It’s not the West that’s in decline. It’s Europe & Europe only. The reason is what I call the impossible trilemma of speeding up decarbonization, reviving industrial competitiveness amid high energy & labor costs & restoring security and stability amid the worst war after WWII.
The EU’s new defence commissioner @KubiliusA has called for obligatory ammunition stockpiles, telling @FT that capitals should be forced to have permanent inventories similar to rules on emergency gas storage levels https://t.co/3deh7NYq8x
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon uses his annual shareholder letter to set a global agenda: Pro-America, pro-military, pro-Ukraine, pro-trade, pro-capitalism, pro-DEI, anti-China. Wrote: "Ukraine's struggle is our struggle, and ensuring their victory is ensuring America first". He likened AI's potential impact to that of the steam engine & said the technology could “augment virtually every job.” https://t.co/H9EyWB7vOk

@bctallis Ex 🇬🇧 defence sec Ben Wallace, tearing @Bundeskanzler a new one.

The contrast between the journalists who chronicled Navalny's poisoning, particularly @bellingcat, taking huge risks to expose the truth, and @TuckerCarlson's craven, whimpering, regime propaganda was never starker than today.
These NATO allies are the biggest defense spenders in the EU:
🇵🇱 Poland
🇬🇷 Greece
🇪🇪 Estonia
🇱🇹 Lithuania
🇫🇮 Finland
🇷🇴 Romania
🇸🇰 Slovakia
🇭🇺 Hungary
🇱🇻 Latvia
Notice a trend?

Help me protect life in Ukraine. Last year, many of you joined me in a @U24_gov_ua project to fund an anti-drone system. I very much hope you will join me in a new fundraiser to spread the drone-detection system throughout the country. Please help.
