An Appeal to Muslim Women Workers. Baku, Azerbaijan, 1921.

The text at the bottom reads:

MUSLIM WOMEN WORKERS!
The Tsar, beys, and khans DEPRIVED YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS. You were a slave to the state, a slave in the factory, a slave in the family.
The Soviet government has given you RIGHTS EQUAL TO ALL. It has broken the chains that bound you.

GUARD THE POWER OF THE WORKERS AND PEASANTS: THIS IS YOUR POWER TOO, WOMAN WORKER!
The Soviet government has led you onto the wide road toward light and knowledge. It has opened the doors of schools for adults to you.

GO AND STUDY, WOMAN WORKER!
The Soviet government cares for you when you are preparing to become a mother. It preserves your strength, it wants your children to be born strong and healthy.

THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT IS THE PROTECTOR OF YOUR CHILDREN, WOMAN WORKER!
The Soviet government creates crèches, orphanages, and schools for your children. It strives to free you from domestic slavery, it wants motherhood to be a bright joy for you.

HELP THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT IN ITS ENDEAVORS, WOMAN WORKER!
Under the Soviet government, your children will grow up as free citizens of the great communist republic.

REMEMBER, WOMAN WORKER: ONLY THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT BRINGS FREEDOM TO THE TOILERS!
The bourgeoisie, Musavatists, beys, and khans strive to return you to your former life of slavery.

BUT THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT WILL NOT ALLOW THIS, WOMAN WORKER!
The Soviet government has created the valiant Red Army, your faithful protector, which brings death to the capitalists, beys, and khans, and peace to your home.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN, WOMAN WORKER, TO HELP THE RED ARMY!
The capitalists of the world, beys, khans, and Musavatists are exerting all their strength to wrest power from the hands of the insurgent workers.

TOGETHER WITH THE WORKERS, HOLD HIGH THE RED BANNER, WOMAN WORKER, THE BANNER OF LABOR AND COMMUNISM!
You are a part of the working class. You share its grief and its joy. Its victory is your victory.

MARCH IN STEP WITH THE WORKER,
DO NOT FALL BEHIND, WOMAN WORKER!
Long Live the Soviet Government!
Long Live the World
Communist Revolution!

先ほど日帰りのインドネシア出張から帰国しました。
昨夜はインドネシアのプラボウォ大統領の私邸で会談した際に私の地元横須賀の戦艦「三笠」の模型をギフトとしてお持ちしました。軍出身で国防大臣経験者のプラボウォ大統領はやはり喜んでくださり良かったです。
横須賀にある防衛大学にインドネシアから留学生を送ることを主導したのがプラボウォ大統領。昨日も私のために防大卒業生を集めてくださっていました。そのうちの一人はインドネシアの農業副大臣で、昨夜もわざわざ参加してくれました。大統領の防大への特別な想いに感謝です。
昨日の大統領との実質的な会談の内容を私とシャフリ国防大臣@sjafriesjams の間でしっかりとフォローアップしまた進捗を報告させて頂くことで一致しました。日帰りのインドネシア出張でしたが、今後の日本-インドネシア関係の強化に繋がる成果を得ることができました。プラボウォ大統領、ありがとうございました！

今天我来到兰州最大的西关清真大寺。这个寺也很迷，本来也是个明清官式风格的古建筑，文革被毁后，八十年代新建成了阿拉伯伊斯兰风格，礼拜殿变成大圆球顶；前段时间因为众所周知的原因又改造，把礼拜殿和宣礼塔全包起来了，外观现在是一点都看不出清真寺的样子，有点像商场……

我进去问工作人员哪里能买《古兰经》，他说现在难呢（我觉得西北话这个“呢”的口癖好可爱），寺里的经都是国家批的，不能买卖。你要买得去临夏。我当然不可能为了这跑去临夏，就有点失望。他想了想又说：南关十字的新华书店好像有，你去看一看！

我来到南关十字最大的有好几层的新华书店，一问，人家直接说没有，我以为又要像在新疆那样白来了。一搜地图，旁边还有个比较小的张掖路新华书店。进去一看，“宗教”书架上就有卖了，不过全店只有这一本伊斯兰教相关的书。标价108，好贵……这个是马金鹏而非马坚的译本，而且不像我在白沙瓦买的是阿英对照，它只有中文。还是有点遗憾的。

I’m not sure what the gravest consequence will ultimately be. There are many possible outcomes.

Anthropic could gain European sovereignty out of this, and from an investor’s standpoint it may even have to, just to keep the momentum alive. We know, after all, how the stock market values companies in which the government has a say and can pull the plug at any time. And there is a difference between a government that could do this and one that has just proven it will The current valuation cannot be sustained under those circumstances.

How it could work has long been sketched out: either through a legally independent European operating entity with its own operational control, or through licensing the model weights to a European operator under European governance. The blueprints already exist.

And the consequence for the US? It loses influence.

Once again, a decision by this administration meant to project power and toughness in the short term, but achieving the exact opposite in the long run. It gives away influence voluntarily. This administration’s path so far has been paved with moves like these. It mistakes the exercise of power for the preservation of power, and won’t notice the difference until both are gone.

The same playbook is already visible in the military sphere with Europe. For decades the United States acted as the continent’s security guarantor and benefited enormously from that role. This administration chose to exploit the dependency instead, and the consequence is a Europe now rearming on a massive scale, largely without US companies at the table. The US is losing political and economic power and influence.

The export restrictions imposed on NVIDIA’s sales to China are another example. The result is that China is actively reducing its dependence on NVIDIA GPUs and increasingly turning to homegrown solutions.
