“The comparison between life in the United States and life in Denmark is not just polemical. Musk-Trump treat Europe as though it were some decadent abyss… But Europe is not only home to our traditional allies; it is an enviable zone of democracy, wealth and prosperity with which it benefits us to have good relations, and from which we can sometimes learn.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

Starvation as a weapon of war occurs when food supplies are obstructed by warring parties.

Starvation as a weapon is not only a war crime, but it may also qualify as a method of extermination.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines extermination as “the intentional infliction of conditions of life, inter alia the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population.”

Daylight Saving Time starts in #Europe, the Middle East and #Greenland.

Therefore part of the US will switch to DST while the mainland in the West and South will stay on ST ?

#Canada and #Greenland are among the earth's wealthiest lands in clean drinking water, that is drinkable water without a high energy cost to clean it. Being only second to #Russia, Trump's imperialism has some logic to it (if you can consider the old W.European logic of take what you want by force)


The most popular online payment methods in some European countries

(we were surprised to learn that PayPal is one of the most popular online payment methods in Europe. We thought it was only a little popular, but it is in the top three in most of the countries on the list. The situation is worse than we thought! 😬 )

The "True Size" site is a fascinating way of comparing the actual size of countries. Here's Australia, superimposed on Europe - showing Cairns to Perth is similar to the distance from Moscow to Madrid.

There once was a reporter bold and free,
Covering protests for all to see,
But in Turkey, she was caught,
Arrested and then sought,
Deported from the land by the sea.

There once was a reporter so brave
In Turkey, she covered each wave
But the authorities frowned
Her voice would be bound
Now she's gone, but her message may save

Trump Threatens Europe and Canada if They Band Together Against U.S. 

In a late-night social media post, the president said he would impose "large scale" tariffs if Canada and the European Union allied to "do economic harm" to America.

President Trump said in a middle-of-the- night social media post early Thursday that he would come after the European Union and Canada if they banded together to "do economic harm" to America, opening a new front in the unfolding trade war. "If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!" Mr. Trump wrote. Mr. Trump's post creates a new problem for the European Union, which is already trying to respond to his tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and potentially a broader array of goods and services.

The United States is by far Europe's most important trading partner, and the prospect of worse trading conditions has left the European Union scrambling to negotiate. But the Trump administration has showed little appetite to strike a deal so far. "In the end, as it is said, one hand cannot clap," Maros Sefcovic, the trade commissioner for the European Union, has said. That has left Europeans seeking to strike new alliances and deepen existing trading relationships. And concerns about President Trump's shifting stance on military support have driven partners like the European Union and Canada closer together. Canada is already working toward providing industrial support for Europe's rearmament push. European Commission officials did not immediately comment on Mr. Trump's post.

European leaders are struggling to find the funds and political will to increase military spending and support Ukraine, despite their tough talk against the US and Russia.

Unity is already fracturing, particularly when it comes to borrowing money and raising collective debt. Ursula von der Leyen's plan to rearm Europe, called "ReArm Europe," has been rebranded as "Readiness 2030" due to opposition from Italy and Spain.

More European nations need to follow France’s 🇫🇷 lead & create something similar for their people.

👉🏾 #France 🇫🇷 issues its citizens with an invasion guide - including how to survive a nuclear attack - after #Macron warned #Europe must prepare for war https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14517485/Protect-you-France-issue-20-page-survival-manual-citizens.html


What is the Western Alliance waiting for? The United States to reverse trajectory? Suddenly not become a hostile power. Suddenly toss the Russia play-book? Suddenly stop destroying decades of trade agreements and security arrangement?

It's a fucking hostile power. Why is it being appeased like it's 1938?

Move fast. Move hard. Sanction it. Isolate it. Show strength for fuck sake. This fantasy of a return to 2020, like it will all reverse magically in 2028, will end in disaster and we all know what form that will take.

"Christian evangelical organisations in the Netherlands are violating international law and EU sanctions by collecting money for illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to the findings of an investigation by the Dutch investigative platform Investico and TV programme BOOS.

One organisation has even offered to buy weapons."
