No change in disavowal reasoning through decades. "Global weather is getting more and more extreme, although we haven't seen the worst yet. Global warming means that Danes can look forward to warmer summers. And likely soon we won't have to shovel snow during the winter". Danish article, year 2000

1. Artiklen sætter ikke konteksten med den russiske hybridkrig. Problematisk når nu der oven i købet er en aktuel debat, netop i forhold til ukrainske flygtninge i Polen. Se eksempler her på FSB fake news som aldrig har fundet sted, ukrainske flygtninge arresteret for børnedrab og brandstiftelse:

Putin gør fortsat som Rusland har gjort mod sine naboer i århundreder. Besætte. Udbytte. Undertvinge. Ødelægge. Mørket i Ruslands politiske kultur. Det har aldrig haft noget med hævn at gøre. Og det har ikke en fis med hævn at gøre i dag.

Better Joensuubus. Makes it so easier also to reach the Ilosaarirock Festival as well. Looks really great- music, good company and wild nature all at once

AfD-politikere fra Dansk Folkepartis søsterparti i EU er ej de eneste, der deltager i "det russiske Davos". Hubert Seipel, som ifølge lækkede dokumenter angiveligt fik 600.000 euro for heltebøger om Putin, kommer også. Han deltager i et panel dedikeret til... desinformation og mediers troværdighed.

Same author, same brilliant text on China. Only difference is outreach, where Bluesky is just 3% of outreach on X. I will never post on X again, ask its owner why. But wow, living and surviving in solitude on Bluesky is something of an achievent sometimes.

Debat på X efter tidligere britiske spionchef Richard More var ude med at Rusland udelukkende er i stand til at fortsætte sin terrorkrig i Ukraine takket være Kina. Det fik China Daily's tidligere chefredaktør Chen Weihua ud af busken og trække kinofobikortet: "Uden Kina havde du tigget på gaden".

"Urgess businesses to show interest in cooperation on geopolitical risk"....rightly so.. 🤫Western businesses are still moving to China as we speak. Free access to rare earth metals that are otherwise sanctioned by China...for access to technology.

Indeed, this scenario on China occupying Taiwan by political scientist Andreas Fulda, albeit deemed unrealistic by many obseevers in the near future, doesn't exactly come out of nowhere.

Trending story how China "injects certainty and stability into our turbulent world". But if you look at Chinese biodiversity since 2017 its a story of rapid decline- unseen through the past thousand years. With one big exception: Maos disastrous sparrow campaign stopping birds from eating grain.

Likewise: According the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, every € saved by the EU on fossil fuel imports from Russia through renewable energy investment (windfarms) allows the EU to reduce its security and defense spending by 37 eurocents without losing geopolitical strength relative to Russia.

😎Hvem er frisk på en omgang FSB billard? Jeg tror nok jeg lige springer over hvis det er.

A very colourful greeting to Russia from Copenhagen today #photography

EU's 20. sanktionspakke mod Rusland er for første gang også rettet mod Kina og kinesiske virksomheder for samarbejde med den russiske hær om at erobre Ukraine. For Bejing, der ellers havde positioneret sig som stabilitens vogter på baggrund af Trumps svigt og krigen mod Iran, er det alvorligt slag.

Iron rule of collaboration: "Collaboration always comes at a risk. At a certain point, the occupants' demands on the collaborator spirals. In an asymmetrical relation, you never know when the stronger part changes the rules of the game". 😵Russia demands systemic briefings on EU meetings from Orban.

Når DR overser at Kina har dybe totalitære rødder, kommer der også til at mangle vigtige brikker i forklaringen på hvorfor kineserene er så begejstrede for fx sexrobotter med AI eller hjælperobotter til børnene i dagligstuen. Fx her nobelpristager Svetalana Alexievich om Homo Sovjeticus:

Last chapter of @carlomasala1.bsky.social international bestseller "If Russia wins- a sceniario" is the most important as it discusses a rarely considered aspect of today's geopolitical shifts: "Xi feels like he's at the apex of his power. His plan, developed from that of his predescessors, works".

Nå ja, her i Danmark er der stadig debattører der for alvor tror på at det i sidste ende var NATO der startede krigen i Ukraine. Og skriver forvirrede bøger om det. Rusland og Ukraine er tilpas langt væk og uvidenheden om begge lande fortsat så omfattende at søforklaringer trives og har det godt.

Anders Vistesen: Vi ville gerne forny, ikke partiets politiske platform, men kommunikationsformen og det stilistiske udtryk. Der har vi taget en del inspiration fra nogle af de kolleger, jeg har siddet med i EU. Hvor var det nu Vlaams Belang, FPÖ og Rassemblement National fik deres inspiration fra?

After President Karol Nawrocki's meeting with Hungarian PM Sulyok yesterday, attacking a journalist, he is now on his way to Budapest to visit Orban. Senseless in a Polish political context, his intention seems to be support Orban in his election campaign together with Salvini, Le Pen and Wilders.

Ok kamp for Rigsfællesskabet. Men. "At holde hovedet holdt" er ikke at lave gasaftaler og snakke på tomandshånd med en tidligere, KGB-mand, toptrænet i manipulation var bundnaivt. At påstå at Nordstream 2 ikke var et geopolitisk projekt fra Kreml var ikke at holde "Hjertet varmt". Det var kynisk.

Danish Oscar for the documentary about the Russian teacher Pavel Talankin, who documents how ordinary schools have become part of the army recruiting system. Talankin gives a glimpse of the return of Stalin, demanding unwavering loyalty to a militarist-nationalist anti-Western ideology everywhere.

Turns out Danish-produced (Helle Faber) "Mr. Nobody Against Putin" is nominated in the category of best documentary at this year's Oscars. "Mr. Nobody Against Putin" has won praise around the world for documenting Pasha Pavel Talankin's everyday life at school in the small Russian town of Karabash.

Kaiser Wilhelm II, 1914: You (soldiers) will be home "before the leaves have fallen from the trees". Putin, 2022: Asked about the war that he had unleashed hours earlier: “Don’t worry about that, it’ll be over in a few weeks.” 🎺 2026: Celebrating, dancing few hours before starting his war on Iran.

"Blandt iagttagere og folk med adgang til Det Hvide Hus er der stor bekymring for, at Trump og folkene tættest på ham ikke har forstået hverken Iran eller de komplicerede forhandlinger omkring atomprogrammet". @tv2nyheder.bsky.social Det minder mig alt for meget om
