Canada goes big. One month, $2.6B in aid equals 12% of everything Ottawa has given since 2022. The support stretched from tanks to cyber shields, a wave of commitments instead of the usual trickle. It’s a change, and a signal: Ukraine’s allies are learning to surge when it matters most.

Rest in peace, #JeromeCohen, a truly principled China scholar. He was so very kind to me, when inviting me to speak of the Uyghur genocide at the Council of Foreign Relations. Also, he cared genuinely about my country's citizen who is held kidnapped in China, #GuiMinhai. Will always treasure this.

Oxford is letting a con artist right into the central nervous system of the educational enterprise. And note how the (once) great Uni has degraded itself to the role of a marketing contractor as it parrots a slogan cooked up in an OpenAI boardroom somewhere: “ChatGPT Edu is built for education…”

Hard to overstate what a *huge* win this is for OpenAI in its strategy to spread its malign, brain- and planet-destroying tentacles all through the education sector. Oxford’s global standing will create a permission structure for many other schools to do likewise. “If Oxford’s doing it, then…”

We now have only 2 options. 1, Russia defeated: Requires harsher sanctions & meeting Ukraine’s need for weapons. 2, Fulfilling Stalin’s & Putin’s dream of subduing Europe. In 1, Europeans will need to sacrifice some of their welfare. In 2, they will lose it all. www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2...

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation. This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region. The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)

Estonia summoned a Russian diplomat to protest after three Russian fighter aircraft entered its airspace without permission on Friday and stayed there for 12 minutes, the Foreign Ministry said.

Ein typisches #Trump-Manöver: Unrealistische Forderungen für ein Vorgehen gegen #Russland und der falsche Adressat. Die NATO macht keine Zölle, sondern die EU. Trump macht klar, dass seine Drohungen gegen Putin substanzlos sind.

People in DC keep telling me how hawkish Trump 2 is on China. The truth is, I'd even advocate for this proposal now if I believed for a second that this was actually true. But all relevant signs point towards accommodation and profit maximization as the sole driving factor of China policy.

🫠 "Biden and Zelensky's war and don't waste his time." Do you know what it's called? Exiting the peace settlement/war, etc. He himself just lifted sanctions on Belarusian aviation so that Russia could even more easily bypass sanctions and receive the necessary parts for aircraft through Belarus…

🇪🇺‼️ Kallas: "The classic Russian negotiating tactic works in three stages: first, Moscow demands what it never had. Then come ultimatums and threats. As a result, voices in West are mobilized, ready to offer Russia what it never had. If Ukraine falls, security of all of Europe will be threatened."
