Here I explain in short why is criminal russia so interested in Moldova & what are the stakes for the incoming legislative elections in Chisinau.

Wow! Once fully penetrated by Russian criminal rubles, now Austria is open to NATO membership, ending Austrian neutrality

A real and needed U-turn. Still uncertain that the majority of Austrian political class will follow her — so many are deeply compromised with russian money. But a highly meaningful move to see this taboo at least partially broken.

As we await full details of the new EU–US trade agreement, one thing is clear: this is a moment of relief but not of celebration. Tariffs will increase in several areas and some key questions remain unresolved. Still, I commend President @vonderleyen and her team for their hard…

There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The…

83% of Russians are religious, but the religion is war

So … what are the SIGINT implications of a large chunk of the UK population suddenly surging onto VPNs? ft.com/content/356674…

Trump has succeeded in making tariffs the law of the land. There’s no point denying that. There’s no zero tariffs, 10% is the base and a 15% tariff is second best. Why? Because America says so. That simple. Who pays the cost - and will the investment pledge and military…

The EU-US trade outcome gives planning security for the European economy. The 🇪🇺 Commission avoided serious harm. Nevertheless, this is only damage control. We must keep pursuing new trade deals and creating a true European Single Market. The EU remains strong.

No, my friend, the *aggression in Ukraine was started by criminal, imperialist, brutal russia. It really is this simple

I disagree, but it’s a valid argument. I see this deal as the price we pay for ongoing military assistance via EU member states to Ukraine and for security in Europe. It’s a relatively small price, given that we have no real alternative. Also, the deal can be renegotiated in a…

Cu tot scandalul Anastasiu, toată lumea ratează știrea cu AUR care direcționează fondurile de paetid către firme de partid și din anturajul Lulea-Simion, chestii patentate de creatorii AUR de la PSD?

🇪🇺❗️🇺🇦 The EU is withholding $1.7 billion in aid to Ukraine over corruption concerns, citing missed reform benchmarks, - NYT Ukraine fell short on key reform benchmarks, including appointments to a special anti-corruption court. The aid, part of a €50B EU fund, may still be…

I was asked to tell you what we, Ukrainians, mean to the world today🇺🇦 We, who survived in the bloodiest war of the 21st century. We, who are fighting and defending ourselves alone – against the most brutal enemy since fascism. An enemy that has cultivated hatred for us in…

Ursula von der Leyen says the EU-US trade deal includes a zero-for-zero tariffs scheme for: - All aircraft and components - Certain chemicals - Certain generics - Semiconductor equipment - Certain agricultural products - Natural resources - Critical raw materials

Russia could never be conquered due to its size, lack of infrastructure, and climatic conditions. The same applies to Afghanistan, Iran, and generally any sufficiently large country favored by terrain. This is the basis of the myth of Russian invincibility. However, in the event…

I'm not particularly impressed. We got rolled. Gift link on.ft.com/40CE0QW

What I worried about has happened. A completely unequal “deal” between the US and the EU. Have no doubt: asymmetric 15% tariffs are a EU defeat. When the law of the jungle prevails, the weak have little choice than to accept their fate. But Europe could potentially have been…

This money were going to the US anyway, or most of them, so I guess this is good. Also, remember, this deal is only for another 3 years and something…
