Detaljer om den amerikanska räddningsoperationen, som om de stämmer är rätt uppseendeväckande.

A former Hungarian intelligence official told us there were discussions in Hungarian security circles over the past days about a precise plan for a false-flag operation impacting the pipeline in Serbia as part ​of effort to influence Hungary’s election. www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

Sad that large parts of Europe went into this trap.

By pure coincidence.

I thought about posting about someone writing a novel about a novelist’s self radicalisation Then I remembered this photo (Yep, that’s a mug commemorating the sectarian killers - sorry, great lads - of the Ulster Freedom Fighters)

Quite a large gap between public discourse in Member States, “prices should not go up for consumers” and the European Commission warning for possible rationing or critical fuels, including diesel.

We support work by the UN on humanitarian corridors in the Strait to get food and fertilisers out. The EU has tools to track and facilitate transit that could help with that. (3/3)

Thank you @YvetteCooperMP for convening a call of over 40 countries on the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway is a global public good. Iran cannot be allowed to charge countries a bounty to let ships pass. International law doesn’t recognise pay-to-pass schemes. (1/3)

Very strong short-termism by the parties of the Belgian government. www.lesoir.be/738583/artic...

Well done Trump.

Clearly a problem of EPSOs own making, caused by their insistence on using online testing. www.euractiv.com/news/surge-i...

The oil price hike *ought* to be a chance for European railways In 🇩🇪 for example 99% of long distance and 80% of regional rail passenger-km are on ⚡️ railways No transport mode is better sheltered from price hikes Can the rail sector seize the opportunity? jonworth.eu/rising-fuel-...

Two of the latest polls, from previously quite accurate pollsters, show a Tisza lead of ~20pp in Hungary. But can the opposition really win? Why is Orban on the backfoot? And what happens after April 12? 🇭🇺Hungary elections thread 🧵

“Back in 2022, a unified opposition bloc also was leading in the opinion polls and hopes were high that Orbán could actually lose. But much of Orbán’s electoral successes result from an election system crafted to ensure he wins,” Scheppele added.

En genomgång i Politico av hur Orbán riggat det kommande ungerska valet till sin fördel. Demokratin har i viktiga avseenden satts ur spel av Fidesz-regimen och därför kommer det vara mycket svårt att med demokratiska medel få bort den.

Have very mixed feelings about Sweden’s football match tonight against Poland. Really want them to win but Trump and Infantini has totally ruined the whole tournament for me.

Had my bike battery stolen recently and was a bit worried about getting a new one both due to disruption of supply chains and increased demand, but I was lucky.

In the first days of the attack on Iran I asked my PV installer if he had received any additional inquiries. Nothing. I asked him again this past Wednesday. Phone won't stop ringing.

I enjoy reading Tooze but find his geopolitical analysis very shallow and misdirected. www.ft.com/content/cf2e...

Very intriguing line in @adamtooze.bsky.social recent FT piece. "Corporates who are willing to face heat of Chinese competition love it". As if those who have issues with parts of what is producing authoritarian state capitalist heat (currency undervaluation, subisidies) were just whiners.

This is correct in principle I believe.

Don’t follow the logic here. Has any policy maker ever promised energy independence while still promoting the use of gas for heating houses or petrol for cars?

"Highly respected" Lukashenka. In the same post as "political prisoners." Sure, he is releasing (some of) them, but he can jail some more to keep the flow going, and continue enjoying the orange moron's high respect. What a disgrace, America!

GEN. CLAESSON: After traveling 3,000 kilometers through Ukraine and meeting with dozens of military leaders, my main conclusion is that it is not a broken country. They are tired, for obvious reasons, but not broken. We must maintain our focus on Ukraine.

Läser om Sherlock Holmes och hade glömt hur mycket som kretsar kring knark.

Gårdagen en timme (!) långa intervju med Sergej Lavrov på fransk tv igår verkar ha varit ett haveri.

This is the kind of stuff I saw plenty of as a correspondent based in Turkey. Worrying to see Hungary go down that route. Solidarity with @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social www.reuters.com/business/med...

#Hungary: The Hungarian government has filed charges against one of 🇭🇺 most prominent investigative journalists @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social, who has recently revealed multiple Russian influence operations aimed at boosting Orban’s re-election. We express our full support for Szabolcs Panyi.
