@windtrack_QH @feliz_navidi This question has been studied to death.

@rymcol @adamkp You can scroll with two fingers now?

She has to blame herself for not remembering how insufferably unstrategic the MS (taken as a group) tend to be.

[Thomas van Linge @ThomasVLinge]

Ursula mostly has herself to blame for this. Having a sort of associate membership and drawing countries like Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand into this makes a lot of sense for Europe, but it was not up to Ursula to invent it on the spot and immediately grant it to Canada without the member states even being aware of its existence.

@davidrkadler @70sBachchan Rubio did not listen to @mattyglesias that one should not be interested in elections abroad.

@FZ4sRscMQE89940 @BrennpunktUA The majority of Europeans are in fact very sceptical of American wars. Especially current ones. The Danes with help from European allies even prepared for an American attack.

@Guozili19 @Angelvergessen1 The joke itself is not meant to be funny (no one cares about the milk intolerance), its meant ironically, an overload of clichés, sort of as ragebait, and that makes it funny.

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

@sacchapyaar @anskfjck @Nnnxq3j stop insulting each other.

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

@cszabla Yes just like big tobacco and later climate/environment.

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

Perhaps at this point European leaders should come prepared and briefed and try to reverse lecture him about “the actual” history.

[max seddon @maxseddon]

NEW: Vladimir Putin spent most of his call with the leaders of Finland and Norway ranting about Slavic history, underscoring Europe's tough task backing Ukraine in peace talks.

The planned 20-minute call dragged on for 90. A ceasefire barely came up:

@NewLeftEViews Such ragebait. Imagine writing a pro/con article about billionaires and failing to mention political influence/power and democratic implications whatsoever.

"We estimate that Mr Trump’s policies will cost the poorest tenth of American households, with average income after taxes and transfers of around $37,000, almost 3% of their income. The richest tenth, with average after-tax incomes of nearly $500,000, will gain nearly 3% (see chart 1). Households in the middle, with average income of roughly $100,000, lose more than $400"

@JaneParkway @cszabla Cuba has also gotten worse lately but probably has the potential for a major boom. Proximity to US and high levels of literacy and education, very engaged diaspora, comparatively strong health outcomes, solar/electrification as quick fix for energy dependency etc.

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

@cszabla Almost yes, can still all go south, unfortunately.

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

@mattyglesias rip democratic peace theory

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

The EU should obviously join this effort.

Lula victory speech:

"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.

We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

[Adrian Kreuzspiegl @Castative]

Gilt auch für Europa. Vielleicht sogar noch mehr.

[Michael Paarlberg @MPaarlberg]

Democrats should realize that what Meta did in Brazil, they and other social media companies will do in the US in 2028 unless they are made to understand they will face criminal penalties for it

[Michael Kofman @KofmanMichael]

Regarding Russian conscripts, this is not the case. The overwhelming percentage of Russian forces fighting in this war are men well over 30 who accepted service contracts for money. They were not conscripted, or mobilized. For more on this topic: https://t.co/YF6aIj7qDE
