Germany has today allowed itself virtually unlimited spending on defence and Ukriane, with the upper chamber of parliament adopting legislation that will enable the government to take up to €1 trillion in debt. This is the single most important thing that has happened or will…


Zeitenwende 2.0 makes the first edition seem pretty uninspired in comparison


Quite something that more than 3 years after Russia’s full-scale invasion, Trump has managed to get the Germans to do what they previously said was impossible: get serious about long-term military spending and abandon the all-holy schwarze Null

Big day for the Baltic states today. Another chapter in the collapse of the Soviet Union which, unfortunately for Europe, is still unfolding

Tomorrow the Baltic States are completely disconnecting from Russia's electricity network, because being handcuffed to an angry bear is a very bad idea.

A long thread on the war and the current situation. Although the worst-case scenarios didn’t materialize in 2024, it was the most difficult period since spring 2022. There were positive developments, and bright spots, but the current trajectory is negative. 1/


Fascinating analysis measuring nighttime light output as a proxy for economic activity. “After years of economic stagnation & materially worse lives for people in Loyalist communities, when shit hit the fan the army decided en masse that their sacrifice was no longer worth it.”

🧵Look towards the light. As Rebel forces in Syria advanced across Syria & never stopped a key question was why the Regime evaporated. Syria by night provides some clues on how the Regime's social contract collapsed. Read my analysis here aspistrategist.org.au/just-look-at-t… & read on

Captagon drought about to hit something serious


Phenomenal investigative report by @te_rowley and @ICIJorg on how energy, influence, and money intersect on the Black Sea — recommend reading for close followers of corruption in Eurasia, oil, or illicit finance

New investigation by @ICIJorg shows how a key oil pipeline, once hailed as the "start of Russian-American dialogue", turned into a crucial source of leverage for the Kremlin's war on the West. icij.org/investigations…
