läste ”Lögnaren” tänkte jag: nej. Politiken spelar inte det spelet. www.expressen.se/kultur/victo...

Thus, today's election is not really the end of an authoritarian regime. Rather, it is the first step in a much longer unwinding process. It is massive and absolutely necessary first step — one that anyone who believes in democracy should celebrate. But it's more a beginning than an end.

#BREAKING | 🇭🇺 — Voter turnout in Hungary’s parliamentary election reached 54.14% by 13:00 local time on Sunday — This marks a significant increase of over 14 percentage points compared to the same time in the 2022 election (40.01%)

🇭🇺✊ Good luck to these people tomorrow, in their hands is not only the fate of Hungary, but also a big opportunity for Europe and Ukraine

Happy International War Crimes and Genocide Day to those who celebrate it.

Har vi sett en sån här kombination av högeffektiv krigsmakt och grundligt inkompetent ledning sedan Nazityskland?

Tuesday is officially war crime day everyone!

Trump has smashed up everything in the Middle East - and in the world - and now he’s preparing to run. He’s a failure and a coward. Some excerpts from an interview with the New York Post: 1/4

Shit... Samma grupp som slog ut ett stort amerikanskt medicinsktekniskt företag nyligen. www.reuters.com/world/us/ira...

Sveriges biologiska mångfald utarmas allt mer: den nya Rödlistan innehåller över 800 nya arter och nästan hälften av fåglarna är nu rödlistade. Storskaligt skogs- och jordbruk är den största anledningen.

I'm happy to share what I've been working on for a while: a book on the Russian General Staff. The most important military institution in Russia has not had any English book on it since 2006. Now it's time. Sharing is caring, but pre-order is good karma (link below).

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Har svenska liberaler någonsin blivit så förnedrade som i det här ögonblicket?

New Ayatollah just dropped.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Iran med 92 miljoner invånare är tre gånger så stort som Sverige. Ingen sorg över ayatollan och revolutionsgardet, men för regimskifte krävs mer än amerikanska och israeliska bomber från luften. (DN Kultur 1/3) www.dn.se/kultur/nikla...
