It is not just that Donald Trump’s moves are failing to revive American manufacturing. Under the hood, there are signs that they are actively hurting it econ.st/4pAi02X

One item of breaking news today is another of Russia's shadow-fleet being seized by the U.S. Is it time for Europe and other allies to do likewise? Personally I think it should have happened long since. Stop all non legal transit, using force if necessary.

Hello again. Sorry for the late start - I finally slept, had to catch up on things and make some calls after the terrible night. Hell was inflicted on Kyiv by Russia, but exacerbated by a feeble acceptance by Ukraine's allies instead of fighting the evil Day 1416 of the war:

Treffer, versenkt

Es wäre so schön, wenn das Regime im Iran endlich fallen würde

How about this outcome from Trump's indifference to China's blockade of Taiwan? Europe is busy with Russia, then... China invades Taiwan, Trump takes Greenland and Panama, North Korea invades the South, Iran attacks Israel, Azerbaijan invades Armenia, (Thanks ‪Tilman‬‪@tilmane.bsky.social‬)

Putin doesn’t want peace, Russia’s reply to diplomacy is more missiles and destruction. This deadly pattern of recurring major Russian strikes will repeat itself until we help Ukraine break it. (1/3)

Energy experts say the US and China are diverging on the energy transition, with China sprinting far ahead on renewables and EVs, while the US doubles down on drilling oil at home and abroad. https://cnn.it/3LzfP1u

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

#Mercosur an viele Ecken Kritikwuerdig - aber in diesen Zeiten sicherlich das richtige Zeichen: Vertrags und regelbasierte Zusammenarbeit #Südamerika und #Europa statt Entführung und Raketen Danke @ladurneru.bsky.social www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

If they cut the internet, there's a good chance they're going to do something to the protestors that will make ICE look like school boys.

Agree, let’s ban #X in Germany and EU

Agree. This will not go away, and what might follow, could only become worse… Look at Sudan

As #X and #Grok promote #strongmen, #autocrats and #fascism time to defend democracy and ban both across #Europe

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

❗️Sweden is ready to allocate Gripen fighter jets and resources for demining the Black Sea to Ukraine after the signing of a peace treaty with Russia.

From 2026 onwards, #kidnapping will be rewarded

In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves". I was called "hysterical". Well, here we are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excellent read, can not agree more

Trump is a threat to everyone European nations must now come together and speak with one voice like never before.

The US is sanctioning judges among whose assignments is the legal reckoning with genocide. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

I just made three posts. Just wanted to remind everyone don’t forget the Epstein Files because all these distractions are exactly what Trump wants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 🔄

Was sagt eigentlich die AfD zu Trumps Abenteuer in Venezuela? Die haben doch da so gute Verbindungen…, Und geben wir jetzt Grönland als Ostergeschenk dazu?

Trump droht erneut mit Krieg gegen Kolumbien, Kuba, Mexiko, Grönland und Venezuela. Robert B. Hubbell "Die unrechtmäßige Entführung Maduros in einem begrenzten Angriff ist der Beginn eines prekären und gefährlichen Weges, nicht dessen Ende."

Die Militäroperation der USA in Venezuela am Freitagabend war ein klassischer Verstoß gegen das Völkerrecht. Sie ist auch nach US-Recht völlig unzulässig, was eigentlich eine Rolle spielen sollte (aber wahrscheinlich nicht spielen wird). Steve Vladeck

Wir müssen uns dringend daran gewöhnen, dass es kein globales Recht mehr gibt. Europa ist mutliple abhängig und schwach, und das wird zunehmens ausgenutzt, zu unseren Lasten. open.substack.com/pub/tilmanei...

"These were all things we did to ourselves. We did them because we were naïve. We did them because we were complacent. Because we were arrogant Most of all because we were greedy. And now we are reaping the consequences." @diplo.de @larsklingbeil.bsky.social @nroettgen.bsky.social @baks.bund.de

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

There’s a certain irony to that. „discussed within NATO“ Well!?

Strongly recommended read on #Russia and #Europe. I love: "500m Europeans are begging 380m Americans to defend them from 140m Russians, who in the space of three years have not managed to beat 40m Ukrainians. How pathetic is that?" substack.com/home/post/p-...
