🧵Since it is becoming hard to track, here is a thread of the simply astounding weather records planet Earth has started shattering in recent weeks:
1. Dramatic flood events have begun striking various countries around the world simultaneously this week.

Euroalueen inflaatioluvut ei kuulemma jätä muuta tulkintaa, kuin että EKP:n pitää aggressiivisesti kiristää.
Toinen näkökulma samasta datasta: hinnat euroalueella LASKEE.
Jos rahapolitiikkaa kiristetään entisestään, riski pysyvästä/syvemmästä deflaatiosta kasvaa.
It is 11 July, the 138th day of Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.
My last 🧵on the war was 20 June (below), written when it appeared to me the tide was beginning to shift. Today it's time for an update, with some additional predictions for the next few weeks. 1/18
It has now been 76 days since the Russians launched the Battle of the Dohnbas. This would make it one of the longest major battles in the 20th and 21st centuries. Many times longer than Kursk,e Bagration Normandy, Bulge, etc. Its much closer to WWI (Somme, Passchendale, Verdun)
I've been hesitant to write a 🧵on the current tactical situation & what might happen next. But @DAlperovitch's view of potential outcomes (RT below) cause me to weigh in.

Mortarmen get their Mavic 3. You get to enjoy your SMS - waiting to be delivered to RU forces.
Biden said Zelensky didn't heed US warnings about Putin's invasion, but passing the buck is offensive when the US took no deterrent steps. Seeing no US action, Zelensky likely feared Ukraine was being treated as a chip on the table of a larger US game with Putin.
Greetings from Kyiv, where people have been using a new verb Шольцить, (loosely translated as, to make a Scholz-like vow): To make a major promise you don't plan to fulfill; to appear to be concerned about a situation and pay lip service to those in need but give them little.
Russian media are saying Macron spent 100 hours on the phone with Putin. They lie all the time, but I'd like to hear a denial from Elysée on this one. If true, Macron will get special places in both the history books and the Guinness Book.
The amount of Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia, equivalent to other European countries. This is what appeasers would gift to Putin, along with all the human beings who live there.
