Black Cube, not BlackCore, somehow there are two of these but yes lol

Airbus and Dassault failing to build the European answer to the F-35 offers two lessons: 1) Berlin, Paris, and Brussels lack the leadership to get firm on industry, 2) European security politics still hasn't learned industrial policy

Message to journalists. If the sky is blue, but nobody you have interviewed says the sky is blue — or worse, one of them says the sky is red — you can still report the sky is blue. Because the sky is blue. You can declare known knowns.

Mythos, regulate something.

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

Informed political ignorance almost aways is a grift. Get that bag man

Six NATO states now border with Russia. Almost the entire European continent has been subsumed within NATO. And it's Russia that's the "threat to world peace."

[On Think Tanks @onthinktanks]

Keynote 3: @RosaBalfour, Director @Carnegie_Europe asks — do think tanks matter?
Yes, but only if they do the hard work. Know your values. Plan for uncertainty. Speak plainly. And stop treating domestic politics and global affairs as separate conversations.

Lidl’s owner takes on Amazon in the cloud war 👉 https://t.co/4ym9dmB0Ib

The Dutch Central Bank has dropped Amazon Web Services for STACKIT, a cloud platform owned by the Schwarz Group — the retail giant behind Lidl and Kaufland. This signals a major shift in European digital strategy.

Insane stat: 0.1% of the accounts on Polymarket have earned 67% of the profits.

Scott Jennings just had a full meltdown on CNN. If he can’t control his emotions, he should be off the air.

I will die on this hill: Angela Merkel broke Germany and probably Europe. In the wreckage of post-2008, she was uniquely positioned to choose social welfare over austerity. She chose austerity. Centrists loved her. But the fascists are now stronger than they’ve been in decades.

This absolutely hilarious

Piers Morgan has many faults, but he understands when to let his subject fry on the griddle.

I’m tired of just sitting on this info. 6 months ago CBS flew me out to DC for an in person debate over the Trump Administration, they paid for everything ranging from my travel expenses to a 4 person camera crew. The conversation was moderated by Maurice DuBois.

As you could imagine, this debate didn’t go well for my MAGA opponent, and I was very effective at demonstrating the failures and wrongdoings of Trump & his administration, including things the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know.

Coincidentally, it was filmed RIGHT before Bari Weiss took over. And in my opinion, it seems she canned the whole production to censor the truth.

I have reached out to my contact at CBS multiple times over the course of the last 6 months to see what happened to the production, and haven’t gotten a response.

@CBS, what’s going on???

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.

Now that it‘s official, can everyone start calling it what it truly is - the fourth systemic risk-driven global crisis after GFC, Covid, and Russia‘s war on Ukraine.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible
