a man in a suit and tie is smiling in front of a painting of london Alt: GIF of Farage making a stupid face

I’m convinced at least half of those who intend to vote for Farage’s Reform UK Party Ltd don’t know what they’re voting for, in the same way Brexit voters didn’t.

Farage’s target audience is the ignorant.

‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions? Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

POLITICO reports that the US is looking to back out of several NATO commands: UK to lead NATO’s Joint Force Command in Norfolk, Va. and Italy to staff JFC Naples. Both are currently led by US officers. (US takes MARCOM instead.) subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

Called for this last Oct 👇

according to a military source cited by Reuters (earlier reported by Politico and French outlet La Lettre).

In a related reshuffle, the U.S. would assume control of three operational-level commands: Allied Maritime Command, Allied Air Command, and Allied Land Command.

The United States plans to relinquish its leadership of two key NATO command centers—Allied Joint Force Command in Naples, Italy, and Joint Force Command in Norfolk, Virginia—transferring them to European officers,

U.S. Southern Command * X.com @Southcom On Feb. 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
