I am very much an “IR guy”, whatever that means. But one thing it does mean is that I love the discipline of International Relations (IR). Senior Lecturer at Malmö University, Sweden
De mest trovärdiga siffrorna vi har tillgängliga anger att mellan 150-180 000 palestinier nu har dött i Gaza. Bekräftade dödssiffror för direkt våld är ca 66 000, men troligen kraftigt underrapporterade. Det närmar sig att 10% av befolkningen är utplånad. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Assata Shakurs självbiografi påminner oss om att USA:s demokrati aldrig fungerat särskilt bra för en stor del av landets invånare.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

SD har lagt ett förslag på EU-nivå som går ut på att flytta palestinierna från Gaza och som är inspirerat av Trumps idé att göra det. Även om SD inte vill göra om Gaza till Levantens riviera så bryter SD:s förslag mot både folkrätten och FN:s folkmordskonvention.

"America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change," write @ryanenos.bsky.social and Steven Levitsky.
They're right that Harvard's in position to lead that change, or to set the opposite tone.
Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

From Turkey to Hungary to Venezuela to Benin, firing civil servants and dismantling government departments is how aspiring strongmen consolidate personal power.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath.
To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.
The Spanish Socialists have been caught with their proverbial pants down. Having proclaimed an embargo on arms sales/transfers to Israel, a new investigation revealed non-stop cargo flights replete with weapons from Zaragoza to Tel Aviv. Till this day! www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

There is a fundamental issue we need to recognise. A serious Euro force in Ukraine needs US enablement, air defence, air cover & ISR. Those things - enablers, air def, air power & intel - are exactly what many in the Trump admin want to shift from Europe to the Indo-Pacific.

Here it is for all to see what it always had been while managing to masquerade as a "democracy". America: the Emperor without clothes and showing its deep-seated true colors and nature: an imperial oligarchy.
