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.

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

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...

The violent killing of Gaddafi in 2011 had a profound psychological impact on Putin. It made him terrified of Western-facilitated regime change. Putin was far closer to Khamenei than he was to Gaddafi. Today will be hugely triggering for Putin.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”. I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life. Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine. Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage. 
Two colours, burning with resistance. Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever Slava Ukraini.

Marktjuvarna är tillbaka i geopolitiken, som på Stalins, Napoleons eller Gustav II Adolfs tid. När stormakter tävlar om territorium blir det livsfarligt för alla. Bästa försäkringen är kapitalism, typ Sveriges och Danmarks. (EFN/Finansmagasinet 4/2) efn.se/niklas-ekdal...

Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.

That photo is from this video, which shows the victim being pepper-sprayed before going to the ground, after which ICE agents swarm him. When he’s on the ground being held and pummeled, his empty hands are visible An ICE officer runs off with a gun just *before* the shooting starts.
