Commentary on the European non-English-language press

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

@EuroBriefing Should seriously consider (co-)posting on bsky, to which people are escaping en masse;
Sadly, "EuroBriefing" alrdy taken there (by you?), if with zero posts so far

No more posting here, ValooSgai instead, that's where I am: same handle, easy to find and with the content you expect: tidbits from foreign press + comments, jokes -and, of course, links, JUICY links!

Pardon if I keep repeating this message for a while

@Lefsetz Yours were clearly among the knees that were publicly jerking, Bob;
You need to read this piece https://t.co/TbUuFOz9Iz

"Sbohem": Farewell!
For anyone out there outside of ČR who cares, @CzechAirlinesCZ in a few days flies its very last flight, having been well-&-truly bought up and set aside as an enterprise;
Was world's 5th-ever commercial airline (1923)

[Česko ve fotografii @cesko365]

"V sobotu 26. října před desátou večer přistane na pražském letišti letadlo Českých aerolinií z Paříže – poslední samostatný let ČSA," uvádí na svém webu Česká televize.

První let, mimochodem, proběhl 29. října 1923.

Takže sbohem a šáteček. Po 101 letech. 😳

@WillBain31 Re: WorldBizReprt intervw w/Volvo boss, WHY did you not inform listeners @VolvoGroup is fully owned by Geely = CHINESE: His opinions were straight from his CHINESE bosses!

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

No evidence of this at all; quite the opposite!
- British officials scramble to get anyone to talk with in Brussels incl. PM @keir_starmer recently trying to meet @vonderleyen;
- EU ready to impose stringent conditions for any UK re-join e.g. euro adoption https://t.co/awOE2L4vuh

@TheAtlantic @rosehorowitch Hooray! Congrats to @UChicago, that "last bastion"!
OTOH it seems that pesky Valley-Girl speech habit of excessive use of "like" has penetrated even the upper echelons there

From #Netherlands main biz paper: "In an election yr w/few debates, the one btwn Vance & Walz can be decisive"
No. No it cannot. It's but a sideshow.

[FD Nieuws @FD_Nieuws]

In een verkiezingsjaar met weinig debatten kan die tussen Vance en Walz beslissend zijn https://t.co/dbFP2F5K8l

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

Leading contender so far:
"That fluttering feeling deep down inside, like when you were 1st in love"
Too long? https://t.co/UuC6NwsWtP

My only surprise is that Trump-the-Grifter didn't alrdy pre-empt them with this!
Altho if they're truly "Trump-themed" you know he's receiving some sort of $$ in licensing

[Financial Times @FT]

The rifle is the same model used in an attempt on the former president's life two months ago. https://t.co/8JixSriZPv

😅🤣

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

In the most ridiculous PR event ever, Putin has Lavrov sign a treaty with the African nation of Burkina Faso about non first use of space weapons.

Burkina Faso has a GDP roughly equivalent to Jeff Bezos' weekly lunch bill.

Go to the 2:00 mark here for what is likely *exclusive* reporting re: #China provinces finding much-needed revenue by arresting entrepreneurs on trumped-up charges, only releasing them for payment (= the "shocking ... story")

[China Update @tonychinaupdate]

Today on #China Update we discuss a shocking local fiscal pressure story, China's economy, Taiwan tensions, & Japan-China relations:

@RyanMcbeth @BallouxFrancois Of course it's not cool to block someone, espec when McBeth's "threat" hardly deserves any such respect;
Still: they MUST have to have widened his house's doorframes just to allow passage of his swollen head! https://t.co/sK8uzLJMiU

[Ryan McBeth @RyanMcbeth]

It’s so cute that @BallouxFrancois blocked me. I guess he doesn’t understand that I’m Ryan McBeth.

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

@RyanMcbeth @BallouxFrancois Take a look again, people: 6 buildings destroyed at the mortal peril of non-combatants: see below UN's own war-crime definitions (based on international treaties);
"Threat" to make a "Ryan McBeth video" - what a pompous ass! https://t.co/ojchvCWBCr

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

@ewaldeng OK, are you willing to trust the economic judgment of 16 Nobel Econ Prize laureates?
Are histories of Hawley-Smoot (= early-1930s trade war that made Great Depression worse for all) not available in Dutch?

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

@yilmaznuts @Cappyarmy Ah OK, well here's @nytimes reporting on 4 destroyed apartment buildings + "significant damage to several surrounding buildings" (as #Israel was killing Nasrallah);
Make you feel any better? Do you expect death toll here of innocents to be insubstantial? https://t.co/0qRxe29qsh

[𝕰𝖚𝖗𝖔𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖙 @EuroSavant]

@guardianopinion Dishonest piece which ignores fact that it is actually #China (out of IMF framework) which is #SriLanka's biggest bilateral creditor & is MUCH less generous, to include take-over of #Hambantota port facilities https://t.co/4E0RAp2R3A
