The trouble with Austrian Economics is that eventually you run out of other people's money

Notably, as on trade - where Trump often calls the EU a country - he is much closer to recognising the EU as a power than any European leader, with here basically saying it's the EU now who beefs up Ukraine.

Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

What this actually means: "The US washes its hands of the conflict altogether; Ukraine seems to be doing fine on its own and it not, it's up to Europe to help it out; no more direct aid to Ukraine; the US now regards NATO as basically European and will help it from afar but not as a member."

The Europeans are well aware of how unreliable Trump is but will try to manoeuvre him away from full US withdrawal from Europe until European states have made more progress towards rearmament.

EU/UK and Ukrainian policy towards Trump is best understood as realistic damage limitation.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Well, sir, someone clearly didn’t read your guide to negotiations. And doesn’t it show.

Hmmmm, anyone else who famously needed his insane diatribes of speeches in super-large type to avoid wearing glasses?

JUST WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU WANTED TO DO?

Tesla stock is up +27% over the past month while car sales decline on every continent and the much hyped robotaxis crashed three times on their first day. This isn’t just a meme stock, there’s so much blind faith in Musk that it’s closer to a religion or a cult.

It’s literally the most famous word in Arabic

Also, as an Italian I have lived for the last twenty-five years or so with a keen sense of embarrassment for coming from the country who elected the most embarrassing head of the executive ever multiple times. No more.

@aphclarkson.bsky.social A move to Geneva it is, then.

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

These men have been through the horrors of war and even they're finding this Trump speech tough going

Why, Jake Tapper, it profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world. But for *this*?

To be fair many academics mistake 15 minutes of speaking for 50…

Trump's brain is now incoherently flitting from topic to topic as the UN sits listening him to complete silence

Trump making Gadaffi's UN speech look normal.

It shouldn't have taken a UNGA speech for a lot of people to face the reality that Trump's brain is mush, and the United States under his rule is useless to allies abroad and facing mounting instability at home.

You can *feel* the contempt and mortification off the audience.

The possibility that the UN will have to relocate out of New York before 2028 needs to be taken more seriously

Nikita Sergeivitch: And you thought the shoe was bad? Watch this.

Trump to the UN: "In just eight months since I took office, we have secured commitments and money paid for $17 trillion. Think of it." (The entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so I'm thinking of it and the math ain't mathing.)

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

If interdiction by stopping and seizing doesn’t work, mind sharing with us the small change of why interdiction by murder will?

Humans don’t generally take livestock medication for roundworm to deal with headaches, so the per dosage incidence is sort of relevant here for anyone who doesn’t have to take off their socks to count to thirteen.
