Happy 249th birthday 🇺🇸

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

An extraordinary interview with Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko in The Economist, in which he admits that the Russian elite made a historic mistake with its make money in Russia, but secure your wealth, family and future in the West system.

That model, he now says, has collapsed and his key line is blunt: “For the first time I feel I have no other country but Russia.”

So we have one of Russia’s richest men, and leading 'internationalists' who was living in Switzerland with property in France and Britain, acknowledging that the globalisation bargain which shaped the Russian elite for 30 years has broken down. And he obviously isn't a dissident, and not a pro-war zealot either.

@YIMBYLAND What’s in this bill? Haven’t heard anything about it.

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@AnnCoulter Trump has said he wants house prices to go up not down so he must love mass illegal immigration.

@CNLiberalism Corporate liberals love democracy so much they are totally okay with dark money spending $15M to buy a primary.

@DancsCatalans Son tan sermoners que fan avorrir l’esquerra. No tothom ha de ser un intel·lectual amargat, la majoria només volen una societat més justa, politics honestos i passar-s’ho bé en aquesta vida que ja és prou difícil. I en Mamdani destil·la tot això.

@erichpunti Quin populisme tan barat. I que en pensava la dreta dels homosexuals en aquesta mateixa època? Que en pensaven dels homosexuals Churchill, Truman, Chiang Kai Shek, o De Gaulle? A veure si tindrà mes a veure amb l’època que amb els personatges.

@DreamMortex @Chadson That’s it?!

@Popstonox @hasanthehun Debbie should be running in Israel considering that’s the only thing she cares about.

@nikicaga I meant to say 20% more in Berlin vs Barcelona/Madrid/Rome.

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@nikicaga Same in Southern Europe. German salaries are not that high anymore. And Germany as a country is not it lol Switzerland is the exception but it’s also a tiny country. If you only make 20% more in Barcelona/Madrid/Rome vs Berlin most people will chose to stay in their home country.

@XMihura Es que los suizos no lo saben aún pero viven peor que los chinos porque les faltan rascacielos en Zermatt y muchos leds en Grindelwald.

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@Ma_WuKong Está cruzada contra Suiza es ridícula. Es literalmente el país con el estándar de vida más alto del mundo. A ver si ahora resultará que los chinos viven mejor que los suizos. Que China mola pero la riqueza no son solo autopistas de diez carriles, rascacielos y leds.

@VikingInBangkok @NXT4EU And they don’t live perfectly fine lives if anything they scrape by and that was my criticism of OP.

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@VikingInBangkok @NXT4EU Two people making minimum wage can’t have a decent life in 2026 unless they have a paid-off home. That’s just the reality.

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@VikingInBangkok @NXT4EU There are millions of people making this much in major European cities not in the countryside. That’s what a lot of people make in most major cities in Southern/Eastern Europe and their wages haven’t gone up in 20 years. Madrid/Rome/Lisbon ain’t cheap.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Pentagon has raised its counterintelligence threat level for Israel amid concerns about eavesdropping on U.S.-Iran talks. https://t.co/U7bB6WOsrg

[Forgasm @albert_forga]

@Ma_WuKong Suiza es uno de los paises mas industrializados y innovadores del mundo… el sector financiero es una parte pequeña de la economía. Dirías lo mismo de Hong Kong que recientemente ha superado a Suiza en riqueza offshore total?

@AndreasSteno As if pipelines and oil terminals cant be bombed?
Iran controls both sides of the strait. It’s the Gulf monarchies that need a deal soon or they will be made redundant, they’re the ones that have more to lose.

@neopunki @clarapruners Son liberals però no tant. Visca la llibertat excepte la dels palestins que son terroristes i mereixen morir.
