Muistuta taas: jos joutuisimme sotaan, olisi Suomen kiireellisin tehtävä tuhota Muurmannin rata, että amerikkalaiset eivät pysty sitä kautta lähettämään apua Venäjälle.

Trump blamed Zelenskyy for the rise in diesel prices. In reality, Russian diesel accounts for less than 10% of the market, and the blame for the price hike lies with Trump’s senseless war in Iran.
However, another aspect is more interesting: Trump is not calling on Putin to end the war; instead, he is effectively pressuring Ukraine to surrender.
To be absolutely clear: the president of the country that signed the Budapest Memorandum—and effectively stripped Ukraine of its nuclear weapons—is now accusing Ukraine of daring not to surrender to the aggressor.

On vous répète à l'école que le bien et le mal c'est compliqué.
En fait, non.
Personne n'est parfait mais tu as toujours un protagoniste qui est bien pire que l'autre. Et tu as toujours des gens pour lui trouver des excuses.
Les Alliés ont fait des trucs pas bien mais les seuls qui ont intérêt à dire que "c'est compliqué" ce sont les nazis.
Ce n'est pas compliqué.
La Chine est une dictature.
La Russie est une dictature.
L'Iran est une dictature.
La France est une démocratie.
Les États-Unis sont une démocratie.
Israël est une démocratie.
L'Ukraine est une démocratie.
Il y a des bons et des mauvais, et plus les mauvais sont démoniaques plus ils mentent.
Comme à l'époque des nazis.
Comme à l'époque de l'Union Soviétique.
C'est pas une question de gauche ou de droite.
Si vous vous faites avoir, c'est que vous l'avez bien voulu.

‼️🇩🇪/🇷🇺 Dingue : une journaliste se fait passer pour une poutiniste… et se fait recruter par les services russes.
Pendant plusieurs mois, la journaliste allemande Angelique Geray anime une fausse chaîne sous l’identité de « Katya », militante pro-russe.
Très vite, elle reçoit des missions : photographier des sites en Allemagne, surveiller des membres de la CDU, des entreprises d’armement et des ONG, ou encore recueillir des données sur leurs employés.
Le recrutement commence par de petites tâches rémunérées — prendre une photo, récupérer un colis, acheter une carte SIM — avant de passer à des missions plus sensibles. Tout se fait principalement sur Telegram.
Jovica Jovitch, responsable politique du parti rouge-brun BSW, contacte même « Katya » et lui conseille notamment de se filmer en train de danser sur un drapeau de l’OTAN. Il nie aujourd’hui tout lien avec les services russes.
Après avoir révélé son infiltration, la journaliste a reçu des menaces de mort.
Notre continent, et la classe politique européenne est infiltrée par la Russie. Il y a du ménage à faire en urgence.

pay attention. 🧐
Here it is - the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of my Platonic Space paper. mdpi.com/2409-9287/11/5/161 Of all the many unpopular positions I’ve taken over the decades - bitter controversies around the origin of left-right asymmetry in embryogenesis, bioelectricity and genetics, diverse intelligence, etc., this one has by far generated the most pushback: serious (grateful for those!) and energetic attempts to move me to other views, pleas to just drop it and not talk about it (for several different reasons), nasty emails and accusations, impacts on reviews of papers that have nothing to do with this, etc. Kind of amazing to me how incendiary this is. What can I say... Our job is to call it as we see it, and right now for me, this is it. Apologies to collaborators and colleagues for any shrapnel! Time will tell if this pans out or not; I've placed my bets. And btw, if you think this stuff is weird and uncomfortable, just wait… There’s much more on the way. The knob turns slowly but as long as the data keep coming, I'm going to say what I think it all means and follow it to the next steps it enables. Buckle up!

The Broken Window Fallacy. Still destroying today.
A French writer explained the error in 1850. A Nobel economist repeated it in a Pennsylvania lecture hall in 1978. Governments still make it every year. Almost nobody watches the clip.
This is Milton Friedman on the parable of the broken window, the oldest mistake in economics.
The trick is that the destruction is visible and the cost is not. You see the glazier get paid. You never see what the shopkeeper would have bought instead.
Watch how he sets it up before he names the fallacy. He lets the audience agree with the wrong answer first.
176 years of warnings. Still the most persuasive bad idea in politics.

Le rembarquement de l'armée britannique à Dunkerque en 1940 est doublement instructif.
Les Britanniques avaient abandonné le combat en France en 14 jours - les Belges idem et les Néerlandais en quatre jours de combat.
L'armée française a littéralement combattu deux fois et demi plus longtemps que les autres, même après leur fuite et l'agression italienne.
Face à une armée allemande à pleine puissance, toutes les autres armées ont reculé bien plus vite que l'armée française.
L'armée britannique a été sauvée à Dunkerque car l'armée française lui a donné le temps de rembarquer en arrêtant les Allemands le temps nécessaire.
Pendant toute la guerre, aucune autre armée n'a été capable d'arrêter une offensive allemande sans une supériorité numérique massive.
En qualité, l'armée française était la deuxième meilleure de la Seconde guerre mondiale - c'était d'ailleurs encore l'avis des généraux allemands après Bir Hakeim en 1942.
86 years ago tonight, Britain was nine days away from losing World War II.
This is the story of how civilians in fishing boats saved it.
Winston Churchill had been Prime Minister for 16 days. Four hundred thousand Allied soldiers, essentially the entire British professional army, were trapped on a 21 mile stretch of French coastline near a port called Dunkirk. Behind them was the English Channel. In front of them were nine Panzer divisions and the full weight of the Luftwaffe.
If those men were captured, Britain would have no trained army left to defend the homeland. The war would be over by August.
At 6:57pm on May 26, 1940, from a chalk tunnel deep beneath Dover Castle, Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay gave the signal. Operation Dynamo had begun. His staff had planned the entire evacuation in less than a week. Their best estimate: they might rescue 45,000 men before the Germans overran the beaches.
Then something strange happened.
Three days earlier, Hitler had personally ordered his panzers to halt outside Dunkirk. Historians still argue why. Some say Göring convinced him the Luftwaffe alone could finish the job. Others point to the marshy ground around the port. Whatever the reason, the pause gave the Allies just enough time to dig in.
The Royal Navy then put out an extraordinary call: send us your boats. Any boats.
What answered was the strangest fleet ever assembled.
Fishing trawlers from Cornwall. Pleasure yachts off the Thames. A Belgian car ferry. A paddle steamer that normally took day trippers around the Isle of Wight. The Massey Shaw, a London fireboat that had been pumping water on Blitz fires days earlier, crossed the Channel under her own steam.
The smallest vessel to make the crossing, a 14 foot 7 inch open fishing boat called Tamzine, was towed across and used to ferry wounded men through water so shallow no destroyer could approach.
Civilian skippers. Volunteer crews. Bank clerks. Off duty firemen. Men in three piece suits standing at the helm of their own weekend boats.
For nine days they sailed back and forth across a beach being bombed, strafed, and shelled. The sea was sown with German mines. U-boats hunted the larger transports. Stuka dive bombers screamed down on troops standing in chest deep water waiting their turn.
When the last ship left on June 4, they had evacuated 338,226 men.
That afternoon Churchill stood in the House of Commons. He called it a miracle of deliverance, then immediately warned the country: "We must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations."
Four days later, he gave the "We shall fight on the beaches" speech.
Tamzine still exists. You can stand next to her at the Imperial War Museum in London. She is so small you could almost reach across her with your arms outstretched.
She crossed the English Channel under enemy fire and helped save the free world.
