Islands regering vil holde EU-folkeafstemning 29. august I 2013 stoppede tiltrædelsesforhandlinger mellem EU og Island. Nu skal islændingene stemme om genoptagelse.

Iceland is advancing the date of its referendum on accession to the EU to Aug 29. This process was launched after Trump's ambassador in Reykjavík started bragging about how he would make Iceland the "fifty-third state." He said this was "just a joke," but these kinds of jokes have consequences.

Hungary Seizes Ukrainian Bank Staff, $80 Million in Cash and Gold The move follows a dispute over oil deliveries and prompted Kyiv to accuse Hungary of hostage-taking.

⚡️US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The U.S. voted against a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on March 5.

Russia will bomb more Ukrainian apartment buildings, the war will last longer, and your own negotiation process will be even more useless because of this.

Lauri Myllyvirta: EU CO₂ emissions fell only 0.8% in 2025, the second year in a row that the bloc has fallen short of its targets. Adverse weather played a big role but underlying issues are slow progress on transport and buildings electrification and wind power buildout.

💔 Russia is now leveling Kostiantynivka to its foundations – dropping glide bombs on the city and relentlessly striking it with drones, day after day.

The city had nearly 80,000 residents in 2022. Today, fewer than 2,800 are believed to remain.

Reizēm ar draugiem runājam par to, cik nenormāli gudra lieta Latvijā ir gan vienas personas partiju ziedojumu griesti, gan neļaušana ziedot juridiskām personām. Paldies visiem, kuri savā laikā cīnījās par šo.

Ich kann mich hier nur wiederholen: Dass die Ukraine diesen Winter überlebt hat, ist eine enorme Riesenleistung. Wird nun aufgrund der internationalen Lage leider nicht leichter. Zumindest scheint hier weiterhin die Sonne und ab nächster Woche wird es sogar warm.

Russia's transfer of two Ukrainian prisoners to Hungary is a gross violation of international humanitarian law, according to The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of POWs.

The HQ condemns the transfer of Ukrainian citizens between Hungary and Russia and considers it a Russian provocation.

Stephen Miller: "What you're seeing right now is a military under President Trump's leadership that's not fighting politically correct"

Contributor: U.S. attack on Iran echoes Russia's invasion of Ukraine It's disturbing for the U.S. to be playing the role of the aggressor. Equally disturbing is to see mistakes of the Iraq War already being repeated.

Iran is not Ukraine, but the United States is acting more like Russia.

@jilldlawrence.bsky.social on the uncomfortable comparison:

Lol, just heard from a German friend who is calling the backup in the Straight of Hormuz right now the "fossil fuel dunkelflaute."

Niche humor.

The EU has the tools to stand up to the US (read anti-coercion instrument) and I read @olofgill.bsky.social's statements to mean it is ready to use them if Trump really blocks all trade with Spain because Sánchez dares criticize him. The EU has to stand together.

Far-right ‘gangster morality’ and the search for meaning: why you should read Camus Philosopher and writer Albert Camus defined gangster morality as ‘an inexhaustible round of triumph and revenge, defeat and resentment’. Sound familiar?

Interesting article about Camus, and his take on authoritarian regimes. Particularly pointed in how they always use hyperbole over truth a exercise a "gangster morality". theconversation.com/far-right-ga...

Brussels responds to Trump's threat:

"The Commission will ensure that the interests of the European Union are fully protected. We stand in full solidarity with all Member States and all its citizens and, through our common trade policy, stand ready to act if necessary to safeguard EU interests."

Page 261 of economic historian Guido Alfani's book "As God's Among Men," relaying the history of European democracies preserving themselves by banishing the super-rich, from ancient Greece through the Middle Ages. I apologize that I'm unable to type in the text verbatim: I'm on my phone, typing with one finger on the tiny keyboard (meaning: typing is very slow), and I have to go to an appointment now.

Fun fact: for over a thousand years, European societies banished & exiled the super-rich, who were recognized as posing an existential threat to democracy.

Even in the 4thC BCE, Aristotle said the rich would "be placed above the law or they could even become 'the' law."

Bring back banishment?

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Germans,

Please help restore some faith in your country by telling me there was at least *some* negative 🇩🇪media coverage of Merz just sitting by while Trump insulted Spain and threatened a trade embargo last night.

Or did they cheer their chancellor complimented for his behaviour obedience?

I don't see how Putin can continue working with and making business deals with Trump and his American business partners after Trump assassinated Ali Khamenei.

Trump quiere romper las relaciones comerciales con España porque el país se negó a seguir la locura de Estados Unidos.

Hoy decimos: Somos europeos, por lo tanto, SOMOS ESPAÑOLES.

Espero que la Comisión Europea haga lo mismo.

Does it feel good, Britain?
Cause it looks like it feels good.
