Atklāti sakot, mani patīkami pārsteidza mans īsais ceļojums uz Lietuvu pagājušā gadā. Vienā visai centrālā grāmatnīcā Kauņā bija tikai viens plaukts grāmatām svešvalodās, viss pārējais bija lietuviešu valodā. Ceturtdaļa bija tulkota literatūra, bet pārējo sarakstījuši vietējie autori.

A grim parallel between US escalating a trade war w/ China & realising that China has serious leverage in the form of rare earths & US launching a war vs Iran & realising Iran has serious leverage in the form of being able to blow up the world economy. Failure of statecraft.

Contours of European Strategic Autonomy Europe is moving on without the US, and the US does not seem to like it after all.

Today was the day when Europe announced that it is moving on:

The Franco-British agreement to establish a nuclear supervision group, and a permanent headquarters for the Ukraine coalition of the willing can become contours of a new European security architecture - this time without the US.

Just wow. I simply lack any words to describe this video. Not only am I aghast and appalled, I am just disgusted about this mindlessness on the display here.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Déplacement sur la base opérationnelle de l’Ile Longue. Le Président de la République s'est rendu sur la base opérationnelle de l’Ile Longue le lundi 2 mars 2026.

Makrona uzaicinājums piedalīties stratēģiskās diskusijās par Eiropas atturēšanas politiku šķiet pat ļoti interesants. Kas zin, varbūt, ka tuvākajā nākotnē mēs visi runāsim franču valodā starptautiskā vidē Eiropā? www.elysee.fr/emmanuel-mac...

Macron says France will increase its nuclear warheads for the first time in decades French President Emmanuel Macron says that France will increase its number of nuclear warheads from the current level of below 300, but he did not give a figure for the increase.

France will increase its number of nuclear warheads from the current level of below 300, French President Emmanuel Macron said. It will be the first time France increases its nuclear arsenal since at least 1992.

L’ILE LONGUE, France (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron announces France will increase its number of nuclear warheads for 1st time in decades.

Didn’t Owen write some rather sordid piece about the movements of Angela Rayner’s legs during PMQs? Something about her trying to distract B Johnsson? I might be wrong though.

Piemēram, britu studenti analizē
Gledstouna, Čērčila un Tečeres runas, lai saprastu, kā aizstāvēt savas ideoloģiskās un politiskās pozīcijas. Vai mūsu politiķi maz domā, ko nākotnē par viņu runām spriedīs?

Nesagaidu īpašus retorikas augstumus, kad iepazīstos ar vietējo un nacionālo politiķu runām, tomēr mani nereti pārsteidz ambīciju un nākotnes perspektīvas trūkums.

Needless to say, Trump did not mention the word "Epstein" in his state of the union address, but that is the most important political issue in the US this year. As long as the Epstein-Trump files are not investigated, the US has very little rule of law.

Palantir sues magazine that revealed Switzerland rejected its approaches Peter Thiel-chaired data intelligence group alleges that Republik did not give it sufficient right to reply

"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files."

Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.

I really do like the photos, and I wonder why they chose the elderly models. In a way it is really cool and refreshing, because I am so tired of young male models in their 20ies. At the same time, wearing sweaters is often associated with being an elderly male. Doesn’t it reinforce the stereotype?

Changes in radical right’s security and defence policy position: the case of Sweden democrats, 2022 Although scholarship on security and defence policy of radical right parties (RRPs) is growing, limited attention has been paid to why some RRPs change their positions and geopolitical orientations...

Glad to say that @eepolitics.bsky.social just published my article on how Sweden Democrats changed their security and defence position, specifically, their stance on NATO membership, just months before the Swedish general election in 2022: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
