“The current crisis is not merely a series of unfortunate events; it is the inevitable byproduct of a leadership style that is entirely transactional and woefully unstrategic. … There is a deep-seated, toxic hubris at play here.”

“From Casino Bankruptcies to laundering money for the Russian mob for 40 years to hiding the Epstein Files and his penchant for violent sexual assault to pedophilia. He commits the crime, blames everyone around him for bailing him out, or we all go down. Not this time, shit head. It doesn’t work when you start World War III.”

“The same administration that spent the last year calling Europe pathetic, threatening to annex Canada, tariffing allies…, pulling out of every multilateral agreement…, publicly humiliating NATO partners, and treating the rules-based international order like a suggestion box — is now demanding those same countries help escort ships through a strait that’s only closed because Trump and Netanyahu started a war nobody asked for.”

“Mark Carney … said Canada would decouple from American dependency. He’s decoupling. He said Canada would build new alliances. He built them. He said Canada would defend its Arctic sovereignty. Now he’s spending $35 billion to make it true. Meanwhile, the man calling him “Governor” is drowning in a war he can’t win, an Epstein scandal he can’t contain, a munitions crisis he can’t admit, and an approval rating in freefall.”

“There’s something broken in political journalism and political data analysis today. Too many…start with a conclusion in mind…and then go hunting for numbers to back it up. Often, the data you see is just decoration for an argument that was already finished before anyone looked at the numbers. I think we can do better. Data-driven journalism should start with the data, not the conclusions.”

Stubb: ”Ukraina håller på att vinna kriget”
“Finlands president Alexander Stubb säger…att invasionen av Ukraina varit ett ”kolossalt misstag av Putin”. …när det går som värst…går det…25 stupade ryska soldater på varje dödad ukrainsk soldat. Ryssland har stort budgetunderskott, noll tillväxt, hög inflation och hög ränta vilket gör att Putin varken har råd att avsluta kriget eller betala soldaterna… Rysslands invasion har misslyckats.“ (DN 20260223)

Jag har en gammal iPad som inte går att uppdatera längre. Det innebär att jag kan jämföra nya iOS 26 med numera gamla iOS 16. Ja, iOS 26 ser häftigare ut med sitt Liquid Glass. MEN jag vill inte ha ny funktionalitet som jag inte har bett om! Hur avaktiverar jag den här skiten, tänker jag, när jag ser att sorteringen av mina mail har blivit fel? Det Apple INTE heller talar om är att man också har tagit bort funktionalitet som jag ville ha kvar. Jag kommer att hålla hårt i min gamla iPad.

“Trump probably thinks he’s a genius for coming up with the Grand Idea of using bombs to pound Iran into submission… Leaks from the masterminds he surrounds himself with say that he wants to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. We were told he’d already done that last year with his bombing campaign, but hell, maybe Trump forgot…”

”After spending a year publicly berating Europe and Canada for “free-riding” on American defense spending, Washington is now warning Brussels that if it builds a serious, sovereign defense industry under the EU’s upcoming SAFE framework and revised Defense Procurement Directive, it better not cut out American weapons makers.”

” Mark Carney nails it. We have to "stop pretending" … We can’t respond and act to this hugely consequential geopolitical moment if we are complicit in the denial of our leaders and media. This is a week in which the world we have known has swung on its axis. We cannot simply carry on as if it’s business and normal.  …not speaking the truth, now, is deeply corrosive. That is the subtext of Carney’s speech.”

”A sitting U.S. president asked for invasion planning against allied territory. The military refused—on constitutional grounds  That refusal may have prevented a geopolitical catastrophe. But it also exposed how close the system is running to its limits. When the most stabilizing force in American democracy is the word no spoken…by generals, the danger isn’t theoretical anymore. …it’s already here.” —Dean Blundell https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-trumps-top-military-commanders #trump #usa #denmark #greenland
