Det, vi ser, er en gryende europæisk tragedie Leder | Her kan du læse Politikens leder, der skrives på skift af medlemmerne af avisens lederkollegium, som Kronikredaktør Marcus Rubin står i spidsen for

"Det er en tragedie, der handler om at svigte sine værdier. En tragedie, der handler om egoisme og svigt af solidaritet. En tragedie, der blotlægger afstanden mellem idealer og realisme. Thi alt det er Europa lige nu".

Det er Europa lige nu og lige siden 2008 hvor Rusland invaderede Georgien...

Zuzana Vlasatá: Mladí a ženy mají zájem o politiku. No ještě že tak! Úspěch žen a mladších kandidátů v parlamentních volbách rozvrkočil mnohé mudrlanty na sociálních sítích. Co kdybychom ale pro jednou lidem s ideály hned v začátku nepodráželi nohy?

Pěkně, dneska Zuzka @zuzanavlasata.bsky.social k nářkům Pirátů nad tím, že jim voliči poslali do sněmovny "nezkušené ženy". denikreferendum.cz/clanek/23801...

Opinion | What if a Russian victory in Ukraine were only the beginning? This isn’t a Russian “gray zone” war with Europe. It’s a real war. And the West is dithering.

russia's stocks in freefall. Worst day since 2022. With 4% drop. The reason for it? Putins b-day speech and implications that peace remains elusive

Tetyana Sakiian and husband Vadym were preparing to start a new chapter together with the birth of their son.

Hmm. The Russia–Ukraine war has entered a new phase
Recent policy choices by America, EU and CN, and domestic economic strains, are reshaping Russia’s calculus. Since time may no longer be on its side, it is challenging Western resolve in more risky and aggressive ways.

I agree. I've seen Putin described as risk-averse; I don't think that's right. He takes risks that other leaders wouldn't, but only when he assesses that the likelihood of an effective response is low. The West has yet to change his assessment that he can keep pushing us back.

Buchempfehlungen von Harald Welzer: Welzer liest Krise der Demokratie, Totalitarismus und Zahlen des Grauens. Die Gegenwart gibt viel Grund zur Weltflucht. Der taz FUTURZWEI Herausgeber empfiehlt drei scharfsinnige politische Studien zur Wappnung.

"Es ist die Zerstörung einer „gemeinsamen Welt“ und einer gemeinsamen Wirklichkeit, die die Voraussetzung der Zerstörung von Demokratie bildet."

@tazfuturzwei.bsky.social-Herausgeber Harald Welzer empfiehlt aus aktuellem Anlass: Hannah Arendt, Sebastian Haffner und Steven Levitsky/Daniel Ziblatt.

Vedr. Merkels eftermæle: Forhenværende litauisk general skrev tidligere på året, at Merkel bad Ukraine om ikke at modsætte sig annekteringen af ​​Krim.

Merkels Ruslandspolitik styrkede Putin og gjorde EU afhængig af hans energi og risokoblind. Prisen? Det begynder vist langsomt at gå op for os.

Merkel leder febrilsk efter en måde at pynte på sit eftermæle. Hun kommer det ikke ligefrem nærmere her:

"Merkel giver Polen og de Baltiske lande en del af skylden for Putins krig".

🎯 "It is not Russia. This is an international conflict. China is supporting this war. It is not just a russo-ukrainian war. Its bigger."

Eager to see for how long we can really afford to stay in denial about this.

"China is providing a lifeline to Russia. China is supporting this war."

Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk on the role played by China in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia now has to import gasoline from China. This is the ultimate humiliation for the Russians to be so at the mercy of China for both their imports AND exports.

SITREP 🇺🇦 DAY 1321

One of those days...

1. According to Reuters, Cuban army 🇨🇺 is now a cobelligerent of 🇷🇺 in 🇺🇦

2. Belgorod blacked out

3. Feodosya (Crimea) oil terminal (250 kt capacity) burns

4. 33 Shahed leakers out of 116

5. 🇫🇷: Lecornu forms government Sunday PM, resigns Monday AM

Thats great, congratulations. München is not too bad and the theme extremely timely...

I do not think this has anything to do with stupidity. It is much worse, its ideology.

Ex: another outright pro-chinese business book published was praised to the skies by the entire establishment. In 2025.

"Nothing to see here, its good money and we have to jump into Xi's arms or we're doomed"

1/5 China is an enemy of Europe, and only Europeans are stupid enough not to see it.

China sees itself as being in a proxy war, backing Russia in Ukraine to weaken us.

The longer we deny this reality, the harder it will be to deter China from escalating its support

"Žádám vás snažně, abyste nepodpořili ty, kteří vám slibují, že všechno vyřeší za vás. Takoví lidé chtějí, abyste jen mlčeli, poslouchali a drželi krok. Žádám vás snažně, abyste nepodpořili ty, kteří mají diktátorské sklony, příliš často mění názory, nejsou schopni se domluvit s jinými..."

Žijeme v době, kdy blbci se nestydí za svou blbost a dožadují se dosahu pro své myšlenky, které zaklínají selským rozumem.

Děsím se doby, kdy kvůli této mase se chytří lidé přestanou absolutně chtít vyjadřovat k věcem veřejným.

Odchod z X je první krok k tomu, aby algoritmus "nenavisti" nevyhrál.

Afslappet måde at fortolke ændringerne omkring os på, når man har været ledende figur i dansk politik i årtier. Og en af hovedarkitekterne bag den "viser det sig nu" noget naive danske version af Fukuyamas "historiens afslutning".

Også skønt med sådan naturkraft. Forandring helt af sig selv, ikke?
