1. A Europe that can defend itself will also be a Europe that wlll tell America to get stuffed more often 2. Whatever the long term sense of this, suggesting it while Russia is invading a European country does Putin’s work for him 3. Such lack of situational awareness is unwise in foreign policy
Important read spelling out a maximalist US position on forcing a shift of European defence to Europeans: "The Pentagon should use its review to state the obvious: Europe will not take responsibility for its own conventional defense unless the United States withdraws troops."

all the evidence is that there aren't really any actual practical harms caused by immigration and in fact there are a lot of benefits, its a political problem that would be completely solved by people just being chill, but if you say that you're "dismissing reasonable concerns"
It's been incredibly obvious for a while that Labour's strategy of "loudly agree that dangerous foreigners coming to our shores is the number one issue, hope the right wing press give you credit for what bastards you are to aforementioned Johnny Foreigner" would not, in fact, reap dividends. But...

YES. All occupations are wrong and must end. And occupied peoples have the right to resist. That is not an excuse for causing unnecessary suffering. I also believe terror is a bad strategy for the underdog who needs outside support to win; "with clean arms for a clean cause" is better. OTOH...
The only decent, morally consistent position is pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine.

Daniel Raab of Chicago. Psychopathic killer.
WHAT?! “They’re thinking: ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon and all that, but they were wrong,” said Raab, ... “That’s what you have snipers for.” NO. That's depraved monster talking. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

There's no doubt that America's two-party system has directly enabled the rise and persistence of reactionary extremism. Conservatives have a different ideology than reactionaries, but in a two-party system, their fear of change makes them much more likely to back ideologues who hate democracy.

The U.S. order to suspend foreigners' access to Anthropic's latest models is a stark reminder for Europe that it's heavily reliant on American AI models — and that the window to change that is closing.

Just a thought: both the state of Israel and Hamas have blood on their hands. Israelis knowingly voted Netanyahu in several times, embracing his repressive policies. Palestinians have been forced to endure Hamas rule, with no say. Who are the victims here, who are complicit in their rulers’ crimes?
This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. But in 2024, a @propublica.org @nytimes.com investigation found that a long-running audit involved Trump allegedly claiming the same huge write-off twice on a Chicago tower. That audit could've led to a tax bill of $100M for Trump. (From May 2024)
