Pakistan was the case study of the knock on effect of the EU writing blank cheques for LNG imports in the dark days of 2022. Completely ripped market access out the hands of less able (economically speaking) market actors. Well, well, well. Look how quickly the substitution effect can rage.

Every single person in history who apes for a regime goes through this thought process: they, the submissive brute, love us and our domineering but just benevolent enough way. That other regime though? Too domineering.

5/5 In that case the US doesn't run a trade deficit because it saves too little, as most academic economists insist. Instead it runs a trade deficit because net capital inflows fund a rise in US debt needed to support domestic consumption.

The acts of defiance can be big or small. Painting over a bigoted piece of graffiti. Running a youth club for refugees in an area that mostly loathes them. Wearing a rainbow flag in an anti-queer neighbourhood. These acts all accumulate towards something better, I have seen that in action.

Libya surrendered its nuclear weapons program. Gaddafi died in a ditch. Ukraine surrendered its nuclear weapons stockpile. It was invaded, twice. Iran signed away its nuclear program. It still gets bombed. North Korea obtained nuclear weapons and Kim Jong Un continues to deprive his people.

The bombing is happening after we learned of progress in the nuclear talks. The lesson continues to be that you can never trust Americans. Any state threatened by the Americans will have concluded by now that their only safety is to develop nukes asap, surely?

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Minor thing, given how much political discourse uses "authenticity" and "out-of-touch politicians who know nothing about real life" as essentially a metaphor for not being anti-immigrant, it's notable the two nativist parties stood an ex-academic turned race hate pundit and a management consultant

An agent of the state murders an American, and government leaders rush to media to call the victim a "domestic terrorist" before any pretense of an investigation. We are so far down the fascist hole.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congressāwhich represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

Their inaction would be understandable if they were free speech absolutists. But given that they support the arrest of 00s of pro-Palestine protesters they are not. That leaves the explanation that they're simply scared of the right-wing media. They're cowards.
