Der völlig frei drehende Orbán und Trump bereiten schon alles vor. Biden nennt Zelenskyi derweil Putin. Der demokratische Westen scheint den Weg zum Abdecker geradezu zu suchen - das „secret wish to fail“ Syndrom in voller Blüte. @joerglau.bsky.social @alicebota.bsky.social

If you've come here from X we're not having the same issue on this platform as we have there. The link to this article is still being miscategorized as spam despite our reports to X. The link to the investigation below should work on Bluesky as it appears to be an X only issue.

Recent PEACE initiatives vis-a-vis Russia are better spelled PIECE initiatives: A piece of Moldova in 1992, two pieces of Georgia in 2008, three pieces of Ukraine in 2014, now four more pieces of Ukraine, and perhaps, soon additional pieces of Kazakhstan, Estonia, Belarus, etc.

Ein politische Versäumnis Berlins, das uns in Europa nach der Trump-Wahl heftig einholen könnte, ist die mangelnde Investition in Solidarität und den europäischen Pfeiler der NATO. Dazu zwei Gedanken und eine Ableitung. 1/21

An absolutely frightening SCOTUS decision. Trump, after re-election in November, could have political rivals or mere dissenters killed with impunity. The next president becomes an emperor. @fmckenna.bsky.social @carlomasala1.bsky.social

Meine neue Kolumne aus der @internationalepolitik.de beschäftigt sich mit dem ultimativen Angeber-Wort der Außenpolitik, dem "Instrumentenkasten", popularisiert vor allem durch Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Es suggeriert immer mehr Optionen, wo doch die Grenzen des Machbaren zu bedenken wären.

What does le Nouveau Front Populaire - made up of La France Insoumise (very left), le parti socialiste (central left), the greens, and the communists (plus a few more) - say about foreign and defence policy ? Where would a French government led by them lead France?

It is hard to describe the feelings that the treason by France in Munich brought about in (up to then francophile) Czechoslovakia. Bunch of fools indeed.
Flowers, not tomatoes, greeted French prime minister Daladier when he returned from Munich in 1938. Knowing the threat posed by Hitler, and that he and Chamberlain had betrayed Czechoslovakia, he said of the cheering crowds: “Bunch of fools." @guardianaustralia.bsky.social

Der sich gegen einen aufgezwungenen Vernichtungskrieg (und keine Atomwaffen besitzende) Verteidigende "dreht an der Eskalationsspirale mit dem Risiko eines atomaren Konflikts": Ich lese diesen Dreck und mir fehlen die Worte ob dieser niederträchtigen Täter-Opfer-Umkehr. #BSW

The Supreme Court's "code of ethics" has no enforcement mechanism and no way for the public to lodge complaints of misconduct. SCOTUS Justices are being allowed to police themselves, which they've already proven they can't do. Is it any wonder why Americans don't trust them?

This is such an important issue. Interview with Bundeswehr Generalleutnant Bodemann on the “Operationsplan Deutschland”, the defence plan for Germany in case of an attack. This is about *so much more* than whether the Bundeswehr has enough equipment. www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...
